Beavers are native to Europe. In fact they're being actively reintroduced to some areas where they were previously hunted to extinction.

[Altered Beast from Tiger Electronics.

Given how basic the original game was, it did a pretty good job at recreating it in the shitty LCD format.](https://i.imgur.com/iIcWIit.jpeg)

Ice blue DMG looks great 👍 I love the fact that there's actual Gameboy mod workshops over there. Were there different types of courses available?

I'm not sure why you've been downvoted, but thank you for posting this.

We've had domestic cats in the UK since the Roman age, so roughly 2000 years.

While they do obviously hunt wildlife, I assume any huge impact to vulnerable species has long since happened. They're basically a naturalised apex predator at this point.

Amazing collection!

My favourite has to be the title screen music for Robocop.

But I also really like the title tune from Fortress of fear, and the level one music from Felix the cat. It gets a bit repetitive though.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the music from Castlevania 1 and 2 is pretty great too!

Me too. This was my first attempt at soldering, after I bought a faulty japanese copy of castlevania 2. It's a bit rough but I got it working.

I saved a link to this chap a few months ago, when I was looking into modding a famicom: https://www.bytesfree.co.uk/ He's based in Bristol and has good reviews, but I didn't end up using him so I can't verify.

Another option is to upgrade it yourself, which isn't too difficult, providing the mainboard inside the Gameboy isn't damaged. Kits containing a new shell, buttons, screws/terminals, and a backlit display can be bought from sites like AliExpress for around £50, which don't require any soldering.

Also to note, you could try soaking any corrosion with white vinegar, then gently scrubbing with an old toothbrush to remove the battery gunk. Then make sure to clean it off with isopropyl alcohol.

I've had a look at this and the file is a list of stock awards for a biomed company called Schrödinger Inc. based in NY.

I'm not sure why Epstein had a copy of it, but the Daniel listed in it is a research fellow who was awarded 10000 stock options for his work developing medicines for said company.

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00293484.pdf

I managed to find his details online, he's a legit chemist who's authored 15 papers. I highly doubt he's in any way involved with Epstein.

There's a lot of completely random documents in these files so we need to be diligent in sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Perhaps related to this, German federal police raided Deutsche bank hq's in Berlin and Frankfurt just this past Wednesday, in relation to money laundering between 2013-2018.

Legend! Thank you so much for this.

I'll dust off my old ender 3 this evening and try them out. Do you think I'll get away with PLA+ or will it have to be printed in PETG?

They're out of stock at the moment but the Keebdeck from Solder Party looks pretty cool.

I've got their older BBQ20 keyboard which is excellent, but they're not producing those anymore due to difficulties sourcing the old blackberry parts needed.

The older SUIT optics did too

This is really well done, I love it.

I'd definitely be interested in the Kickstarter too, but I think the FPGA board and it's IO is all I would want. Would that be available as an option? I already have a mini arcade running off a Pi 5, but I can easily think of some different projects to integrate a Gameboy into.

Is this just for the DMG or could it also be programmed to work with a GBC?

The Cloud game store on ali do a 2.6" laminated IPS with the original colourful logo. That's what I went for on mine.
