anyway fuck cryptocurrencies and if you mine them go to hell

i'm not trying to make a point or a big revelation here i'm just angry at the world

might be far-fetched but i can sort of see parallels between bitcoin & the rise of far-right authoritarianism in world leaderships w/ how at the beginning we all dismissed as "a joke" or "incomprehensible" until it's too late & suddenly anti-lgbt laws are being passed everywhere

blockchain believers are either delusional cultists or con artists looking to make a quick buck on the death of our planet

you should probably block @tokenizedtweets@twitter.com so it can't scrape your tweets for cryptobullshit

crypto{currency, art, etc} is a pyramid scheme scam accelerating climate change for literally no reason and if you actively contribute to that kindly block me and fuck off

realizing i solved the problem of breaking earbuds in the washing machine by transitioning and therefore no longer having pants with pockets

suddenly dawning on me how nintendo coasted for 9 years on a black and white handheld only to then release a very marginal update to it that only added color and literally nothing else to the point it's entirely backwards compatible, then took 3 years to put out the 32bit gba

never change, zophar's domain

me the sega card

oh my god okay thank goodness

i couldn't find anything wrong but i reflowed solder to the vdp, cleaned up the board and better insulated all my work

it's not dead!

best care scenario, power delivery or clock issues

worst case scenario, the VDP or the CPU (or both) are dead

i can't check any without an oscilloscope

turned it on the next day and it appears dead.. sometimes there's garbage on the screen and a constant tone

don't think i can repair with without a second master system for parts

i got so excited about it too.. but looks like yesterday just everything decided to break around me

heeeeeyyyy, read up a bit more on video signals and made a resistor replacement, now the video is perfect!

the OSD is now at around the same level, whereas before it was much darker compared to the sms signal

this is really frustrating. i can't get a new battery without importing from china (which, good luck importing lithium batteries) and buying a used tablet let alone a new one in my country is dumb expensive that i can't justify it
