ok new gamedev idea: etch-a-sketch for the steam deck. you gotta rotate the thumbsticks to move the thing up and down and left and right, and it uses the gyro and shaking the console to clear it

Hanging out with a 3yo this weekend and he taught me a game he had invented on his etch-a-sketch:
We'd draw things he didn't like, draw an explosion effect around it, and then disappear it while we both yelled "kaboom!"
It was too much fun & very therapeutic, so here you go.

Last piece is still in your heart my friend…We are our own etch-a-sketch, and he is still ingrained in you. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

@bsky.app At the suggestion of Monica Drake, who is organizing a local writers' chap book swap, I collected a few of previously published flash pieces, and some original Etch A Sketch art in a wee, full-color paperback and Kindle book on Amazon. Check it out: www.amazon.com/dp/B0G73G59T...

Q: What's the difference between a Mac and an Etch-a-Sketch? A: You don't have to shake the Mac to clear the screen.

Your steps will become light.
The sun will shine brighter.
It’s not Etch A Sketch, it’s dancing.
And you’re writing the music.

Learned a few years back that I'm bizarrely good at Etch-a-Sketch and the most common response is asking how I might monetize it. Disregarding that you cannot sell one without considerable effort (taking the thing apart, magnets, etc), it's so wonderful to only be able to do a thing for its own sake

The best gift to open, way back in the day,
Was an Etch A Sketch waiting to get opened and play.
Two little knobs and a world in your hands
Pure imagination with no rules and no plans.
You twisted and scribbled and made art on the fly
Then shook it to let your creativity soar to the sky.

Might be my last Facebook post... at least until I hit the road on my travels next year. I'm setting the stage to shake the Etch A Sketch of my life in preparation for my next act. And that means purging anyone from my life who's brought me more pain than joy.

People seem to have a real aversion to AI-generated art. But I can't see how it differs to creating images on an Etch A Sketch.

Scrotums in other people's underwear: normal. Scrotums on my forehead while I'm sleeping: abnormal. Also, my scrotum in particular: abnormal. It looks like it was drawn on an Etch-a-Sketch. It's more of a cube than a ball. Like Picasso designed it.

Maybe it’s an Etch-A-Sketch work of art!
Turning it over to tape on the bottom would’ve ruined it.

My grandad used to save me the Broons from the Sunday Post each week. Liked Giles cartoons, too. Loved etch-a-sketch , but seems a bit primitive now, particularly yours, if only one know was working! ! x

I had the record player, the chocolate dispenser, Etch-a-Sketch, the slide projector (Sliderama?) (only just got rid of), Fuzzy Felt, Rubik's cube and that encyclopedia.
Also related to the photo, I still have an Orinoco glove puppet and a set of Muppets' Corgi cars 💕

Only the Etch a sketch, which was useless as only one knob worked so all I could make was one vertical line.
Broons and Giles annuals were my ultra favourites.
