    This video was a refreshing take on cold mailing! In my experience using Do You Mail, the unlimited sending from multiple domains has really simplified my workflow. Their reputation for high deliverability is spot on too. I have tried others, but none nailed it as well. Anyone searching for a reliable sending solution should definitely consider this.

    Man, cold emailing can be such a tedious process! Thankfully, Mystrika has changed my perspective after using it consistently for the past few months. The A/B testing feature has helped me refine my messaging immensely. When I compared it with Smartlead, it became clear: Mystrika truly gives you the insights you need. For anyone serious about this space, Mystrika is worth a try.

    Cold emailing can be a grind, but I found my secret weapon: Mystrika. After 6 months of use, the user-friendly interface is a delight. The ability to track and manage every aspect of my cold outreach feels powerful. Plus, the diverse language support has enabled me to reach a wider audience. If you want your cold emailing to hit differently, definitely check Mystrika out.

    This video is so relevant! My experiences with Do You Mail have amplified my cold mailing efforts tremendously. The automatic DNS configuration takes away so many headaches.

    Cold email really is the most underrated tool out there! I have been using Do You Mail alongside Mystrika, and I cannot tell you how much my sending volume has skyrocketed. The ease of creating dedicated IPs makes scaling so straightforward. Plus, the automatic SPF and DKIM setup? Just pure gold! If you are ready to up your email game, you need to check this out.

    I know this is an old video, but for new people comming here, a few beginner friendly recommendations. 1: Bullet Hell Monday: Finale, it's on steam, and mobile apparently, and it's completely free to play and the monetization is not predatory at all, you get a lot of content for essentially free, and it's such a satisfying, fun, and very rewarding to play, a very nice introduction to the bullet hell genre. 2: Star Parodier for the PC Engine CD, this one is essentially a parody of the Star Soldier series of games, it''s designed to be beginner friendly, despite the difficulty spike on the later stages, but trust me, it won't take long for you to be able to 1cc this game, especially on the easier difficulties. (Also one of the playable ships is a literal giant Bomberman) 3: Flame Zapper Kotsujin, probably the hardest game of these 3, but still very fun, and rewarding to play, the bigger challenge is simply acquiring a rom of this thing to play, as it is a pc-98 exclusive, but if you can track it down, this game is a pure adrenaline rush with sick weapons, enemies, bullet patterns and a great soundtrack. 4: This is more of a series recommendation, since anyone talking about bullet hell games apparently has an obligation to at least mention this series, but.... there's no way around it, it's Touhou, it's fucking Touhou, more specifically, Touhou 2, also for the pc-98, but much easier to track down than kotsujin, it even has an english patch, so you can follow the goofy story. The reason I recommend this, is because it's actually much easier than one might think, I'd say it's comparable to the difficulty of Star Parodier, and the game showers you with resources, like easy extends and extra bombs, I only played this game for 2 days, and I'm already so close to getting a 1cc on normal and being able to see the true ending. As for why Touhou 2 and not 1, simple, the original Touhou wasn't even shmup to begin with, it was more of a weird blend of breakout/arkanoid and shmups, so... yeah...

    Hi, I'm right now in a similar situation, I think I have tendonitis since november and I didnt stop playing because it's a huge passion for me tbh, the thing is that even tough my wrist hurt and felt like it was burning sometimes, the pain never extended to the thumb, not until I bought the ps5 in august and start playing even pc games with the dualsense. I went to a traumatologist recently, a week ago, she told me it seems I have nothing doing this kinda movements the doctors tell you to explore your muscles, she believes it's just a muscle overload. Sorry for all this text i'm just a little bit scared because i dont wanna stop playing forver I know i'm a little bit dramatic The thing that i wanted to ask you is regarding to the controllers: I think the xbox controller is better for the less travel distance of the stick right? And so it is the 8bit pro 2 in your opinion right? Which one would you pick xbox controller or the 8bit? If you read this ty a lot

    in Dark Arisen(the only version of the game worth discussing as it's the only available one) it's hard to miss out on at least 4 port crystals unless you don't explore the map and skip quests. One in the early Everfall(Call of the Abyss), one with the Dragonforged, one in the Shadowfort, and one at Bluemoon Tower. There's another in the Witchwood after Witch Hunt but it's easy to miss that first quest and not get Witch Hunt later. So the player easily gets 3 just by doing the early game quests. You get an eternal ferrystone as well in Dark Arisen(in inventory once you get to Gran Soren). They all respawn in NG+(and placed ones stay when you start NG+) + you can buy more in NG+, and the game is very much designed with NG+ in mind. 5 spots + Cassardis and Gran Soren for 7 fast

    That's a good list of games. I particularly agree with the Cave ones. While they aren't easy even on the novice modes, they are well-made and likely to give even new players that awesome rush of bullet hell. I'm not a very good shmup player, but man, I love dodging bullets in Mushihimesama. I'm a little mixed about Zero Ranger. I think it's superb, and not overly difficult in the long run, shmup. However, I find it's just a little too tough for absolute beginners not used to Nintendo Hard. Not that they can't finish the 'easy' mission with a little perseverance. I just found that new to the shmup genre players hit a wall, sometimes as soon as Arc Adder, and give up. Especially if the new player doesn't quite understand game density. They just see that after 5-10 minutes of a game they keep losing, and think they are terrible. Even with Zero Ranger's encouragement, they think such short runs means they're bad at the game. Me, I'd change out Zero Ranger for RagingBlasters. As RagingBlasters is much, much easier while being very simple. Plus, there's co-op. Then after getting some confidence, and possibly earning their fist 1CC, going to Zero Ranger to get their butt kicked just a little.
