Bought this modern Game Boy dev package on itch: https://itch.io/b/3637/handheld-heritage-bundle

Seemed like a good excuse to use the Analogue Pocket more, as well as support these projects.

Only played Kero Kero Cowboy a bit so far, which was a fun and familiar platformer.

This bundle is still available and discounted for the next couple of days.

The mystery around a cyberattack against Venezuela's state-run oil company last December deepens with the discovery this week of a "highly destructive" wiper that may have been used in the attack.
