Just an hour away from Xegrader Plus dropping onto Steam! A Knightmare-esque adventure RPG shmup from the creator of Hydlide Tokihiro Naito with the help of pixel art extraordinaire SKIPMORE store.steampowered.com/app/4323520/...

BTW, if you need Dreamcast ROMS: archive.org/download/Dre... #Gaming #Emulation #Dreamcast #RetroGaming

See? This is the real problem with vampires: When I eat soup I don't RUB IT ALL OVER.

OK, I've made my way thru the Dreamcast original SHMUP library & below are my findings...

NEO XYX is super hard! #Dreamcast #SHMUP

Continuing my Dreamcast SHMUP journey with TRIGGERHEART EXELICA (2006)

It's my weekend, so it's time to play a whole bunch of SHMUPs & save the universe again. I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar! #SHMUP #STG #Danmaku

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS (1997) is absolutely terrible, but this one scene scared the shit out of me. #Horror #FilmSKy

THEY'RE CALLED "NEWTYPES", COOP. THEY'VE LIVED IN SPACE SO LONG THEY DEVELOPED PSYCHIC ABILITIES. AND THEY'RE ALL AUTISTIC TOO

Checking out Dreamcast Shooter STURMVIND & it's pretty legit. It's like R-Type without all the bullshit. #SHMUP #Dreamcast

I am the musical equivalent of Kier-La's book. Nobody really knows how much I've done in the Extreme Metal and the podcast scene. #CrypTicuS

Just ordered five cases of HOG WATER. This had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Jim Haggerty is The Truth! America!! #InfoWars #AlexJones @theonion.com @realinfowars.bsky.social

I'm loving the new INFOWARS. Finally some Real Goddamn Patriots are spreading THE REAL GODDAMN TRUTH. America!! #RealInfoWars youtu.be/tnz6PTSXiI0

It's my weekend, so it's time to play a whole bunch of SHMUPs & save the universe again. I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar! #SHMUP #STG #Danmaku

I enjoyed OTT gross & gory Thai monster movie OMUKADE (2025) The FX aren't perfect, but some crazy set pieces. Many parts straight-up look like Brutal Death Metal cover art. Slow start but it gets pretty insane by the climax. #Horror

Hellsinker - $4.99. Ogre Run canon. A shmup so alienating towards legibility that even its menus don’t make sense. Imagine Finnegan’s Wake except you can be an androgynous android who’s a DEAD LIAR accompanied by their Mistletoe to explore ruins: store.steampowered.com/app/1067720/...

The combat in this game so far is crazy difficult. It's almost impossible to attack without taking damage.

Uninstalled NOWHERE PATROL after 8 minutes. No default controller mapping, hated the controls. It's a jump and shoot game - WHY does my shot make me DASH also? Why can't I change directions while shooting or jumping? Just to make shit harder?! Here's an idea: Make the jump jump & the shoot shoot.

I could spend the rest of my life *just* playing shmups. It turns out I really don't need another installment of Shareholder Enrichment Simulator!

...OK, I lied. I tried to check out MINA THE HOLLOWER for a few minutes & I got completely pulled in. Dammit.

I just went ahead & bought MINA THE HOLLOWER even though I have no intention of diving into it yet. I'm way too into SHMUPs at the moment, but I'll get there...

CRYPTICUS - Atmospheric, Baroque, Occult Brutal Death Metal. ffo Sinister, Nocturnus & Old Man's Child. Monstrous vocals, Pulp Horror & savage riffery guaranteed. #MetalSky #DeathMetal #Horror BC: crypticus.bandcamp.com/album/cryptm... AmpWall: ampwall.com/a/crypticus

Crazy epic session of STELLA VANITY. My best score so far at 276 MILLION. Finally got to level 6, which is just a savage storm of bullets. This mid-boss devastated my ass! I love this game. #SHMUP #STG

If we're doing piracy discourse this is a reminder that piracy is a term that is meant to preempt discussion about filesharing. If it's piracy, well then, it's already a crime and what we're discussing is whether crime is bad. But people have shared media since forever. VCRs were legal.

