How do I stop feeling inadequate at my lack of skill?

australia should have an answer for you by morning

play cave games.
there designed to make you feel like you're better than you are

Try using the analog stick instead

i got you homes

get a qt sexbot girlfriend

dine on oysters

put on your finest furry outfit

screw in a red lightbulb

put on some romantic music

lube up both your assholes with ky jelly

and then play something relatively low in difficulty, like Giga Wing

Practice. Just do it, the only to learn is to do.

giga wing has low difficulty.....well shit I thought I had skills for getting to the last level on one credit

Don't restart every time you mess up. I've cleared multiple shmups on botched runs.

By feeling self-assured smugness in playing patrician games and looking down upon the normie vermin who derive enjoyment from peggle, solitaire and minecraft; who if asked about retro will express fond memories of Wii Sports.

Well at least they don't play Ikaruga or use two credits to clear arcade games or use filters

What's wrong with playing Ikaruga?

Are you just mad you'll never be good enough to get an 8-digit score in it?

That's a pretty cool looking rhythm game.

holy shit how did i never realize this. that's what it is to shmup.

except progress is slower and the ball doesn't roll back down, you just keep reaching false peaks and seeing you have that much more mountain to go.

oh god why.
