Today is Bandcamp Friday

There are loads of shmup soundtracks on Bandcamp. Buying any of these albums or tracks today supports the artist. Here are just a handful that I've wishlisted, if you can find anymore on Bandcamp post them here.

On more than one occasion I've thought about buying a PlayDate. Is it worth it? Many of the games look like great fun.

I like mine! It doesn’t get as much use nowadays (after a lot of use you sometimes have to press the dpad harder to register) but both seasons have some solid games and the sdk is awesome to work with if you’re a developer
