2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Hi, all. So I just made a semi-impulse purchase of a Playdate console. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I would like to hear from you guys. If you have it, what has your experience been? Is it as good as some reviews make it seem? How big of an issue is the lack of backlight? Any favourite games?

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'll return to this comment when mine arrives to remind myself of the titles you mention. I am very excited to get mine. I'm not a huge retro gamer, but I do love the creativity of constraint. Like setting a movie all in one room. You have to get pretty inventive to pull off an enjoyable experience with so little to work with.
