I had never heard of Alien Soldier on the SEGA Genesis. There is a reason.
In North America, it was locked to the SEGA Channel. That was an online service in an era when most people did not even have dial-up. If you did not subscribe, the game effectively did not exist.
Japan and Europe got physical cartridges. North America did not.
I finally bought a legal copy on Steam in 2016. Within minutes, it felt familiar. The controls, the pacing, the combat rhythm. It plays almost exactly like Gunstar Heroes.
That is because both were made by Treasure. This is what they did best on the Genesis.
The difference is difficulty. Alien Soldier is far harsher. Even on easy, it is punishing. It also clearly wants more buttons while pretending the 3-button controller is enough.
Still, it is a strong game. The title is painfully generic. The design is not. If you like Gunstar Heroes and want something meaner, this is worth your time. -

La salute emotiva è legata al rischio cardiovascolare.
In uno studio condotto su oltre 85.000 adulti, le persone con depressione o ansia, soprattutto entrambe, hanno riportato una probabilità significativamente maggiore di infarto, ictus o insufficienza cardiaca.
Un sottogruppo ha mostrato aumentata attività dell'amigdala, stress iperattivo, e infiammazione elevata, tutti fattori noti per danneggiare i vasi sanguigni nel tempo.Curate la vita emotiva!

What will this mean? We're working with extensions to ActivityPub to bring top-tier encryption into the Fediverse - the same industry standard that powers Android, Apple, Discord, and others.
We're aiming to release our first versions mid-year.
#Bonfire and #Emissary are great choices because each is a sort of "application builder" that can be molded to fit many different situations. It's going to be a massive undertaking, but I'm looking forward to the results

@GhostOnTheHalfShell Interesting. Would you call a situation where every city provides services to citizens a "competitive market"?

Soooo... #JustBetweenUs There's already some big stuff in the works for 2026:
The Social Web Foundation (@swf) has kicked off a project to bring real end-to-end encryption to the Fediverse. It's a big undertaking, with real financial backing from the @sovtechfund
Check out the announcement: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
And, I'm very excited that #Emissary is one of the projects selected to participate in the work alongside the @bonfire team.

@evan Yes, but democracy, if it has markets, also requires markets to be competitive, lest powerful actors get so powerful that democracy itself is functionally lost.
