i'm making a game that is a collection of games gameception

Hey, It is this lad, Gou. Some may know me and well, to the ones that know me I have something to apologize for being immature, to leave you lads, Busk, Von, and Soda, and Issac if you are still here. I really do have lots of fond memories with you lads. I really treasure and cherish all the moments we spent. This might sound corny but I don’t feel good without a proper departure. I apologize again. Things were difficult past few years but now I am rediscovering myself, that also includes my love for Touhou. And I am glad to say that I have found my passion again. And who made those experiences of early Touhou for me better? That’s you guys! The moriya shrine! That I once called home. Now Touhou as a whole is my home now. Countvonumenor, I really glad that I met you and talked with you. I gained a lot of knowledge of Touhou and I even more, I love you passion of discussing Touhou to a whole. You really are an inspiration! Calling you a brother is not a lie. I really do see you as one von. Thanks for being who you are in this wonderful community. I know you will reach your goals, brother. Buskerdog, The Touhou game jam was an invaluable experience for me. I am really grateful that you included me as an artist that time. And on that note, I am so happy that I got participate in the Remix Tournaments twice. Thank you busk truly. Soda, you know because of you I improved a lot on my art and had a lot fun with the group. I appreciate your encouraging words on art! Thank you for being wholesome Soda! Issac, well I only got one thing to say for you. Thanks for being who you are. :> And all the other wonderful people on the shrine who have been warm to me, I thank every one of you. That’s all my lads. And thank you for having this Onigama Gou in the Moriya Shrine.

A few months ago, I was starting to feel like my professional writing was growing a bit stale. I was writing a lot of the same things, and it felt very routine. To shake myself out of this rut, I started an ongoing fan fiction where the audience would choose what happened next. The Gensokyo Survival Guide. It seems to have made an impression on a handful of people, whom I am very happy to write for. But there wasn't really a place to receive feedback or ideas. The handsome and charismatic Gri has suggested I make an OoC, but my life was hectic at the time and I struggled with where to put it. So, I am dropping it off here. :) If you have any comments or suggestions for the fan fiction, or any other projects I may undertake as Touhou fan fiction, feel free to leave me a message here! Whether its a review of the story so far, ideas for what might come later, or just complains that Team 9 has taken over the thread, I am overjoyed to hear you took the time to read my silly adventure. @Gri

There's a game out in the world called Shadowrun. Its a fantasy-cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game. In my own opinion, its kind of dumb and crap. I mean, the map of America has only one faction based on a fantasy race besides humans. But I was invited to a Shadowrun game. And seeing as I have no ideas, I decided to play as a Touhou character and see if anyone catches the references. But, I have a little problem. One I would like the advice of the loremasters of the Shrine with. My Idea Flandre de Bourgogne or as she prefers 'DJ Flan' is a young aspiring urban artist. She makes a decent living on personalized artwork, playing music at various clubs and has a good following for her graffiti artwork. She has a cozy basement apartment she keeps stuffed with her artwork and exploding toys. That said, she is a solitary figure with an odd sense of mannerisms. Being an elf, she is long-lived, and often grows bored. Trying to coerce strangers into children's card games to show her skill. "If you win, we get to be friends. If I win, I get to shoot you. With THIS gun!" is a favorite introduction of hers. She isn't completely isolated. She has an older sister who is head of the police force. Her sister Emilia is also a vampire, a family tradition provided when a family member proves themselves. Not that DJ Flan cares about that. She has a couple other friends, such as her family bodyguard who tutored her as a child, the neighboring rich family's delinquent daughter as well as a minor street gang called the Misty Fairies. She's not into Shadowrunning (imagine cyberpunk crime but with magic) for the money, but to have fun, and to find her missing best friend. My Problem So as you can see, its a pretty naked allusion to Flan. With enough blatant theft that a normie with any contact with Touhou will pick up hints. Which is good, because I normally don't associate Shadowrun with fun, while I usually associate Touhou with fun after I stop dying. The problem is Shadowrun is a game. And like most games, it has pesky things like 'rules'. Which mean I won't be able to play a goddess of destruction who is a master of danmaku, can split into four, and fights so well with a spear it only shows up on the box art and as a card. Instead, I need to choose a class or 'archetype' which will let me play out my fantasy of making obscure references to a Japanese video game older than the game master. Which is fine. Except I can't decide which set of skills to give my Not Flan. I won't bore you all with a breakdown of all the classes archetypes, but will give bullet-points on my ideas. Which basically amount to 'smacky Flan, shooty Flan, explody Flan'. I want to hear from you all, which 'feels' the most Flan, so I can stop being indecisive and get this ready by next month. Adepts: Adepts are wizards if they went to the gym instead. They use magic to buff their feeble noodle arms, making them masters of melee combat. Its also the most broken class in 6e. Which means Laevateinn is on the table, but danmaku is mostly out of reach. Which doesn't feel quite right. Combat Mage: Mages come in two flavors. Mind control/spirit summoning demigods and deadweight. That said, standard combat magic is sometimes useful, and it means danmaku is an option. Not to mention the rarity of standard mage players in the setting might make her stand out more. Thinking of focusing on explosives if I go this route, and may be able to arrange Four of a Kind with some work. Street Samurai: More or less the Terminator. They focus on melee or gun combat. If I go this route, I'll probably give her a pair of SMGs for the Danmaku spray, maybe with some explosives for that creative burst. So yeah, that's it. I'm indecisive about a roleplaying game I don't care for and want to post low-tier Flan memes. Help me become Flan, but in the future.

