I posted this elsewhere, but I think it go algorithm'd to the void, so I'm posting it here, cause I spent some time writing it up, and I'm curious what others think, or what their favorites are!

Reverse-Bullet-Hells/Auto-Shooters

I'm in a holding pattern waiting for Armored Core 6, Starfield, and Baldur's Gate 3 on PlayStation, so I'm fixated on Vampire Survivor-likes ("Auto-shooters" is I think what they're getting labeled).

Here's my current ranking of auto-shooters that I've played this weekend (Soulstone Survivors was gifted to me by a GB Chat Stream buddy and it started a shopping spree). 1 through 3 could be tied, they each rock, in their own way. I indicated what I am/was playing them on.

1. Army of Ruin (PS5) Trailer: https://youtu.be/3sIroXzaDBc
2. Soulstone Survivors (PC) has a Demo titled Soustone Survivors: Prelude - Trailer: https://youtu.be/3sIroXzaDBc
3. Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde (PS5) Trailer: https://youtu.be/kXrGlKTCpXo
4. Vampire Survivors (Game Pass for me, with DLC) - even though that hasn't been played this weekend, I think I unlocked everything so...yeah.
5. Halls of Torment (PC) Has a Diablo 1 aesthetic and has a demo Halls of Torment Prelude - Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCVIaeK504g
6. Remedium Sentinels (PC) - This game needs some love. It's good, dark, grim, blood, mechs, and abominations, but needs polish. Trailer: https://youtu.be/hUUypQ7ITXQ
7. Star Survivor (PC) - Has a Demo - Has potential, but has a learning curve given you're mounting weapons and equipment to ship slots. Has some FTL map stuff going for it as well. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmgVdQkL_Dg
8. Whispike Survivors: Sword of the Necromancer (PS5) - I think I actively hate this one. I don't like the loop, at all, even if the aesthetic and music are great. Trailer: https://youtu.be/NQx5zbmNl7w

Wishlist, PC Only since I think that's all the ones on Console above, or at least worth playing:

• The Slormancer - Trailer: https://youtu.be/V1fXE74cVDY
• Yet Another Zombie Survivors - Trailer: https://youtu.be/zDTwCWBLwOk

Honorable Mention for the one I'm most curious about, given its aesthetic: GOOBIES. HAS A DEMO JUST INSTALLED - Trailer: https://youtu.be/n8eAfw67l1A

Heck yeah! I've got access to all the Consoles. Also, go try Deathverse: Let it Die (Game) - Giant Bomb! OOOH! Empty Wiki!

@thisisdell: Definitely do what @permanentsigh said. I reached out on Twitter and was told to take front-facing pics of the shirts. The Guilty one is so bad. Bomby is better, but the vinyl printing is like, Flea Market Shirt Stall quality and thickness, especially compared to older shirts with big prints. Vinnyvania has similar size and shape of the Bomby logo, but it's soft and good.

The Muppet Movie and Bridge to Terabithia.

I'm choosing two Xbox Play Anywhere titles for obvious reasons.

Choice 1: Sea of Thieves (Season 7 dropped today (Aug 4))

Choice 2: The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos - Chicken Edition (quicky and fun tactical RPG)

@bigsocrates: OH! This is like a Book Club or the Waypoint thing they did! I'm down for this!

@turkburgbro: I figured that might be the case, gotta wait for payday. lol

@turkburgbro: What's the Discord? I missed it when it was posted and then couldn't find it in that hectic chat. lol

@zinkn: They said they'll be streaming a lot.

@frytup: 7500 and counting Patreon subs disagree.
