Probably an impossible question to answer, but do the squids ever "win" this battle? (Or does "winning" for the squid simply equate to "getting away"?)

After this Kimmel suspension, and the senseless Stephanopolous settlement before it… I think I’m done with Disney. Likely not forever, but for a while. I have remarkably few warm feelings about the company they are now, or Bob Iger.

Disney is a company I’ve spent my entire life admiring.

Confirmed, that this is an extremely fun game and a good way to spend ~4 hours. (I like games of this length.) A fun video game for people who don't really like video games.

Disclaimer: I work for the publisher. That's not why I'm writing this. I just really like the game.

This is such a dream project for me. I hope it's a ton of fun for you!

How are you writing it? (as in, what language / frameworks)

Do you like creating @play.date games with a retro-styled mechanics or visuals? We're planning a feature in the magazine and would love to hear from you.

While I don’t adore Big Trouble, I completely admire its spirit. That I don’t like it more is my fault, not its fault.

But I am like this for Flash Gordon.

The best theme park rides are:

- one-third thrill
- one-third heart
- one-third magic show

It can be tricky. Check out this video I just made.

1. Start with your Playdate unlocked.
2. Hold Lock button for 7 seconds. (Screen will freeze.)
3. Screen goes blank. (It's OFF now, until you press the Lock button which turns it back ON.)

If your Playdate is unlocked, hold the lock button for 7 seconds. It’ll shut off completely. (Caveat: it also won’t download any games; won’t notify you of OS updates, etc.)

Eh, depending upon how you tally it, maybe $135. It is an expensive product to make. And if we could afford to sell it for less, we absolutely would.

On the plus side, though it is not inexpensive, we do think it's a good value; we're proud of it; lots of people love it. So many good, unique games.

Our fully landed costs are about $140/unit. That's not including the overhead of writing the OS, marketing, support, etc.

I don’t know if you all remember what the Internet was like before every site asked you how you wanted your cookies handled but it was an f-ing nightmare.

(It’s the Disney film “The Black Hole”. It’s a not-good movie with the trappings of an excellent movie, and some great moments. Worth watching, for the dedicated.)

This image is as good as this film gets, but it’s pretty great. And the score is beautiful, by John Barry of James Bond fame.