hmm today i am feeling very NINE CIRCLES

just a random image i saved :3

I am ever so glad to hear it! I started this idea both to flex my writing muscles outside what I was too used to, and to hopefully give my pals on the Shrine something fun to read on a dreary Monday. Originally I wanted to make my own Incident Resolver, but I thought it would be more fun with a character who couldn't fight. Which would (hopefully) elevate the sense of danger, and give the setting a closer feeling to what you or I might experience. Reimu might move through Gensokyo like she's its goddess, but for you or I, even a normal and friendly Gensokyo could be deadly. That's fair. I've picked up a few grammatical habits. Most work towards descriptiveness, but that one I struggle to shake. Its meant to build anticipation, but its one I'm a little too lazy with. :) As for his varying reactions, I'd argue in Kimiko's case, he was alone after being chased with Rumia when he encountered her. While with Agappa, she was passive, and he was surrounded by Team 9. Still, something emphasizing he feels more safe around them would help. The passiveness of some characters on the other hand is down to post length. On average, people get bored if I write more than 500 words or so, with longer chapters getting less votes and views. I imagine most read my writing on lunch breaks or while waiting on a download. So I try to condense my writing, which sadly means Oscar himself, Agappa, Wriggle and especially Mystia get less screen time. I've been considering editing this and posting it to a fan fiction site. With my readers here personified as bored Kami watching from elsewhere in Gensokyo. If I do, I'm hoping to add more emphasis here and there, make some minor changes, and (hopefully) give more scenes to various characters. Especially Mystia; poor girl's been almost dead silent. Will definitely post a link here if/when I do. I greatly appreciate the feedback! It'll make great notes when I edit this in the future. You're right, the CYOA part of the game makes this a little harder. I have a general idea of where I want each option to go, but sometimes writing it out I have to cut things for brevity, or had a bad day and try to streamline the writing. Simultaneously, I think it makes the world feel more alive. Had I been writing this just for myself, Oscar would have picked over a couple of bodies and ran so we could see more of Muenzuka, before being found by Chen or Nazrin. But the audience wanted him to hide behind a bush, and because of that, he met Rumia. Because he met Rumia, he had a more dynamic introduction to one of our antagonists, and then to Team 9. We've all read bad fan fiction, where a superpowered character makes friends with everyone while being better than them. I wanted Oscar to be something very different, and thanks in part to your votes, he is. The next chapter we'll probably split from Team 9 for now, while he meets familiar faces in the Human Village, and is stalked by a certain Forbidden Youkai. I can't wait to see where the story takes us all.

I love Mima.

Excuse me for the shorter reply, I know nothing about this game: Combat Mage. Honestly, you seem to answer your own question there. Danmaku, explosives, and Four of a Kind?! The answer should be obvious!

