One of my favorite software companies of all time. Well, hardware too, these days.
Panic has been awesome for like 25 years. Fuck yeah.
What were they making before this thing?
Mostly macOS software. Pretty good apps too!
Portland based company, hell yeah!
Good on them! I was intrigued by the Playdate ever since it came out, but always found it too expensive. Maybe I’ll get one after all.
But yeah, no surprises about Nintendo here…
Cool nice shit costs money sometimes. You can’t really consider this device from a regular value standpoint. Its unique.
They also give you 24 games within the price of the device. At say $5-$10 a pop, its decent value for the games alone.
Its unique
It definitely is, but that doesn’t justify the price in my mind
I was considering one butt fuck me that price is insane for what you get.
All little mini game boys are a serious rip off. It’s just an stm32, an esp32 and a screen. We’re talking maybe 35$ to build one without bulk pricing. The crank is just decoration, it doesn’t even do anything.
The crank is a part of the game controller. Teenage engineering helped with this so of course it’s expensive. You’re acting like labor is worthless. Go make one for $35 then. Prove your case.
