Really gross how they use western values as a fig leaf of justification to drag Ukraine through a prolonged proxy war of attrition with an energy producer.

If you want straight a Gameboy FPGA device with no stress, I hear the FunnyPlaying devices are great. Obviously no sleep, state state, ROM, GbStudio or music-composing support, like the Pocket, but it does what it says on the box.

Hard to say. The device is actually really cool. Has a beautiful display and does deliver logic-gate-level replica quality (as opposed to software emulation). Analogue actually appears to be committed to long term support, unlike the other devices they have completely abandoned.
If you have logged hundreds of hours in a game you intend to play and know exactly how it should feel to play it, I would either skip it or be prepared to open it up or keep it on the dock for Bluetooth controllers.

2024-09-22 14:31:35

- reply

Yes, but I will say that this is going to require multiple rounds of opening up the Pocket to play with the Avery riser height and blue tack, which is NOT fun. Cardinal directions work fine now (Gameboy Tetris and Qix are good ways to test this), but the risers are probably too high, which makes diagonals really hard (Gauntlet and Street Fighter 2 Hadouken move are good ways to test diagonals)
Have all the ifixit tools or equivalent. Handheld Legend has all d-pad and membrane parts. No retailer has actual Blu-Tack anymore, so get it off amazon, along with the Avery coding dots. I used Locktite Fun Tack, and I think it might be too stiff. Buy a few cheap microfiber cloths to rest the screen face down on. An antistatic bag while the board is loose is probably a good idea.
The worst part is re-connecting the display to the mainboard. I still haven't figured out a good technique for this. I simply cannot do it with a tool, and have to use my thumb to feel where the connector should meet the board. Use a dry qtip or microfiber cloth to pick up any oil left on the connector area.

2024-09-22 01:13:15

I performed surgery to address the D-Pad awfulness of the Analogue Pocket. I went with a tasteful mint green Game Boy replica D-Pad and a NES replica membrane, plus some bespoke risers. Big improvement. Plays Tetris like a Game Boy should. https://image.nostr.build/6db3cae589b3405d007b7740df1c5a9379059a2fcf3660ce88d257759677e822.jpg .

Imagine having a logic-gate-logic-gate replica of a Gameboy, except the directional pad is basically a mushy, slap-dash mess comparable to shitty Chinese emulator handhelds. Imagine slapping Tetris, arguably THE QUINTESSENTIAL, UNIVERSALLY REGOGNIZED GAMEBOY GAME into this absolutely beautiful unit; the sound is perfect. the graphics are a tribute to a legendary console. but this motherfucker can't drop blocks without screwing up diagonal detection.

Just fixed my DMG-01. The LCD board was starting to wear from corrosion, and holding the unit tightly was causing a short. This baby is original. My parents hated video games; refused to entertain the idea of vidya for Christmas or Birthdays. So I worked my 12yo ass off at chores, biked my ass up to the local department store, laid down the cash, and got a motherfucking Gameboy. My parents gave me an extreme amount of autonomy (by default, bc they were too busy fucking up their lives), so they shrugged when they confirmed I didn't steal it. This little bastige has reminded me for decades that I am the only person standing in my way.

Yes, however, self-custody makes it extremely difficult before the 60 days. It led to a whole bunch of questions, the answers to which made them nervous. Examples:
"Can you have bitcoin generate an annual 1040 for our records?"
"Can you take a screenshot of bitcoin to show us that you are the registered owner of the account?"
If these were stock sales, these requests for info are easily answered.
My advice? Wait the 60 days, and regardless of that, don't mention "bitcoin" until they start asking for details. If you don't wait the 60 days, get ready to dox the most straight-forward view of your wallet, which will be the balance and transaction history. Because they will go cross-eyed when you start talking about blockchain explorers.

Oh yeah, I had to provide all that too. What I just fond absolutely wacky is how there is some sixty day time window that "ages" funds to the point that you don't have to explain anything about their provenance. I would definitely tell those looking to buy a house with bitcoin funds to:
1) Don't think you can just go swing your bitcoiner schlong around the real estate market, before "aging" those funds as dollars in a bank account for two months
2) Get an institution that does in-house portfolio loans, meaning they approve, process, underwrite, and service the loan IN-HOUSE (as opposed to those that turn around and sell your loan to another bank or farm underwriting out). Their approval amdunderwriting process are a lot more flexible.
3) Do not refer to your proceeds of bitcoin as "bitcoin" trades or sales. Just say you sold assets and let them ask for more information if they need it. It's been 15 years and these people still bristle at the mention of crypto. This will cause them to ask a lot of nonsense questions (even before processing) and they won't even understand your answers anyways. Talking about bitcoin until you absolutely need to just unnecessarily confuses the process.

Honestly, between having to dox my wallet rather hard and going to closing with just the April proceeds, I prefer the latter. Then I can just re-cast the loan once the June proceeds are magically aged. First month mortgage payment is rather steep, but my privacy is preserved.

2024-07-22 20:28:39

To give you an update of what a farce the real estate mortgage underwriting process is:
I have dollars in my bank account that are proceeds from selling bitcoin in April. These funds are magically aged to the satisfaction of the underwriting department. These funds are blessed.
I have dollars in my bank account that are proceeds from selling bitcoin in June. These funds are too new to consider magically aged, so they will need additional provenance. I will have to painstakingly show how long they were in a self-custodial wallet before they moved to an exchange. I will have to use diagrams, paragraphs of text and finger puppets to show how the transactions are related to the Kraken deposits. Because the funds did not magically age by 60 total days in the bank.
I am dumber for having learned this.
