Thoughts on the Playdate?
I'm thinking Nintendo is in trouble.
Thoughts on the Playdate?
glad this is going to flop. something to look forward to
>pay $150 for a metal square with a shitty dpad and no backlight and we are also not disclosing anything about any of the games on it.
No thanks.
>literal who console
who even made this? What company? Is it just some nobody conpany like the ones that make off-brand nes plug and plays?
Also where’s the retweet numbers that you purposely cropped out?
>only 2 buttons
This is a joke right?
I think it might actually be an elaborate ruse this time.
Pretty problematic.
millennials are so fucking pathetic
yikes
>oh and... there's a crank????
Why do you dig through twitter just to post some nobodys opinion?
kek
Who the fuck are they expecting to make games for this? Do they even know majority of male are the demographics for this thing and not female kinds?
>Teamed up with teenage engineering
No wonder it will be overpriced as fuck.
>I’m not paying money for a console because none of the workers/developers are trans/women/minorities.
They weren’t going to buy it anyway. Saying your not going to buy a product because a white straight guy made it is just stupid. Your not going to look up who makes your toilet paper are you?
probably because he thinks it's funny. why are you so offended by it?
And they all turned it down.
>crank electronics
God no, I've used enough crank flashlights in my life to know that it's such a stupid gimmick and I'd rather just bring batteries.
It's probably for self-recharge, so you never run out of battery.
>, I've used enough crank flashlights
That's the one thing for witch I see it being useful. What's the issue with it ? Better than the lamp dying on you.
I hope they go bankrupt
>a dpad, two buttons and a crank
The retro emulation crowd can't even save this piece of shit. At least you could do something with an Ouya.
It depends on how long you're expecting to use it for.
Going on some wilderness exploration or something? Yeah, it'll be useful.
Camping for the weekend? Not so much.
>Shit is like 3 inches wide
>Black and white screen
>Games are a secret
>Gimmick crank not even used in all games
The only thing I like is the desing but only because it looks like a neat MP3 player, and fuck I would prefer this thing to be one.
It's going to be great. Imagine the shitposting from nodaters trying to cope with the fact that they missed out on the pre-orders and will never ever get to play any of the games. Boy are they going to tell us that they're bad and they don't really want them but I'll know that they know that it doesn't matter what they want, because even if they wanted to play the games, the literally can't.
>unironically saying yikes
yikes
Millenials should burn. No other generation has become this shit so quickly
After checking the official site, i think it's pretty neat. For starters the little crank looks stupidly satisfying, and the guy behind katamari is making a little game for it. I don't really get the general outrage. Also I like that it embraces the toy aspect of vidya.
The crank isn't even for recharging, it's a gimmick controller for the games.
>For starters the little crank looks stupidly satisfying
lmao
No, it's a control method. One game has you walk with it.
This is an insane product, made by crazy people.
It's not
It should cost like $30. Not the same price and in some cases more expensive than a 3ds. The pricing makes absolutely zero sense and they are shooting themselves in the foot before the race even starts. Its baffling.
I'm all for new control methods but what fucking good is a crank on a console with two buttons on a black and white screen.
oof
Yikes
>massive companies with basically unlimited budget have trouble shipping/selling hardware
>LETS MAKE A GAME THING
Something something green energy and sustainability, buy our consumer product to fight climate change!
The crank is for games not for recharging the battery. That would actually be kind of cool at least.
It's alright as an emergency flashlight but they really don't last long at all. With how cheap, light, long lasting, and powerful LED flashlights are these days you might as well just have those scattered around with an extra set of batteries as your emergency flashlight. Not like LED lights drain the shit out of batteries like old flashlights did. I got a cheap-o 5 dollar LED flashlight that takes 3 AAA batteries and I use it rather often and I've only had to swap the batteries out once and I've had it like 3 years.
