I love this idea, what a great way to raise money
- Comment on There's a new Rayman physical cart for GBC thanks to Ubisoft and Modretro, and it comes with new music 1 week ago:
Yeah, kinda surprising, right, that they actually teamed up with Modretro, a company that actually cares about its customers. It’s a strange pairing, but I’m glad it’s happening. More Ubisoft titles are coming from Modretro.

I had the GBA game back in the day. The GBC game is better, and was released very late in the console’s life, the GBA was actually out when this GBC game launched. Basically the GBC game is one of the best platformers on the console, much like Wayforward’s titles late in the GBC’s life.

So apparent nobody actually pronounces it like that. All things written on the internet are fact, clearly.

Supose beggars can’t be choosers, looking for screens that small. Think the pinout was more important.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Literally got a full screen pop up in the middle of work reminding me, that I, in fact, can’t upgrade to Windows 11. Like no shit, I turned TPM off for that very reason. You’d think Microsoft would expect me to know at this point as this was the upteenth reminder hijacking my entire screen. I’m sure I’ll get more of them.

Same, I feel ya, and like I said, can’t blame ya. It’s a real shitshow out there, hard to tell what is real anymore and what’s bots.

Jumping for sure. Sucks everyone is so paranoid these days. Everything on the site is written and edited by humans, and I wrote this post on Lemmy.
From what I can tell some key giveaways are excessive use of emdashes and emoji in lists. LinkedIn is a perfect example of everyone using AI.
But yeah, I created my site in retaliation to all the slop out there, as I’m just as sick of it as everyone else, maybe moreso because it’s destroying the field I work in while decimating the careers of many friends.

Oh for sure. Heck, I have all 3 black Analogue Pockets, and a couple colors of the Chromatic too. I love me some dedicated hardware. But the modded Game Boys just aren’t cutting it with their buzzing sound, I want perfected dedicated hardware with backlit screens.

You just named a bunch of things that don’t actually exist in one package that fits in my hand. Gimme a call when it does

The outcome isn’t the same; FPGA devices can read the physical carts. And if the core is made well, it can be indistinguishable from OG hardware, though it’s not like we don’t have some good emus out there as well. For me, it’s like asking why anyone buys imported beer when Coors exists. Sometimes I want something that’s made to be a higher grade, and FPGA devices tend to be on the higher end. I’m a collector of games and devices, and the last thing I’m looking for is yet another cheap emulation device. Those are a dime a dozen that market is served.

It’s all about the screen ratio. The Pocket is 10:9, same as the original Game Boy. This way all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games perfectly fit the screen. The Pocket can play GBA, sure, but GBA was 3:2, so it’s heavily letterboxed on the Pocket. The Game Bub is a 3:2 screen, while using similar underlying tech of FPGA. Basically, the Game Bub is the right landscape layout and right screen ratio to best play GBA games.

Were it a shithead company like Ubisoft running a crowdfunding campaign, I would heartily agree. But using crowd sourcing for its intended purpose, I’d say it’s less so. Not everyone can just go out and get a loan for $100K to manufacture an open-source handheld. No bank is signing up for that. Really, I’d be a lot more skeptical if they didn’t already have a manu lined up. Sure, crowdsourcing can be risky to back, but I’ve also bought all kinds of stuff off the shelf that was absolute junk at the end of the day. Purchasing things comes with risks, some more than others. You just gotta weigh if the purchase is a risk you’re willing to take.
