I continue to be absolutely unhinged in my fixation on indie video game consoles, haha. I wrote a 17,000 word essay on indie consoles, their history, the current generation of them, and some of the games on them. I love them so much, it's such a fun niche. If you're interested, you can read the essay here, though obviously it's a pretty big read, haha.
My favorite is still very clearly the PlayDate, I have one now and am even have made a couple games for it. It's so amazing, the games on it are are great, it's got an amazing community, overall I love it greatly.
However, I also got a really obscure one called the P/ECE, which only released in Japan in 2001. I've barely seen anyone ever mention it, and yet, it's got some really good stuff for it, and is really nice. It's like a little gameboy, but open-source and with a home menu you can program to be anything. It's so cool.
I going to turn the essay into a video essay, I wrote it as one, but first I want to do some revisions, ad obviously it's going to be a real undertaking, as just reading it aloud is over 2 hours of time.
Anyway, that's my indie console update. If you want to learn more, check out the essay or read my other blog post about indie consoles here. Have a good day!
