Taito Milestones 2

The first Taito Milestones compilation was a somewhat baffling collection of titles from the company’s output of the 1980s. Thankfully, this follow-up focuses on a wider era, delivering ten Taito games that do a better job of showing off  a sampling of their extensive library.

Hey! It’s Darius!… 2! Aaaaaannnd a bunch of other games that never made it to the good ol’ U.S. of A. Some may be familiar with The Legend of Kage or maybe an import or emulation enthusiast may have touched on some of these, but I imagine that most of the games on the Taito Milestones 2 collection will be played for the first time by the majority of us out there who decide to pick this one up.

Sick Days 2

[ 1 - 2 - 3 ]

Despite how awful colds can be, it’s nice to see the little gestures of care from loved ones. My own family tended to make me tea, so I’d end up with new mugs accumulating whenever I woke up lol

I hope that anyone who’s feeling under the weather can get that care, and that you feel better soon! Well wishes :)

i desperately wish gw2 had more food-centric lore. i think about asura food more than is probably particularly reasonable. they're sort of implied to like molecular gastronomy in the lvl500 chef quests which is fitting and makes sense, but surely not every asura is eating bespoke Pea Spheres day in and day out right? i think my favorite angle on them is a sort of 50s-80s american-esque food style where there's a huge emphasis on things being Convenient and Scientific, so you'd get a lot of absolute slop tv dinners and canned items that have labels boasting how they were nutritionally fortified and contained your day's complete vitamin intakes and so on. a lot of jellied things. i do also fully believe they would have + eat soylent.
