Bummed.

Hi, Geril here.

This month was a mess.
We were supposed to go to Japan tomorrow. We bought and booked everything: flight tickets, hotel rooms, new backpacks, power banks, and we even won four tickets for the L'Arc concerts we targeted (they do a lottery for the tickets, so we were very lucky). But because of the coronavirus outbreak, they cancelled the concerts and closed a lot of places we wanted to visit. We are quite burnt out, because we worked overtime to get things done before we go, so we're a bit under the weather.
So because all of this, we're not going to Japan.
We lost some money because of it, but we're not gonna risk our health, especially if we can't even go to the concerts.

Both of the hotels were good sports, they understood that we cancelled our reservation because of the outbreak and they gave our money back. But we're probably not gonna get our money back for the plane tickets.





But on to some better news. We got a Gameboy Printer WiFi adapter!

This little pack of circuits acts like a Game Boy printer, so when I connect my good ol' GB Camera to it, it saves the images. It also creates a WiFi signal, and if I connect to it, I can download the saved images.





Here's what they look like:







It's got a bit of a pointillism look, that I like very much.
It can even take panorama images!
The Game Boy Camera was ahead of its time... even with only 4 colors.
Maybe one day we'll use some GB camera images as masks or textures in a game project. Or not. Anyway, it's fun to make images with an old Game Boy.
