I made a website that tracks prices of Nintendo Switch games (and hardware) and sends notifications when things you want go on sale: dekudeals.com

@rathboma @AnthropicAI Video seems to be private

@AnthropicAI We just launched our SQL AI Shell beta (featuring Claude) for Beekeeper Studio, hope yall have time to check it out :-) youtu.be/WD-rhPKKggg

Excited to share a sneak peek of what I've been heads down on for the past few months

@ejames_c What software is this?

Prepping for my wbr on a delayed flight.

@jesse8bit @Nintendeal Uncancelable attack animations. You can't just run up to an enemy and smash the attack button and expect that to work. Limited healing. And hard to tell just from a brief demo, but probably much less "going to towns and talking to people" than Zelda.

@jesse8bit @Nintendeal It definitely looks and plays just like a top-down Zelda game, but a lot of the combat and supporting mechanics are share a lot with Dark Souls, Hollow Kight, etc: Only saving at limited savepoints. All enemies respawn when you save. You drop all currency when you die.

The team wrote some words about a handful of the games we played at PAX West this year: dekudeals.com/articles/pax-w… Tagging all the incredible developers 👇 Super Mario Bros. Wonder / @Nintendo lol Rift of the Necrodancer / @NecroDancerGame ANIMAL WELL / @BIGMODEgames @Animal_Well Cobalt Core / @BYG_Vancouver @CobaltCoreGame 30XX / @batterystaple_g Demonschool / @necrosoftgames @YsbrydGames Arco / @panic @ArcoGameDev Mina the Hollower / @YachtClubGames GigaBash / @GigaBashGame Beastieball / @beastieball Thank Goodness You're Here! / @panic @coalsupper

Welcome to episode 2 of The Influencer Café! This month I chatted with @michaelfairley, creator of @dekudeals. We had a blast discussing Michael's history as a software engineer, Deku Deals as a project, and more! youtu.be/cIPVOqWh1sY Find it on YouTube and podcast platforms!

@Nintendeal Intern approved?

@chrisbrandrick Can confirm 🙂

This post I put together for the Steam sale has over 30,000 views now... folks sure love a bargain 😅

@chrisbrandrick SUPER 64 MARIO

good post day… a beautiful boxed copy of the GOAT. 😍

@tikotzky @tomdale @Cloudflare Can you link me to some info on this? I think I saw this behavior on my site but haven't been able to confirm that it was CF's issue

@tomdale This is likely @Cloudflare fault. They were incorrectly caching responses including cookies for a short while this afternoon.

Clicked a link from a Bed Bath & Beyond email and it seems to have logged me in as a woman named Rosemary from New Hyde Park with a Cuisinart air fryer in her shopping cart. Seems good, session management is hard.

@cliophate Tweetbot. Mute keywords for things I definitely don’t care about. “Turn off retweets” for people who retweet too much low-signal stuff. Heavy use of Tweetbot’s “Read later” feature to send long-form things to a separate queue to catch up on.

@katelynjperry @davidcrespo He bought x.com (the domain) back from PayPal a few years ago: x.com/elonmusk/statu…

this, but it's about both musk and all of us

@chrisbrandrick I love the dedication! All 300 of these have been worth reading

Here’s the 300th(!) issue of my weekly Nintendo digest. ⤵️

@CardPointers Is there a way to record a product change in the app?

@anaoeeva Some day! Probably not super soon though :-/ I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the site!

@michaelfairley Hi Michael, absolutely love Deku deals! Are you planning on developing an app eventually, or not really? Just curious. Thanks!

Tough choice

@musha68k Hey, thanks for the Deku Deals shoutout in that HN thread. Totally made my day!

@davidcrespo Strangeloop legit did this exact thing one year I attended

let’s not pretend normal tech conferences are much better
