I'm pretty sure Neil Gaiman enjoys milk and cookies, he even wrote the story Fortunately, The Milk where a kid goes back in time to get the ever-important milk that his father forgot to pick up.

Does that mean you pulled off being mean to Kim? Of those that have tried, most can't go through with it, and I myself lack the conviction to ever even attempt it.

It's either quite the paradox or that bear's info is out in the open.

In other words, it's either a bear-a-dox or that bear got doxxed.

Without actual gameplay, I'm wondering if they included the video on the cart of them singing along to the theme song with the tennis racket guitar? I know Nintendo put a lot of emphasis on improving the sound capabilities of the GBA from previous models, but am curious how the incredible Night Trap song sounds through the little speaker.

As far as the basic concept goes, they are very similar though there are significant differences in the details that are mostly a blur in my memories except that the actress for Seven of Nine is significantly more attractive than Douglock.

I didn't expect to see Armory Wars on the release list, I'm tempted to check it out! I wasn't sure they would finish out the Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV series but apparently the second issue of the No World For Tomorrow story arc is releasing.

The series has been such an absolute mess but I'm fascinated by the Coheed and Cambria world and love a lot of their music so it's been interesting seeing the characters and the story told in a straightforward way instead of just interpreted through their song lyrics and band interviews. I might wait until it's all done and all the issues are wrapped up into a nicely priced volume but I may just get an issue if reviews say it's good as it goes along .

I know of the Genesis game but never played it (though I do own the newer titles in the series), but did some digging to see what I could find to answer your questions:

Am I imagining this games difficulty? I feel like I am making little progress and I’m always getting ganged up on. / Does this game require a lot of grinding or repeating tasks before moving on?

Everything I'm finding is saying yes to both, with the grinding resulting in the increased money, stats, contacts, equipment and practicing/refining your own strategy for completing runs. Luckily, there are multiple strategies for "quick" grinding, and certain equipment and stats that really help whether it be just straight up powerful stuff or specifically helps to deal with pesky foes like ghouls. Because there are different sections to the grinding with different strategies to doing it efficiently, I'll leave the specifics out since they get a little spoiler-y in case you want to figure it out on your own. But, do let me know if you'd like me to reply with specific strategies that may be seen as too much of a walkthrough or too spoilery for some (they don't seem like gigantic story spoilers or anything so if the grinding gets too tedious and you stop having fun, they might be worth knowing about).

Should I be killing these innocents I see on the street? I try to get shadow runs but they seemingly always involve killing ghouls, which bend me over and spank my samurai butt. I’ve put my morals on hold and have been tediously murdering the population for the little nuyen and items they have.

Luckily the Karma explanation section on the Shadowrun strategywiki actually explains this pretty well. I went through it and it looks like a straight up explanation without story spoilers so I feel comfortable just linking it here for you: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Shadowrun_(Sega_Genesis)/Karma#Karma

-is the samurai class the all-rounder character or should I just restart as a shaman or netrunner?

I found a really good explanation on the Shadowrun wiki: https://shadowrun.fandom.com/wiki/Shadowrun_(Sega)/Archetype. Thankfully this also gives a much needed explanation of the differences between classes without spoilers. It seems like this info is very important to know upfront depending on what your playstyle is like.

As far as the game itself, I did not play the genesis version but definitely looked into it after I got the Shadowrun trilogy that GOG games gave out for free a few years back. From what I found, the Sega Genesis version is superior to the SNES version in a few ways but a lot of people enjoyed both. I really like the style and concepts presented in the series and the newer Shadowrun trilogy seems to have taken all of that and improved on it, with each game getting better and better at giving the experience intended. I'd say it's worth taking a look at if you enjoy the Genesis game, or if you really like the elements of the Genesis game but aren't enjoying it so much, the newer series might be what you're looking for.

Edit: Spelling, grammar and formatting.

Edit 2: Also, here is a link to a PDF of the original game manual for the Sega Genesis version, which helps navigate the UI and buttons, etc., just in case you need it since manuals were kind of a big deal back in the day!

It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other "food hacks" because this is literally a greentext community.

They're probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can't escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:

All my dress shirts have buttons at the wrists but man did I still want a pair of pig cufflinks when I was younger.

This post was solved by @lemonmelon, the song is "Paul Revere" (1986) by the Beastie Boys.

Don't forget the clues, friends! The first clue I provided was that this song wasn't released in the 90s and then got several guesses afterward that were all songs from the 90s. I've only got a few more posts left before I take my leave, it's been fun but I'm usually not on often enough to keep up, so make sure to peep those clues on my final posts!

 

This post timed out without being solved. The answer was "Under a Killing Moon" by Thrice.

The song was correctly guessed by @[email protected]: Johnny Guitar (1954) by Peggy Lee. This is the title track to the 1954 Western movie of the same name, starring Joan Crawford.

Solved by @[email protected], the song is "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" which is probably best known for the 1941 version by The Ink Spots that is used in Fallout games.

Thanks for playing!

 

I loved watching this game. Enjoy the highlights!
