You have played salamander, right anon?

>>6931759
Which one is it where you don't have to fuck with selecting how to use power-ups? Salamander, Life Force, or something else?

>>6931759
the arcade version is so unpolished

news flash...
if you ever "seriously" played a shmup...
your a loser

Shmup players are like mushrooms, feed them shit and keep them in the dark. Not worth discussing or sharing with. The Gregg players were right.

>>6932584
the only highscore that matters... is your bank account...

>when you make the numbers go up too high

>>6932584
>t. can't beat level 2 in dodonpachi

1 or 2 runs per day is enough... 45 minutes total shmup time + 15 minutes for shitposting. That's 1 hour wasted per day.
Anything above that is loser status.

doesn't he play games 8 hours a day and have nothing to show for it? Guys like him have all this free time and they just burn it and piss it away.

many such cases

>>6933505
>>spending countless hours on a single game
Nothing wrong with that. Its called mastery. Did this when i was a child because we didnt have access to 1000 games at once. You had 2 or 3 maybe and then whatever you could rent occasionally.

>>get hand problems by mid twenties
No, im older than that and fine. I use a stick and make sure i play ergonomically. Repetitive motion does not necessitate injury. Hows your thumb?

>>have nothing to talk about with others because your the only person to play that game
Assuming i want to talk to others about it. I dont play a solo game like this to socialize. I dont give a fuck what your score is. Its my own personal hobby and challenge.

>>your dopamine intake is based on increasing numbers no one cares about
Assuming anyone cares about anything else someone does. I dont give a fuck what you accomplish. Its not like dropping 60+ hours on an interactive movie that only requires you to press a button to progress the dialog is any thing greater. I play for myself because i enjoy it.

>>6934292
Facts and logic, tranny

>>6934295
Nice projecting.

Recently gave this game a go and thought it was pretty good. Explosion sounds are a bit grating though.

>>6934296
Was meant to be a dumb joke but your mad response is telling lmao

>>6934272
>> tfw you cant project anymore of your self loathing onto someone else

>>6934310
Who are you quoting? I read the entire thread and couldn't find your post, care to explain?

This is you on shmups, trannies

>>6931729
Whats up with Mark lately? His shmup junkie episode about input lag made it sound like he is changing his mind. SJ made some cringy videos and hes not completely wrong, but input lag is something devs should do their best to minimize. Just because you can play with lag doesnt mean you should want to. If a company release an emulated rom with horrible lag and no additional features that should be called out as shit. Maybe i misread what he was saying. I just hope he isnt turning toward the sick grab crowd.

>>6934228
>Repetitive motion does not necessitate injury
That's why it's called REPETITIVE STRAIN. go and pretend your degenerate hobby isn't the easiest way to get it. that's literally how you get it, by getting worked up over increasing numbers

>>6934318
I will never understand the point of these pics, RSI can happen to anyone if they regularly use their hands. Shmups are pretty harmless compared to, say, playing piano or drawing, and it's always good to make sure your arms are comfortable and your posture's good before you do something.

>>6934334
>Whats up with Mark lately?
>Input lag and SJ and sick grab and horrible lag and cringey videos and changing his mind and episodes

>>6934335
If you think shmups are the easiest way to get RSI then you clearly don't do anything that requires hand dexterity besides controlling gay elf. Even within video games, just about any genre that uses mouse + keyboard will strain your hands harder than shmups

>>6934338
Wrong RSI happens to mentally challenged children who throw temper tantrums over their numbers not increasing well enough and therefore straining for world records in their arbitrary competition of picking boogers while roller skating with 2 other lifeless trannies they spend countless hours chatting it up on tranny discords

>>6934338
Dont try to understand. These people are retarded. They literal press the same button reptitively all day long to progress through dialog and "beat" a game, then turn around a try to say someone elses repitive motion is harmful.

Literally retarded.

>>6931759
Salamander 2 is better
>>6932123
Life Force

>>6934348
You couldn't be more wrong. See actual hand dexterity activities don't place all the strain on the tendons responsible for minute movements. That's why starcraft players wreck their limbs so badly. You can also look up how keyboard use exacerbates injury over typewriters.

>>6934351
You stupid faggot, the "strain" doesn't refer to getting mad or whatever the fuck lmao. Computer/office workers often have to deal with RSI because they type all day, you think they just press their keys extra hard? Fuck outta here

>>6934351
Calm down anon it's just a game

>>6934361
What point are you making?

