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
mercari sellers be like
"hard to find, rare, 12800 jpy"
and then it's logh 3 sp 😹

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...
i'm gonna be like, dude you're japanese and in your 50s, you've had your whole life to grab your copies of these!!! 🤣🤣🤣
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
msrp was also half of V10 (4k vs 8k jpy)
wait V10 RS description says it requires the regular one to run, so it sounds like an addon
wait does that mean RS is an addon? or the same full game with improvements?
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
oh wow, that's actually something i didn't know about these games. does that mean these two are also the same? asking for a friend, who bought a bunch of random ones today 🤣
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
those are very easy to get duplicates of, if you ever buy lots from yaj. considering that, idk how i've dodged them for this long 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
hehe there will be more of these for everyone (eventually... it's been eerily quiet on the suruga restock front)
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...
