Zahir noticed that every time he took his shirt off in front of a mirror, he had a euphoric swelling sensation in the vicinity of his pants zipper, and decided to look into it.

Oblique Strategies GB
Oblique Strategies is a deck of cards designed to help artists break up an art block. Each of the 100+ cards contain a possible action to take or a new way of thinking about a creative problem. They were created by artists Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in the 70s and have been updated with various new editions over the years.
This is a port of that deck of cards for Game Boy, for some reason.
It was made by me, Nicky Flowers, as a way to learn how GB Studio works. Turns out it works pretty well! I boot up the ROM on my DMG when I get stuck working on music or coding or really anything where I'm creating stuff. I hope you might find it useful too!

Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies
A set of cards with aphorisms or suggestions meant to prompt a different approach to problem-solving or creative work. For example, a card might say Use an old idea, encouraging the artist to revisit or reinterpret previous concepts.
The idea is to introduce an element of randomness and unpredictability into the creative process, fostering new ideas and breaking away from conventional thinking. Artists often draw a card at random when they find themselves stuck in their work.

It's the process,
not the end result,
that matters.
