any tgm you can play is the best game you'll ever play, and the second game, The Absolute, is perhaps their peak. check out my review in the link below

the opportunity cost of enjoying one hobby being that you can't spend that time on a different hobby is so fucked up, someone needs to fix that so I can have infinite hobby time.
LURRUNA is OUT NOW!!! ($9.99 USD) Play as Dafne in an explosive remix of arcade and Classicvania mechanics! Itch (includes Steam key) - pd-cgt.itch.io/lurruna Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/4315900/...
finally I return to my long-form articles after half a year... backloggd legend drax asks: what exactly does "arcade-y" refer to? in response, I explain my reasoning for three major fundamentals of the arcade style, each of which drives the arcade mechanics we know and love. link below!
It was so worth going back to get a third Hard 1CC after being unhappy with the mistakes I made in the prior two as this is easily the smoothest gameplay I have had in any of my clears so far! (5 deaths) youtu.be/k5DMCT4XM5A?...

Just got back to back 1CC’s for Easy and Normal in Wild Guns Reloaded! (I’ll just upload the Hard clear cos the difference between these modes isn’t substantial)
Another one for the books! This run was a fair bit messier than I’d have liked but sometimes those 1CC’s are the most satisfying to see out. After two days and around 8ish hours of practise I’ve got my clear for Eschatos [Normal, Original]. youtu.be/so0pu5QSGs0?...

Took one credit to the final phase of the final boss in Eschatos already so I’ll be amazed if I somehow don’t get it today
I got the Blue Revolver Hyper 1cc!! honestly pretty forgiving with how many extends/bombs it gives you, but still the hardest 1cc I've done. very fun, and I feel encouraged to try out something more difficult!! here's the video if you'd like to watch! 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_9Q...

Great news: my new desk and chair will be here next month so I can finally use my PC with a comfortable setup Bad news: my bank account is so rinsed I mentally can’t bring myself to open my Lloyds app again until I get paid lmao
Just sunk in that Messi is gonna be 43 at the next World Cup so that was possibly the final time I see him play a big game
Can’t lie it stings to not see Messi make it back to back World Cups but the vibes are so much better with Spain winning, that Argentina squad are insufferable
I loveeee Eschatos but it is soooo dumb that it forces you to unlock segmented practise options by grinding for points
Sunset with a light breeze is giving me endorphins like you wouldn’t believe
Finally caught the 4K resto screening of Angel’s Egg in Manchester after missing the limited showings in my city and it was like seeing it for the first time again
Got a 1cc for Sin and Punishment with Turbo! Super pumped about that, building up my confidence for the eventual Hard 1cc + Turbo + Frame Skip on N64 (did this current run on Switch 2). This is going down sooner or later... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNsZ...

Something I don't think I've shared here - the arcade 1cc spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... This captures my arcade 1-credit clears, and I've also tried to capture info about the whole universe of potential arcade 1ccs, including links (mostly to YouTube or MARP) of reference runs.

capping off my trilogy of kururin reviews is squash, the rare gamecube exclusive that still has almost zero coverage. it's the best starter game in the series thanks to analog control and a gentler campaign, while also moving in some new directions for its set of objectives. link to my review below!
I cleared Eden's Eclipse Original mode on just one credit! Full run in the replies! It took me 21.3 hours. I think it was a great introduction to bullet hell. I was pulled in super hard! It was such a blast and I'm excited for Hell mode next! #Edens_Eclipse #Original #1CC

It’s too hot + I’ve got hay fever + My game order still isn’t here + Sam Neil passed away + My boss hasn’t paid me and won’t reply… just put me down man
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM0h... Jermanator made a guide + 1cc commentary on Captain Commando, check it out! I hopped on to talk about beat em ups more broadly & contrast it with Captain Commando (which I don't have as much experience with)
