once is fine! (I know of only two cases where it didn't stop appearing, which would not be fine).
Considere it part of the game's story :D

2nd Law Games @2ndlawgames.bsky.social · 7d

oh no ... 🫠
did it only appear once?
Have you updated your cartridge to the latest version?

Auf der Gamescom habe ich am Stand von @modretro.bsky.social zwei Game Boy/Color Flyer mitgenommen. Beworben werden die Homebrew-Titel Self Simulated von @2ndlawgames.bsky.social und Mississippi Mayhem. Ich finde es cool, wenn auch heute noch Werbematerial zu Game Boy Spielen veröffentlicht wird🙂

Did you know that there is a cheat code in Self Simulated to print the robot using a Game Boy Printer?
