Lego really knocked it out of the park with the Lego Gameboy. It’s such a faithful recreation of the classic DMG. Love it!

Committed a cardinal sin of modding: screw too long 😅🥲 I was psyched for this new GBA SP shell. Maybe a little too hyped. Punched a screw right through the middle of the main body. It kinda blends in, right? Maybe it just needs a sticker? 🤣 I’ve reshelled many GBs and this was my first big oopsy 🤣

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025) was nearly a walk-out for me. All the characters were dumb as posts, the writing was full of holes, bad guy was predictable… definitely not helping to bolster the original slasher style. 🪝

A new game frin @jeltron.bsky.social has just dropped! I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours. 🕹️ benjelter.itch.io/first-contac...

I added this red LED power indicator light to my cheap Weller soldering iron today. The iron doesn’t come with a backlit LCD or any other indicator that the unit is on, so I’m constantly forgetting to turn it off. Well, not any more! (I hope)

Did you know that Super Famicom controller cables are less than 1 meter (3’) long? But not this one! Extended the cable to 3m (9’) and wrapped it in leftover paracord. Overall happy with how it looks and ecstatic that I can sit further away from my SFC. #SFC #SNES #nintendo

Swapped out that lame plastic coating on my Gamecube controller cable for a purple-patterned paracord. Perfect! #gamecube #retro

You know, it's kinda funny that WordPress VIP hosting doesn't use the same `wp-content` convention that the open-source product uses. They abstract it all away. Maybe it's not the best approach after all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Picked up working on demoscene animations for the DCPixel while my PC was on the fritz. This is a simple attempt at the classic “fire effect” … on an 8x8 pixel display 🤣 The low resolution means you really have to use your imagination to see the “fire” but it’s a start haha. #gameboy #gameboymods

Sakurai's "Creating Games" tutorial videos earn him an accolade from the Japanese government http://gonintendo.com/contents/45968-sakurai-s-creating-games-tutorial-videos-earn-him-an-accolade-from-the-japanese #nes

Earlier this month I got to thank Scott Kirkland from The Crystal Method for all the incredible music he and Ken produced during my formative years. He was super kind and really friendly to speak with. He even had special shirts printed for the Canadian tour. What a rockstar!

This quote from EarthBound just doesn't get old. #EarthBound #MOTHER2

My Game Boy Slideshow ROM Generator is now available at there.oughta.be/a/game-boy-s... #gameboy #retrogaming

My Gameboy Pocket Color boots! It might look like it’s on life support, but I’m super excited that the screen works! (…now that I have the correct screen kit, oops 😅) Now to wrap this up into a new shell. I think I have a clear shell that would do nicely. #gameboy #gameboymods #electronics

My Game Boy slideshow generator is almost complete. Just drag and drop some images into it and download a ROM for your Game Boys without installing anything. It runs locally in any modern browser. Give me a few days to wrap it up and make a little YT video. #gameboy #retrogaming

My Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow/Green multicart finally got a custom label! This cart from BucketMouse has a neat feature to share save files between games so you can really collect ‘em all in a single save. #gameboy #pokemon #gameboymods

It turns on!!! Okay… it may look like it’s on life support, but it’s so satisfying to hear that “ding!” after troubleshooting for a few hours.

Just got tickets to see DJ sets by Phil Hartnoll (Orbital) and Scott Kirkland (Crystal Method) in Feb 2025. Teenage me would be mind blown! Current me is mind blown!

Canadian kids of the 90s, check out this YouTube channel Shinken004. He reviews old YTV shows and the nostalgia hits real good 📺 youtu.be/8g74oI3ELWk?... #canada #ytv #90s

GB Printer. Definitely not the most useful printer in the world, but might be the most fun! #gameboy #gameboycamera #gameboyprinter

The Machine is my favourite indie Gameboy game, created by the talented @jeltron.bsky.social. This game cart still needs a board 😆 but I love the custom holo label. The artwork is fantastic. I’ll build the board once I find a donor MBC5 chip #gameboy #gbhomebrew

Wario Land GBC label from @nextstopplease.bsky.social Their labels are always so detailed and look & feel very high quality. I even managed to affix the label to the center of shell! (for once) #gameboy #retro

@nextstopplease.bsky.social thanks for shipping courier! I haven’t got a package in weeks and opening your stickers / labels was a joy. Haha!

Clear shell DMG spray painted “ocean mist”. Inside is an IPS LCD screen which supports TV out, a new power amp, audio amp, probably other junk! It’s been fun to work on and I’m really happy with the pink buttons on green shell. The colours even match the horizontal lines on the screen lens!

Ever played Tetris on a chicken nugget?

The Kickstarter page for my Game Boy Color game "Kero Kero Cowboy" is LIVE! 🐸🤠 Help me bring this game to life while also getting some sweet rewards! kck.st/4fHvWUA #gameboy #gbstudio #kickstarter #retro

And this, gentlefolk, is why we block Trumpists on sight.

Did you know the University of Victoria’s Transgender archives are the largest such archives in the world, and they’re being fully digitized? Dig in, nerds.

Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons Multicart. The label came out so good! The board is BucketMouse MBC5 Multicart and was quick to assemble once I could find all the parts. #gameboy #zelda
