Shadow Man: 2econd Coming is an underwhelming sequel.
It ditches everything I love about the first one and turns it into a linear action game. Mike, Nettie, Jaunty got ugly redesigns. The story is lame. Music is still good.
I want to like it, but it's rough.

Fun fact! In March of 1891 a group of wealthy victorians organized what could be the first sci-fi and cosplay con, the "Vril-Ya Bazaar and Fete", held at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
It was based on the 1871 sci fi novel "The Coming Race". It had stands, people in costume, themed decor...

Blippo+ is a neat idea. A "non-game". It simulates channel surfing through wacky 90s cable TV from an alien planet.
It reminds me of the acting in 90s videogames like Command & Conquer and Resident Evil, in a good way.
It's nostalgic, even though I never cared much for TV except cartoons as a kid.

I'm a silly goose for laughing about this logo.

I was talking with a friend about Sony MiniDiscs. I made a typo, "Minidic Player" and we started laughing. Then I was reminded of this clip. :P

Hope you're all doing well.
I was kinda down recently. Didn't have much energy with the dull, dark winter days. But we've got a few days of sunshine coming and it really lifts my mood.
I'll go on a walk. Later I'll play Parodius SNES with a friend.

![Parodius Non-Sense Fantasy (aka Parodius Da! ~Shinwa kara Owarai e~ [パロディウスだ! －神話からお笑いへ－]) released for the Super Nintendo in Europe in 1992 by Konami. Originally released in Japan in 1990.
I was lucky to get this game with my SNES in Germany as a kid. It was my introduction to Konami shooters, and I couldn't have started with a better one. It only released in Japan and Europe, making it one of the few PAL exclusive Western releases)
A silly horizontal shooter (shoot 'em up / shmup) featuring lots and lots of penguins and wacky covers of classical music. It's a parody of Konami's own Gradius / Nemesis series of shooters, featuring the same gameplay and power up style.
You can play as Vic Viper from Gradius (Gradius Weapons), Tako the Octopus (Salamander / Life Force Weapons), TwinBee (TwinBee Weapons) and Pentarō the Penguin from Arctic Adventure (Gradius III Weapons).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pus6vyy3vxn7od4e6mqphkqd/bafkreibp5r6nqmgmmy7imxeico7rejyrfkdyx3m6uob7lzxc3uvhgij5hi@jpeg)

Here's a folk revival performance of King Orfeo (Skoven Årle Grøn) by Danish scholars Thomas Bredsdorff and Anne-Marie Mai at a sing-around in Denmark in 2009.
Many people don't like bagpipes. But they can be effective in the right setting.
I love this recording. Sadly the tape ran out at the end.

This song fascinated me since I was a teen.
King Orfeo or Skoven Årle Grøn is a folk song retelling of the Greek legend of Orpheus. It has verses in Shetland Scots and a refrain in Norn, the extinct Scandinavian language of Shetland and Orkney.
Here it is sung by Kitty Anderson of Lerwick in 1955.

Folk songs, riddles, sayings and place names from Shetland and Orkney still contain traces of Norn, an extinct Scandinavian language spoken before the islands were pledged to Scotland by Norway in 1468–69.
The Unst Boat Song is entirely in Norn. Here it is sung by Kitty Anderson of Lerwick in 1955.

Here's Ewan MacColl singing a traditional pirate ballad, Captain Ward and the Rainbow, in a recording made by Alan Lomax in 1951.
Ewan was a ballad singer par excellence. A 10 LP series of Child Ballads, The Long Harvest, he recorded together with Peggy Seeger was my introduction to ballad singing.

Ewan MacColl (1915–1989) is one my idols. Born in England to Scottish parents. Theatre actor, socialist, folk singer, one of the originators of the 1960s British Folk Revival. Married American folk singer Peggy Seeger in 1977.
Here's Ewan & Peggy performing "Johnny Sangster" live in Dublin in 1978.

Willie the Weeper is both a folk song and a jazz standard. I'm fascinated by it.
One of the earliest, if not the first song about drug addiction. Willie smokes opium and indulges in strange dreams.
Cab Calloway's Minnie the Moocher from 1931 is based on it. Here's a 1945 performance by Sam Hinton.

Nightdive Studios' Shadow Man Remastered is an excellent remaster but not without minor nitpicks.
A small number of graphical effects are missing, such as underwater red fog and the sun lens flare effect.
I also noticed that zombies mumbling to themselves are barely audible now which is a shame. 🦊

I made a vegetable soup and it was a ton of work but turned out really enjoyable and it'll last me for two or three days. Hooray.

In a moment of weakness I bought a Steam Deck OLED.
It was collecting dust and I had regrets about buying "the same console twice". But now the beautiful display is growing on me.
I'm using the LCD version docked as a PC and the OLED as a handheld. 🦊

I have this song stuck in my head after watching someone play a weird fangame called Jumbo Mario:

It's a MIDI cover of Kate Bush - Army Dreamers from 1980
I like it because it has a waltz rhythm.

DuckStation is an amazing PS1 emulator. It's so fast.
Look at the framerate I can get in the notoriously bad Shadow Man PS1 port with overclocking set to 450%.
It's crazy. I can make it run butter smooth.

An enhanced version of Shadow Man for Nvidia GeForce-256 graphics cards was worked on by Acclaim for a few months in 1999. It was cancelled.
A WIP build was discovered in the Duffy Collection: hiddenpalace.org/Shadow_Man_(...
By copying its data folder into the regular PC version it can be played.
