I’d like to take a moment to talk to you about yolk. Yolk is objectively the best colour. There will be some amongst you who say this cannot be true, that taste is personal and so one colour, therefore, cannot “objectively” be better than another. Well, those people are objectively wrong.
Yolk is a dream, the colour of fried eggs, American cheese, rich and oh-so-saturated fat. If you paint your front door yolk I will for some reason assume you and your partner to be really good parents and just totally down to earth. This is the colour that improves burgers and perfects chips, that separates kindly bumblebees from harsh yellow wasps. The colour of friendliness, summer, warmth. The Playdate, of course, is yolk – not yellow – and so in many ways it has already won me over.
As you might already know, the premise with the Playdate is a little different to your usual handheld console. For $179 (the UK price is still yet to be announced – although we now know you can pre-order it from 6pm BST on July 29th), you get the console itself and 24 games, released two per week for its first 12 week “season” from launch. For a bit more – most prices are again still pending – you can get a smart little cover for the console, or a very snazzy dock that allows the Playdate to look pretty on your desk, and also holds a pen and plays the Poolsuite FM radio station. And the Playdate itself, of course, has a crank.
