+
+
+
+# A thought on Creating for the Sake of Myself
+
+
+I've was sick for sometime prior to writing this and due to the huge amount of
+time I spent rolling around on the rug that became my bed I had a renewed sense
+of drive to actually create what I want. It's not really the time that I lost
+during this period that upsets me but instead the desire to actually make
+something and having no real way of actually doing those things.
+
+In the pursuit of actually trying for a goal I've had in my head for so long I
+found myself becoming complacent with myself and ultimately I stopped trying.
+Stopped trying to do anything of real meaning to myself: I was just going day
+by day isolated in my little apartment becoming increasingly detached from
+everything around me.
+
+## A dull mind serves me no purpose
+
+> Working on new projects that challenge my mind's ability to process and manipulate
+> things has historically only resulted in far greater issues in the long run.
+
+When this happens I usually have to change my mindset going forward to make a kind
+of course correction and ensure I don't completely lose grip on the space around
+me. This is exactly what I realized I had to do as my sickness started to fade
+and my energy went back to normal. The more I came back and came through the more
+I saw how so many around me were allowing their minds to become dull and I just
+did _not_ want to deal with the consequences of that sort of thing.
+
+
+## Shaping space again and running this mind hard again
+
+As for what I've been creating it's a collection of things consisting of long 
+standing backlog items I never cleared and projects that I've dreamt of doing.
+The small fixes include things like:
+
+* Cleaning off the balcony so it's  work friendly
+* Fixing the broken leg on my workbench 
+* Fixing up the cable management issue ( bunny keeps attacking wires )
+* Fixing my duffle bag zipper
+
+The main project's I've been wanting to tackle and actually have started:
+
+* Working on content to upload to my temper youtube page
+* A new desk setup that isn't some cheapo setup from Ikea
+* A new daily bag for carry stuff like my wallet, phone etc.
+
+
+## But why constantly try to be productive
+
+I don't actually care about being productive but moreso because it feels nice
+to express what's on my mind physically. For example the desk doesn't really
+matter to me so much as the desire to express my idea of acceptable progress
+towards some goal.
+
+To elaborate: I'm not good at traditional joinery techniques like making mortise
+and tenon joints but I'm ok with making some really janky ones that still end
+up being functional. Doing this and expressing it through the build and some
+voice over gives me the opportunity to effectively gather like minded people on
+the premise that: it's more important to attempt creativity in lieu of perfection.
+
+
+## What now?
+
+Honestly I'm going to just keep chugging along with the stuff I'm working on.
+Even though I hate being busy and brushing people off it seems that this has
+happened to me 9999x times by now so to hell with it all. I'm just going to do
+the things I want to do and if someone decides to pop up their head from the
+sand and wants to do something cool I'll join them.

+title: The Gameboy Mod My Younger Self Always Wanted
+description: The backlight LED mod on GBA's is literally so good
+date: 2026-06-21T20:32:08-07:00
+draft: false

+
+## The Starting Point
+
+A while back I decided I wanted to get back into some retro mobile games because
+it feels comfy and gives me an excuse to do some basic resto-modding.
+My first target in this case was the Gameboy Advance that I've had since I was
+just a lad :3
+
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/basic-off.jpg" "Close up of Gameboy" >}}
+
+As soon as I turned on the thing though I realized that the total lack of
+backlight completely sucks. For those that don't recall how bad, here's mine
+before doing any modifying and in the sunlight ;-;
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/saphire-save-closeup.jpg" "Saphire save closeup" >}}
+
+_Ignore the custom buttons, this pic was taken during my testing period :3_
+
+## Opening Up to Replacing the Old and Dull with New and Bright
+
+It seems weird in hindsight but I intiall ythought that a backlight mod would
+require soldering and modifying the original screen when in fact the "easier"
+way of doing this was just replacing the old screen with a newer more modern one.
+
+The one I picked was the {{< link "No Cut IPS Backlight Mod Kit" "https://retrogamerepairshop.com/collections/gba-displays/products/gba-game-boy-advance-drop-in-ips-backlight-mod-kit" >}}
+from {{< link "Retro Game Repair Shop" "https://retrogamerepairshop.com/" >}}  which
+is an awesome kit and comes with nearly everything to do this mod.
+The only thing that it's missing is a tri-wing screw driver which makes doing 
+this substantially easier. I didn't have one and **thought** that Harbor Freight
+would help me here but as you can see below the  tri-wing that you can get
+required some..... sharpening to make it fit into the **tiny** screw heads.
+
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/hf-tri-hex-fixing.jpg" "Closeup of tri-wing" >}}
+
+I did manage to sharpen the bit by clamping some 80 grit sandpaper to my
+workbench and **slowly** removing material until I had a good enough fit.
+Luckily once the tri-wing screws holding the case are gone we are greeted with
+phillips head screws securing the motherboard to the front of the case which
+are easily removed.
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/internals.jpg" "Closeup of tri-wing" >}}
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/internals-close.jpg" "Another closeup of the internals" >}}
+
+I didn't get any pictures of the process for replacing the screen but I did get
+one of the testing phase. :warning: Testing ended up being super crucial because
+the first screen unit I bought was actually DOA. Luckily the second unit was fine
+and I was also able to get some nicer buttons becaue I ended up not really liking
+the clear button aesthetic.
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/testing-led-screen.jpg" "Testing the new screen" >}}
+
+Closing everything back up _should_ have been easy though one thing I had to do
+was shave down some of the after market buttons since they were **just barely**
+too big. Other than that however just going slow led to a very smooth re-assembly
+process. Turning it on I'm greeted with this :)
+
+{{< pic "/media/img/gba/gba-splash-led.jpg" "Closeup led splash screen" >}}
+
+Also going with black buttons was definitely the move I think because it just
+looks _so much cleaner_ :3
+
+
+But of course what good are pictures when you could _watch_ this lovely little
+thing in action.
+

+
+
+conclusion: very nice and epic :3
