My new way to kill time while it's slow at work is reading system11 forum posts from 15 years ago and seeing what they had to say about touhou

Mario kart players are all really bad at their game... 200cc? Why even keep track after that much credit feeding

decided to play one of the newer touhous, and ended up doing UM's extra stage. the snowball effect of power loss is really frustrating, I had 5 stocks left over but I might as well have had 1 with how brutal losing power is in this game

I'll keep saying this over & over - nobody got into shmups to play novice modes. They got into them because they saw Hibachi, Larsa, an Ikaruga double play or something like that. Devs gotta be confident & have a punk attitude & spend less time thinking about novices

Some modern STGs are conscious of possibly being anyone's first arcade scrolling shooter, and bend themselves into knots trying to be an entire genre tutorial before being their own identifiable game.
As ever, make the games/music/videos/writing you'd want to enjoy, and others will enjoy it too.

liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

Working on a shmup that is focused entirely on danmaku with no offensive mechanics is really fun, but also I've been slowly piling up ideas for a proper shmup with lots of weird mechanics...

Backlogged might have the most impressively bad genre tagging of any website. Yeah Ketsui, battlefield 5, cave story, portal 2, super metroid, and worms Armageddon are all the same genre: shooter

Alright it's up! @iwbtgfangames.bsky.social
I'm still deciding on if I want to credit the games in the posts or not, on one hand I want to keep the surreal feel that comes from having zero context, but on the other I do want people who don't know Fangames to check stuff out that looks cool to them.

I'm tempted to make an account on here to dump screenshots/clips from I Wanna Be The Guy fangames that I think are awesome. This community has made a ton of really cool or funny shit and there's a lot of people on here who I think would love seeing it all.

Thinking about Evil Egg's codex, it's honestly a genius way to help the player internalize the idea of "progression" in an arcade style game existing, just only in their own knowledge and experience, rather than part of some save file

Vocaloid has been around longer than the Xbox 360, so you should probably consider adding Miku to your game before adding achievements
