The app ‘tenuto’ is pretty good & useful, not sure if you read music or not but the ‘sketches for..’ books are good and there are lots of creative ideas in the advancing guitarist too. Hit me up if you ever want any shortcuts or to bounce ideas 🤘

Post call - got some wonderful stickers for my ‘mobile arcade station (wip)’™️ Some parodius, legendary wings & streets of rage - what an awesome service @joypadlad.bsky.social provides (not just saying that cos they called me rad promise 😅). On the lookout for more shmup stickers! #shmup #stickers

November is turning into shmup month of the year for me: cleared sdoj, birdcage out today & schildmaid mx coming to consoles next week. Loving it!!!

Sorry but the cats & @musicweeklies.bsky.social made me do it 😅 #catcafechaos #m8tracker #cats

Cheers, yeah I can’t wait for birdcage, and schildmaid mx v3 is out on consoles really soon too - lots to go at! I keep trying to get into tactics games but I’ve still not found one that has ‘stuck’. These are the ones I bounced off (probs too quickly), any worth revisiting? (Cleared FE & ITB tho)

Finally got the 1cc of DoDonPachi SaidaiOuJou on stream this evening 🥳 Still up now as I can’t sleep from excitement 😅 Been such a long journey with this game, so enjoyable but tough as nails! I had some great support from the community, so happy to get it 🤘 #sdoj #1cc #shmup #stg

Took this random hit earlier onstage 5 too… 😭

Getting closer to the SDOJ clear. 3 bombs at this point (last boss) would have been possible (but unlikely), however I caught a pattern right to the face so didn’t get chance to try… so close! #stg #shmup #sdoj

Damn that SDOJ stage 4, no deathed up to to it twice yesterday on stream… then this.. . twice. 😭 #sdoj #shmup #stg

I’m just about the shmups.. ahem…. and mahjong 😅

Practicing a new 6 bomb ‘foolproof’ strat for the stage 5 last boss of DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou. 30 mins of practice and I only got it once. The joys of gaming! #sdoj #stage5 #strats #stg #shmup

Quick spooky(ish) ditty on Deflemask Mobile for the muwee prompt ‘When Midnight Rings’ - created on the Megadrive soundchip for fm & pulse wave goodness 🤘 @musicweeklies.bsky.social #whenmidnightrings #deflemask #chiptune #tracker #megadrive #sega

Soon they’ll start charging us to filter out the Artificial Inanity… dammit when sci-fi foretells the shit stuff right

Read your reply on filling up your meter and then using rampage mode, got me tons o points! Made it to the ‘final’ stage on the switch port this evening, skipped the two stages either side of it for now! 227,482,289 my high score for now

Got a few Halloween shmup 1ccs on my flight home today featuring Cereal Witches (Hazlenut Hex), Bullet Hellscapes (SDOJ Novice), and Body Horror Nightmares (Angel At Dusk). Pretty chill clears, but improved some scores and had a blast. #stg #shmup #halloween

Here’s my entry to last week’s muwee challenge #thenightcrawlers Back to Deflemask Mobile tracker for this one. Created using the sega megadrive soundchip, gotta be my joint favourite alongside the gameboy for chiptunes 🤘 #muwee #chiptune #megadrive #ym2612 @musicweeklies.bsky.social

Ran along the appropriately titled ‘Ran de Mar’ today. Overcast but lovely #jog #outdoors #hols

Nice one! Got through to stage 4 with Miyamoto, 375,200

Sorry for butting in but there’s a waterfall boss appearance in raystorm that’s pretty iconic
October 23, 2025 at 4:54 PM
Improvements were made! 573k
October 5, 2025 at 4:40 PM
Very interesting game! Normal mode is kicking my ass, managed 390k. That was me scraping through to stage 3…

Put the sdoj grind on hold to play the birdcage demo and wow! The sword feels as cool as it looks, the music by is sooo good and I had an absolute blast playing around with the normal mode demo. Now I can’t wait for the full game! #shmup #stg #birdcage

Up at 5am to do a long run before work, felt like a little adventure. Really cool to see bits of Manchester totally empty, might run through more of the city next time #jog #outdoors
