ルビーちゃん<p>Finally was able to get the full version of Voidblazers!!! </p><p>I'm excited to play it and am installing it right now.

Ishambard<p>It occurred to me, as I was yeeting marbles and avoiding even the tiniest scratch on my unusually sized rodent body.</p><p>Typically, I say that my pattern recognition is pretty awful, hence why I am bad at SHMUPs. I now don't think this is necessarily true.<br>Admittedly, the SHMUP library of games I have played is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things. Lots of Touhou and a smattering of other games.</p><p>I think my issue and where I struggle with SHMUPs is that there is a lot going on. Visually, auditory, etc.</p><p>I just can't take it in and cut out the useless noise to focus on what is important.</p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/SHMUPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SHMUPs</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a></p>
