CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Holy shit man. A double perfect KO… I’m still kind of amazed that this happened. It feels awesome. I hope I didn’t ruin the other guy’s night tho! 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Like, I’d like to finish these outfits and find what matches with them. But then I look at the inventory screen and it all just seems like too much of a hassle. (And you can only have four mannequins which kind of sucks. On top of the fact that it took me so long to get them) 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2016 ver.) I appreciate how unique this game is and I’ve had some fun with it, but it really feels a bit like ‘death by a thousand papercuts’. There’s a lot of tedium and frustration here. Decorating your house is cool, but the scoring system discourages creativity 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The deciding match…honestly I just got really lucky here lol. (As you can see im doing my best not to get close cos Zangief can 1-shot me here with his level-3 command grab super. Still not 100% comfortable fighting Zangief but getting better…) 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 30/08/2026First time getting to Plat 3! Probably not for long but I’m glad to be here 110
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Also, check this out. For some reason if you play the capture the flag mode, and select a map other than the first one, you’re forced into split screen view even if you’re the only human player. It’s such a tiny screen 010
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Quadratank (Atari 50) I feel bad for putting this here so soon but there’s really not much to this. It’s kind of unique? But also just really dull. The awkward controls don’t help. Its weirdly particular about what counts as a kill, too- death by explosion (even when firing rockets) doesn’t count 120
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Neo Breakout (Atari 50) The basic levels are fun, but the stages with too many special blocks are a real nuisance. I ended up relying on a lot of glitches and/or exploits to make it through certain levels (glitches, in particular, are pretty frequent and will send the ball through solid bricks) 111
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Flying Shark (arcade) Difficult in part because it’s hard to see what’s going on. Enemies and bullets blend into the background and shots blend in with your own bullets and bombs. Enemies can also shoot you down super quickly! Not one I really enjoyed much. The music is nice tho 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 14/07/2026‘Yeah im thinking let’s have a beach level. Just so the bullets kind of blend in with the sand’ 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 14/07/2026‘Yeah let’s just make the enemies a similar colour to the background. We don’t want the player to see those’ 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Already ranked back down to gold 5 a few times but hey, at least I got to Plat! After a bad losing streak yesterday I finally locked in and tried to be more reactive and considered. I think I’m gonna need to study up on some big combos, and learn how to drive rush…scary! 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Carbuncle Pi (MSX2) Pretty good puzzle platformer where every step needs to be a careful tap (sometimes, at least). Short and sweet, with a couple nasty puzzles towards the end. Very cool game! 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 25/06/2026AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I DIDN’T THINK I COULD DO IT!!! AND WITH AN 11-WIN STREAK ALONG THE WAY!! AAAAAH!! 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 19/06/2026got to silver in ranked matches!! It’s a small step but I’m glad to have gotten there. I’d like to aim for gold next but I don’t know if I’m good enough, lol 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Spinning bird kick might be better in this specific case though- using drive impact to get a wall slam. Need to do more testing… 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Oh damn. This is way better than spinning bird kick, and easier to input too… (Since the first post I’ve also learned that using your super after knocking down the opponent isn’t a good idea, lol) 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Came back for the first time in 3 years, and they immediately made me pull up all 60 or so weeds that cropped up. Lmao 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 16/05/2026‘Go for the world record’ uh, about that… (I’m assuming the maxed out scores are some due to some sort of bug or exploit. I mean, the following scores are SO much lower…) 010
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 16/05/2026New Rally-X is pretty nice. I think I’m slowly discovering that I like maze games 210
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Having some fun figuring out cancellable moves/combos. Not sure how viable this would be but it’s fun to practice putting these together. The super at the end could prob be something better 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Okay maybe this is mean of me but this is absolutely hilarious. What a name! 210
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom (US ver.) I didn’t like this at all, which is a shame because I think the first game is really great. I did cheese my way through 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Final Fantasy (NES) A really interesting game with long dungeons and a unique magic system. It’s pretty cool, and a much better intro to this series for me than bravely default was. I wonder what elements will carry forward to other entries. I feel like the canoe will probably be left behind. 120
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Motesolo: No Girlfriend Since Birth At its best when trying to be comedic and make you cringe, but a bit boring when it’s trying to be serious. Got 4 endings, none of which (even the good ones) were very satisying. It really does have some hilarious moments though! 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Gamma Bros A revisit of a classic shooter (is it a shmup? idk) that still feels fairly unique to me with its Galaxian-like enemy formations. Even a clear might not feel satisfying if you lost one of the brothers along the way It's also free, so if you haven't played it you should fix that 100
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 12/04/2026managed to get a normal clear but unfortunately one brother died to the final boss, so its only a 1BC (1 bro clear). The final boss can get pretty nasty sometimes 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 10/04/2026so apparently they're making a follow-up to yo-kai watch (yay!) but i don't know how i feel about how this looks. The character designs, and also the world just look kind of...off. They do say it still has a long way to go so hopefully that changes, idk. 200
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Yay!! First orb down. Thank god for the instant teleport out of there I barely managed to scrape by that fight lol 110
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Even though it’s quite small, I do really like the little backgrounds (especially the first one) 101
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Aqua Polis SOS (MSX) It’s a decent little game, I just don’t like it that much 110
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 25/03/2026The covers were also just kind of nuts. Like I would stare at each of them for a really long time cos of all the details, not only in the centre image but also on the frame and title 200
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 24/03/2026They also turned the E tank into an energy drink, make of that what you will 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Street Fighter 6 (World Tour mode) A great time for a good while but ultimately needed to be shorter. The Street Fighter characters are a highlight, so it’s a shame they aren’t the main characters here. Looking forward to trying the arcade mode in the future 110
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Iconic to me. I haven’t played 3 otherwise the brain would be here as well 110
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 12/03/2026More insane things: long combo strings in mini games on normal difficulty, lvl 15 jesus, Carlos Miyamoto 000
CactusCorpse @cactuscorpse.bsky.social · 12/03/2026The fact that you can just walk up to someone and electrocute them (because blanka taught you his moves) is insane 100
