Hey, how about that. I'm more or less back on my intended routine.

I have to say, after putting together three consecutive 15-minute-plus Final Fantasy II videos, these past couple of projects have felt like a breeze.

Also, Darius Twin is pretty good! Simple but effective.

Darius Twin retrospective: Sashimi-grade shooting | Super NES Works #023

Taito arrives on Super NES with a splash. Well, it should be a splash... you know, because of all the fish bosses. But they're actually in outer space? Darius is weird. But that's OK, because this Darius balances its quirkiness with the silkiest, smoothest action yet seen on the console. It's the cure for the common slowdown, and all it took was... not using any of the console's unique hardware features. Oh well!
