Alien Soldier. In the two years I worked on creating you, I never once tired of you. I’ve thrown my life away on the Megadrive, and gambled it all on Alien Soldier. The only one who can love you because of, not in spite of, your various flaws is me. What, is it unbecoming of a developer to say all this? Well, I want to say what I want to say. Should I not put such things in my game? Can you trust the self-praise of the developer? …Alien Soldier is mine. I don’t care if you believe me! Am I being… strange? Alien Soldier is my beloved, and I’m madly in love with her. Waking, sleeping, I only think of her… “Hey, who do you think you are?!” Call me Nami-sama.

I know I make this post a lot and will keep doing it. Alien Soldier didn’t make the top 100 because I fear it.

Symphony of the Night being a relatively easy game, it’s funny how some enemies have a breadth of moves you won’t see until you fight them again with an esoteric new weapon that happens to be weak on them, like the Icebrand on Frozen Shades. it’s good design i think, upgrades should have surprise side-effects

Just discovered that in Captive 2 the gridless inventory not only forbids overlapping items, to take something out you have to drag it to the inventory’s border so you can’t just fill all available space unless you want to dump half you inventory on the street every time you need a little used item.

(A November 1969 view of Yokota’s newly opened MAC (AMC) Terminal)

Eight months later on 6 August 1964, just days after Gulf of Tonkin Incident that is often considered the beginning of the Vietnam Conflict, the fate of Yokota took a sharp turn in the direction of Indochina. Yes, this was still the Cold War in which Yokota would continue to play its part - the SAC bomber rotations mentioned in the previous article continued for at least a couple of years after 1964 – but in terms of operations much of the base’s focus became increasingly directed at Southeast Asia. As such, on 6 August ten of the newly arrived F-105s, plus ten KC-50 tankers from Yokota’s 421st Air Refueling Squadron were sent to Southeast Asia for combat operations. This was significant, for while fighters had been stationed at Yokota as far back as 1950, during most of the Cold War the base was heavy on bombers and reconnaissance. Now things had changed: Yokota had been transformed almost overnight into a fighter base, and its squadrons would regularly deploy to Southeast Asia for the next seven years.

sometimes I just start to think about the tiny parts of context.

The player character in Star Wars Jedi Survivor will slap his neck as if he is swatting a bug every so often no matter what, I’m pretty sure he did so on that space base around that shattered moon. Rather than have the desired effect I have internalized it as him having a nervous tick from his years of fighting the empire, constantly swatting at imagined threats that are no longer even there.
