i guess part of the reason for me to discontinue Melted Moon and start a solo project (which it de-facto has been for a while) is that my performance gameboys have been stolen at #37c3.if anyone ever spots one of these, let me know.

@mbr I don't know what Melted Moon was. But thank you for showing me what I believe might be the first GameBoy mod that I've seen. It's rare to see a modded case of any piece of electronics from the 80s for some reason.

@steeph@queerchen.de Melted Moon was the name of the band i made gameboy music with. were most active around 10 years ago, had gigs all across europe, released two albums with a record label, were booked and endorsed by nintendo and everything, huge festivals, etc etc.Another gameboy i had (which is now in the possession of another band member) fitted with MIDI in and out (yes, this works), there's a video where i hooked it up to a drum synth, and i really want to mod another one with that and hook up a Midibox SID to it. There's so many fun things that can be done to a gameboy... Sadly, a modded gameboy is of course a very fancy thing to slip into your pockett if left unattended for a second... In that moment, it doesn't matter that installing these mods is work or that i paid an artist lots of money to paint that case... These weren't just gameboys, they were musical instruments that have seen crowds of tens of thousands.

@mbr if I ever see them online I will try my best to get them to you. What a horrible loss.

@Bobo_PK@chaos.social thank you, that means a lot :neocat_melt_sob_heart: i don't have high hopes though, considering it's been a while, i just realized they are indeed gone because i have completely emptied my room and there is no trace of these gameboys.

@mbr It makes me sad to read about stolen stuff at congress. It was so much stuff last year. And it became a thing the years before that. Before it moved back to Hamburg for the first time I wasn't even able to find somebody who had ever heard of anything being stolen at congress ever. I asked around because there was an incident caused by somebody who snuck in to steal laptops. I used to leave my stuff unattended when I went for a stroll or get a drink. I only stopped because I was asked to by angels and I had to pick up my stuff from lost and found twice because somebody brought it there before somebody else might steal it. That's when this feeling of sadness started and reading about this now makes me realise that the congress that I love doesn't even exist anymore. It's not the same after the thought that theft exists enters your mind.

@steeph @mbr My laptop was stolen at the EasterHegg 2007. @timpritlove's laptop was stolen on the Chaos Camp 2003, I seem to remember. Several of my ZIP disks (with important data on them!) were stolen at #15c3, 1998. On the c3s before that, hardware was labelled at the entrance to make it harder to steal it. Even though it feels like you could leave your stuff unattended at Chaos events, it was never really a good idea.