I guess if you really want to prep and have as many JUST IN CASE options as possible you might want one but these days you might as well just throw a dinky little LED flashlight and an extra set of batteries in a plastic bag and tossing it where ever. One in the car, couple scattered around at home, just where ever you can think.
>don't look clementine but there's that kid who cranks his gameboy
What? I'm all in for new input methods. It looks fun.
>It should cost like $30
I don't know what it should cost. I don't personally see myself buying the thing at 150 bucks, but I like the concept so far a lot. I'd also think that at that price the thing will have neat materials and feel and so on. It's obviously a very expensive toy, but with proper marketing I see it working.
All generations are shitty just in different ways
The real redpill is that humans are trash

I REALLY like the design but there's no way this is going to be anything with 99% of anyone's time.
Like, man, the yellow/white/silver scheme is so nice, I really enjoy the flat, rounded edge look, it's really simple. if this was like a video player or some kinda gimmick design android device, i'd spring for it
How the fuck do you make a videogame handheld in 2019 and not backlight it? Why would you NOT at least go 4 buttons? How quick do you think that crank is gonna cause the thing to break?
Crank sucked

I disagree. The demo so far looks like it makes good use of it. You could replace that kind of input with buttons or joystic, but the little crank is so much better for what it shows it does.
Games included.
>a season of games

>$150
>no backlight
WOW JUST LIKE THE GAMEBOY. NINTENDO DEFINITELY NEVER RECTIFIED THAT RETARDED DECISION FROM THE GAMEBOY SP ONWARDS.
zoomers make millenials look almost sane in comparison
for some reason they really took the gender thing
i like the idea of one game per day, exciting little thing to await for the next day to see what they'll launch. like a christmas calendar. but $150...

Hipster faggots will buy the shit out of it.

Who is this for? I honestly can't think of any reason to buy this.
>that caused a shitstorm last time the electric company came out
Were they not completely satisfied by "it's a box with a flashlight in it"? What the fuck.
it's always gotta be something with these people
Nintendo is literally back to the drawing board, because these guys came first with the crank

>mfw retarded hipsters buy this and find out the games on this won't be better than $1 joke indie games you find on Steam and will barely be more complex than a Tamagotchi
So retarded, okay.
It's a bit of a long story and it boils down to no one at the electric company ever talking to each other.
>Answer the doorbell
>"Hey, I'm with the electric company. Your infrared receiver is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Mind if I sneak into your back yard to run a cable back to the meter?"
>Go for it dude
>He sees the box stuck on the side of the breaker next to the meter
>Instead of, say, opening it or asking he puts 'strange device' in his paperwork
>Start getting threatening mail, warning me how illegal this and that is
>Don't use a lot of power anyway because I know how to turn off the fucking TV before leaving.

>Threatened with fines and all kinds of shit
>Finally call them up and ask what the fuck is going on

>Don't even say anything. Pop it open. Shine it in his eyes.
>"... oh."
>Rinse and repeat like 4 times, threatening letters, techs sent out to look at it, not actually clearing up the confusion when they get back to the office.
It was lots of fun.

I can see this being somewhat financially successful for whatever company is actually making money off this. I'd imagine they don't have to sell a lot to break even. They're not selling these at a loss.

At $150, I could buy 2-3 games today to play on my Switch that would give me as much entertainment as Playdate's entire first season catalogue.
I can't imagine why.
Is it just cause 'le quirky gimmick'?
I don't get it.
I mean KAtamari was cool as fuck and I'd be interested to see what this guy comes up with but it's just going to be POC type games, nothing extensive
Literal who opinion. But I’ll bite and say: how does she know they’re cis? Is it because she assumes they are because not being a tranny is the norm thus acknowledging that being trans is a rare occurrence and they don’t even make a small potion of the population?

This is a tranny, right?
