Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it’s very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

Good stuff, read about this in 50 Years of Text Games, will be nice to check this out

I’ve been playing it on mobile for months

Eh call me when they make a new Gun Nac

I made a track for my game, yeah, but using UGEtracker which is built into GB Studio. It’s not the easiest to use tbh so it wasn’t that fun.

LSDJ sounds very cool, have you checked out the DirtyWave M8? I ran the cheap version (Anbernic console with a dongle) but I couldn’t get over the learning curve. Now I have a Polyend Tracker Mini which I really like

BTW I’m not really a programmer either, GB Studio simplifies things a lot and it’s free if you want to check it out

Make Gameboy games. Make music. Cook

I’ve been enjoying Kagi, although it also proxies google and others, and you have to pay for it, and I was dismayed to read on Lemmy recently that the CEO may be a sea lion. So yeah, the search for good search continues I suppose

I was pleasantly surpsied by how much audio has improved on Linux when I came back to it this year with Ubuntu studio. Reaper or Bitwig are the way to go. Plugins are the main problem, bridging works OK apparently, but there are some decent native options too

Yeah, you don’t even have to jailbreak it, you can just install it alongside the kobo software, then you can keep both. It’s a bit fiddly to set up but not too bad https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

Koreader is available from the Play store if you have an android phone, you can try it out first. Its very customisable, I spend hours tweaking the settings because that’s my idea of fun 😂

I’ve got a Hisense A5 and reading is surprisingly nice on it. Although this looks even smaller?

Also regarding the overall idea - just get a Kobo and put Koreader on it, then sideload any book format you like.

Hmm worrying. I switched to Fastmail too and use a lot of their ‘masked emails’. No problems so far, touch wood

I love gaming on the go so I’ll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it’s own right

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It’s fairly forgiving but I still haven’t beaten it!

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I’d love a Pocket

So is this pretty much an Analogue Pocket with a less good screen?

Yes! I tried a couple for Linux and they were shite 😂

To answer the ‘just use the browser’ comments - I don’t like the tiny image box for posts. I’d like a much larger display for image/video-based posts so I can enjoy them at a glance. I’ll only click into them if I especially want to read or post comments

Also Renoise (also not FOSS,. but good)

Yeah I’ve been too lazy to install a custom ROM. I do use a different launcher (KISS) and am pretty happy with the phone overall. I do get the odd random crash, and the memory management is a bit aggressive
