- - - VENGEANCE IS NIGH - - -
you're part of something greater than yourself, plugged into the machine, riding the kinetic high. you're in the role of predator and the whole world is your prey. over the years, tragedy after tragedy, you and your mech have reciprocally pruned away every instinct besides martyrdom; battle-lust; venge. you know exactly who's to blame. it's not the kaiju - no one knows what they want, where they come from, if they're a singular force or we're just the battleground for a thousand powers beyond our sight.
it's the companies profiting off disaster and keeping pilots in the hole. it's the states deciding that business as usual is somehow okay when the monuments to the dead grow as high as skyscrapers. it's every two-bit pilot who wants the thrill of being a hero instead of seeing behind the facade of the Kaiju Era and the Survival Paradigm.
and something clicks. and the eschaton engine roars. and you feel invincible. you don't bow to alerts and apps. you're here and will not be denied.
*dies in the second level right as everything goes to heck after getting the wallcrawler powerup, despite clearing level 1 without any issues whatsoever and beating the boss in the time honoured fashion of chucking a full powered Force into its chestmouth and then just hammering the firebutton as fast as possible*
ah, just as I remember.
like, seems to be that instead of just bein out on a picnic with your lover like on the nes and spectrum versions, and she gets kidnapped, like, the kingdom is just full on under attack like lasers flying down from the sky and the princess is running towards arthy boy past a whole bunch of bodies of her people and she gets lazered and so does Arty's horse and he falls off and he swears revenge I guess. preeety sure the princess is dead.
actually time to just go through all the games and see which are good. this Coryoon game looks cute as heck? like, you're a tiny cute li'l dragon and there's this princess who you love I guess? but then a wizard shows up and like, shrinks her down to chibi size so you go to kick ass. and it's a nice horizontal scroller shootemup
Time to try out Aldynes, a game where it basically starts like Macross or Gundam where an invading force attacks and has the upper hand and they try to use a set of fighters with the best tech to end the war, but it fails, and the protag's family member finds a top secret FINAL FINAL prototype of the next generation fighter and boards the last one as they're all being destroyed and goes to get revenge.
the twist being...
the protag is a woman :O
really must have been a recent update.
now... how do I set it to use one emulator specifically??
what is going on what is this shit
is reality fucking with my head again??? I KNOW the D-input mode never used to work, was it... did it just need an update to retropie???!
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
