@maffsie@queer.party yeahhhh that’s a really unknown one huh

@sophia@cybre.space it’s a good look! I appreciate the screen print colour too

@maffsie@queer.party who needs that

Please send me your Game Boy (either non-colour, or merely colour-enhanced) hidden gems 💎

what does this mean

Honestly the replacement screen bezels are way more disappointing?

Pictured, from top to bottom: Glass repro, plastic repo, plastic original.

What’s with the weight on that “O,” my dudes???

this is a relief because it might have turned out I bought the parts to backlight her for nothing!

(good news: she ain’t broken, it’s probably just a dirty power switch)

no really why is “adjustable DC power supply” not a common household object (it should be)

(seriously though I don’t seem to have access anything that outputs 3.0V)

tired: buying a fresh pair of AAA lithium cells
wired: shoving wires into a PlayStation controller port to tap its 3.3V±0.25V supply

The replacement shell seems to match up with the original in most important ways, but it’s clear from the weirdly shaped Nintendo logo that it’s an aftermarket clone. Will have to see how it sits with me!

Interestingly, the shell of the link port is corroded on the bit that faces the rear of the console. I suspect that’s a sign of where my fingers sat while playing it over the years!

My tri-wing screwdriver arrived so of course my game boy pocket is already open. Nothing seems obviously exploded/corroded/busted from a quick glance so I think I’ll try giving it a solid current source later and see what happens.

god I think I just need to get a bike again

@maffsie@queer.party ye

@maffsie@queer.party I’m looking at getting an Otterbox with a mermaid scale design but for some reason it was exclusive to a phone carrier in the USA???

Oh, hello old friend, it feels like it’s been years