Might have been interested in something like this during the '80s, and it would've been appropriately priced for the type of games on it too. But these days? I couldn't even see getting this for my kids when I could give them a new 3DS bundle with some preinstalled games on it for a similar price. From what we've seen, like the time rewinding game that uses the crank, this looks like a waste of time, money, engineering, and marketing. Perfect for spoiled millenials that love lighting their wallets on fire.
They are only making one "very limited" batch of this thing. The sour grapes are going to be out of this world.

>Keita Takahashi
>white
you can't even do that, the original gameboy not only has more buttons, but more colors. The playdate only has 2 colors, so it can't do the shading that the original gameboy can. Also, unless someone can map start/select to cranking motions, the device lacks a start and select, which for games like pokemon, is necessary.
I came her to make fun of onions and get this based and redpilled post, good shit.
I mean, couldn’t you theoretically map Start and Select to button combos? Like A+B together = Start or something? Not that anyone in their right mind would ever use this god damn thing as a homebrew machine
>I fought in the meme wars; I know what it's like
Except at Handball, apparently.
Can I have one?
would suck for any action game because they use things like run+jump
well something like that would have to be a game-by-game basis. Super mario land, for instance, pressing b and a would be a run input + a jump input.
So its by the faggots who fill bogus dmca claims

Playdate is aiming to be the console you buy more as a statement about your refined and eclectic gaming tastes and less as a workhorse that will be a central point in your gaming life. Fashionable indie darlings like Celeste or Into the Breach might be fine for the gaming masses, Playdate seems to say, but truly experimental gamers play with a crank on a low-res black-and-white screen.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE
What is ''the video game''?
A fate worse than Ouyia's
BING BING WAHOO
>Rebellious
>Artistique
>Visionary
>Limited Edition
So accurate it hurts. Secession when?
>marginalized folks whose work would be a wonderful fit for this
tell them to apply then?
>white liberal is angry that whites made something
i fucking hate kikes for ruining these generations, you didn't see this shit even 10 years ago. what a joke
That's a lot of (you)s.
>tfw not sure if people are teasing or not
No. Tell you what, you have any of those CFL bulbs that are burnt out? Those goofy curly abominations? Give me that. I'll salvage the toroid core from it and turn it into a joule thief that lights an LED with a dead battery. I put them in frosted baby food jars so they just gently glow away on the table. My niece calls hers a fairy jar.
I just can't figure out how to make a solar powered version. I want to make little sunjars that you place on the window sill and charges up during the day and glow all night. I just either need batteries that are kind of expensive or little brain boxes that I'm not sure how to build or program. Some day I'll sit down and figure it out.
Can you recommend me a decent LED flashlight that i can use to spook people on the street out of my apt window?
>these actual good smalltime indie games are too popular for us faggy showoffs
You sound pretty based flashlightbro. I'd give you my bulbs. Just wondering, are you an electrical engineer or this is just your hobby?
You have an interesting mind, Tell us more
>tfw you will never be gross man putting your limp dick in her rotten, pus filled open wound
Thanks. Stay based bro.
Cringe af. Kys my guy.
Art is 90% convincing rich people to spend excessive money on stupid shit.
what's that about amazon letting poorfags and shitskins have high end gaymur PCs?
Looks like pure shit. Looks like some chink shit Soulja Boy would put out.
>black and white screen with no backlight
>extremely basic inputs
>games are (probably) not demanding in any way
It’s crank powered. Like an emergency radio. Calling it now if it hasn’t already been announced
where did you see that?
But they described the specs as "real beefy", so they might just be insane.
Wouldn't a laser be more fun for that? I dunno. I'm not really a connoisseur of flashlights or anything. Just any time I'm at Lowe's or Harbor Freight I end up buying another flashlight. I'd try a few out and see which seem to be nicest but I'm at work. I only have four flashlights with me.
Well, the flashlight thing just kinda happened. The fairy jars were just a goofy little side project. A while back I got bored and decided to mess around with an arduino. It was fun and got me interested in some goofy DIY for fun projects. I like that kind of stuff. Anyway I hopped on youtube and stumbled across a channel called BigCliveDotCom and he's an electrician. I took his joule thief video and just stuffed it in a jar.
