So, I played #DuetNightAbyss and have some thoughts.
I played the first and second beta as well, and was in love with game design and gameplay from the first minutes.
+ The game's slight gothic aesthetics are very to my liking.
+ The game design have a vibe of some old games, and it is nice. 1/4

No progress on the Pocket Terminal yet. Still don't have time to start FW development due to the main job. But I have switched my Main PC setup to a smaller case, so I now have a lot of free space on the desk - before-and-after photos
Photo of the desk setup before the PC case swap. Computers on the table, left-to-right: Retro PC with desktop case and CRT monitor on top, Gaming PC in a large aquarium case in desktop orientation and display hanging on top of it, Streaming PC in the smaller aquarium case in tower orientation and a smaller display hanging on top of it. There is also a large mousepad, half of which is covered by a Gaming PC case. The mouse pad is in a funny, large carpet style Photo of the desk setup after the PC case swap.

Another photo to understand the size of the device

A hand holding a credit card-sized computer in a 3D-printed case. There are antennas at the top, a display, and a cute squid logo. Under the display, there are PCB traces styled like old Norse runes, which translate to "knowledge". At the bottom part, there are four rows of buttons, each row has 12 buttons.

First prototype assembled and ready for FW development. I checked the ESP UART, and the battery charger works well. Now need to write some software to check the display and radio module

Made some progress on case 3D prints for the prototype. Buttons are fixed in case, but still movable. I had to use a 0.2 nozzle to make print-in-place possible. The logo to the right of the display is still under finalization.
Three cases for a credit card-sized computer in different colors: black, dark green, and blue. Lying flat on the desk. The case has a window for an OLED display, a place for a logo near the display window, and keyboard keys in 4 rows with 12 keys each. Between the display window and the keyboard, there is text stylized as PCB traces. The text is the word "knowledge" in Old Norse runes Three cases for a credit card-sized computer in different colors: black, dark green, and blue.

First prototype PCB finalized and ordered. While waiting for the boards, I'll continue to polish the PCB and probably change a few things, like a smaller charging IC, etc. Also working on the case 3D models

Made some progress on the Cardputer project. Layout will be slightly changed on the tracing stage. Also, I am thinking about replacing 128x32 OLED with 212x104 e-ink display, but need to run some performance tests before.

I am currently working on the prototype of my own card computer. Inspired by M5Stack Cardputer. The project was on pause due to my day job, but next week I'll be on vacation, so I'll try to make some progress on Cardputer.

Hey, my first post here, and a small introduction:
My name is kvitenj. I am a dwarf living in a cozy cave. The cave is a well-illuminated space decorated with flower pots. There is some moss here and there, a comfy bed, and a tech corner to craft complex electronic gadgets.
