What the hell even if that thing and what game is it supposed to be for? It looks like punched cardboard so I’m guessing it was bought and maybe assembled instead of being scratch-built.
This would play just fine in a snap-in (like a Discman) or tray loading CD player. It might give slot loaders some trouble but it looks like it still describes most of a 120mm circle so it would probably work fine in those as well.

The real problem with these novelty shaped disks is when you stick them in a fast PC CD-ROM drive, they’re usually badly unbalanced and when your drive dutifully tries to spin them at 8,000, 15,000, or 20,000 RPM when it indexes the disk or when someone tries to copy it – not outside the realm of possibility for a commodity 40x drive – the disk will warp and vibrate like crazy and in some cases eventually crack and then outright explode inside the drive.
I once had to disassemble somebody’s drive and tweezer out the sparkly bits of a Ranma 1/2 CD that I discovered, when rearranging the pieces back together on the workbench like a jigsaw puzzle, was one of these damn novelty disks that was shaped like Ranma-chan’s head. The largest fragment left over was smaller than a dime, and surprisingly the drive still worked after I unjammed it and got all of the glitter out of it ultimately using compressed air.
These were uncommon, but not unheard of. For instance, Metallica also infamously released this fucking thing:
You see, I, too, was once an awkward nerdy middle school girl and the go-to move for showing a guy you liked him was to get way into one of his hobbies.
Agreed. My ex learned how write software for the ti-84 calculator because I was REALLY into it. Girl found her way in. Smart lady, I miss her sometimes.
I heard this story from a third party, so I can’t prove it’s true, but supposedly the head of IT security at a previous job met his wife when she compromised his home network to get his attention.
Girls are nerds too. They won’t admit it if you make it dangerous to do so. Like say, gatekeeping, calling them not true fans, pretending they don’t exist and leaving passive aggressive remarks when someone shares a story involving one.
These are the sort of things that jr developers love to make jokes about that get tiring so quickly. Same thing as someone naming their new project something like “Project Mordor” or something. Fun for about ten seconds, annoying for the next ten years.
Instead of helping a fan who needed to know, you got a 10 second joke out, and now whenever someone googled it that will pop up making it frustrating.
A senior engineer would say:
In the balls. (But for real it’s Documents/Saves/MyGame.sav)
I’ve seen girls at locals too so it’s not entirely impossible.
It’s just uncommon, much like anything else. Especially so for Yu-Gi-Oh because it’s simply not as popular as it used to be (especially when compared to Pokemon or Magic).
My ex and I had so much shit in common it was unreal. We were both miserable and living in hell.
My wife and I have very little in common and we get along swimmingly. It’s actually crazy how much we get along.
She laughs at my nerdy interests and can’t relate to them at all, but she admires the things about me that she can’t relate to and I am the same with her.
Our egos don’t get in the way of anything between us. We don’t bump heads about common interests because we don’t have a pile of them. We’ve actually been able to show each other things we wouldn’t have encountered without each other over this last decade (roughly).
We aren’t exactly opposites because we share political and religious (or lack thereof rather) views. We don’t have many common interests though.
Sometimes I wish I could make her understand this or that about me, and she feels the same way. We make it though.
Based on my experience with my ex, if I found myself single and I met a woman with too many of my interests, I’d run.
I’ve known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They’re just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.
I’m thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn’t get creepy about the opposite sex.