>Tells me Granddad died
>user keeps crankin' it
I'm going to wait for the Soulja Playdate
Is this the juicero of vidya? Pretentious wank
are there any maglite sized led flash lights
the fuck
the ouya literally had more potential
Thanks, they really are insane.
>Black and white screen.
Dropped.
Yea Forums is seething and triggered, but she is 100% right.
>Yikes
YIKES!
yikes
>Black and white screen
What a joke.
If you look past the pretentious exteriorr, it looks like a gimmicky toy.
It might have a few charming hours of fun, but for that pricetag that simply won't be enough.
From the looks of that picture, they're losing.
And this is why I will emulate old stuff till I die
this is why i come here
Is this an elaborate prank? I genuinely feel like I'm being gaslighted at the fact that people are discussing this thing seriously.
Is it not obviously stupid?
I can understand wanting something minimal. I can understand wanting higher quality. I cannot understand how this is a unique experience or in any way "experimental". QWOP and Katamari were experimental. This isn't. Just lazy.
A challenger appears.
>but i'm at work
>I only have a few flashlights with me
I'm not teasing you btw. You're p cool bro
(((katie)))
Could some zoomer explain to a boomer "a season of brand-new games" actually is?
A season like a season pass in DLC.
is this what peak san francisco faggotry looks like
Based and illuminated
Someone screencap please
That's what pisses me off. It's obvious that the media & journos are either being paid off or has ties to the company in some way, because every article is the same shit about how new and innovative it is.
Yeah dude I love being atomized by nuclear explosions
>First week of college
>Go to church with my family that Friday at the school chapel
>Grandpa comes up to me mass
>"Hey user you want to go see the tall ships at Navy Pier tonight."
>Know of a party and want to go hang out with my new friends being the stupid fiend I was.
>"No thanks Grandpa we'll go see them next time."
>"O-okay user, you know they only come in once every four years?"
>Go to party anyway
>Barely remember anything that happened, other than a general me being a fly on the wall as usual.
>My grandpa died three years later.
I fucked up so bad. To this day I imagine what it would have been like to go see the ships and hangout with my Grandpa. Now all I have is a shitty memory of a mediocre night out with people I don't even hang out with anymore.
they love video games so much that they can't actually come up with specific reasons why they like them.
>designed by rebels
against what?
>backed by superstars
if by "superstars" they mean "keita takahashi and a bunch of literal whos," then sure.
I came for the shitty gameboy knockoff. I stayed for flashlight user.
I don't even think they're being paid off. Journos always jump at the opportunity to fellate anything they consider "innovative", because journos are novelty-obsessed retards.
You're a cool guy flashlightanon.
you sound like a metal gear character
many of the journos admit that they have friends working on it.
its just the same crony bullshit as always.
the crank isn't for charging thouhg if i am correct, it's basically a hipster scrolling wheel
>against what?
Gamers
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY JACK, KIDS ARE CRUEL, AND I'M VERY MUCH IN TOUCH WITH MY INNER CHILD
But can it run doom?
>2 buttons
>a d-pad
>a crank
Oh boy, can't wait to play some shovelware garbage.
Crack don't recharge battery
Is the crank for controls or charging the battery?
>black and white screen, worst graphics than NES.
>games like links awakening suffer greatly because of the lack of buttons
>games like SML2 are worse off because of the resolution limitations
>literally every dev embraced the fact that they can use colors in handheld games
>everybody rejoiced when the GBA SP came with a proper light
>hurr lets shit on all that arent we special
Control
*ahem*
FUCK PLAYDATE AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE
>spending all that Firewatch money on a fucking EDGE cover
And in the era of smart phones no less.
Can't wait to laugh at it's inevitable failure.
This. And it doesn't even have some kind of unique dot matrix screen such as the original Gameboy that at least holds more charm than black and white.
