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

interesting that the saves still held up, and one of them has a "can't be that bad" clear time under 90 minutes on it, they had 3 (but not all) of the chaos rings so it probably could have been even better

the entry price is (kinda) worth to hear this game in surround sound with a subwoofer

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

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

for #RandomGameSaturday i used an actual RNG (i bet someone hated how i said that) and it gave me the 3rd tetris i've posted in recent memory. oh well
if you can look past the random disney license, it's probably the best vs. battle tetris ever made with a killer masato kouda soundtrack!
