Raiden screenshot with commentary. "The Hard Part:
- A bunch of turrets appear. Stream (repeatedly tap) from left to right until they're destroyed.
- A turret will appear on the left, and another on the right. Be careful that the right one doesn't shoot you from close range.
- The left side of the stage is swarming with tanks. Don't scroll too far left.
- Two tanks will spawn from the central building. Take them out from the bottom right corner.
- Then it's time for The Maneuver.

While mot the only place you'd find cabinets, the context of the arcade itself is important. These games expect to be surrounded by competitors. So while a ruthless place, arcades were at the same times one of the most honest places to play games. The most you can steal from a player is one credit.

hence my longstanding joke that indie games people love signing NDAs more than they love anything else. possessing privileged connections and information is the primary reason for existing, all the stuff about being an inclusive space or expanding the artistic boundaries is just a side thing.

a lot of games people, especially in the indie space, prize their different connections and cliques they belong to above everything and anything else. it's all about who you have proximity to, and making sure that information is kept away from other people. you can't make an industry out of that.

imagine if you're using a really cheap combo or strat in a fighting game and then a patch comes and they keep it in but it auto breaks after the first 5 inputs and then the game personally shits on you for it. oldhead MK was funny as shit LOL

i think the funniest fighting game balance change ive ever seen is in the formerly-rare umk3 wavenet rather than removing the base umk3 infinites by nerfing chars, instead they kept them in but added a cap to total moves in a combo. if u try to infinite still, the game makes fun of you, LOOOL

The GenAI epidemic spreading across retro gaming circles exposes something: Making the scenes unfriendly to queer/trans/furries by giving a pass to unpleasant people and bigots in the past has left them without the networks of creators LGBT-friendly communities have access to and self-support with.

I think it's important to say that this isn't 'AI bros' infiltrating the retro gaming scene or to do with AAA games companies CEOs being awful, but regular people in those communities saying 'I'm going to use this tech anyway, I don't care about the consequences' even after they've been informed.

Watched an El Santo movie and I htink the funniest thing to me is that he's simultaneously played as a detective superhero yet he's also still an in-universe wrestler, so he has to pause the plot to go wrestling three separate times

Prince- but withing three months, ninety percent of rescued princesses are back inside a tower

Panel 3
Prince is really narrating this one now
Prince- at 'staircase down' we believe real change comes from accepting you're part of the problem

panel 4
Prince- and that's the most difficult part of the journey

panel 5
Princess- apart from the fire breath
Prince- The what?

Panel 6
Princess breathes fire, incinerating prince

Panel 7
Princess stands over smouldering prince skeleton