That's fucking retarded
It already looks insanely uncomfortable to hold, that crank's gonna make playing any game torturous
>lack of buttons
but the crank!!
Counterpoint: it has a crank
Checkmate crankless-incels
OMG IT LOOKS SO COOL AND ORIGINAL LOOK AT THAT CRANK!!!
it's just 3 onions boys and a jap. what's the fucking problem.
so the same niggas that made firewatch are making this?
>tangerine
holy SHIT
But I own a dozen fishing poles. And they aren't monochrome. Real check mate, San Fransisco atheist.
they couldve added one analog stick and that would open up way more gameplay possibilities INCLUDING spinny crank faggotry.
the brick GB has 4 buttons, this has two+crank which I guess could be used for two additional buttons (spin forwards and backwards). its even AT BEST which is pathetic.
I know the two on the left, but what was the right one from? What made this guy >literallycryingrn ?
>Get into fight with dad
>Uncle that gave me a part time job when i was a neet and helped me get off my ass comes over to watch a movie with my dad
>Still mad at my dad at i dont even remember what, that I dont go into the same room to say hi to my uncle
>Uncle passes away from a random heart attack a few days later
Yeah, but can it run Crysis?
>game journalists calling this stupid thing innovative when it's literally, demonstrably regressive
What is wrong with these people
he's reacting to the star wars episode 9 teaser
>Episode 9
Oh, they already put a trailer out? Neat.
My favorite part about this design is that they Love Games So Much that they reversed the A&B buttons as if they were a Japanese company.
There hasn't been a good flop in a while, good to see that there's one to look forward to. I'm hoping it will fail harder than the Ouya. Sorta like how Lawbreakers failed so bad everyone forgot about Batteleborn's failure.
Twitter is truly an asylum for the feebleminded
It's destined to fail for sure now.
STOP. I DIDN'T COME TO CRY YOU FAGGOTS
Ofc
Cave story has a fucking fanmade port to PSP, of course it has one to ARM linux
>homebrew on a black and white screen with 2 buttons
what about the crank
A FUCKING CRANK
I fucking hate white women.
>not wanting to play original Gameboy games
>WITH A CRANK
>game has crank controls
FUCKING DROPPED
Reminder to go fishing with your dad/grand father while you can.
I mean the idea of an indie handheld is charming in itself until you realize that there are hundreds of cheap handhelds that can run android and are thus already inherently much more accessible to both players and developers. It's like those people want a closed system to be back to the "eat up piggies" phase where you had to play what was available since there wasn't really a choice
Can't wait for the fighting game with CRANK CONTROLS. People thought hitboxes would be the new fad.
Repent. Some day head out to the piers. Kick back, have a beer, watch the boats come and go. Reminisce about him.
Got a working playdate here, ama
>pronouns
just gas everyone with a twitter. please.
Why do sandwiches taste better when you cut them corner to corner rather than straight across?
>narrative designer
>Riot Games
What fucking "narrative" does League even have?
The crust bites are less concentrated because the amount of corners is cut in half.
Based
Petty problematic.
Not him, but that is easy. When cut into triangles the hypotenuse, being the longest possible side for square piece of bread that is cut in half, is pure bread and not crust. If you cut it down the middle, you're left with a equal side of crust and then the sides are also crust.
>4 corners
>3 corners
>half
I struggle to believe these people are real.
They genuinely seem mentally ill to force their identity politics bullshit into EVERYTHING without fail
Why does it hurt when I pee?
Write/reply to emails and does workplace activism to help women, minorities and LGBTQ workers.
Its a fucking joke, right?
You say that like it's a good thing
>$140
still too pricey for me
surprised you'd buy two of them at that cost
anyone have suggestions for cheap plates I can fit a pi zero into
Explain to me why the devs being mostly white dudes is a bad thing.
Unironically looking forward to picking one up on ebay for 25 bucks once it's clear it flopped and scalpers are looking to recover any money they can. Looks like an interesting little device.
