The Tao of Danmaku

Post by The_Fix »

Three people, a week of writing and a month of planning. I bring to you the freshest guide covering what you need to know about a Danmaku (or any STG really) one credit clear!

You tired of losing all the time? Tired of not getting what you want out of STG? Have 200 hours in a game and no clear? You lack focus? You feel alone and empty? Tried of a never ending backlog and nothing to show for it? Lost in a sea of mediocrity? Just want to read some good stuff?
Don't just look at this thread, read this! It will help you!

The reviews are in! Thank you so much, you guys make it all worth it. :oops:

"...I like it, very fun emotionally inspirational structure" - Kiwi, You should know him, Blue Revolver Superplayer

"damn that was a great read, inspirational for me as a beginner" - Pear, Has the 1cc in BR, went off to play Mushi after reading. He also made that .gif

"If you don't know what to do after you read this, there's probably something wrong with you" - Theresa, Summit holder, second highest BR normal score, for a girl.

My handle is DKL and I proudly bring to you

Sigh, I didn't just want to copy this over, it's long and the formatting wouldn't be right. Who am I? You don't know, don't blame you. But I wrote this and I've got more clears than you, if you really do, I'll buy you a beer, and we can talk about glory!
I'm out there getting clears, not trying to build a web presence, X? The worst letter, maybe Q though, I'd have to think on it. :D

Have a nice read. Might change your outlook? If not, it's still really good though.
Please tell me what you think! I can only grow if I know. Thank you, and have a great day!

I like the sly Tracy Ullman quote towards the end of that Steam article when she used have the cool "The Simpsons" animated bits on her own prime time show aptly titled "The Tracy Ullman Show."

"I practically breastfed those bastards!," comedian/actress Tracy Ullman commenting on those early Simpsons animated skits shown on her show (before Fox decided that they should have their own show and the rest is history). The Data East "The Simpsons" pinball machine that was released back in the early 1990s was quite awesome to play, especially with all those digitized Bart sayings such as "Don't have a cow, man."

Thank you kindly, you comment give us a bit of traction!
Can't say I know much about Tracy Ullman, think it's a case of someone's inspiration powering anothers.
But as they say, good art borrows, great art steals.
Thanks for the read.
