turns out it's covid. awesome

oh good looks like I'm getting sick. I love that for me

jeez, I'm looking to see the availability of parallel flash memory chips and it is SLIM PICKINGS! wow

I spent a bunch of time trying to make business cards. I think I have it all designed and aligned and stuff. I can just print a pdf double sided and cut them in my cricut I don't have anyone to give business cards to though. They have my phone number on them, why would I give anyone that?

I kinda want to get into streaming because I want an excuse to play around with OBS

I'm trying to figure out narratives so I made a short story thing about getting started making Game Boy games youtube.com/shorts/h2bP9... Is it perfect? no Is it a good try? sure did I finish something? yup!

I'm pretty sore today. In other news I made this silly video yesterday

some how I finished editing another video! hope you enjoy! what genre was your first game? #gbstudio #indiegamedev #gamedev youtu.be/TyGJlLaxF64

I use a canon r50 for my filming and it's usually in a cage (metal enclosure to give more mounting options). I took it out today and it reminded me how delightfully small it is.

One of these days I'm going to convince myself that it'll be ok if I put off preparing my kids' school lunch till the morning and it will not be ok. It will be terrible

MORE GAMES! also, it was awesome to find someone doing a video similar to what I make. I love to see how someone else approaches the topics

Thanks for all the love on my new video! It's already exceeded my expectations! Should I make more? This one took me two months of tinkering #indiegamedev #gameboy #gbstudio

Hey cool! This video has gotten over 1k views in its first 10 hours. I think that's the first time one of my videos broke 1k in the first day

Make me some more #gameboy games! I'll even help you get started youtu.be/Mls4oIS2Rbw

you know, I'm something of vfx artist myself

I spent a bunch of time getting this juuuuust right. It's the ending of a video I'm working on. Since it's at the very end it'll probably be seen by like 20% of viewers I was working on it instead of doing the more impactful but super boring task of going through the video to add visuals and b-roll

More playing with editing and trying to make an interesting sequence of shots might use it for some video with a voice over maybe

I'm being motivational

apparently 2 days ago my video introducing GB Studio (youtu.be/iiJLRNQgjNk) had an RPM (how much money I make per 1000 views) was CA$132. If only it had more than 9 views that day... 😛 A buck 20 ain't bad though!

I swear, you could teach an entire graduate level compilers / static-analysis class just about the game boy

I wrote up a post going over some of my youtube channel's analytics. Figured it could be helpful for other small youtube channels. www.systemoflevers.com/blog/2026/01...

Well I didn't get unreasonably lucky, the new broken camera didn't turn out to be working. I did get a little lucky though. The camera had a 256GB sd card in it. It's pretty slow, 50MB/s. But still, it's value more than makes up for the shipping cost!

I posted my 2026 plans to my kofi and patreon supporters ko-fi.com/post/2026-Pl... www.patreon.com/posts/2026-p... The summary is: - I'm hopping to post videos more often - I have a few videos in the works - I'm hoping to get to some old projects/ideas gotta pay me for more deets 💰

Well, I bought a broken one off ebay... who needs to make good decisions It doesn't power on, so hopefully it has the same problem mine had. It was a common fault apparently, so good chance.

Well this isn't a great start to 2026... At least it's within the 90 purchase insurance for my credit card

New year's breakfast from a selectively lazy father

Put fresh sheets on the bed and cleaned my bathroom so that 2026 starts off nice

i made a visual novel for #veloxturbo3 ⤵ ⌛The Servers Are Shutting Down in 24 Hours but My Pull Rate's Been Set to 0.0001%?!🔮 a gacha game end-of-service simulation from the perspective of the gacha. 🎮 npckc.itch.io/server-shutd...

Heh, this video doesn't have very good retention 😝

I DID make a new 10 hour fireplace video! youtu.be/GgV1-JiTVI0 Got to fix a few things in my video playing game boy code and added a feature that lets you specify how many times video should loop when building the ROM, fading to black at the start of the next loop.

I might get another fireplace video of this year. I didn't get around to it last year

Here's the GameBoy assembly crash course I promised in my last video: youtu.be/NSvGwmYPhAQ I forgot to mention it in the video but I have a version of the assembly code with detailed comments: systemoflevers.com/misc/gameboy...

My colorization patch for #tinytoon adventures DX on #gameboycolor is finally out! (download link in the trailer description) Very much thanks to all for your patience, and a big kudos to @mcconnell.bsky.social , for narrating the thing with all his heart! 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yx-...

Wow, turns out trying to "steal line an artist" can really show you the current limits of your creativity

Oh no! I just realized I never finished the script for the 5th part of my game boy graphics video! How did I forget that...

Well I got the right chip up but I managed to rip off a pad AND lose a tiny resistor. So much for my cheap fix for my old camera

it took a lot of patience but after a while I finally managed to get half of the wrong chip desoldered and up... good thing I doubled checked before getting all the way desoldered the right chip looked easier but it's in way tighter quarters. My chunky soldering tip might not be up to the task

You should learn to program in #GameBoy assembly! Do it! youtu.be/_SHaveLOt0M (sorry about the clickbaity thumbnail)

The fusion page in DaVinci Resolve is dangerous. You can do so much that I just spend all my time figuring out how to do every silly idea I have This is a node that masks the input to only show the area in the window and it lets you resize the window without scaling

Well that's rude

it's really annoying when a product is marked as "less sugar" or something and it turns out the just replaced the sugar with a non-sugar sweetener I don't want the flavour of those sweeteners I just want less sugar. I'm ok with it being less sweet

My grocery store hasn't had sliced dill sandwich pickles for a while, only sweet ones. So here I am slicing my own pickles like some kind of prehistoric nomad

I spent way too long making something to let me get video that looks like it's looking up through my keyboard. I also made it smaller than life sized by accident. Oh well, seems to work well enough!

I made this bracket so that it's marginally easier to mount and unmount my camera and I'm only slightly very afraid it will fall apart dropping my camera to the floor

oh my god this script is getting so long. I don't know why I thought it would be quick to explain. Maybe I'll record it in two sittings to avoid being completely monotone by the end

I tend to forget what endian the game boy is and also what the two endians even mean. So today I googled to see if the game boy is big endian (it's not, it's little endian) and I was met with my own video as a reference! That's neat! Could very well be a personalized result, but still neat!

I went for a short bit picture taking this morning to maybe get some creative juices going. Here are some snaps
