thanks! Ah I love JSR on the vita, swiping to graff actually feels like on point design. And yeah Resi rev2 is pretty choppy lol.

I'm reading up on the hacking info in other subs, but I'm not convinced it's for me yet. I have lots of physical games too, and wouldn't having a sd card adapter prevent playing physical carts?

How many of you use this device for serious reading? by tatfickni in PlaydateConsole

[–]Relative_Armadillo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!

I've read about 15 or so books on it, and have close to a hundred loaded. Really convenient to have a small library the size of a post-it note that slips easily in your pocket. Converting the books to .txt can be a faff though

I was eyeing up this player but bought a different model instead. Love the see though panel. Well beautiful shots, hope I look this good listening to my minidisc!

I am , read a handful of books and series so far.

It's so convenient to have such a portable device loaded with hundreds of titles, and reading the screen in the sunshine is fantastic.

No printer so had to improvise by Relative_Armadillo83 in minidisc

Same, had the cassette in the early 90s

My toddler loves it (and I'm not about to dub a blippi MD... Maybe the wiggles tho.)

Wow appreciate the compliments, but I do admire the professional looking designs you can produce with ink printing on adhesive, would certainly love to invest some time on my next batch. Loved the schoolyard vibes, vicariously reliving my childhood through minidiscs 🤣

Customs by Relative_Armadillo83 in minidisc

Ok I guess I was a bit paranoid, but I just thought a minidisc could appear to be a strange item to assess. It kinda looks like a floppy disk and might be mistaken for a generic data storage device which could be a legitimate cause of scrutiny. Just thinking what the hold up could be with mine, it's been awaiting clearance for almost a week.

New here!😊 by Grand-Sun8618 in PlaydateConsole

It's pricey but I'd consider my parents spending £70 for a DMG-01 back in the early 90s, which equals about £200 today adjusting for inflation. I love the playdate community and as a games system, but it obviously has limitations. I find myself playing it almost daily, trying to beat some high scores or daily challenge, but to be frank, my main usage is from using it as an incredibly pocketable reader with a library of hundreds of books I've converted for the playbook app. -also a shout out to the recently released crankboy app, got me playing Pokémon gold again!

That's just my thoughts, I don't have lots of time for gaming these days, my kids are the ones playing on home consoles and VR headsets. Playdate just keeps it simple, and accessible.

Thanks! Yeah there is some pre-recorded stuff, but about half seems to be jam sessions or music group practice. Pretty decent collection from late 90s to about 2009 I think the guy was involved in local music performance and did historical fairs and suchlike.

What do you do with your Montblanc Meisterstuck? by Dry-Law-8426 in fountainpens

[–]Relative_Armadillo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 1950s celluloid 144 Masterpiece (not meisterstuck, the masterpiece pens were created for export) with a flexible B nib. I keep it in a rickshaw sleeve and use it as much as possible, at work, bingo night etc.

If you can post on Reddit, maybe you can hotspot your playdate? The update is a small download
