Playdate

A VTuber known as Kiki is challenging other Playdate handheld owners to beat her score of 125 stars in Flipperlifter, inviting players to share their best scores and screenshots. The friendly call-out has drawn engagement from the small but active Playdate gaming community, where owners often compare results from the device's seasonal games.

The Playdate, the small yellow handheld console from Panic that launched in 2022, is being praised as one of the best value devices in gaming. Commenters note that while it was originally seen as an oddball experiment, its growing library of free weekly games and low price have made it a standout deal at a time when games and hardware keep getting more expensive.

VTuber Kiko Kiki is asking her audience what they are playing today, saying she is currently working through the Playdate Season 3 games and Bravely Default. The post doubles as a check-in with her community, known as her 'Small Fry' fans, and highlights two titles currently drawing attention: the new batch of Playdate games and the Bravely Default RPG. Fans of indie handheld gaming and the vtuber scene are picking up on both.

Research highlighted by Nautilus shows that orangutan mothers, who raise their young largely alone, actively arrange opportunities for their infants to meet and play with other young orangutans. The findings suggest deliberate social coordination among solitary mothers, shedding light on how young orangutans learn social skills and challenging assumptions about how isolated orangutans really are.
