Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

I use mine just about every day, I've been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I'm excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I've gotten out of it. But, that doesn't really help anybody else, I know.

It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I've played start-to-finish more than once.

Some degree of identity erasure is inherent with mass pronouns; interesting question!

I totally get respecting specific pronouns, no confusion there.

I don't see how the scenario presented in OP is different from wanting to be referred to in the third person.

That makes sense, but what is the material difference? Isn't it ultimately the same thing by a different name?

Plus you can plug the mac into itself for free charging.

It's literally cheese with added emulsifiers but ok.

"Treat others how they wish to be treated, bearing in mind how you feel when you are mistreated" just doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way.

You'll find that on the external diagram.

Introduces confusion how? Because it doesn't agree with the arbitrary convention you happened to grow up with? Why is your preferred convention not equally objectively bad? I thought Americans were supposed to be the egotists.
