i'm actually not at all happy with all the people i've caught passing off #webgbcam pictures as real #gameboycamera pictures. i think i built a really cool app that can simulate the original thing but i don't like being disingenuous about it. it is a camera filter, and doesn't capture images the same way the original CMOS does, and i don't think anyone should be misleading about that
@mavica_again no yeah that sucks, i boosted the original but it didn't even occur to me people were doing that
misrepresentation for the sake of Engagement always rubs me up the wrong way
@lion tbh i'm thinking the same tells that make it seem like it could've been webgbcam are the same that mean it could be a gbcam save in gbcamtool (which i also made) so i feel my reply might've been overly snarky
but either way idk a message of hey thanks for making this tool would be nice, i mean you got over 300 reblogs on mastodon, throw me a bone
almost nobody i've seen use webgbcam (crediting it, so i know they actually used it) actually messaged me
making thnigs online is lonely
that, and, i wish people would actually use the #webgbcam tag because then i could see that something i built is being used and enjoyed by people since direct feedback to me is so rare
