I'm going to do a history exploration of shmups, like I did with fighting games a few years ago.
I will play all shmups, beginning with the ones in arcades, starting from... 1962. It will allow me to see trends and some influences, and determine once and for all which is "the first shmup to do X".

Wait, the NeoGeo carts have reversible covers ?!?! 😱🤯
The Evercade ecosystem has a massive variety of retro games from different mediums and developers. Something for everyone you could say...
But what is your all time favorite Evercade cartridge? Show us your grail carts below.

"What if the AI hype is correct?"
IDC. I don't want it, I won't use it, and you can't make me be happy about it. My grandparents lived their lives without computers, vcrs, or any music device newer than an 8 track. Not cuz they thought these were bad but because THEY, PERSONALLY, didn't want it.

Pixel Co.ltd's delisting Horgihugh with Friends from the JP Switch eShop & discontinuing related merch from Feb.28: in short, the BGM came from Motoaki Furukawa, who went on to screw them via years of unpaid labour & then counter-sue for emotional damages, so they'd just rather not sell it anymore

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Any other company rereleasing this kind of game would, at the very least, upscale it, rework textures, maybe fix the most egregious bugs. And it wouldn't be the same game anymore.
Anyway when people ask for en masse game preservation this is very much it. Hamster was already the best at what they did with arcade archives and not changing how these games looked. They're doing the same thing with console archives and I genuinely dont think any other company would do this

🧵 I'm starting a new series, called "fuck-you endings in arcade games". I define a "fuck-you ending" as an ending that (1) is a downer/bummer, and (2) is the "main" (non-secret) ending of the game (if applicable). New entries will be added to the thread as I find them [ CW: flashing lights ]
