Revision as of 11:30, 12 January 2023

The gbdev Discord server has built up a number of inside jokes.

:accurate1:, :accurate2:, :inaccurate1:, :inaccurate2:: Used in pairs, they represent the title screen of Pinball Deluxe, a Game Boy game that has built up a reputation of being notoriously hard to emulate, drawn in both normal and corrupt ways.

🧱 :bricks:: Relates in some way to user evie. Alludes to Internet memes speculating the use of a brick as an evolution stone to turn the Pokémon Eevee into a ghost-type.

, :Kappa:: Usually represents sarcasm. This may appear as the face of Twitch.tv web developer Josh DeSeno or as a male kappa (anthropomorphic sea turtle) from the game Scribblenauts.

:impostor_kappa:: Similar to :Kappa: but with 100% more DMG LCD shade of green.

:duck:: Similar in some ways to :kappa:. Took on a double meaning once the Mega Duck system on chip was discovered to be a Game Boy with no boot ROM and a rearranged register ($FF00-$FF7F) map, with most of the same quirks. As of mid-2021, the server icon depicts a mallard duck on the screen of an atomic purple Game Boy Color system.

:maxd:: Emoji representing a user having "ninja'd" someone else. Resembles :gun: 🔫️

:ohboy: and :noboy:: Variant of :accurate1: family taken from the Game Boy Color demo Demotronic by 1MB. It begins by testing wave RAM read blocking behavior, showing :ohboy: and "OH BOY!" on success or :noboy: and "NO BOY! NO DEMO!" on failure.

:punapple:: A :pineapple: 🍍️ over user PinoBatch's avatar, used as a symbol of wordplay. Pino is a staff member on that server known for his love of puns. Some people find his puns a bit weird; sometimes attributed to the fact that he is openly autistic. He's always willing to explain a joke that a user doesn't get.

Super Mario 83: Nickname introduced by Videogamer555 for the Sharp CPU core in the Game Boy system on chip, which is thought to be identical to the SM83 CPU core in a Sharp air conditioner microcontroller. Built up a bunch of lore about there being undocumented functionality to accelerate games.

:thinkgb:: Variant of :thinking: 🤔️ with the face replaced with a Game Boy.
