Updated: 2026-03-16 (UTC)

Playdate: 3‑year Catalog sale

Panic is running a sale across the Playdate Catalog to celebrate the handheld’s three‑year anniversary — a good chance to pick up indie titles on discount while the promotion is live. (Check details and individual game prices in the Catalog.)

Anthropic: Claude off‑peak usage doubled (Mar 13–27)

Anthropic is temporarily doubling Claude’s usage limits during off‑peak hours for a two‑week promotion running March 13–27. If you use Claude, off‑peak slots will let you run more queries during the promotion window.

Spotify: Taste Profile for finer recommendation control

At SXSW, Spotify announced Taste Profile, a feature that lets users customize what they want their algorithm to recommend — useful for subscribers who want to nudge discovery toward (or away from) specific genres, moods, or artists.

Key takeaways

  • Playdate’s Catalog anniversary sale is live — good time to buy indie games on discount.
  • Anthropic doubles Claude off‑peak usage limits from Mar 13 to Mar 27 — limited‑time increase in capacity.
  • Spotify’s Taste Profile gives subscribers more control over recommendation algorithms.
