Shout out to the GameBoy which turned 35 today, my eternal comfort item which has simultaneously wasted so many hours of my life while providing tremendous joy and emotional and energy regulation. So maybe not a total waste? #GameBoy#retrogaming#ActuallyAutistic#ActuallyADHD
My #GameBoy Day post earlier motivated me to organize my collection a bit. My favorite thing about #retrogaming is the community — in this picture I see the #DMG#ProSoundMod from an #LSDJ#chiptune workshop that Nikola Whallen gave at @AHA, a game prototype that Cat Graffam sent me at @makemagazine, and a cartridge holder that my @rebble pal PotatoFi designed! 🎮👪✨
This is a demake of Geometry Wars, which is a twin stick shooter - you may have noticed that the Gameboy does not have twin sticks. ➕ 🔴🔴
But I have some ideas for that to try out, either before or after I make the first enemies. I'm starting to get the hang of the hardware and thinking in assembly now, and I have more reusable functions. Progress!