Because there are potentially people who aren't white males who did not apply, did not express any interest, but definitely do want to be involved in the making of this console.
At least if it flops they can claim blacks would've done a better job.
I am kind of surprised we haven't seen any gimmick joycons, be it from Nintendo or third parties.
For anyone unfamiliar with Teenage Engineering this will be a twice as expensive as it should be, an absolute blast to use, and will sell out for months because of limited production and a well deserved cult following. It'll be a unique experience that people will describe as "a love letter to the medium and inventive". Whether that's worth it is up to you, I wouldn't say "I love Mario and Halo so I bet I'll love this!", depending on who you are it's going to be a weird lil treasure that'll make you feel like a kid again or you'll drop it in 3 minutes as a gimmicky piece of trash, neither is the wrong response.
Jesus Christ don't they ever stop?
They have to stagger out the releases of games because
a) if you bought one and decided you hated all the games at once, you might feel entitled to a refund, and failing that, a resale which damages the value of the brand
b) there's not that many games to begin with. a dozen released over a few months. no current plans for a season 2.
c) no actual specs available (dev team literally just says "real beefy") means it might not even be able to hold more than a couple games at a time. there doesn't seem to be a microSD slot or anything.
Godspeed user.
Please post more and recommend some flashlights.
I would expect a shill to be able to articulate thoughts a little more clearly than this.
What's that? Last time I saw that logo was in BR2049 for whatever reason.
>For some reason my bullshit senses tingle
>It is real
Goddamn man.
sounds like winning to me
FREE WILL IS A MYTH
RELIGION IS A JOKE
WE ARE ALL CONTROLED BY SOMETHING GREATER
MEMES
Apparently Teenage Engineering is involved which kind of made me laugh. The most obnoxiously fucking hipsterish hardware synthesizer company there is. Supposedly decent sound engines, but their shit is purposely designed to have a toylike look and go for like 1000+ dollars while not even supporting velocity sensitivity.
>Thoughts on the Playdate?
>I'm thinking Soulja boy is in trouble.
FTFY
You know that game company that's been producing successful handheld video games for 20+ years that's poured hundreds of millions of dollars into research and development and has a proven track record with systems we can literally just steal ideas from and nobody will call us out because the ideas are, at this point, considered to be bare minimum standard for a portable console?
Fuck all that lmao have a crank faggot.
Your doing gods work dragonposter
I unironically think if it had
>3rd party dev support
>A backlight
>A touchscreen
It could be a neat little thing.
But for this price? You can buy an SD Cart and a GBA SP for the same fucking price.
LIKE THE GOOD OL DAYS AFTER 9/11
Lol maybe because I'm not one? I'm a sound engineer in the recording industry and use a number of DAWs, but Teenage Engineering's little calculator sized drum machine feels really good in hand is super fun to use. Can it do even 1% my software does? No. And I'm not going to bother picking up the others in the series, but I can't deny that they got something really right with it, it's a great toy. So I expect this will be the same. It won't replace your Switch or PC, it'll be a really interesting toy and I don't blame anyone for saying "that's not for me". Like if you're a srs producer only want to finger serious 100 pad samplers then yeah skip their 12 pad calculator sized toy sampler.
Atari.
You keep calling it a toy, but the creators of it call it a video game console so...
this is the only playdate i know
What a stupid cunt. These people need to fuck off outta this hobby
This.
It really shouldn't be interpreted as a mass-market console contender. It's clearly not in anyway... The backlash here is a bit bizarre.
Granted I'm a bit confused as to how heavy the media coverage has been. -But, I suppose some very loved designers are involved and it's an oddity, so will get hits.
Can understand thinking it's an overpriced, hipster gimick product. Fair enough.
Personally, I fucking love Teenage Engineering's work. Might pick this up as a pretty curio in UX design.
-As that's clearly what it is and all its intended to be.
