Idkism

it's a conversion thing, called revert8plus, unlike stuff like Openshell and windowblinds and all that, i think it injects into the dlls of windows 10, so it's literally a windows 7 conversion into win 10

It's quite barren, but i like it this way, don't mind the music players, trying out some :3 if only you said simple instead of clear, that would've been even more simple...and clean.

Well the thing is, there's really nothing to disprove the existence of magic in the Outside World, i'm totally fine with magic being there, it clarifies Sumireko's entire thing with the occult powers, and strengthens Sanae's point The problem isn't with magic existing, it's with magic not being in modern times, you can point to a lot of things, the belief in science, atheism, or just that some things are forgotten, magic DOES exist in the Outside World, it's just that noone remembers and/or believe in them let's just take Sumi for example, by believing in the occult and making the Hifuu Sealing club, the faith and belief is there for the magic of the occult to work, leading to the games and the sleep bullshit. I'm not going to the hifuu CDs, since i have very limited knowledge of them, but what luki said, it's all about Believing.

I'm bored as hell, let's talk hypotheticals. Let's say that, for some damn reason, the Hakurei barrier breaks, you can say it's the Lunarians going Lunatic mode and say fuck all to the balance of the world, some crazy, angry Youkai God or Yukari just fucking with the residents (both are basically the same thing but you get me, you're a smart...individual), how would this pan out? Of course, you can say "Oh, the Outside World's gonna go extinct because of the wild Youkai!" or "Oh, all Youkai would starve from the lack of faith/fear!", but I want an *actual* answer that's not just a cheap copout, so...let's think about it. We all know how Gensokyo works, it's a magical place (not a secluded dimension iirc, so y'know, it's not the cliché Isekai shit) where the forgotten creatures of old reside! And y'know, also humans but fuck them, whatever, how it works is that, 1800-ish years ago, the 3 Sages came, did some barrier, and invited Youkai, now the thing here is that...well, if you think about it, any "mythological concept" can realistically work. I mean, what are "Youkai" in the context of Gensokyo? Most of them are either races taken from Japanese Mythology (Tanukis, Kitsunes, Kappas, etc...) or ACTUAL concepts taken from Japanese/Japanese resident mythology (take the MoF goddesses F.E, both of them take some stuff from lake Suwa and the things that are around it), sure it's not a 1 on 1 copy, but it wouldn't really be tasteful for the Japanese audience, now would it? Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, Gensokyo is basically a huge gathering of "faithless" concepts, basically how it goes is "Concept is in the Outside World > faith dwindles due to X reason > they 'die' > Gensokyo" So, take the idea into literally any other concept, and boom. Now you might say "Oh, but why isn't there any other concepts in Gensokyo appart from East-Asian mythos?" It's simple... ZUN doesn't give a shit (I know, lazy answer, but c'mon...) okay seriously though, it's just that ZUN makes shit ambiguous, and one of them is well...this entire discussion. Whatever, where am I going with all this? it's simple, way I see it, we're getting a Shin Megami Tensei scenario, if you don't know shit about the series, lemme give you the rundown... Demons from all mythos are somehow in the real world, depending on the games you have a "Demon summoning program" (DDS for short), basically lets you recruit demons, talk and negotiate with them, yada yada... How the world WORKS is different in most games, but the common thing is that humanity is getting the short end of the stick, and you have factions for the demons, Chaos, Neutral and Law as an oversimplification. so, how I see it is, once this barrier goes down, it's gonna be complete chaos for the next few days, y'know everyone fighting each other... the catch is, the Youkai we see in Gensokyo are much more civilized than...well, demons. so, after all the chaos dwindles, humanity doesn't get killed or simply "enslaved", they basically become bargaining chips and life sources for the Youkai. let's just group each "faction" and try to...quantify this shit : >Law : Well, it's not that simple, but how I see it, it's not just gonna be A God, but more like a council of Gods, or in this case Goddesses, you can put most Goddesses with an actual following in this category; Keiki, the Moriya girls, etc... >Neutral : These are gonna be the normal, but not generic Youkai, they're gonna work more with fear than simple faith, but we'll see how it'll work >Chaos : These...are basically New Hell, basically take the Yakuza BS they made, and boom! That's how I see it work, I'm really curious to hear from y'all, and y'know, if you agree with this schizo rambling at 3AM, you guys can put some characters in this "faction" system.

