phew got my fiancee out of impending adobe cancellation fee hell by asking their chatbot for a callback, which came from california (= halfway across the world, lol). i gave some reasons why she shouldn't have to pay, and didn't even get any pushback. i recall reading this could've gone a lot worse

A screenshot showing 24 Japanese magazine cover thumbnails on archive.org They're Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine's 1987 issues.
Awesome news! @ozidual.bsky.social edited the full run of the 1987 Famimaga (Nintendo's Family Computer Magazine) magazines that I scanned a while back which means they're so much easier to flip through and read now! Check them out: archive.org/details/@ozi...

suruga doesn't mention it, but the msrp's follow the same pattern (8k for GTS + 4k for RS)

if these are addons, then i can dig this style of releases (core game for 8k, plus 4k for addon, back in the day). i was gonna get pissed if the non-RS releases were just flat out inferior versions, cos that would've meant Sogna would've tried to make people buy the same game twice

wait V10 RS description says it requires the regular one to run, so it sounds like an addon

now that i look at the second pic, i see a shinai (kendo sword) shaped bag on her shoulder... earlier i thought these looked nothing alike, hahah. at any rate though, both have preservation value, so i would've still bought them

losing popular games to rich casuals is one thing, but lately, when going after titles that crowd doesn't care about, i seem to always be up against dark link from zelda 2, but with infinite health. i know who they are too, but not sure i wanna dm them for mercy, or if that would backfire lol

krug's guide to collecting:
1) get rekt by the same two guys (a big-time collector with infinite money + a scammy reseller) in every single auction, while seemingly no one else in the world cares for these games
2) notice viper games are €4 a pop on suruga time sale, buy them all to ease the pain

so if anyone wonders where all the good j-pc game deals in the 300-2000 jpy range went, i might've grabbed over a hundred of em during the past two months 😳 figured if i'm ever gonna hoard all the commons too, i gotta do it now that yen is in the absolute gutter, before it rebounds...
