So... we are two days before the 2nd anniversary of the JP server (30thApril 2020) and 2 weeks before the 1 year anniversary for Global (11th May 2021) for Lost Word. If we are to focus on the state of Global as of today, 28th April 2022 in terms of character diversity, the game has the following: a total of 109 characters have been introduced, most recent being Eiki Shiki, Aunn and a new version of Remilia Scarlet (Tiny Devil Mistress) out of these 109 characters, of which 87 are base (normal/vanilla) versions of the Touhou cast, and 22 are alternative versions (different universe to be met in the storyline or "Classic" versions) out of the 31 official games, the ones not covered yet by Global are the PC-98 games (besides PC-98 Reimu and Marisa appearing in a cutscene) and, Touhou 17.5 and Touhou 18 as a whole, we have 87 out of the, let's round it at 150, characters ZUN has created (PC-98 included) the game was released on the 11th of May 2021, so there are 352 days as a whole, if calculating, the average for releases in terms of characters, we got a new one every 3 days as a whole, and a non-alt unit every 4 days I am not very sure what was the thing I wanted to point out. I guess it was that units came out very quickly, and we already got half of the cast in this one year. People say there has been a rush in units released especially during and after the 0.5 years anniversary of Global, and there is criticism for the attempt of catching up with a game version that already had 1 year of advance. And from here, weird decisions like bringing units to Global mere days (at times) after their release on the JP server, events that came off as poorly planned (spring event at the beginning of winter, Halloween event getting a rerun now in late spring etc). Besides, I was trying to point out in a previous comment - was NN just extremely generous in the past month with rewards and all those "player appreciation" thing for the sake of being generous, as a way to compensate for their fuck-ups until that point and make players what happened, or because we should buckle up for something different? Also just a thing I find weird/interesting. I guess this sort of mobile games need to gain a lot of money in order to be work upkeeping or something, especially since last year in October-November NN was complaining Lost Word was gaining just 2-300K dollars a month (I am not too used to how much gacha games gain, but apparently these are rookie numbers since other games in the genre gain dozens of millions of dollars monthly just from IAPs). How expensive is it to upkeep a mobile phone, single-player game? Besides having to make sure everything works well, pay license for all the fanworks used, and pay your team that makes the game.

Heres a couple drawings done some months ago. Of Marisa Reimu Sanae and Cirno. I also have a drawing from 2020. I thought it was a nice pun

Personally, I also do have a DeviantArt page besides that on Pixiv. However, the DA one is more oriented towards military stuff, with the every now and then Touhou material snuck in too. As for Twitter, I do have an account, yet do not post anything there. I only have an account there because otherwise I would not have been able to access some of the artists whose works I like checking. Another place where I post Touhou-related, even if just at the level of discussion, is on Discord. But that is a different story.

Those artwork of Youmu and Momiji look cool, I follow both of these artists too! This might not be the best thread to ask, but I was wondering if you guys post anything about touhou that's not on Moriya Shrine. I know Count makes artwork on Pixiv but does anyone make anything on Twitter or YouTube as well? I use twitter mainly to check artists and other content, but I'd love to talk there too. Just wanted to ask you guys.

Speaking of which. I personally found them the other way around, first the white/grey/ bowl-cut short hair swordswoman of Gensokyo, and only after that the white/grey/ bowl-cut short hair swordswoman from Nier. Therefore my initial (and still kept in some measure) reaction towards 2B. However, there are some cool/funny cross-overs done on that theme though. For Myon (source https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/86261515) Looks like Momiji did not escape either (source: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/89331233)

So true, I agree with your statement.

Counter-strike (mainly global offensive) because it's such a goofy aah aah game.

Great to see that we have similar interests with Resident Evil and The Witcher. I could talk for hours on how much I love them. I want to check out the extra star wars content that Count mentioned too, those events after Episode VI seem interesting. If you're both interested in hack and slash games with great stories, I would strongly recommend you both to try Nier Replicant and Automata. Even trying these games for the music alone is worth it. The funny thing is I discovered who Youmu was after finding cool artwork of 2B. Youmu is equally cool and is still one of my favourites. Now that I've talked about video games, I might discuss my favourite animes as well.
