Re: It's all in your head
i don't know if i personally subscribe to the implication that caring about tech in a game that's part of a genre that you have a vested interest/curiosity in is really a bad thing. i don't think you have to immediately start grinding DDP and talking about the glitch in every other post to care or be interested in said glitch, especially because the glitch existing and the history behind it has a pretty decent amount of cultural significance to people who are invested in the genre. i feel like the SM64 comparison isn't a great one either because SM64 has probably sold more copies and had a bigger fanbase in general than all shmups/shmup fans that exist on the planet, so of course something like the DDP glitch isn't going to be as "exciting" to other people as it might be to us.
it's kinda like saying "if you aren't actively practicing the secret SF4 Ryu glitch combo that does 50% of your lifebar with 1 meter, and posting about it all the time, do you even really care?" idk. personally i have like 3-4 jobs and volunteer work that i do in my life and my free time can only be spent on so many things, and i happen to be practicing a different DDP game right now that i find a little more accessible to me, but i still play DDP too and practice it on the side occasionally. maybe i'm not good enough to trigger the glitch or whatever but i'm still interested in it because i play these games.

Re: It's all in your head
you shouldn't take this personally as "everyone needs to play ddp"
it's just raw facts, you have 2 pages of drama, a deleted OP, 1 nuked twitter account and a leaked stage 5 full chain video, all over a game with 1 active player (who has a job and a family)

Re: It's all in your head
Why did the topic starter remove the starting post ?
Now someone told, and wanna keep it for self ?
Suppose you want ever a M2 version, they have to find the bug first, else they can not re-release this game.
So yes it is important.

No, they are setting up a online highscore, it should not be corrupt, else it is useless.

I'm assuming you weren't referring to me, but I'm playing it at the minute and trying to get a 1cc.Bananamatic wrote:only one person here is actively playing the game
I don't care for stingy chaining as a scoring mechanic. The idea of mapping out and memorising a route for each stage to keep my chain going bores me to tears, and I don't think I'll ever be good enough/willing to grind my way to a 2-all.
I find the glitch interesting but I I don't really care if western players are able to find it, to be honest. I'm not gonna get anywhere near the top of the leaderboard so if the top spot is a few million ahead of everyone else, it makes no odds to me.
No amount of money would make me want to waste my time scouring the code or playing stage 5 on a loop. It's not something I personally care about.
Not being confrontational, just trying to explain why I'm not roused into action to do my part for the great cause.
Mark's video with the american flag flying in the background did make me chuckle though!

Re: It's all in your head
there are also newer players who aren't at a level where chaining is even on the radar, and going for the clear with the various ships in DDP is still fun to do at that point. It's different than an experienced STG player finding reasons to go back to DDP when they've already worn themselves out from it.

Out of curiosity, who exactly raised up that bounty that's apparently floating around?

Re: It's all in your head
Tbh, idea that "somehow this bounty event will help shmups elevate from niche underground ghetto to mainstream gaming recognition" is weird and seems very unlikely, at best it will result to headlines on game news site after this bounty is paid to a person who did the task, and it will be just some "news" that will trigger some lazy comments like "wow, they spend so much for that?" among non-shmup gamers, and that's it.
If Plasmo wasn't joking and really expect it to "work", i fear it should have been done with more "organization & contacts". Like, if this event was done in collaboration with abeforementioned games done quick, or, i mean, just anything that has HIGH recognition, popularity, on-surface presence, reputation, etc. etc. etc. etc., then, MAYBE, it might work. Yeah, you'll need collab with company/people who will put this event on mass-viewing surface actually... And not just several hundred shmuppers from forum and discords combined together. You'll need those who really can push it. Maybe those who who have marketing/pr network outside of gaming industry, even.
Otherwise, it just remains ultra mega niche for smallest circles, as usual.

Yeah, I got it on firefox with avast too. Probably a false positive, but I can confirm that he's not just trying to wind you up.

Culprit is most likely a script running on billyjons dot net. I can see it in uMatrix. Seems like a lot of false positives for this site.

God I thought by "the glitch" you guys were jokingly referring to our consciousness and the ability of emergent properties of the universe to be self-aware in a subjective/dharmic way. Phew. Strong weed.

Re: It's all in your head
lol that fucking fast. 15 years of bullshit, walls of text, strategy threads, community building, shmups reviving, chasing shitty 1ccs, collecting cardboard boxes, and it was all fruitless compared to one motivated guy sitting down and actually putting in the work.

Re: It's all in your head
Congrats to blackisto but why was the bounty cancelled?
there is no balance between one side being open and the other being secretive unless we also secretly hide info...if we had any in the first placeJapan and the western communities both have good and bad parts. You can’t say that only one side is totally in the right. In the current situation it comes across as if Japan and the west are both on the extreme opposite ends of the spectrum, the important part is finding a balance between the two communities

Re: It's all in your head
i believe Blackisto is on the committee and thus wasn't eligible for the money in the first place. (or didn't want to claim it because of being on the committee.)
