  • Oh that’s tough! I am awful at shmups, but also obsessed with them. I’ll try to suggest a few

    • Crimzon Clover has different difficulty levels and modes to mess around with
    • I didn’t have that much trouble with Cotton Fantasy (Cotton is a “cute” shmup)
    • Batsugun Special Version
    • Vimana
    • Exo-Calibre is quite easy (this is a cute’em up)

    I’ve probably only played about 30 different shmups, I can tell you that certain classics like R-Type are way harder than most shmups. Same goes for the Strikers games and Raiden too.

    If you have Steam (I don’t) take advantage of the 2 hour return window and figure out if you like horizontal or vertical (Tate) shmups, bullet hell, danmaku, or frantic styles.




  • I finally got one of the Toaplan Collections for Switch (Vol. 1).

    5 of the 8 games are new to me. The 3 that I knew already (Batsugun, Out Zone, FixEight) are the ones I’ve been playing the least. The one I that was excited to try, Dogyuun, is cool but not as cool as the 4 more classic offerings.

    I turn it on everyday and make 3 or 4 attempts at each of the remaining games.

    There are currently too many interesting shooters on sale as well…





  • aligned with the far-right

    They didn’t release the victim’s name initially.

    Why?

    Because he was more than aligned. He marched with the groups. He did the salutes. He was at the front of the parades carrying flags. He was a known neo-nazi.

    I’m against violence. Stating facts is not condoning violence. Quentin was not an innocent choir boy, he was not ambushed in the manner that was originally reported, he was not left for dead; he refused to go to hospital after the fight and didn’t call the emergency services until some time later.