-Hello there Crab, and hello to everyone else in this lil thread! I did go into my backstory on some recent thread, so no need to retype it, i've been wanting to get into the forums due to my...break from the discord, so i hope everything would go smooth. -Byakuren, and i mean...i think it's obvious, don't you think? XD -I don't necessarily have a particular theme, ZUN's music is one of the things that haven't regressed for the guy, he knows his stuff, but if i had to give a game, i'd say IN or UFO, those were what i'd say his standout scores to me. -As much as i'd say Kuroneko, i wouldn't consider them a doujin circle, y'know, one man army, basically moved on from touhou, yadda yadda. Although my favorites would be... EastNewSound, i really like their stuff (and also c'mon, i'm just a sucker for EDM in general). -UFO, bar none, i just love how each stage can be setup for maximum gain via the ufo system, it's a really well made gimmick that actually makes the stages important in a touhou game, instead of them just being "waiting areas with fairies to shoot". -While i can agree on the high skill ceiling part, there are some insane techniques you can do on the OG FGs (pre 12.3), flight cancelling, high execution combos that require some really tight timing, etc... I don't really think that the implementation is genius, for me touhou can't be completely made into a 2D fighter, i find a more...3D arena fighter with air battles, it's a series with magical girls battling in the sky with magic bullets! Don't get me wrong, Twilight Frontier did a really nice job translating the formula from bullet hell to 2D fighter, but to me at least, i don't find it a complete translation. But of course, you don't need to be good at them, they're not a SF, TK, KOF etc... they're just made for casual fun, you can be competitive in them sure, but y'know, it's a choice lol. Yeah, same... Hell, i just want more representation in the games, sure the mangas and extra material is nice, and you can't go wrong with a few fanfics... but really, i'm kinda getting sick of ZUN making new stuff for the sake of it, i'm not saying to not make new characters, that's just dumb, but like... if we're just having new characters for the new game (ahem and lost word gachafarming ahem), at least make them a bit more involved... The old characters are on the abyss, and the new characters are too undeveloped to care for, but whatever, maybe i'm just complaining for the sake of it lol.

Well, mine's pretty straightforward, get introduced to Touhou, really like the universe around it, and also wanna play some games I hear some talks about this website, and i eventually use it! Piracy here in my country isn't really seen in a bad light, so it's a no-brainer Around August of last year, i wanted to do something for the community, so i contributed my 1st album, which eventually...well, you're seeing it. Hard to believe it's only been around 8 months since then...

It would be nice if the forums gets more crowded, but what can you do. The entire dynamic of responding is vastly different, not to mention the brand name, yada yada... Now, to answer the big question of "can the discord server be good?", all i have to say is: It can, but you'll find more enjoyment listening to a schizo ramble away rather than actually be there. All i'm saying is, it has quite the odd taste Whatever, Discord itself's an odd taste to be honest, it's reputation preceeds itself

Man i hate it when God just drops a new update with no hype, c'mon man...

Honestly? i just want a bit of variety in the community We still meme the same stuff, talk about the same stuff, and DO the same stuff we've been doin for the past few years, c'mon people! Fangames are fine, they're a labor of love from a bunch of dedicated fans to the community, which should always be cherished, although, but personally i would love a coop game staring a duo, i've been playing some Ys X, so the entire concept's grown on me, and also... who would like some local fun with their buddy~? Maybe some RPG or a roguelike, i wouldn't go for something too ambitious, these ARE fangames after all, but just some silly, fun stuff Music, art and the like are in a very good position, so it's all good!

Ah damn...well, at least grab it while it's free! Who knows? Maybe you'll play it or smth lol Thank you! Love this place

mmm...comfy thread

finally, we can actually nuke the nuke, retribution for that dumb bird

hey y'all, getting used to the forum...stuff lol It looks pretty cozy over here, so i think i'll visit sometimes! anyways...uhh... Oh yeah, Muse dash is free on the play store, crazy, so grab the oppertunity

Baka bakaing the...baka... yes

We're on the "Perfect Sun Incident"; just wait a bit for it to stop xD
