I sold off a bunch of older games and am considering what to use the proceeds for. Obviously I'm not going to do something responsible with it. Deciding between:
#GameBoyLight: Always wanted one. I actually use my GBC next to a lamp all the time, so I would actually use this; not just some weird display thing!
#3DS or #3DSXL: The kids have beat up the 2DS to the point of gore, so this would replace it (for me, not them--they can keep the toot-DS as they call it)
#PlayDate: I'm probably the audience for this; the games on it are my kind of thing, no backlight is a selling point, and flipping through the dev docs, this looks like a great platform to work with. I'm hesitant due to the price and the seeming fragility of the hardware though. There's also probably more productive dev-related stuff I could be doing. (I set up the SDK and simulator months ago but haven't really touched it since). It's also cute but pricey.
hyperfocus is one hell of a drug. too bad it's an uncontrolled substance.
you get a custom border for the elusive #GameBoyLight when you set emulation to Pocket and the monochrome palette to Teal. 💡
(totally missed this because you need to reboot the game for it to take effect and the palette is very low contrast so I never use it)
