Newton's Dark Room
The tale of a community’s attempt to build their beloved console on r/place amidst rogue Swedish operatives, robotic legions, and one tragic Bandanna Dee.

Complete with interviews from those involved, Playplace is a thorough and emotional look at what it means to band together as a community and fight for your goals, no matter how bad the odds are.
What happens when space is limited and you have to make a choice: Destroy another’s art or let your own fade away. What would you choose?
