It’s been way too long since I wrote anything. I’m supposed to be doing two posts a week, and yet I haven’t posted anything since my Donkey Kong Bananza review. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been playing anything though.

Not every video game needs to be an epic adventure that breaks new ground. Sometimes, it’s nice to just have an easy and convenient way to play a classic card game or two.

In late October of 2022, I received my PlayDate, which I had preordered over a year earlier. The PlayDate is a very small, black and white indie handheld console. It mostly looks like a small Game Boy, with it’s D-pad and two face buttons, but it has a unique control twist. On the side is a crank that you can turn to do different actions in games.
