Hey shmup friends! Happy weekend! Welcome to the Open Thread! Feel free to discuss any topic you’d like!
I’m trying a little experiment in scheduling posts. (You might have noticed this is being posted via my Piefed alt.) We’ll see how it goes!
Looks like the scheduling worked! (Wish I could have done this from my regular Lemmy account, but alas.)
Been keeping busy with work this week, but I did get a chance to play a little Batsugun Special. I’m not sure I’ll ever get a 1cc on it, but as long as I’m having fun I’ll keep at it!
Mostly too busy for games. Warrior Blade was on sale so I got that. It is part of the Rastan saga and filled with lots of fun ideas for a mythical Conan-ish beat-'em-up like a rather impressive horse riding stage, a dragon riding stage, a surfing like that one level in Turtles in Time, optional routes, and really nice sprites and animation presented in widescreen à la Darius II.
I got roped into a situation at work not unlike the one mentioned in the most recent Honkology video where I was tasked with making spreadsheets for every teacher I work with for each class they teach. And renaming them. And getting them on (effing) Teams. And then concatenating a bunch of audio files. Then fixing PDF files. This, I suppose, is what being the resident Millennial means? I will bill them for the extra time, but my managers are the ones getting the thanks.