>Panic - a studio out of Portland that mostly does Mac software
it all makes sense now
Somebody kills these bitches already.
bro.
this can compete against phones?
Also WTF is panic?
I'll never get the design nerds love for TAs stuff, it looks like cheap, non-intuitive, non-expressive shit. At least Elektron has some pretty impressive feature behind the rather opaque interfaces. It's original if nothing else I guess.
We stopped lynching, then we stopped bullying, and now creatures like this are everywhere. HANG these SUBHUMANS from a tree.
Actually we need a world war so we can kill all millennials and finally gas all the jews that programmed them too.
You fags can have your underpowered handheld with a crank, I'll be at home with the only console with games and state of the art technology. The Amico Intellevision.
Call it whatever you want if "videogame game console" makes you feel like more of an adult, but a Switch is also a toy, so is a PS4, so is an Xbox. Sure, it is literally a video game console, but it is also a fun toy, those things are not mutually exclusive. I assure you that this thing, like all their other products, will feel more like a toy than a "console" or "drum machine", not in a bad way, but don't think it's a good replacement for a Switch or w/e you play games on, it's a good complement.
Kek
Ill get it when its free in a garbage dump
Only semi-related but my lovely aunt just died and i barely feel anything. Should i be worried
so much bullshit speak to defend worse than 1$ indie game shit
I blame that faggot Steve Jobs and Apple for inspiring a whole cancerous generation of hipsterfaggots.
The Op-1 and POs are surprisingly intuitive and well thought out in terms of useability. OP-Z, admittedly less so.
Adore my Digitakt, don't get me wrong. -And I totally understand people thinking of TE's stuff as obnoxiously overpriced toys. They kind of are. But like the best toys, they're damn fun. Not always the most practical, but are a pleasure to have and use.
The crank should be for charging, not for play..
They make expensive, cheaply made shit with the same aesthetic, only a handful of products being worth it and nearly everything having QC/customer support issues. If they helped design more than the crank then it's probably going to have hardware issues somewhere.
You can usually find close enough substitutes to what they make for half the price. The only exception is their Pocket Operators (the calculator things) are about as cheap as anyone can get and aren't too bad, but they straddle the line between toy and gear.
Holy crap I had one of these.
fuck ur aunt shes gone now.
Shit. Overpriced and you don't get your moneys worth at all. Could be fun to emulate.
I am trying to get the sdk and some other manuals from them to post here so we know the specs to see where than money is going.
lol, just shedding some light on what to expect since some people think it's going to compete with Switch, it's not going to at all and I wouldn't recommend anyone get one if they're looking for an alternative to a Switch or any other console. I had fun with their calculator drum machine, but it doesn't replace anything, it's just a fun toy and it's ok to have fun toys sometimes if they're interesting and unique. That's all.
boy i'm shocked
That avatar is incredibly effective at telling you everything you need to know about the person behind it.
nobody thinks its competing with the switch you dumb retard.
people call it what it is, a shitty san francisco faggot scam.
Their QC can be patchy, sure. They're not a very large company. Haven't personally had any issues with support though.
>but they straddle the line between toy and gear
Agreed. That's pretty much the point. Toys are fun.
Yeah my only experience is with one of the Pocket Operators so everything I'm saying is based on that. I expect this to be like the PO of videogames, a little expensive but ultimately unique and fun toy and not competitive with any other videogame console, just a cute experimental toy and that's fun for some people.
>2019
>black and white
>$150
Yeah no.
...So don't buy it?
It's a niche product with a limited audience. Not everything is for everyone.
The pocket operators feels far too gimmicky for me, but I've seen some fun stuff being done with them. Like a gig with an Octatrack wizard who invited people completely unfamiliar with synths up on stage and had them make whatever noises with them, turning them into halfway decent tunes with sampling fuckery in realtime.
>it's just at toy guys!
