Added 2020-05-25 17:48:05 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
The first patreon topic stream will be tonight at 8:30 PM MST! Bring your topics you would like me to discuss! The Illuminati will be prioritized, but shmup homies can submit topics too if the Illuminati have all their topics covered.
It will be on my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/the_electric_underground
Also, the winner of the vote is Blue Wish Resurrection! It was the clear winner this time around. Tied for 2nd and 3rd though were Garegga and R-Type Delta :-) So they are auto nominated for voting next month.

I thought I saw this on time but alas. Man I never notice the notifications for this for whatever reason.

They take away from the core fun of the game. It's more fun to try dogding a challenging section - you might succeed or you might fail, and either way you learn more about that pattern. Bombing always feels like failure. Like quitting. Another good point is bombs allow lesser skilled players (like me) to flatten out the difficulty spikes, while pros can challenge themselves to no-bomb, which is great. But I'd argue that there's better ways to do that without having to give up on dodging completely (Like Espgaludas slowdown power.) But yeah, all things bombs would be good.
