game boy color repair/mod 

with apologies to ranjit (who wanted me to use the original translucent case), i decided to put the formerly corroded board into the fancy boxy pixel shell with the fancy backlit aftermarket screen. doing the custom case install was easy breezy compared to the work i did repairing the board. this thing is incredibly luxurious and i love it and i love knowing that i put so much work into it! just a really fun and satisfying project all around!

So, looking into it, I could make a low-latency DPI-to-composite/svideo adapter for the Raspberry Pi, or I could just get a cheap HDMI to AV adapter.

I feel like I should at least try to do the former for the sake of people who want that but an evaluation board would cost $135 and I don't have that kind of money sitting around :blobcatthink:

Virtual tour went pretty well! They are interested in a followup on Saturday in person and then we can really hash things out

Seems like the in-person tour scheduled today is a no-show, however, but I can't complain

I nerdsniped myself and I'm not proud of it, today is gonna suck =_=

Me: I need to get up early to get ready to do more apartment viewings
Also me: ooooh digital RGB to YC encoder chips, maybe I can make the RPi 400 be an amiga after all-- wait oh 🕐 :blobcateyes:

ph- housing 

exhausted, the heat and humidity is making me sweat buckets, and the anxiety is contributing to it. gotten a lot of inquiries today on the apartment and the viewing was... confusing

Housing anxiety, trying to reassure myself 

Someone's touring the place tomorrow hhhh anxious trans noises

That said they're a thai expat so like they're high up on the list of people I'd trust to understand my situation

Here's hoping in any case

anyway RT this so people can find me, I deactivated my account on cybre.space years ago because political doom and gloom news was messing with my mental health. But! I'm back on the fediverse again.
