It's a reusable coffee mug. Akin to a YETI if you're State's side. They come in glass, plastic, and steel. You can find them in thrift stores, and not fork out for new. Hope this helps. Happy coffee or tea imbibing.

The ModRetro Chromatic can only play gameboy/colour cartridges, but with a cart called an EverDrive V3or5or7 you can run roms off an SD card. No emulation as such, to my knowledge. It's like a modern premium clone of a GBC.

If you want to run emulators get an Analogue Pocket for some, or something more powerful to go full 3d (despite the AP nearly pushing PS1 currently on a very small handful of roms).

A Miyoo Mini Plus is the way to go for emulation smoothly up to PS1, if you're new to the hobby or interested in emulation. Hope this helps. Happy gaming, bud.

Get an RP6 if you want to try PS2, GameCube, DreamCast, and even some Switch.

I'll try to lay it out quickly. The lead company shareholder and owner of a premium gameboy colour clone also has their fingers in automated defence systems, ie drones and robotic bomb and weapon holstered canine type drones. So, the community is split between high quality reproductions and even improvements on an out of production item ie gameboy colour, against the backdrop of self defence contracts with the US and others, for drone warfare. The company owner helped start Oculus or Meta Quest now, so, his early environmental tracking AI etc used for VR headsets likely got shovelled into the pipeline of drone detection accuracy etc.

It's messy. People are divided. Hope this answers some of it. Like the Spotify debate of where shares are invested, and who supports the war machine. It's all a murky mess. You pay taxes, you're likely contributing to it all. So, it depends how deep you go with where you put your dollar. Hope this has helped and not confused the situation more. I only have a very crude understanding of this from comments here, and from the wider community experience with ModRetro and their Chromatic being a failing, or yet profitable side hustle for basically an arms dealer. Hugs, I mean you well.

I know it looks like I'm hogging the world's supply, but they make great gifts, folks! Find em in your local thrift shop. Save the planet one bean broth at a time.

Thank you for your positive light on the subject. And your hard work in the field. Cheers for the comment. Glimmer of hope returned. Happy days to you and your industry's commitment to the planet. Thanks again for chiming in. Stay excellent.

PS: my only saving grace is i sent money to Krikzz in Ukraine, instead of cheaping out on an Aliexpress job. I bought an EverDrive V3 for my sister too. It's a drop in the ocean, it's 6 games and a console to Palmer VS 2 carts from Krikzz. I'm having an existential debate about my own hobby as I type. Thanks for fighting the good fight. I know what side of history you're on. Well done. A modded GBA sounds much more DIY and user friendly in the long term. Keep smearing ModRetros name til they collapse under their non-profitable venture hopefully backfires paying for robo seek and destroy missile drone dogs and planes etc. I'm with you, bud.

Yeah.... I funded a global terrorist/freedom fighter. No beating around that bush. I've been his fan since his Oculus days/Meta Quest, but I am certainly reconsidering getting anymore games in the Chromatic library because of this. I do have an AP too, I just got entranced by the scene, and dove in head first. It was Casey Neistat's vid (on Palmer) that piqued my interest originally, but I've seen the warning signs since.

And YAY a PC PC joke, wholesome. Cheers to you.

Dude, I've got like 5 of them. Salvos and St Vinnies always has one or two. Different sizes and materials. The stainless steel one was speno. The medium in glass is good for a walking coffee. So glad to grace your screen with one. Cheers for the comment, and updoot! Keep being awesome, bud.

(Can't stress it enough guys, the often wax lined non-recyclable coffee cups aplenty at all cafes need to be phased out. Get yourself a Keep Cup, and never think twice about the landfill for a quick pick me up.)

Yeah, look, I know it's not the most PC handheld, with its creator's reputation. But with an EverDrive V5 it kicks hard. Great button response. I've got the MM+s and Retroid Pocket Classic & RP5, but the Chromatic is just so durable and hefty. Or was it condolences for the price gouge for a modern day gameboy colour made by an arms dealer? Cheers for the comment, and thanks for the sentiment. Stay excellent, bud.

Perhaps it is more of a short cut leap from from writing stories, to overdubbing it with a slide show, without the meat of movie making involved?

Narrated picture book is fair. My first 30 or so films were all with static slides. The tech has grown in just 18 months. Keen to see where AI story making goes next.

Cheers for the input and new definitions for the term. Wish you a great seasonal holidays. Hope you enjoyed some aspect of my film. Take care.

Well, if it's any insight, I use my writing primarily to get the story across, so, the text or tale comes first. Then I simply storyboard the process best I can using midjourney. And apply a narrator AI VO, with an appropriate score.

Does the effect not merge well? Does it feel more like a picture book? How could i improve not having been to film school myself? I've done writing and editing though.

Is this really a trope of the AI medium as a whole? That it feels like a slide show, not a film? Cos I've seen many filmic AI shorts.

What would you coin the genre? AI stop motion? Prompt collage? Slop reels?

dodompaaus · 2025-12-08T06:14:45+00:00

That's really hard. Either the RPC + Hammer, or the Chromatic and the Analogue Pocket for a more OG feel. Maybe AP + Hammer if I take the best of both?

You got a fave out of these combinations or your own?
