If you've got some time to kill this weekend, or just like the idea of treating yourself to a little surprise, then a quick click of my site's magic random article button won't hurt :)

The artwork of Solar Striker used on the cover of the Japanese #GameBoy release. Unfortunately sources weren't good so the result isn't up to my standards. Removed logo, taking a few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch. No clue on the artist, any info let me know.

Solar Striker clean artwork used on the cover of the Japanese Game Boy release. Image depicts space scene, where a small spacecraft shooting at a spherical enemy which in return is shooting back. There are explosions near the spacecraft.

Ahhh, I know, I just wanna see the MD get some love. And use my JPN NSO 6 button controller!

But with SEGA withdrawing their titles from other platforms, it's highly unlikely we'll get anymore on NSO, I fear.

Utopia, eh

jake•ジェイク @jake74.bsky.social · 2d

Your personal perspective (as we both know) means you'll take a very different view, and that is understandable (and proper shit mate)

But again, your perspective does not mean the thing another person feels during those 10-20 mins of ordering a ticket is not true

It clearly isn't all anyone has to get stressed about, don't be so facetious.

jake•ジェイク @jake74.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I know that kind of stress. Ran a company for 17 years, worked at a global agency for 2 years with 72 staff under me.

No one's trying to say that's not stressful. It's a different kind of stress, pressure and guilt. "If you can't fix this, 10 people are laid off" is management guilt.

jake•ジェイク @jake74.bsky.social · 2d

Haha, you guys. You can't tell me my own experience of buying (many) gig tickets in the past hasn't been stressful, it absolutely has been. Albeit in a smaller focused time period. You may not be interested in live music, or seeing a band play, but don't devalue how others feel about it.

jake•ジェイク @jake74.bsky.social · 2d

I thought the pre-order and pray line inferred you were.

Only pulling your leg, I found the two posts one after the other amusing.

Buying gig tickets is bloody stressful, by design. Much like console launches.

Finally got past Dorter Slums in FFT.

I remember why I stopped playing it each time I’d tried to give it a go 😅
