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

pia carrot back in stock www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

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

omg i actually dumped a disk, first time in like two months. better stop before it goes to my head...

suruga pricing be like "all extras missing, 4640 yen" "one extra missing, 2640 yen"

when you absolutely MUST get the best price for the best game by listing it in the non-adult category

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...

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...

Ehh?! Do you own the original software? This campaign in MSX Magazine from 1990 wants you to help the guarantee of a prosperous computer society. Dozens of Japanese companies, including Hudson and Sega, cosigned this effort. Don't copy that floppy! #gaming #retro #MSX 🎮

wow blood sugar only 10 - the lowest it's been in a month now. just need to drop 3 more to reach the upper limit of "normal" 😅

perfect set to be enjoyed on a park bench, on a sunny spring day, without a care in the world

where's mr. plow when you need him?

oh man, there's always a worry w/ some sellers that they might throw away the game's plastic case - without asking!!! - to fit the stuff inside a yu-packet (~300jpy) as opposed to yu-pack (~800jpy). this might be the first time it happened to me lol. super lucky i was only after the manual this time

big, big grabs today. waiting for sellers to ship though first, before spilling the beans

oh god i'm a complete dunce. i bid on a game after checking neo kobe that the # of disks matched, but kobe was ofc missing the extras. even suruga didn't mention any extras, prob cos they don't always get them with the game. so then i noticed, there on the frigging cover,

so this is what "takaichi fever" is all about

if there's one thing jp collectors love more than spite-bidding against proxy accounts, it's saving valuable room space by throwing away game boxes

man i must've racked up quite an insulin resistance, as this stuff is taking its sweet time to do its thing. blood sugar still at 17...

my future here in the sticks

psst. insane deal

this rare game had been dropping in price for a year w/o takers, then when i finally decided to go for it at the last min, someone contested me last sec, and spent the next 20mins hiking up the price by ¥300 before giving up. like gj my dude, w/e ur goal was there, u really did ur thing - with gusto

Same Karen... Same.

my 2026 speedruns: 1) grabbing as many dirt cheap pc98 commons as humanly possible, before jpy (inevitably) rises from the gutter 2) going to toilet % by sleeping on the couch (with my new co-host: diabetes)

i eat from the ミニ青箱🟦 of ideology

today i got sent to "KYS" (kuopio university hospital) for diabetes testing. if that's not the funniest acronym for a hospital, idk what is

a box from early last fall that got mysteriously lost finally made its way here. i wouldn't have worried too much about it, if it weren't for the game in the bottom left corner, lol

some guy on yaj came in at last minute like, grr i must have this specific copy of epsilon 3, and bid 12500 for it. ok bud, i'll just grab the rank b suruga copy you might've missed, discounted today to 6300 - yoink! :^)

onions mess up the kitchen way more than they have any right to, and the inventor of those dumb bags should go to prison

It's fucked up that if you go on a random porn site, all the hentai is interpolated to 60fps, and all the JAV stuff has been "AI Decensored" to look like parasites are trying to escape the skin of peoples bodies. The people who do this stuff have to be kept in a kennel, I swear to god

really cheap pc98 slayers here. disk fubi should mean cosmetic damage (e.g. labels fallen off), and not problems with the data surfaces, as there are different wordings for that www.suruga-ya.jp/product/deta...

oh wow, what is this shop smoking 😹

wth, this seems to be a cd-rom of crime scene corpses. the multimedia era really had it all...

little do the devs know, they'd make a fortune by rereleasing this for gen z

just secured one of my endgame treasures: the original doujin version of metajo. i recall only seeing like 2 copies pop up before, with the previous one insta-selling for staggering 35k, rofl. not sure i had any right to get lucky with this particular title,but diligent fiending tends to pay off :^)

Advanced Dogiemon, a brief write-up on a doujin Ys tribute game, where you play as Dogi the wall-crusher as he rescues a kidnapped Adol. Also includes a download link to the PC88 game so you can play it yourself! www.hardcoregaming101.net/advanced-dog...

i bought this bok choy from the pet store, and i'm not letting our pets anywhere near it

searching mandarake for フロッピー (floppy) apparently returns a lot of dvd covers with women pooping, and/or smearing themselves with poop. does this word double as some fetish term? 😅

speaking of things named "Internet", this gem just popped up on mercari lol

AV idol Ai Iijima (飯島 愛) transformed into Time Gal at the Tokyo nightclub 「ジュリアナ東京」"Juliana's Tokyo" during the Wolf Team new product presentation event, "Wolf Manjack Party," on December 1, 1992.

this castle better be fucking excellent

things i passed up today: moldy "lettuce cooking" for fm towns

a little something for next fall

now THIS is how you name a company

today on mercari: account name "father of three" selling off his old hentais

things i didn't grab on suruga today

Akihabara in 1994
