Woops, missed that context! Assumed you meant 13 inch framework models in general!

I've been daily driving a first gen 13"/i7 model for 2 years now. It's not the best laptop I've ever owned, but it's my favorite.

Battery dies in sleep, sometimes it won't wake up... honestly things I can live with. In exchange, I've been able to increase ram, replace the screen, and upgrade the back panel myself. I've also switched up my port configuration twice over the 2 years and that's been super convenient.

It's like running a less mainstream desktop environment: It's got rough edges, but I picked it for reasons besides stability and consistency.

I'm going to grab an AMD mainboard next year instead of buying a new laptop, and will turn the old mobo into a server for my website.

Idk, it's got issues, but no more than any other laptop I've run Linux on. It's good enough and I smile every time I pull it out of my bag and see the gear logo (even when it turns out it died in my bag lol)

@OP The Motorola Atrix tried this a while ago, but it wasn't particularly popular with reviewers

I'd forgotten how good the 3DS 2D Mario game was, this looks super fun.

I got you

  • add ebook reader app to phone
  • download ebooks
  • pretend ebooks are long-form Reddit posts
  • become well-read while wasting time

If you can't read, download picture ebooks instead

One of the devs is Grumpy Function!

His other games are good too.

If you're interested in other new games for the Gameboy check out that mastodon instance, the admin released a great game called "The Machine"

I'm actually enjoying the lack of doomscroll.

Since Lemmy isn't built to trap you for hours on end to get that sweet ad revenue, you can just run out of new stuff to see and then stop lemmying. Bust open the eReader or get to that backlog of bookmarked articles.

I'm still looking myself! The developer looks to be starting a mastodon community (pocketpixels.club) where I found FusionRGamer which seems to have a decent collection of new game news (at least for the gameboy!)

The other one off the top of my head that I've personally tried is Deadeus which was kinda the poster child for GBStudio.

I also really enjoyed Super Jacked Up Tomato Face Johnson, which is much simpler but stays fun.

Good to know!

I have a big interest in these new titles releasing on old chips; some of them do narrative / design things which would have never been considered "back in the day", so it helps spice up the library and really maximize what you can get out of these retro devices!

Don't know if this fits since it's a new game for a retro console, but as a big collector of retro handheld stuff this has been a treat!

The Machne is a muti-ending RPG for the GBC where you play as GIRT, a denizen of The Machine.

It's seriously great, I've probably seen 10 endings so far and I've only just figured out how to ditch my factory job and live as an artist. I've killed people, moved drugs, sorted boxes, been rich, been homeless, rigged elections -- there's something for everyone.

They released both a physical cartridge and a ROM version that includes a .pocket file if you're rocking an analogue. Available here!

There's also a demo on itch.io

(Feel free to remove if this doesn't fit in retrogames!)
