i've been working on this ags 101 mod to my gba for years... long story short, my old soldering iron was extremely bad, and none of the tutorials mentioned the potentiometer you need to adjust to get the colours looking proper, so i thought i irreversibly botched it
i took it out again to finish it since i decided to get myself an EZ-Flash omega DE

but after all this anticipation and hyping up how good the mod is, i expected it to be brighter, of course it's better than the default brightness of the vanilla screen, but i expected it to be brighter even with the wire... is it supposed to be somewhere between the brightness level of a DSI set to 3?
a quick google search led to a reddit post that says yes, but i'm double checking in case

(yes, the gba is missing it's redirection cone for the power LED, it's also missing the 2 plastic bumpers on the sides and the power switch, but that's because it's been in a drawer for like 2 years and they disappeared off somewhere)

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
