Jesse Doherty

Hello I'm Jesse! I make youtube videos mostly about GameBoys www.youtube.com/@systemoflev... Some of the videos are deep dives into how the GameBoy works; like my recent series on memory www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... or my ongoin series on graphics www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Respect for streamers I just spent 30 minutes filming 15 seconds of me pretending to stream

If you want to be frugal with birthday candles you can just buy a 1 and a 0 and just change the base every year

I do not have good luck repairing cameras. I was replacing the screen on my old canon t2i. The new screen just powers up the backlight w/ no image Is the new screen a dud? should I try another one? who knows

Would today (September 30th) be October -1 (negative 1) or October 0?

"assume good intent" doesn't have to be a free pass for shitheads. It could easily be a condemnation. Someone does something shitty, like constantly deadnaming someone Assume good intent So they thought it was "good" to deadname them So they're an anti-trans asshole Their version of "good" is shit

Did you know you can use camera gear for other purposes? A magic arm and clamp make a pretty good pcb holder

my 8 year old was playing my old copy of pokemon emerald. Then my partner calls me in and asks if she's playing the gameboy advance pokemon because she just saw a reel about how they're worth a couple hundred $ so yeah, I did not know that

It's actually doing something similar to working! The shift register's power pin wasn't soldered right so the LEDs weren't lighting up. The pattern is wrong and the button and switches don't work properly though, so still work to do!

cool, I managed to brick a pi4 2GB while setting up batocera Not batocera's fault. Not sure what happened I was getting 5v on the 3.3v pin so something was wrong. Now I have a short from 3.3 to gnd... sooo not so good. I have others, but it's not like they grow on trees

I tried some hot plate soldering for the first time. It went well enough for a first try, lots of solder bridges though! I was placing the paste by hand though and I got a bit sloppy I guess

My oldest kid wants a capybara bubble tea themed birthday party so I came up with this as an invitation design. So far I'm pretty happy with it!

I think I've nearly perfected this VFX sequence that I've been using for video outros in this latest video. I'm pretty happy with the tile-based transition to GameBoy graphics/hardware. It gives me enough time to talk yet it's not subtle, so I'm hoping it can keep attention till the end

I'm really going for broad general appeal with this one youtu.be/gpkhJV8PVpU It's about customizing a ROM when it's being downloaded. You could make each download have a unique dungeon for example

god damn it I'm doing trigonometry for a simple website that I'm making for like 6 seconds of a video

Watch this while my voice is too shot to make a new video. I genuinely love this thing. Drop SNES suggestions to play on it that I probably haven't heard of!

A more polished version. I think I prefer this transition between the fake and real GameBoy. Still some jank on the background removal around the GameBoy. Not sure if I'll bother fixing it.

a rough draft of a VFX clip I'm working on for a video. Still trying to decide how I want the transition from the line-art GameBoy to the real one to work. I'm not the biggest fan of the current technique. Also the text on GameBoy is just placeholder for now

Is there anyone in Montreal who'd be interested in a GB Interceptor github.com/Staacks/gbin... I'm thinking of getting some made and the price per unit drops quickly the more you order. Price could be around $20 CAD but will depend on order size and cost of other components.

It's been a while since I got one of these packages. Gotta fire up the ol' soldering iron!

why does the last sip of coffee always taste the best making me want another cup

oooo my Game Bub has shipped! I might get it this monday!

:)

most of the youtube sponsorship offers I'm getting (not that I get a lot) are for AI companies and it's not ideal

The legendary #Workboy found a new home! I ported the ROM to work on the #MegaDuck laptop (a #GameBoy clone). Not the hardware we wanted, but...it's hardware that exists! Keyboard, Real Time Clock and all. Free #DuckDuckWorkboy #rompatch on the itch page: bbbbbr.itch.io/mega-duck-pa... #romhacking

well shoot, I was thinking of building basically this: tincan.kids I probably never would have gotten around to making it so glad it exists at least

Ending our cottage vacation by finding lice on our kids! Fun!

improvement?

ah yes, I missed these types of bugs...

If you ever bought, or may buy, one of my #gameBoy games every cent of it is putting my daughter through Game Design at University.❣️ #indieDev