>>6934362
The "strain" refers to, that's right, straining as you push your fragile tendons to get the numbers to go higher. That's how it works dipshit, you compete, push yourself, and try hard to "succeed" at your arbitrary tranny activity. That's how you get fucked up.
>Computer/office workers often have to deal with RSI
Computer/office work is the most prevalent activity worldwide. Of course you'll find RSI problems. Now compare the numbers to niche tranny hobbies where you are 100x more likely to get carpal tunnel.

>>6933505

>>6934376
>Now compare the numbers
Sure, post the stats let's compare it to other strenuous professions and other video games

>>6934376
>>6934361
>>6934362
>>6934351
sounds like some retard is arguing with himself for no reason

All the Gus hate in this thread is just sociopathic cream and saph butthurt because the scene HATES them for that disgusting doxxing they did.

>>6934381
>strenuous professions
You already compared it to office work, which is not at all strenuous and odds are if you picked random 100 pencil pushers vs 100 starcraft pros none of the former would suffer from strain problems other than postural. Because pencil pushing does not lead to the same circumstances where strain objectively happens (stressful competing).

>sees shmup thread

what has gay elf turned you into?

>>6934393
Catch a brother up on this. I keep seeing it but no idea what your talking about.

>>6934396
Take 100 random shmup players and put them against 100 typists and none of the former will have serious RSI issues outside of postural as well, because shmups do not stress your hands very much compared to quick typing

>>6934378

Based discord poster

>>6934404
long story short, shmup trannies being trannies.

>>6934405
Typing ≠ competitive typing. Stop comparing apples to oranges. The entire argument is your wasteful timesink of a degenerate hobby centered around paedophilia only leads to crippled pillow arms.

>>6934414
That doesnt help.

>>6934393
aren't those people long gone by now?

>>6934416
Any action video games can lead to "crippled pillow arms" because video games put strain on your hands or arms, I don't see any evidence what so ever that shmups are uniquely dangerous in that regard, especially when you have competitive FPS and RTS around. Even fighting games are vastly more dangerous because of all the quick mashing you have to do, shmups by comparison let you relax and mostly focus on movement, unless you're playing dadshit.

Give up tranny you know you are straining your hands to keep the wankfest of the number game going. It literally doesn't get more degenerate than pretending your wasteful paeophilia has any reason beyond staving off the inevitable suicide. Grow the fuck up tranny manchild

I'm gonna guess he's caving to the shitch trannies.

>>6934479
This might just be, dare I say it, the one shmup in existence that's worth playing.

>>6934334
Think he was just trying to get where the guy was coming from for the sake of bridge building, doubt he's gonna walk back on his stance on input lag. Like it or not, grabbers like SJ are a substantial part of the genre's fanbase and are likely more profitable than most players.

is there a way to filter 4chan posts by keyword? if i got rid of all the 12 year olds calling each other tranny and zoomer this board might actually be readable again

>>6934475
Well I can't be a tranny because you're a tranny.

The funniest part of that is the idea of trannies in a war setting. The only war they'd ever engage in would be for meanest twitter comment.

The complete lack of fucks given about the DS2 port is honestly amazing.

Quick, recall your first shmup 1cc. What was it like?

>>6937570
Espgaluda. Felt good. Really didn''t think I could survive that last pattern, but suddenly it just clicked.

>>6937570
Touhou 8 in easy mode, man what a masterpiece. The last boss was impossible but I managed to bomb my way through.

>>6937570
Deathsmiles, Rosa 1cc. Score was shit but getting that first 1cc really motivated me.

>>6937570
Touhou 8 on normal
Almost double KO'ed to last boss, but thankfully game gives you iframes during boss death animation

Touhou 8, great fun. My pronouns are her/them

Any recommendations for shmups with shops? I'm talking about games such as Tyrian, Stargunner and Raptor Call of the Shadows where you had a shop between stages where you could buy weapons, components and different ships.

Hey buddy, just giving recommendations. No one (and I mean no one) wants to hear your fucken life story.

Is Gradius V worth picking? The series is good but apparently this one was made by Trashure so idk.

>>6939339
play alien soldier, you'll have more fun than that series

Gradius V is fantastic. Plays smooth as butter.
