@retroactiveRuin it was my first portable console (yes, even before the gameboy… that came later w/the gameboy pocket haha). i always thought it was a cool system, even if it seeped batteries dry in no time. that's why i'm proud i managed to have a part of the game gear micro via its menu music.
yeah i read the Mike Fischer sega-16 interview. i still wish the game gear micro wasn’t japan-only and did make it to america & moreso worldwide. the original really was an iconic rival to the gameboy in US and imo deserved its reborn recognition there alongside the genesis mini.
@troylamoi haha you made a good start by going to dotonburi… but you gotta go down the stairs onto the frontage walkway paths of the river, then you’ll find the グリ下 folks dressed in jirai-kei hanging out underneath ebisu bridge & the other nearby pedestrian ones
@Icky427@masabarus660 yes, this is the same exact S660.
this happened last year right at the end of July.
apparently the track's newly-installed "Al-powered" automatic warning system didn't sense the initial pile-up, therefore the owner (Pavel) driving at that time wasn't aware until it was too late.
@steubens7@hawkun i have not unfortunately, but looking at it it now reminds me of No Second Prize for amiga & atari st, which totally fits the low-resolution flat-shaded aesthetic. the pre-cel-shaded style gradients on cyberbykes is definitely a nostalgic aesthetic of itself though haha
@exquizitely@FunkyRustic that said, i honestly think their change to modern EA as the general public knows them (and the associated baggage that they’re arguably known even more for) all started when Trip Hawkins left
@exquizitely@FunkyRustic i’m old enough that i’ll forever associate EA for their contributions towards amiga artists w/their excellent productivity tools like deluxepaint & deluxe music construction set…
but more importantly, actively promoting one of the very first successful media file standards: IFF
you thought i was pretentious af about american goobs sporting terribly-replicated japanese license plates on their imported cars cause “it’s hella JDM af bro”? nah nah nah… it’s NOW that y’all are cooked lol
went to comiket. standing out of all the usual waifu husbando stuff, never have i quickly pulled out my wallet to immediately buy a book from a circle i incidentally found just out of a mere glance — all while my inner dialogue screamed “HELL YES I WANT THIS NOW”
