they included cassette tapes... not many folks have those either.

modern usage of the phrase "bullet hell" has been coopted by games that are definitely not in the shmup genre. we had this issue with the term "shooter" or "shooting game" back when FPS games became popular. It's why we have the term shmup now, for better or worse.
I echo the sentiment that a bullet hell is a subgenre of shmups and, for me, it focuses on dense amounts of projectiles and micro dodging. when I hear the phrase I immediately think of titles like some of the later touhou games or the later bosses in dodonpachi games.
this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.
I like gamesir's controllers and have had several. the g7 series is nice for what you describe. they have a wide array of options so check for some reviews to see the festurrsfeatures fully.
while i don't have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it's mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.
part of my choice was also that i don't play a lot of modern games so i didn't need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it's all nuance and preference, i think.
sounds like you've made up your mind. wnjoy windows 11!
maybe try bazzite? i've found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.
they have a guide for davinci resolve, too: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/davinci-resolve-setup-guide/1197
i, too, enjoy football violence!
battlefield 2042... unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don't belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i'm usually having a great time.
Castlevania: aria of sorrow, more raycrysis from the ray'z cronology, and I might finally buy the first leynos port for ps4.
where is the line between patient and retro gamer?
tried it again tonight but i am absolutely exhausted. got about a quarter through the third stage and just died. lost all my ships in the second stage doing stupid stuff like not paying attention to my exits and not trying to corral the bugs.
EDIT: i think i like 1.5 a lot more than the original. just feels a little better to me, perhaps it's the color changes? i'm unsure if the music changed as well. the score attack mode is a great addition, too.
Assault Suit Leynos on the PS4 (and on steam). The port of the first game, not the "Saturn Tribute" port of the second game. It was on sale on the PlayStation store for $1.99 a few days ago so I snapped it up.
Also probably Front Mission on Steam because of the current sale.
I tried to play Metro 2033 Redux since it was free on GOG but I ran out of time on my lunch break. May dive back into that.
