Pretty Good Hat

A playdate console with its back cover removed, revealing the back of the controller board and battery.

My Playdate was always pretty fiddly, registering d-pad presses unreliably, and it made for a poor experience, such that I never really got into gaming on it. This weekend I finally opened it up, realigned the buttons over their contacts on the board, and – with some struggle – got it put back together. What a difference! This thing is so much fun!
