There is a pixelfed account that posts exclusively Game Boy camera images. Coolest thing I’ve seen in some time.

    I remember shopping with my Mom at, I think, Wal-Mart, and coming across the GameBoy Camera and the Printer in the bargain bin in the electronics section. I explained it what these were and she was like “Yeah let’s buy these, plus a camera for your brother!” I don’t remember how much they were, but probably no more than like $50 combined. Otherwise can’t see her just buying two cameras and a printer on a whim like that.

    I think I still have my Camera somewhere…but the Printer I’m pretty sure is gone. The Printer used thermal printing on rolls that were actually stickers. So we’d make stupid faces, edit them, and print them out. Of course, this was in the days before Amazon and buying cheap replacements for anything, so once our roll of sticker paper was gone, that was the end of the Printer. Which is probably why I haven’t seen it in over two decades. Probably got tossed our during various family moves.
