Some other Playdate stuff (+) 

I didnt know this but the Playdate console trademark is older than I thought; Panic filed it sometime in 2016, a few months after the Playdate event in LA started.

There's a reasonable chance they didn't know about it, which is possibly why they sent that shit email in 2018.

FTR: Panic did try to get a more diverse group of people for season 1, but they were turned down, but they're going to try to improve whatever it is that they do so that barriers that might lead to them being turned down aren't there next time.

Natalie Lawson (one of the organisers at the original Playdate) doesn't want people to trash the console, just for Panic to understand the power dynamics and not fuck up next time, and both from Cabel's response and Playdate's they seem to understand this and sending that email (which was threatening whether they actually wanted it to be or not) was a shit idea.

One of the higher ups at Panic admits and expresses regret that the Season 1 developers are not really diverse. (So it's not just the 4 that were mentioned) He wants to improve the situation so that this is not the case the next time

anyway, now that we have polls, something important:

best nintendo dad

the Pokémon sleep gadget should be sold in combination with one of these

well y'all better get used to me saying "time to Pokémon Sleep"!

I hope I'll be able to just feed my Pebble's sleep tracking into PoGo

"Pokémon Go Plus +" is prime Nintendo branding

y'know, maybe do something with AR on a phone, or with VR on the Switch
