That narrows it down quite a bit, basically to:
- Analogue Pocket (left): Very premium device. Impressive hardware but expensive and often runs out.
- FPGBC (right): The same format as a Game Boy Color but with a backlit screen and a rechargeable battery. You can buy it pre-assembled. Cheaper.

Looking through my photos from Inércia 2024, I really like how this one turned out.
The combination of mood, colors and grain remind me of the incredible @rob-sheridan.com

I like it better than the one I had.
If I hadn't heard of it beforehand, I would have no idea what it was about.

I'm pretty sure it was originally a clear "Play it Loud!" Game Boy that turned orange. I had seen some that turned yellow but not to this point.
I don't know what happened. If it had just been left out in the sun the screen would have turned black. It must stink of cigarette smoke!
Poor thing.

It went really well. He won the first game by stealing agendas. On the second game I flatlined him with a loaded trap. "I can't believe it!", he said with a grin.
Netrunner is still fantastic, I missed it so!

I don't rate my own games because it feels tacky when I see others doing it.
I use the BGG comments to keep track of games I've played, so I leave this comment:

Which is why the rulebook for SUPERHOT: The Card Game includes this:
"And of course, thank you Donald X Vaccarino for Dominion and for introducing the deckbuilding mechanism to the world."

Missing Netrunner so much that I'm perfecting my print and play skills in an attempt to get a local group going.
I'm getting good results by printing on A4 sticker paper, sticking the whole sheet to a 250g/m2 page, then cutting.
3mm corner rounder looks premium but it's overkill for the whole set.

Of course it had to be a Square Enix game. They're terrible at naming things.
Their internal studio names are hilarious, though:

There's a couch co-op mode where Player 2 controls Pauline. She has an aim reticle and "shoots" words at the environment, which can break or build things.

My first business cards were made for a networking event so I made a game that you could play using the business cards collected there.
Nowadays my card is simpler. The front has my name and contact info (with room for them to take notes). The back has images of the most popular games I worked on.
