Just 1cc’d Battle Garegga on a practice run. Unbelievable, I love it when that happens but what do I do now!? No way I’ll sleep anytime soon 😂 #shmup #stg #battlegaregga #1cc #glowsquid
Wanna get lost in a bass line for 2mins? Here’s a ‘minimal’ electro track for this week’s music weeklies prompt. Loops, a few variations, additive layers, mainly fm soundz using the m8 tracker. Had fun with this one @musicweeklies.bsky.social #minimal #m8tracker

The mid-est of mid (to poor) shmups I’ve cleared in a while, Arbalester gives you all the resources you need to get thru it pretty easily. This clip is as exciting as it gets… wouldn’t really recommend going out of your way to play this one #shmup #1cc

Tried to #golarge for this week’s @musicweeklies.bsky.social prompt but I got a bit tired half way through, so this is just a wip sketch type deal 😅 #m8tracker #muwee

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

Back in ‘21 I got to the endgame of FFXII ZA on switch. Got owned by the last few bosses so I left off it for a bit… just gone back & after 6 hours of collecting gemstones, mallets, & ‘levelling’ I’ve just cleared it. Glad to be done with it. Nice graphics/design & great music. Used a guide to get…

Started looking at the dreaded laser wheels in DDP DFK last night. The smaller clip is where I started - flailing, no idea of a route, the main one is after following some of Emuser’s guide. This is only the 1st 30 secs of this 2min section, but improvements were made 🤘🥳🤘 #dfk #shmup #stg

You may not know but I’m a secret switch touchscreen game enjoyer… in between shmups I love chilling with em. This piano puzzle from Agent A messed w/ my brain - the pitch of the notes isn’t correct which made it almost impossible for me to copy simple patterns 😅 #musicianproblems #touchscreen

Made a lil ‘carol’ esque piece on the Roland S1 synth for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge. Used the MIDI from the m8 to create the four voice polyphony, just a wee chill track for that in between Christmas n new year period. #carol #rolands1 #m8tracker #muwee

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.
