I am definitely already tired of the attempts at encouragement/affirmations like

look fuckos I get that you're trying to be nice, but for a large portion of us,

we're going to get through this on pure spite and Dadaist nihilistic vibes

In fact these are often pretty good at motivating resistance!

okay so some of you might have seen that Palmer Luckey has launched his own Gameboy clone, an FPGA console called the ModRetro Chromatic. you may remember another FPGA Gameboy, the Analogue Pocket, a console i own and greatly enjoy and endorse.

for those who dont know, Palmer Luckey (in increasing badness):

• at one point worked for Facebook
• donates vast sums of money to Trump
• founded Anduril, a war drone company

that alone should be reason enough to never touch this thing.

unfortunately, the thing also includes an officially licensed Tetris game. so i wanted to provide some alternatives to people who were interested in playing a "modern" tetris on a portable device. dont even pirate the rom of it, play these instead.

• first off, you dont need an FPGA like this or the Analogue Pocket, you can get a comfy emulator device for a sixth of the cost that supports more consoles. dont spend money you dont have.
• the best gameboy tetris is the homebrew clone Apotris. it is by far the most extensive in feature set and i play it daily. i dont care for the default visual settings but the customization is incredible. https://akouzoukos.com/apotris
• if you have a soft spot for the old gameboy tetris of yore, theres Rosy Retrospection, a mod that brings several modern conveniences while keeping the original spirit. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/
• it also has a color version. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8259/

please do not give this monster money, and do not give his tetris the time of day. fan projects deserve your attention more than a warmonger's vanity project.

Feels weird to news here, but we just released a demo for the game I've been working on for 6.5 years, so news I must:
