I need to stop posting and emerge from the darkness when I have my gradius 10 million. Goodbye

State A fans vs State B enjoyers

I built my empire on being unable to distinguish between State A and State B. And you dare try to topple it

It is objectively bad to feel confusion, sadness, or pain

i looked up what j blow actually said about derelict star because i keep thinking about it, this is the snake oil "game designers" are trying to sell you! fuck design

gender transition is like nintendo games, i was still pretty into them in the early-mid 2010s and had a good time with odyssey and botw but now i see stuff like donkey kong bonanza and mario kart worlds or whatever and i'm just not interested anymore. know what i mean

hot diggity dog now that's the kind of recovery i like to see!

boards of canada isn't canadian?!

HUH?? i think it already happened but there was some kind of sylvie lime race??

here's my list of correct game design opinions and here's a copy of the list in case you throw it in the trash

i tried to post "hot diggity dog now that's the kind of recovery i like to see!" but the train wifi was too slow to upload my gradius recovery video. i'm being censored

experiencing a golden age of Grogu in film and television.

My Gradius skill is declining, even though I try to practice every day. Or maybe it was always an illusion.

leading cause of gradius deaths hour 0-100: getting sniped from behind by an enemy flying offscreen hour 100-200: recovering after running into a wall hour 200+: recovering after trying to do a strat you saw another player do that looks easier than your strat

as an english speaker who learned a bit of french growing up because canada, french marketing copy always sounds really funny to me. i just saw a billboard that said something like (translated) "the rare pearl, it is not rare here" ?? it always feels like there are too many words

i'm a kittensheep....

repost if you #remember

quick, before the sylvs find out....

need a gradius app that gives me a live feed of who's playing gradius, current score and what stage they're on, and i can tap the name to watch their stream

i think the train wifi has some kind of filter that specifically blocks twitch from loading which is kind of funny. my gaming streams....

the eu version of nemesis feels basically the same as jp gradius (unlike na nemesis which has a bunch of fucked up changes) but there's one good comedy moment for the fans

i wish i could watch people play gradius on train wifi, but i'll have to settle for playing it myself....

Have you considered that Gradius is a funny game you can play?

i had to pause my gradius game to wait in line for a train, now i'm very warm, and i want to play gradius.

my new gaming crank position is becoming one of those "i don't read first person books" people but for games

posting this video so i remember my strategy for this checkpoint like the guy from memento if he played gradius

yeah? thats awesome

POV: He thinks this growl is terrifying

writing my core game loop on a whiteboard

Googled "my liege" to make sure I spelled it correctly and was met with grotesque cringe

i need to become nice sylvie im going to get myself in trouble if i keep making fun of friction guy

my toxic brain is going to think "learn to value purposeful friction in games" every time i see stuff like this now

gradious..

So called free thinkers when back itchy

obsessed with "learn to value purposeful friction in games" lol like i'm a huge "friction" enjoyer but it doesn't make you a better person

“Parlor Ornament”. Postcard from my collection, 1906.

laughing at little baby tanks on the fire escape

Battle Traverse devs knew the memo when their background artist showed them fire escapes and random walkways

opened the shmups category on twitch and immediately saw a diagonal formation of tanks in a stream thumbnail, he was on that shit like fromsoft miyazaki with poison swamps

if you are developing a STG and you read this you are obliged to add at least one bridge with tanks on it right now in honour of IKD

suddenly remembering that twitter brand guidelines page that was full of stuff like "you may NOT rotate the Twitter™ bird logo more than 10 degrees"

You’ve made the strongest angry…

i'm so hongru....

the gradius thinkabouter

seeing the game salamander alway make me get deco 27 salamander stuck in my head..

who likes gradius (applause, cheering) who wants to watch me play gradius for an hour and forty five minutes (applause dies down, awkward murmuring) youtu.be/oXg9iN64O7s

This pattern is useful for the Stage 4 boss on higher loops, because it deals with all the threats using Laser, while also putting you in a safespot position for the Big Core. I used to switch to Double here to kill the hatches but the Stage 5 starfield is more dangerous without Laser.