Hi, I had no idea what this post was until I found the actual story. It was so great that I ended up reading the entire thing :D I really really love how vivid and specific your imagery is. I was able picture almost every scene in my head :) You even make me want to write my own story, not like that will ever happen... By the way, I do have some criticisms: Some of your sentences starting with the word "Before" seemed to be a continuation of the previous sentence, and (I think) that's gramatically incorrect. For example, "The only warning Kimiko had was the low sound of ice forming, beneath her threats. Before a block of ice slammed into her..." Another criticism: The overall story, in my opinion, is a little inconsistent. Oscar would flee one situation out of total fear, but then approach a similar situation completely casually. (running from Rumia & talking to Agappa) Some of the characters randomly "come and go." Why does Wriggle/Mystia have a conversation once, then disappear from the story? Does Oscar still think this is a dream or has he accepted this as reality? Re-clarifying that might help explain his inconsistent actions. Please don't get me wrong here, I may have written lots of complaints but I still think your work is super great! In fact, I probably can't blame you for those problems mentioned- I'm sure making this a "Choose Your Own Adventure" makes it VERY hard to stay consistent, especially when you already have your own plot ideas in mind. Anyways, you made my day and I bet many others also enjoyed your story so far. I'm no writer, but I can tell this took a ton of time and effort. Keep it up!

“E~RIN!” (E~RIN) free pfp lol

Hello. I decided to sum up all the updates I made recently. Windshelm and Chocolate Oni decided to hide or delete their videos. More info here: But luckily their content was archived: https://archive.org/details/youtube-channel-archive-windshelm https://archive.org/details/YouTube-Channel-Archive-chocolateoni TheCritical / TheBlindingHeadache / Oriental Demon ( https://web.archive.org/web/20240124130145/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgMqLRD2nYBf2yhffNdlMxQ/videos ) hid all his videos. Mostly he made videos about launching Touhou related content on old devices. He also made good videos about PCB v0.09 (so as the videos are hid now and there are no other videos related to this topic, we need to find a replacement). He also deleted his second channel with playthroughs. https://web.archive.org/web/20230221151342/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdUrCWsMtmg (Forigve me father for I have Clowned) (is lost) (a very funny meme gameplay video by Clownplease (mostly about UM but there were scenes from Soku (or IaMP, I don't remember which fighting game) and LoLK)) Corona Radiance (Touhou inspired game) Windows Phone 7 versions (Full and Demo) are lost. Gameplay: Touhou Flash archive ( https://cloud.cirno.digital/index.php/s/K34oDXkePfktQMY ) is lost: Reversed DDC mod is lost (I just forgot to add this before). Gameplay: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1fx411V7Xi That is all for now.

I'm glad to hear it! Each post's opening is meant to be an excerpt from the book's various sections. Some flavor, perhaps some reference to the story. Most of them are droll reflavorings of my old Scouting handbook. But the description of the various races have to be my favorite. I feel like it gives the setting a lot of character, and opens up the idea that there are paths the average person can use besides violence when dealing with nonhumans. This one had a little extra love. Cirno's my favorite character from the series, both because of her tenacity and relatively low power level. But also because of her friends. Though that's largely fanon, I couldn't help but reference Cirno with that last line. I had a rough week at work, thinking up torments from Agappa was the highlight of it. Hoping for the group to reach the Human Village in next post or two, when Team 9 will split up from their new friend. They'll probably reappear intermittently as allies or to encourage Oscar. If the readers play their cards right, he may even talk them into joining Otherworldly Inc as one of his teams of adventurers. Ahh, that's always an option! Remember if there's a tie I have to play it out as if all those options were picked. I prefer one option be picked, since you guys lose interest the longer the posts get. But that's the rule I made for myself. My father once actually used salt instead of sugar for Christmas cookies. Ended up using them as ornaments for years.

Thanks, charismatic Yumetou (If you would have seen my attempt at starting a story.... you would see how "uncharismatic" my writing can be). Now for this week chapter (2024-05-12): I don't usually comment on that, but I quiet like this chapter's intro about Ice Fairies, and fairies in general. It's nothing new or ground-breaking, but it looks like a fairly accurate description of the childish behavior of the fairies (and since it's for Ice/Winter fairies, the behavior match kids playing in the cold). The added part about Ice Fairy being more isolated is nice and could help distinguish the various species. Now, for the actual chapter itself: Pretty simple. Aggapa is enforcing the Yamas judgment. Silly punishment for silly misbehavior. I will say, switching Salt and Sugar is the most EVIL. Annecdote: I already tasted a "Salt Cake". My grand-aunt swap the Salt and Sugar, and didn't tell anyone. When she died, her daughter cooked a cake using """Sugar""", then it look a bit weird, and tasted AWFULL. I am wondering: should I throw in a bit of a "chaotic" choice in there ?

