It was such a cool thing for me to have @jazrignall.bsky.social on here. Mean Machines and CVG were my introductions to proper video game critique and analysis and he and his fellow editors helped shape my tastes. Oh yeah, Defender is pretty awesome as well. 😁

If two hours of Directs are allowed for Kirby Air Riders, then 27 min about Schildmaid MX seems OK!
Though I can’t believe @mkstayontarget.bsky.social passed up the chance to start the video with “What’s SHMUP guys”

Schildmaid MX is AMAZING but does require you play a little differently to how you might expect from a shmup - so here’re a few pointers to get you started
Since Schildmaid MX is out on consoles, we've got a lot of new players of our #shmup
To get everyone up to speed we made a very YT video full of not so apparent info and even scoring tips: '11 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Schildmaid MX'.

DFK is a pretty fun time, even learning the laser wheels wasn’t too bad. Getting into the Omote loop can be done on some very scrappy play, although seeing it out for a 2-ALL is gonna require some hard work. Here’s my current pb on switch & 360, 2-2 & 2-3, side by side. Onwards! #shmup #stg #dfk

4 video games that defined my 2025
SDOJ & K-Tiger were big challenges in terms of skill & learning and it was great to return to both Batsugun & Schildmaid MX. Not as many clears as last year but some trickier ones, really enjoyed my gaming time this year.

The Netherlands’ at this point sole existing video game magazine (est. 1993) @powerunlimited.bsky.social have featured our shmup Schildmaid MX on their precious pages 🙌🏻 And it’s a pretty decent writeup too!

Some recent additions to my physical collection of #nintendoswitch games. The Switch has really become my preferred current platform for 2D gaming, unless the ports are crappy.
