## What Jamie wrote

This looks super fun, and Panic is a top-tier company that makes great products. I love the idea that this brand new handheld game unit comes with a "Season 1" of 12 games, delivered every week. [Gruber's reaction](https://daringfireball.net/2019/05/playdate) is worth reading too. Plus, it has a crank! Love that! 🤩🕹
