General youtube shmup thread.

DMC-san, after remembering our proud farm, I went to the warehouse and pounded the meat with renewed vigor! ;w;7

Thanks, BIL. Missed opportunity that I didn't do anything with Rocky IV, my personal favorite since I had it on tape as a kid.

[emphatic]

And it was beautiful to behold.

Thanks, Emph!
(unless you meant Rocky IV, in that case I agree!)

This is hilarious and amazing. Bravo.

LMAO at Ric meltdown and nuking himself over a short-period discussion of a animu gacha game, this arc will never not be funny.

REST IN PEACE SHMUP SCENE
1978 - 2025

[Starfighter]

The Dreamcast Junkyard posted a couple of trailers for "Late-Stage Dreamcast games" yesterday and there's some shmups in it! This got me thinking: do we have a thread for shmup trailers? Anyway, in this clip we have trailers for Psyvariar 2, Shikigami no Shiro II, Ikaruga, Chaos Field, Trizeal, Under Defeat, Trigger Heart Exelica and Karous!

Not sure if anyone cares about my Game Boy Color Gradius 1-ALL, but you can watch it here.

Also, I don't think I linked my Fast Striker 9 trillion point 1cc here yet

[Udderdude]

As far as bullshit Gradius III deaths go, this has to be near the top: https://x.com/HTKS_or_UMKS/status/1962002976819786187

Wait, is this forum called "the farm"? And is hated by people? This is the first time I hear of this.

Don't know about the Farm part because I am new here, but hating a forum is generally a thing in my experience with forums. Granted, the only other forums I use are about Linux, the reasons differ. Non-forum users consider forums as gatekeepers (or insert any other word that gets thrown around) because the power is centralised. Like, if I get permabanned here it would be a pain for me to make a new account because my IP can be banned by the mods. I can't make sockpuppets here either, like Reddit users do. YouTube users might be part of a community (Discord) associated with a creator and then discover that the forum isn't a fan of the creator.

I wouldn't say "hated", it's mostly pretty harmless banter imo and a generation gap thing (the forum represents "the old" in many ways).
It's been like that ever since the forum got it's own IRC chat pre-2010s, followed by Elixir's Shmups discord around 2016 and Mark's STG Rev 2020.
I think since shmup forum was always the reference point for those places, the biggest STG hub and public whereas the new chat places were semi-private, the "farm" jargong was almost inevitable.
Nowadays, the forum isn't as much the reference point anymore, so there is much less of the farm jargong.

Elixir's Shmups discord [...] Mark's STG Rev 2020

I'm going to DDG this but if you have more information (direct links etc) I'm all ears!

Edit: Found some of it! If anyone else here is like me and had no clue about this (I doubt it but you never know!) then here:

Elixir's Shmups discord

Mark's "STG Rev. 2020" thingy is pretty much impossible to find as an outsider. When searching for it I found that I've tried before with no luck. The only thing I found was a guy on reddit saying he was banned from it and that's it. I have found an invite link that I suspect leads to it, but since a year back or so every invite link I ever try turns out to be "invalid". I don't know if it's on my end, but it just doesn't work at all no matter which invite link I ever try (not using VPN or anything). This goes for the Shmups discord by Elixir as well, by the way. All invite links I've tried to it is invalid.

Mark links to his discord in the description of every one of his videos.

...I have no excuse as to why I didn't think to check there. That was really bad thinking on my part. Thanks!

Edit: But, alas...

I can pm you about the discord stuff.

On topic:
I made a video on the so-called Donpachi cult (strats hiding or just copyright claims?) https://youtu.be/JNC1yu88EKU?si=qmDudKMgw3ZJLsLz
and a Zero Gunner 2-ALL, cleared the game with all Helicopters now. I will probably try to push the Hokum score a bit https://youtu.be/K2YXqB-Uxnk?si=74n1q_G5_vib7Vzm
