I'm sure I'll get a SW2 at some point. I'm a sucker for handhelds haha

👀 you might want to take a look at the next GB Studio Central Magazine! Maybe the robot on the cover looks familiar 🤩

#gameboy #gbstudio

yeeee, I still did not got to the point where I had the strong urge to get a SW2 😅

I only hope my 3060TI doesn't melt

YouTube video by Battlefield Battlefield 6 Official Multiplayer Gameplay Trailer

look... I don't like the gaming industry for all this micro transaction-, you don't own the game-, we release the game half-finished BS.

Buuuuuut I'm also a millennial grewing up listening to Limp Bizkit and playing Battlefield.... so ya ... 🤷‍♂️

like ... weakest of the weakest weak! ... my wallet actually needs protection or a bodyguard or something ... to protect it from ME! argh 😂

I'm so weak ...

as much as I want, even DK Bananza wasn't able to give me enough reason to buy a Switch 2 yet. So I doubled down on my Oled Switch 1 and ordered the Mobapad M6 HD :D

I have a ton of physical Switch 1 games, many of which I haven't even played. Plenty of fun still to be had for years to come!

Self Simulated Demo by 2nd Law Games Self Simulated is a fast-paced precision platformer for the Game Boy Color

thanks! You can play the demo here: 2ndlawgames.itch.io/selfsimulated or by the physical cartridge version here modretro.com/products/sel...

The digital version is scheduled for 2026 (Steam, rom on itch, probably gog)

Oh, I think you mean the whole thing. No that's an actual native Game Boy Color game I made, running in an emulator

it's really just a bit more than the bare minimum of an Electron app (in the state that I've shown)

Thanks! It was the closes one I had laying around when testing hahaha :D So I was just lazy xD

proof of principle <3

#gbstudio

First steps!
It's not bubble-wrap, but the same technique behind bubble-wrap. So a basic HTML app wrapped in an electron wrapper with controller support and whatnot.

I know a couple of them HTMLs and CSSs and JSs, so ya. Will build my own slick wrapper for the digital launch of Self Simulated <3

"For those who cannot commit 16-30 hours of their life for a single game." -> that's me!

@ihsansschatten.bsky.social aloha :) kannst du mir kurz deine e-mail verraten oder mir zurück folgen. Habe deine Hilfe beim Testen der frühen Version von Self Simulated natürlich nicht vergessen (und finde dich auf Twitter nicht mehr haha)

let's gooooooo!

Yes indeed LabFifteen :) They looked great! The glow in the dark ones also looked very nice.
Been playing Gadget Racers today... awww man.. such a good time

only waiting for my purple galaxy style buttons and d-pad <3

It's been a long journey.
Here's what Self Simulated looked like in its very early days.

#gameboy

Got myself a wrecked GBA and put in an IPS and USB C battery mod.
Soooo goood <3

Also... "How important is the original serial number of Game Boys to you" -> yes.

Over 2 billion people have a visual impairment, so accessibility by design is a great principle to incorporate into your projects! You'll broaden your audience AND be a better designer!
