@visualseptica @asdf setting aside the obvious 2hus: rude breaker, flame zapper kotsujin, and burning dragon plus are all excellent and highly recommended if you have the 2D shooting game brainworm like I do

@visualseptica @asdf kuso being kusoge, right? The problem with my recs is that I never caught the jarpig bug so I'm 100% action-oriented, and for that, the X68000 is just the better system by far

@netdoll @asdf yes kusoge. i really need to get my ass on a x68k dive-- i have issues with attention span and action games interface in a love-hate way with it (sometimes i can lose myself in the groove for hours and sometimes a single death ejects me back to reality). been gnawing at akumajou dracula over the last 2 years and from that game and like, aquales, i could tell the system was an action game realhead paradise- if only i invested

@visualseptica @asdf Ah yeah I figured as much. As long as I'm thinking of it, when it comes to kusoge, have you heard of UPL? They're a quirky dev of the 80s and early 90s and basically their entire arcade and console catalog expertly strides the line between kusoge and masterwork, highly recommended if you ever get a chance to check them out.

@netdoll @asdf i cant do jrpgs anymore, they need to be really special or short or fucked up or something. the number go up loop fucks with my addiction centers way too badly + rigid pacing freaks me out

@visualseptica @asdf I'm actually the opposite somehow, however much I want to, I can never get the core gameplay loop of turn-based JRPGs to click in a way my ADHD-fried brain can actually handle. I'm thinking some faster ARPGs in the Falcom vein might go a long way to alleviating that tho.

@netdoll @asdf falcom is a lot better for this but ive had to be careful with them because their 80s and 90s output is like carefully constructed digital ultra-crack. theyre sort of like a japanese Blizzard where the games are actually kind of shallow and stupid but the aesthetics and short reward loops they get you on are like shoving super sour candy in your mouth full of lit joints while watching pornography

@visualseptica @asdf Yeah and there are certain other games I get this feeling about from other developers (Community Pom anyone?)

@netdoll @asdf 90s "mid" zelda clones that nobody cares about was my favorite genre for a while lol. community pom was nice, i didnt get that far. i put "elemental gimmick gear" and "blood omen" and "crusader of centy" in that pile

@visualseptica @asdf I'm just a huge sucker for Fill-in-cafe and their successor devs (new Cotton was a big hit in that respect)

@visualseptica @asdf The other new Cotton was also really good but sadly the Steam version doesn't work under Wine and the Switch version encounters a RADV driver bug on my system. Need to remember to file a bug report for that.

@netdoll @asdf i dont know a lot about them-- besides POM ive played the psx mad stalker and a few of the older cotton games (apparently panorama cotton was from success and im not familiar with the new ones). im interested in trying a few games youve mentioned now. i dont play often anymore but i like retro games bc i feel like theyre less manipulative and have shorter lengths

@visualseptica @asdf Yeah, I'm like 95% a shooter otaku so the game time isn't frontloaded at all, it's entirely what you make of it. Anything with that kind of design philosophy is bound to appeal to me regardless of age or genre.

@visualseptica @asdf And if I *couldn't* play stuff like that, I'd probably just quit videogames entirely.
