new review up on shinobi: art of vengeance!
the first in sega's planned revival of several dormant IPs, it's quite a looker, and a lot fun to boot!... but it left me with a feeling of disappointment. is it still worthy of a recommendation?

does anyone remember seeing a recent-ish post about some... high-rank video game studio guy saying something along the lines of "it's impossible to make a good sci fi video game"?
i'm trying to find it again and i can't tell if i'm misremembering the quote or hallucinated this experience entirely

Master System at 40: the truth about Sega’s most underrated console
Forty years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System dominated the markets in Japan and the US. But in Europe, a technologically superior rival was making it look like an ancient relic

did another playthrough of chaotix after several years and i had... more fun than last time, exclusively flinging myself through each level
the timer must not count time spent in special stages cause i needed like 12 tries and did a few wireframe ones. i also had to redo an amazing arena stage lmao

beat starflight after 30-ish hours. i restarted my save 10 hours in cause i wasn't taking notes and fucked my money situation, and this definitely a notes-taking game
it's... interesting. there's a good setting and story in here, and participating in Space Capitalism to avoid the apocalypse is fun

beat elemental master, getting a 1cc after running out of credits to the stage 5 and 7 bosses a few times
it's... fine? idk, i'd rather play a thunder force, but it's still a good time. the graphics and tunes are fine, but it's a shame that the starting weapon is the best in almost every situation

the shitty chromebook i threw ubuntu on for word-processing and website-updating has suddenly started boot looping during it's own bootup, or while idle in the GNU GRUB menu if it gets that far

played two games of pat riley's basketball on genesis, although it's still plenty rough around the edges
the default CPU will counter-steal your swipe immediately, and i had soooo many back court violations from steals that happen at the half line where i don't have an opportunity to stop running
