"It’s part of a tradition of stories that Emi [Lenox] and I both really enjoy, like Mean Creek and Stand By Me, where you have this group of kids who are confronted by something very dark and outside their experience. This thing it changes them and they aren’t equipped to deal with it because they’re children. It takes them them on a dark path and you get to follow them. The superhero stuff and more fantastic elements of the world are really background." -- Jeff Lemire

Wait, so they have laptops and social media, but that kid has a Gameboy. Right, this ruins everything 0/100.

In all serious, interesting stuff here.

Could be a hand-me-down, mom telling them they can't afford the latest version of every gadget that comes out

Last Game Boy was released in 2005. Laptops were around since 1979. First social media, Six Degrees, opened in 1997, and Myspace opened in 2003. It's very realistic for the series to be set in early 21st century.
