A collection of images I stored in my computer at some point
This has been the Youtube Screenshot Compilation
This has been the gaming section.
I wanna see if anyone can find exactly which youtube videos and videogame segments the screenshots are taken from.
God that's a ton of hashtags...

it's been really fun to pull fallout tactics lore for dww. i know it isn't 'canon' quote unquote, but there's no fun in that. there's something really funny about the idea of nick thinking well, for all the terrible things that have happened, i bet chicago is holding up and then he finds out the entirety of illinois and wisconsin are brotherhood backed feudal superstates and is like
RE: Sol's Sheer Heart Attack record via @delusionalrobot
I'm so ready to talk about this record all of the time thank you for giving me an excuse.
Ok so in the Overture Material Collection art book there are 50 questions that Daisuke answered in the back and one of them is about Sol's record player:
■Q.08: One of Sol's hobbies is listening to Queen. How does he listen to music while on his bounty hunting journey?
■A.08: Sol listens to them on vinyl, since he is a little fixated on sound quality. So, he carries a turntable in his travel luggage. Since he is a scientist, he developed his own portable phonograph-like player.
(translation by me but RockYou424 translated all the questions over here)
They never actually show his record player in any art but there's this one in the GGX 2000-2007 art book that might be an indication of what Sol's looks like:
Unlike with (American) English, it seems the common Japanese word for record player/turntable has stayed pretty much the same since they were introduced as phonographs and later as gramophones, so I don't know how much weight to give the fact that Daisuke used the kanji for "gramophone/phonograph" (蓄音機) over the katakana for "record player" (レコ"ドプレーヤー). I only mention this because the mental image of gramophone/phonograph vs record player/turntable is a lot different, though the one in this GGX illustration is definitely evocative of old timey technology like vintage phonographs.
There seems to be a way to store items in an invisible space in GG. Sol has a few scenes where he summons his sword or motorcycle out of thin air and I don't think he's ever illustrated carrying bags or anything, which makes me think that he stores all his important things in that space, including his Sheer Heart Attack record. Johnny can steal it from him in Xrd with his Treasure Hunt overdrive though, somehow.
It looks like it even has a butterfly on the label, just like the original 1974 Elekra pressing sold in Japan did/does:
