Sometimes I'll have an idea so bad I punish myself by going through with it.

Sunday night movie double bill of Threads and When the Wind Blows 😶

I don't necessarily care to replicate it, I just need to understand what they're doing differently so I can mentally move on

Need somebody to break down in excruciating detail how to do those barely-there mini drifts the high-end players do in Rave Racer. Struggling to break the top 50 in the leaderboards because I'm losing too much speed.

A driving game you can play without touching the brakes, just how I likes 'em.

This doesn't get particularly challenging until the last stage but it was really enjoyable to mess around with. CHQ2 seems to have stopped working for me so I guess I'll try SCI next

🫡🫡 The Punisher (Arcade), 1CC 🫡🫡

Almost bottled it on Kingpin - he's pretty easy to lock down in the corner and fromage to death, but I somehow kept messing it up.

Hoping to do a few scrolling beat-em-up clears this year, never really put much time into them in the past. This was a blast.

🫡🫡 Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein (Arcade), 1CC (Max Difficulty) 🫡🫡

This came and went from Hynd's in Dundee before I could spend any time with it back in the day, but I remember thinking it was cool as hell.

The enemies will kindly spam unsafe stuff for you to punish, like Bilstein here.

Fucking size of Burns here

🫡🫡 The Simpsons (Arcade, JP Version), 1CC 🫡🫡

Played this on the ferry to Calais when I was 7 or 8 and was fully obsessed with it as a kid.

The Japanese version gives you a lot of health pickups and some extremely exploitable weapons, it's a really straightforward clear once you've prodded at it.

🫡🫡 Surprise Attack (Arcade), 1CC 🫡🫡

Really enjoyable take on the Rolling Thunder/Shinobi formula from Konami with lots of upside-down gravity shenanigans.

Lovely wee palate cleanser after a very shmup-heavy year👍
