Folks using autofire and refusing to mash because I'm 30 or 40 years old continues to be the greatest play of all

Smashing the wishlist button like in a shmup without autofire
i was always under the impression raiden was designed around no autofire play, but i was looking up score records and apparently raiden cabs with autofire were around even back in 1990, when the game was released. that makes me wonder if they balanced the bosses around 30hz vulcan pointblanking

I added a spirit lantern companion that will autofire a bunch of different stuff. Everyone needs a companion to help!

i did notice 30hz vs 15hz autofire doesn't seem to make a difference in damage (due to iframes?) on the other hand when playing without autofire, vulcan pointblanking is obviously worse, but the laser only requires moderate tapping to use effectively, so i wonder if they considered both styles

Every now and then people debate whether or not using autofire is cheating in, say, Final Fight. This whole thing could have been easily settled if Capcom added an official autofire rate into their ports like a lot of shmups did. And this is just basic stuff that they could do

you know what's a machanic i liked recently. in mushihimesama if you configure your A button autofire rate to 3 frames on / 2 frames off with s-power and you hold C button (the game's built in autofire) and autofire A button at the same time, you deal additional damage that lets you speedkill bosses

Call me crazy, but I do think it's important for news orgs to work on business models that don't treat their readers like enemies, just like I thought the same of record labels decades ago. Too many business models are antagonistic. We can fix that.
You Shouldn’t Have To Hate Your News Source To Support It
Last week, I pointed out that part of the reason for running our current fundraiser (donate $100 or more and you’ll get our first commemorative challenge coin) is to show that it is possible to have a successful media business model that…

Nier Automata does this perfectly: multiple modes, anti-motion sickness options, and the easy mode also allows you to equip chips that autofire and autododge if you need them. Takes nothing away from other players to include that.

I've added an autofire option; I think quite a few players will be happy about it.

So what's the most obscure, lowest-stakes nerd controversy you have a hot take on?
Mine is that 30hz autofire in Darius Gaiden should be considered standard. If the arcades in Japan wire up a separate button for it (and they all do) that mean's it's A-OK to use

Sometimes I'm surprised a community as hardcore as the shmup/STG scene will allow autofire on games that don't natively have it

Vimana 1-ALL but done without autofire, because autofire kinda rolls this game over
it's still not a super hard clear without it but you have to at least learn to handle the bosses

Every port's an opportunity to add an arrange mode which fixes glaring issues like boring exploits, broken scoring, etc. but they don' even do basic stuff like adding official autofire rates & removing continues most of the time...

sometimes a boss fight is me swinging nunchuks like a maniac while two headless morons slam their swords into them and repeatedly drop their weapons
sometimes a boss fight is stacking buffs until i can hit a guy so hard he dies
sometimes a boss fight is bomb spam + 30hz autofire

"Boss fights should be like a dance" is a statement that has set back discussion of boss fights and also their design by at least a decade.
Also it outs you as a dweeb who doesn't know what fights are like
A good boss fight is just two people trying to kill each other. That can look like anything.