Ice Fairies Like all Fairies, Ice Fairies are spirits of nature. Embodying the cold and winter, Ice Fairies tend to be solitary creatures. Their isolated nature leads to them having strange mannerisms and interests, often out of boredom. These hobbies tend to be banal compared to other fairies, such as tracing frost designs on windows or leaving designs in the snow. They are active in autumn and winter, but hibernate or migrate to colder areas by summer. Ice Fairies internalize heat around them to freeze their surroundings, and a warm environment naturally repels them. If an Ice Fairy is a nuisance to you and your property, you can repel one by sprinkling salt around your home, maintaining a hot temperature or by placing word puzzles and equations around your property. Like all Fairies, they will stop to try and solve them, losing interest in what they were doing. Alternatively, Ice Fairies tend to be lonely, and may be cajoled through treats and simple gifts. They may struggle to befriend others, but an Ice Fairy as an ally will always stand by you. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The group continued on their way down the lonesome road, the Youkai and fairies hurrying ahead of Oscar while they walked. The sound of Agappa’s footfalls somewhere behind him. It didn’t take a genius to realize they were trying to keep him between their unwanted companion. Only Cirno was brave, or foolish, enough to stay near him. Floating beside him with her arms crossed and eyes closed. Oscar knew that look. Plenty of kids and a couple ex-girlfriends had tried the same thing. Cirno wanted an apology, but wanted him to initiate it. Which wasn’t going to happen. She tried to leave him behind! A change in conversation would work. “Hey Cirno--” “Not talking to you.” “Why are you scared of Agappa?” The question swept through the group like a cold wind. Even Daiyousei seemed to tense at the words. Cirno’s head nervously turned, as if to make sure Agappa wasn’t standing too close. “O-Osu, I know you are new here, but be careful. She can make bad things happen like--” The branch across the road was something neither noticed until it struck Cirno across the back of the head. Sending her spinning in place, until her head careened into the ground. Standing up, she rubbed her head. Pointing triumphantly to where she fell. “See Osu? She knew we were talking about us, so she made that branch knock me down!” Oscar might have expected Agappa to be offended, but from her place at the back of the group she seemed to watch bemusedly. As Cirno glared over his shoulder, she simply raised one hand with a blank expression. Waving mutely. “Grr, she’s so mean!” Cirno muttered to herself. The other members of Team 9 were slowing now, both to check on Cirno, and perhaps hoping Oscar would shelter them from the Youkai. “But...why do you dislike her so much? I mean, she’s just standing there.” “Its all a guise, Osu!” Cirno whispered, insistently. The others only nervously nodding. “Last week, we stole a pie from the Hakurei Shrine…” Even the mention of it seemed to make her salivate. Both hands rising as though to grasp the phantom pie. A low groan escaped the others at the thought too. All except Rumia, who looked downcast. “A delicious peach pie...but the Yamas don’t like stealing from shrines, so they sent Agappa after us.” “...And...I mean you’re all okay. She can’t be that ba--” “She put an oil heater in my house! When I came back, it was melted! And she drank my last cherry ramune!” “She swapped the sugar and salt in my izakaya…” Mystia continued. Tears sprouting in her eyes, before burying her face in her hands. “The customers were so mad!” “She stuck fly paper on me while I was sleeping in a bush!” Wriggle protested, antennae and wings trembling with rage. “It took me all day to pull it off, and tore out my hair!” “I’m hungry…” Rumia murmured pensively. The four turned, gazing back expectantly at Daiyousei. The green-haired fairy glanced from Cirno, to each of her other friends in turn, slowly realizing they were expecting her to speak. “Well...I wasn’t there, but I did find two brown rabbits in my flower patch that afternoon.” “SEE! See Osu! She’s a monster!” “I like rabbits…” =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = "I keep on hearing about these 'Yamas', what are they, and how do they know you're misbehaving?" = “Well, maybe we can talk this over. Ask Agappa about all this, and lets get the situation resolved. Who knows, she may go easy on you if you're friends.” = "Sooo...she only does what her bosses tell her to, right? How were you even caught?" = "I'm convinced. On the count of three, I pick you all up and run, got it?"

I was really different years ago. Hehe, I'm glad to have found this community. That's all

I sometimes use the phrase "presidential adhesive renovations" to practice handwriting (I do this a lot when I'm bored), because quick brown fox gets boring after a while. I shortened it to "presadhereno", which sounded extremely odd at first but began to slowly make more sense as I kept repeating it. I'm satisfied with the name because the elaboration of its origin is funny due to its absurdity. "where did your username come from?" "presidential adhesive renovations." "...what?"

i'm stuck on 2-1 in puyo puyo tetris 2 :((((( btw did you know that most people suck at tetris?