>150 dollars
if they are going after the onions market, how do they know if those people will be able to operate the device and the crank at the same time?
yes, amazing conclusion, retard.
It's a toy for people who aren't poor.
150 is nothing idiot. It's for stupid hipsters
>gameboy ripoff in 2019
>experimental
faggots
Is this going to be the Action 52 of this decade?
>muh stupid hipster boogeyman
>150 is nothing idiot.
Then why bring up the price retard?
What does Playdate-tan look like?
"A thread..."
I don't think there's a single more obnoxious phrase on the planet. You're making ten tweets in a row, don't treat that like a grandiose event.
I hope so, we’re due for another legendary blunder.
Last one was what? Ride to Hell?
Provide a counterpoint, friend.
She has a crank attached to her head
Bullyhunters
Like a hipster chick with downs syndrome.
An obnoxious hipster faggot, probably.
>A thread...
I don't get it. What's that supposed to mean?
That's weird because people can't stop comparing it to other
major consoles in this thread. If someone said "My Korg has 1500 voices and a backlight why would I waste my time with a 12 voice Pocket Operator?" then I would say what I said, they're not really competing.
>hipster boogieman
>It's being shilled as the microbrew of video game devices
I bring up price because it's black and white, tiny screen, gimmick of a control option are you stupid?
Not really comparable.
Very much doubt this will be in particularly high scale production and demand will dictate supply.
150 is nothing idiot.
True but you expect more the higher a price of something goes
It means you're going to reply to yourself on twitter several times to write a few paragraphs worth of text. Saying "a thread" is to encourage you to open the first tweet and scroll down the following tweets. It's generally done to give the tweets an inflated sense of importance, rather than for reading convenience. If you actually wanted to write a long tweet, you could either post a twitlonger or screencap text you wrote in another program.
150 is nothing so anything more than nothing is a bonus
its directly competing with any other chink handheld that plays indie shit, and this one is clearly not holding up at all.
True, I'm honored to support this
>You need women control in every space
Maybe if Yea Forums made fake attack on she as playdate fanboy, whole thing just colapse.
>"It fits in your pocket!"
>Has retarded crank thing sticking out to ensure it never fits smoothly into your pocket without getting caught on a hem or some keys or something.
Hipster shill.
Jesus Christ your fucking stupid. $150 is too much money for a shitty time waster that no one will ever pick up again after being nominally amused with it for the first 45 minutes. It has nothing to do with being poor, it has to do with wasting money on something that isn't even worth your time.
I can't help it, it's such a cool toy
150 is nothing idiot.
lmao this gayboy has lost his mind
YOUR fucking stupid. It's a shitty time waster that isn't even worth your time.
Oh. That's dumb.
That's cool.
I got a Tank007 flashlight some years ago, been wanting to upgrade.
Occasionally I forget that Yea Forums is populated almost entirely by children.
Ah, you're right I'm not going to bother with such a gay lil hipster toy
I beat it on my Dreamcast, anything's possible
send me $150 and I'll send you 12 ROMS worth your time instead of this pretentious hipster faggotry
Then this toy should be perfect for them.
Will it run Doom though?
>brainlet-sama proves he has no fucking idea what's being discussed
Check m8
Why would I do that when I could download those roms for free? Also learn what pretentious means faggot.
I'll never really understand how people can get so angry about how other people choose to spend their own money...
Horses for courses.
oh all of a sudden $150 is too much for you for the same amount of games with higher quality, go fuck yourself hipster retard
Pyrenees tend to slap your shit when they want attention. Your hand, arm, leg, just whatever is within reach. The community calls it "pyr paw"
Thanks doc
Your fucking stupid. $150 is too much money for a shitty gay lil toy that no one will ever pick up again after being nominally amused with it for the first 45 minutes. It has nothing to do with being poor, it has to do with wasting money on this pretentious hipster faggotry that isn't even worth your time.
I'm not paying for free roms. Take your own advice.
I'm glad your came to the right conclusion.
