beat x68 castlevania earlier. i've only ever played original mode once on chronicles and never tried it again. kinda why i asked about the whole modified rom situation cause i wanted to play the game again but on the actual system. still evil! it's good but comically evil with those damage values

beat bravoman. probably one of the longest arcade games i've ever played but it's a super soulful game so all is forgiven....

after finally getting that ng1cc out of the way, i decided to give ninja gaiden 2 nes another shot after my thoughts on it the first time being *pretty* negative. i'm glad to say that on replay, it's actually pretty alright to me now
a backloggd journal log showing the box art and title for the game "Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (1990)" with a 3.5 star rating a backloggd journal note that goes as follows: "i feel like i must've been a moron playing this the first time. it's not bad? it's actually alright. i might even find it a solid "good" on a 2nd replay. i'm currently unsure even if i should give it a 3.5 or 4.0 but i'm going with a 3.5 for now. the final boss is ass. you don't get sent back as far as ng1 but like jeeeeesus that's much preferable when ng1 heals you fully between phases. i think the level design is interesting with how it's trying to propel you forward through the stage's gimmicks (snow, water, ice, etc.) as opposed to the way ng1 allowed you to just go fast with good practice. obviously the latter is much better, but i can kind of respect this game for what it's going for, as it still requires the player to be good at the stage design to get through them even faster using said gimmicks to their advantage. the level design isn't always exactly the best but it's still overall good, and things like the snow/lights out stages as well as certain bosses (not counting the final one) were nowhere near as much of a problem as they were the first time. i sort of just... went through them no problem for the most part. music is strange in this game, it's good but also empty feeling with how it doesn't make much use of its instruments across the channels. sub weapon & ammo mechanics here are also interesting, i don't mind them. i kind of like the increasing ammo cap across the game and how this game is more centered around weapons generally. after images are a fun idea but ultimately not used anywhere as well as they could be. enemy placement also isn't as tight but still works out usually, it can even get really tough, more so than 1 but i might just be too brainrotted over ng1 to give any sort of sensible judgement."

worthless babble only rpg-heads would care about. probably one person at the most
trying to think about turnbased rpgs and the culture around them fucks me up a lot. on one hand, i could say it permanently rests on this line where both its haters and fans, no matter how loud, more often than not do not actually understand anything about them. it feels like a genre that is often enjoyed much more through the idealized aesthetic / "idea" of what an rpg is, rather than like... actually sitting down and playing them. on the other hand, i'm not even entirely sure if I can blame people for having such widely different priorities when wanting to play one of these. i'm not sure if saying that it's the genre's own fault for bringing it upon itself would be the correct choice of words here, as it's just such a difficult type of game to make, more than one would initially think. there's so much to take into account that it leads me to believe that maybe i'm the wrong one. am i ever going to agree with the people who view rpgs as visual novels+? with people who think timed hits and adventure game esque puzzles seriously and inherently enhance the gameplay of an rpg? or with people who think only combat matters, story and everything else can be worthless? no, not at all. but i think that the sheer complexity and abundance of this genre makes it kind of understandable why so many subsections of rpg enjoyers exist, and that these games all serve their own purpose. i may not ever shake the feeling that people just do not really like What An RPG Is all that much, but i can, at the very least, sympathize as to why now. i used to be there at one point i also mention turnbased rpgs specifically because i think the culture around them and wildly differing opinions about them is infinitely more intense and prevalent here than in tactical or action games. anyway this is today's pointless lina ramble nobody's even gonna read (i don't blame you). silver the hedgehog is quite cool. you should tell me if you feel the same if you actually read any of this

the current state of my dq5 playthrough. spoilering just in case? i have no idea if this site just has a simple spoiler function rather than having to attach it to the adult/graphic label
two notes on backloggd's journal system for dragon quest 5 that goes as follows: Oct. 26th - "how is she already close to giving birth dude she just met us" Oct. 27th - "6 fucking years. i would have actually killed everybody as soon as i woke up"

replaying this on famicom has left me wanting to replay it on megadrive immediately after just to hear its music again. without a doubt one of the best soundtracks on the system. it's kind of surprising it doesn't get more attention
