advice for dealing with frustration?
used to have a lot of fun trying to clear extra in 6-10. ever since SA extra, i've been finding myself getting more or less pissed off when playing
i've already taken breaks from vidya to focus on work, but my skill and mood doesn't change when i come back to play

how do you consistently capture Raiko's Death Drum "Land Percuss"? the shaking screen always messes me up, especially when i barely have any room to dodge

What happened to arena dev? There wasn't an update this weekend.

Move to a different Extra or goal, practice in different ways (Thprac).
I've postponed several of the clears I wanted until my overall fundamentals had grown. It's a slow and steady build, but maybe it'll suit you.

For me what works it setting a clearly achievable goals for each run, "I'll get past this attack" "I'll have at least 2 extends by the time I get to the boss" etc.
And occasionally I'll just do a run for fun, one where I don't care about making any progress and I'll just play however, I think that's pretty important for not burning yourself out.

>burning yourself out
ah i believe that's the phrase that describes what i'm going through
despite already clearing DDC's extra with ReimuA and B, i'm aiming for a clear with all shottypes, which has been incredibly frustrating since raiko is a shit
i'd like to move on to impossible spell card, but i like the feeling of completion

Do you only play one game at a time?
I really do think that is not a good approach, I would've burned myself out a while ago if I did that.
I'd recommend having at least two or three games that you cycle.

What do you guys play with, keyboard, controller, stick?

Keyboard of course.

Can't remember but I think you're supposed to position yourself between the waves close to the previous one before the shaking starts, and once it does keep an eye for the bullets that gets boosted. I'm not sure, never captured this fucking card in a run, only spell practice.

I use a wired Xbox 360 controller. I am still playing Double Spoiler and just realized that you need to complete 52 and 58 scenes to unlock Extra and Spoiler, so I have to go back to previous levels to complete scenes. Currently made it to level 8 which has become a big filter.

i believe he stopped working on it because he got bullied off of /vg/

For clarity, it was just a couple guys (probably from /v/, the thread has been infested with /v/hu fags in the last week) lashing at him and him just leaving even though others were supportive of him. The shitposters were shitty but they just did the usual thing you could expect from this website, it looks like the guy wasn't really fit for this place unfortunately.

I use a Retro-bit Saturn pro, its dpad is the best one I've tried so far, although I really wish it were matte like the M30's.

I did get shoved around a bit, and a person who was following the project closely did make a prescient point afterwards, which you're also making now: even though I've been on this website since 2009 or something, and should be acclimated to it, I'm just not really built for receiving that sort of... negative feedback, I suppose you could call it, because I get very emotionally attached to my projects. Maybe I abandoned it in haste, the /jp/ threads are far more supportive, but then it makes me think I was just fishing for compliments all along, which gives me pause.

I could keep working on it, but like I said in that post, the goal of the project was just to put you in a PoFV match in the browser within two or three clicks. My way of adding to the game would be developing characters with interesting gimmicks, but the schism is that maybe most people just want balance changes to the original cast instead, nobody really cares about playing as some overpowered new character with a unique scope style or a level 5 spellcard, it just dilutes the original pool of characters.

Anyway, if you were looking forward to the project, I really do apologize and thank you again for the support. It was the kind words from this board that got me to continue it when my courage was wavering early on.

Wired Dualshock 3 with dpad. For me it's the best controller of all in terms of quality and feel of use

Keyboard. I applaud whoever could play on an Atari 2600 controller.
