KEEPING IN THEME WITH THE TIME OF THE YEAR. GHOULS ‘N GHOSTS. NO DEATH. Didn’t think I’d get this one as fast as I did. youtu.be/ejm70igda2k?...

How I feel listening to rrthiel covers

Just saw another tutorial on movement which immediately recommended adding accelto make it "feel good". This is a plague. Ur movement doesnt feel good cuz u put 0 effort into animations & appendages (options, trails, hair, secondary action fodder), not because it's snappy. Lerpslop has to go

Closest a Castlevania boss has come to feeling like something from GnG.

A random internet chud spoke about arcade games positively 20 years ago and turned out to be a crazy racist. This internet beef is so important & formative that I will now shape my whole view of games as a reaction to this individual

Hyper Bun Buster making 1ccs enforced for the arcade mode is truly beautiful.

There's so many bizarre pro status quo takes wrt credit feeding being ok despite the tiny amount of new games that force 1cc's. Those games tend to work just fine for ppl but still there's so few of them that "it won't work" is not even remotely a justified take

No it's not, arcade games have existed & thrived before continues were a thing and some of the most beloved shmups have no continues like Gradius 3. People played them & got good, none of that shit is necessary at all

It's for the benefit of sweats too, literally who the fuck wants to explain for the 50000th time what 1cc's are and why they're valid when giving a game rec, or god forbid talking about how scoring isn't a relic. Over a decade of this bs and the needle barely moved

Yes and that's why arcade games are an extremely poorly understood & overlooked niche despite being insanely important & formative. And that's *AFTER* decades of aggressive grassroots advocacy that picked up the slack for developers who didn't care about the integrity of their own games

I would be shocked if I don’t end up considering Adventure Rebirth the best Classicvania at this point.

Painful review of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on Steam that really highlights how destructive the continue system was to people's perception of arcade games. The beat 'em ups mentioned play wildly different from one another if you're actually trying to survive on 1 credit.

ANOTHER SPOOKY 1CC FOR OCTOBER. CASTLEVANIA: BLOODLINES. EXPERT MODE. NO DEATH. youtu.be/Q6D_LVonCMU?...

Oh 😃

Here's my commentated 1CC of Final Fight (arcade) with Haggar on the hardest difficulty! It's immediately become of my favourite games of all time, so give it a try! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUwx...

i got the final fight 1CC (haggar, hardest difficulty)!!! i'll record commentary later but for now i'm very happy with myself! it's easily my favourite beat 'em up, and it's up there with gun.smoke (arcade) as one of my favourite games of all time. give it a try!

Saying "it's all contextual/it depends" about game design is opting out of having conversations out of laziness (arrogance?), rather than improving The Discourse in any way. If a rule breaks down when applied to specific contexts, those contexts should be presented & explored.

I wanted to stick to the Halloween theming of this month but was feeling in the mood for a bullet hell. What better pick could there be? Here’s my 1cc of DEATHSMILES. youtu.be/LvEAO__g-k8?...

i joined Edvard and Ludvig on episode 69 of their podcast, talking about designing, playing and programming arcade-style games! check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G1g...

it's my birthday so my games are 50% off! this deal used to make more sense a few years ago, back when the steam autumn sale wasn't the week before my birthday! store.steampowered.com/developer/ct... ctmatthews.itch.io

Really hate how many of the GnG Resurrection bosses have these moments where they’re just invincible so you have to wait around with your dick in your hand. Altogether the bosses have this kinda lethargic pace to them.

Last year for October I decided to finally sit down and clear Ghosts ‘n Goblins. Now that it’s that time again, I figure why not go even further? Here’s my no death run of GHOSTS ‘N GOBLINS. youtu.be/j8aW-TKlqEs?...

Its heartwarming to see "Punch a nazi" style millenials here. Its like seeing an animal that would be hunted to extinction the moment you reintroduce them to the wild

You can just do donuts on the lawn of the native userbase here and they just watch helplessly.

You really can come to this site as a Twitter refugee and wail on its native millenial population for EXP

New Blog Post: Why I Love Unfair Traps in Arcade Games People usually dislike hard memo traps in arcade games, or at best think they're "not that bad". I love them, though, and I think arcade games would be worse without them. Here's why: duckberet.com/blog/i-like-... (game: Violent Storm)

The most hardest freakin core era of action games. Yeah, that’s right… the PS2 era…

Hilarious phenomenon on Just Action Games twitter where they’ll invoke values like positioning, crowd control, enemies that “actually freakin fight back 😏” but their go to example is like Dynasty Warriors or a Tales game. 💀

Middle school was a rough time. I had to use my Wii browser to watch Gianna Michaels get bukkaked.
