I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Fell in love with the water color paintings @horribletales.bsky.social did of the DOJ ships. Printed one out on magma holographic paper which I feel really accentuates the water color textures. #shmups #STG

This sentiment is just…factually incorrect. Nothing about bullet hell makes them fundamentally more difficult than traditional shmups, and in fact many are actually easier because of slower bullets and smaller hitboxes. Also, despite being a “big fan” of Ikaruga and RS, he’s never played them?

First time making it to Hibachi in Black Label! With Exy no less! Of course I flubbed it immediately with two bombs stocked still, but am happy to have reached here nonetheless. I really need to practice stage 4 (the trains especially) and stage 5 (beehive section) more.

Name 4 games with a 10/10 soundtrack
Weirdly these are just the first ones that popped into my head. Didn’t want to go too crazy on shmup soundtracks though.

Didn’t grind and save-state practice this enough to really even get close to a 1cc when I got to play on cab today, but real run practice is always good. Organically discovered how you get the first boss to drop two hyper medals which was cool.

The shmup that established my love for the genre. An all-timer, a goat, a beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack, and has an amazing scoring system. My number one recommendation for people looking to get into arcade-style bullet hell.
Blue Revolver by indie dev @tinydanbo.bsky.social is one of the best shmups around and it just got a big update called DOUBLE ACTION! Big 51% sale to celebrate. Check out this STG on Steam and Itch!