This season of House Of The Dragon is going HARD. Holy shit. #GOT

Gotta be honest, never heard ASHENHEART before & was not privy to any of the drama unfolding until now, yet I found that the grifter person, who I've never interacted with, already had CRYPTICUS blocked for some reason?! Good to see my vibes still scare away shitheads.

Just when my bank account starts to heal Gaben puts on another STEAM sale.

DARK SHADOWS is great.

Still watching old episodes of DARK SHADOWS. There's literally 1500 episodes so this is gonna take a while.

Oh no, the most hilarious "comedy" show on TV has ended? Who will make America laugh now?

New #BloodSplatteredVlog! 📽️ This week The Horror Guru & Count Jackula review LEVITICUS! An Australian horror movie about two gay boys who's religious parents place a curse upon them that will kill them if they give in to their desires... #Horror #HorrorSky #FilmSky #MovieSky youtu.be/m_-zFmWUJ3Q

This is very sad for me, because my Mom was my biggest musical inspiration, who got me into playing guitar & becoming a musician, yet she disapproves of my music because I make Death Metal. I was tremendously influenced by the GARY NUMAN & KRAFTWERK albums she played when I was a child. #CrypTicuS

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

🌕 1st Impressions of Dark Scrolls by @doinksoft.bsky.social on #Switch2 tomorrow! 🌕 TLDR from @devolverdigital.com: Dark Scrolls is a fantasy-themed action platformer that fuses shmup-style chaos with roguelite progression & is packed with charm, challenge, & secrets.🤫 youtube.com/live/6-mRSKb...

I'm FORCED to admit I simply cannot achieve anything further in two of my favs: GUNVEIN & DANMAKU UNLIMITED 3! I'm a great SHMUP player yet I simply cannot master these games no matter how hard I excel at them! Some of my best dodging performances ever were spent here only to achieve NOTHING? C'mon!

Hm.

From Hells' heart, I stab at thee! I'm going Pure Ahab, playing the most offensive game I can in DANMAKU UNLIMITED 3. I am not afraid, I walk thru your bullets. Let's GO! #SHMUP

Old Mexican Vampire movies rule so hard.

Crazy epic session of STELLA VANITY. My best score so far at 276 MILLION. Finally got to level 6, which is just a savage storm of bullets. This mid-boss devastated my ass! I love this game. #SHMUP #STG

I had to really take it slow today. 11x17 pen and paper #wip #surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #GrimDark

Of all the Shmup games I'm playing GUNVEIN is one of the hardest to master. I've put so many hours into it, with every type of ship & I still completely SUCK BALLS. I'm still struggling against this game. There really isn't any strategy available besides "GET GOOD & AVOID ALL THE BULLETS."

My generation were changed by hearing NIRVANA but my "Teen Spirit" was ENTOMBED's "Left Hand Path." This song literally changed my life. It's everything I was actually feeling as a teen - The Horror, rot, aggression, atmosphere. CrypTicuS is just a band based on this song. (Sound On!) #EntombeD

Playing behind the liquor store on 6/13. Love how clear the bass is here!! Next show is 7/31 at Tamarack in Oakland.

Folks, this is why I have several terabyte flash drives full of trash Horror movies & old sitcoms. Never trust these bastards.

I know someone out there can hook me up with an EleXfalter demo! Hook a brother up!! #SHMUP

Episode 2. SealBro of XtraSoft, creators of Emerald Blue. youtu.be/f-uOTFvAQIQ?...

Found my old DIABLO 2 CD-ROMs. A complete disc dedicated to just the cinematics. Still got the CD key copy protection.

More Mexican Horror: SANTO & BLUE DEMON vs. THE MONSTERS (1970) is awesome. Santo has a tag team turmoil match against all the monsters! Mexican Frankenstein has a moustache! This movie rules. #Horror #FilmSky
