  • There’s a lot more to the genre, and the isometric shooters you’re talking about are technically not shmups, rather they’re twin stick shooters. A true Shmup is the bullet hells you mentioned, but bler hell is actually a subgenre, there are many types of shmups that control the same way a bullet hell does, but minus the hell of bullets. Check out Shmup Junkie on YouTube and join his discord to learn more than you ever imagined about this amazing genre!


  • Synthetik isn’t actually a Shmup, if you’re looking for games like it you want to look into twinstick shooters. A Shmup is an automatically scrolling shooter with where you are traveling in a single primary direction. A true Shmup gives you freedom to move all around the screen but the screen scrolls through the level at a fixed rate. Famous shmups include Gradius, R-Type, Raiden. There are a few different subgenres but the main offshoot you’ll see is Bullet Hell.

    A great place to start is the Touhou games, and fan games (My favourite is Blue Devil in the Belveder). My all time favourite Shmup is Teslapunk, but it’s pretty obscure and not exactly popular.

    If you want to learn more look up Shmup Junkie on YouTube and join his discord. Lots of great guys and a curated list of beginner games/goals for someone who’s interested in the genre. Trust me there is a Shmup for every taste out there. Try lots to see what clicks for you!





  • Easiest and fastest way for an amazing single cup of coffee is probably the clever dripper. It’s utterly fool proof, and combined with good beans and a good grinder makes top shelf coffee. Also it costs almost nothing.

    If you are looking for a batch brewer that will last the rest of your life go for Technivorm Moccamaster. I’ve had mine for 10 years and wouldn’t want to live without it! Good grinder and beans needed of course!



  • I’m definitely around 10 years. I can’t say for sure though as I lurked for the first 3 or 4. I haven’t been to reddit since the final day. I logged out of my account on the final day, and as soon as my brother texted that RIF no longer works I uninstalled it. Haven’t been back since. Lemmy was originally… not disappointing exactly, but not “as good” as reddit, but it’s quickly improved. I like it a lot. It feels like reddit, if reddit was part of the old internet.
