This CircuitMess Gaming Bundle is a great way to jumpstart some sweet projects. This bundle includes two parts: ByteBoi, a do-it-yourself gaming console, and CircuitPet, a pocket pet to take care of just like you would find in the late 20th century (that’s the 1990s, we just didn’t want to make millennials feel old and angry ).
ByteBoi is a great way to get the sweet relief you need from a long day at the office.

You’ll spend more time trying to keep that bugger alive than your regular, aforementioned children (we’re just kidding, please don’t let your kids do stupid crap ).
