Fantastic tiny tech! This reminds me of an old Fantastic Four comic in which a captured spy has a radio transmitter (transistorized, of course) hidden under his thumbnail.

I’m a fan of pico-8, and this thing sounds wonderful.

edit: details- pico-8 is a “fantasy console” with eerily similar output/interface that is programmed in lua.

Remember when iPhones were credit card-sized?

Just got a pybadge LC today. Using MakeCode Arcade to build simple retro games is a blast! I had a semi-credible Seawolf-alike up and running in short order.

Seeing one’s tiny sprites on the tiny screen is completely charming. Somehow my bleeps and boops didn’t carry across to the hardware, but I am not sure if that’s me or it’s just early days.

I have no interest in games specifically, but geez, shut up and take my money.
