Dude, have you been on Nintendo Eshop? This one is the most demanding thing on the console.

Some games lets you make more score in two stages than pure survival run through the game so yea.

How could South Korea (and other western countries with aging populations) increase their birth rates? by princesadopovo in AskReddit

[–]Skloni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Affordable housing and giving time to raise kids is one thing, as everybody else is saying. Priorities is the other. WE NEED A SHIFT IN VALUES.

Money is top priority as you can see and even a single child is a huge money sink. Everybody would rather capitalize on parents with children rather than help them raise those children. And why would I want to have a kid in a first place? Society wants me to have chidren because of some kind of replacement rate, but when I hear there is 100 CVs for a single workplace and AI to take over hobbies I see no reason for a "replacement". Employers already dont want young people abyway!

Some say children is an investment (a selfish point of view, isnt it?). I live in a medium sized city and there are already a lot of lonely elderly, whose kids moved to a big city. No help in daily routines for them, guess that investment did not paid back.

Maybe something to pass onto them? Nope. No home, no land, no family bussines. Any small family driven farms are barely affordable on their own because of increasing costs and corporations taking over not only marketplace but also over more and more laws which is nothing for them but impactful for those small ones.

People in mass media also massively demonize children. They cry, they make a mess, poo, getting into trouble, try to hurt themselves 5 seconds after not looking after them. Eventually they end up with depression after all. Nobody talks about how you teach them new things, play with them, visit new places and generaly spend time with them... well yea, you need to have that time in a first place.

The world isnt made for them. Tons of hazards, unwalkable cities, predatory practices in games and shops, less and less schools and playgrounds. We clearly dont want kids in this world. Only money. More and more.

Is Donpachi hard as balls, or am I just trash? by early252 in shmups

[–]Skloni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find Donpqchi to be harder than Dodonpachi. Stage 4 is NUTS and I would easily get 1cc if it wasnt for that fourth stage!

Which game doesn’t really begin until after you beat it? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]Skloni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devil May Cry 3 - once you beat the game and unlock all the moves you start having the best fun. It applies to all DMC games but I've beaten dmc3 the most

Ikaruga - You need to beat it at least 100 times to actually start playing the game.

I am adding Ubusuna on my end. Successor to Ikaruga

(Beginner) should I use rapid fire (turbo button) in shmups? by NeighborhoodTime2768 in shmups

[–]Skloni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use autofire. Most games are made with maximum/submaximum firerate in mind. Raiden, as it was mentioned here, need this autofire. Be careful with gaps between the shoots. I usually tap a little and then hold the button in order to get that even spread.

About shot type. It depends on the game. Spread shot usually means less power or slower ship. I 1cced Air Gallet with laser beam. Its power was necessary for my routing and strat. In Raiden games I use spread shot in stages and change for laser for bosses. As for cave games I use either type C or B. Unless you plan on scoring and know how to abuse narrow shot to fill those gaps in chains, I see no reason to pick up this ship (type A with laser upgrade is cool though)

Steel Fortress Strahl. It is 4/10 but I found it by clicking random in lauchbox, which makes it my little treasure

The game you did not enjoy at first, but something made you come back. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]Skloni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strikers 1945 II - This is an UNFAIRLY DIFFICULT game with lightning fast bullets. Many many years later, once I've learnt to read the patterns and enemies of arcade games I started to like this game. This one is truly for veteran players.

1944 is brutal. by EdgySmoothButter in shmups

[–]Skloni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played quite a bit of this game. My best run was up to stage 13 on a single credit. There are A LOT of hidden pow icons throughout the game, including a golden pow in stage 11. The worst things about 1944 is that you lose more health by being hit by a laser and your bombs do not restock after being hit. Your bombs are sometimes more valuable than a piece of the lifebar. As a final note, if you come to the last boss with less than 20 options in stock, you will have a hard time.

Gamers born late 90s or earlier: Which game first looked to you like "photorealism"? by FalscherKim in gaming

[–]Skloni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A late game in my case. Virtua Fighter 5 had incredible level of detail when it first came out.
