fair point, not like you promised youd know the answer lol

would liking meiling with pants on send me to hell?

love seeing yoshika look so silly with her mouth agape while everyone else looks normal, y'know what at this point looking silly is her default anyways i think this looks pretty cool, love how much is done with how few lines there are

Imma be real with you man, I have absolutely no idea, haven't colored anything since yesterday qnd before that since grade school. But i think it's the quality of the pencil since i did have color pencil back then (they were of assorted brands) and i remember some not sticking very well on the paper making the color pop less so i tossed those aside in favor of a same color one but from a different brand. But it looking gray is bit odd, I had it happen when i was messing around with the crayons but that was because they were touching each other for who knows how long do their colors got melded together. Guess I should get some to figure this one out

bro's desktop is like my social life, perfectly clean and clear

a messy one, should prolly clear some out

i found some crayons that i havent touched since grade school and thought "hey i can do something with these" and then well, uhmm... yeah its telling of my ability to color isn't it...

at some point win10 is gonna be the same as window where the moment you connect to the internet a hundred malwares is already gonna be installed in your system with how much exploits hackers are gonna find and microsoft is not gonna patch it so at some point using win10 further is gonna get more and more dangerous. and the only response microsoft has to people with weaker machines is to just buy a better one like, the whole reason i have a weak machine is because i aint got the money to buy a better one let alone buying an activation key for like a $100 which they totally expect you to do. you'd expect with advancement in technology qol would get better but instead its getting worse and worse, can't even have an os that works right out of the box without any useless nonsense that comes with the package

windows 10 is the optimal choice for my 15 years old machine. can't really be rocking a win11 but with win10 about to be destroyed i'm confused on what to do, I can switch to linux which is way less hungry for resources but its like i gotta assemble my motorcycle before riding it and so much games i want to play cant even work for it so its not an option, meanwhile microsoft is a piece of shit and i can never get used to win11 no matter how much ive been exposed to it

dude imagine a beat em up game where touhou character put on a tokusatsu hero outfit and the bad guy youkais would always turn into a kaiju by their final phase so the protags would form some sort of megazord and the game would revert back into a danmaku fight but with a big robots

the funny spoon lady from touhou 19 i think she looks goofy as hell just a sakuya supposed to be a yukkuri aunn, does it look like her? should I have made the ears bigger? its remilia on a one piece swimsuit but i dont wanna get my shit rocked by the mods soo... kyaa~ my doggo

i'm not sure how this whole simulator thing works so this might sound asinine but I think the best way to go about this is to reduce the number of districts since there is so few of us (if that is even possible but if not then put a dunce hat over my head) if that is not possible then i think Crab's idea of adding NPCs is the way to go. But I think that's gonna diminish the social aspect of it since almost half are not even real people, but that's what I think atleast. but seriously though 24 is gonna be hard to wrangle, and who knows if others just forgot about it since its been on the back burner for so long

i'm really not buying this whole gensokyo 2 thing, it feels like everything about it should've been in gensokyo 1 to begin with only if ZUN 1 got off his ass to update it instead of leaving further development to his estranged little brother ZUN 2. This whole situation is reminding me of the Overwatch 2 situation again, like none of this justifies a sequel when in reality it could've just been one massive update/overhaul to gensokyo 1. Things we've all asked for many years now are only getting implemented now for the sequal like: -Renaming the former hell to "Hell Begins" so that it would be the perfect setup for a 3rd one, -Finally revealing the hakurei god that everybody and their mother already knows (thanks to MatPat) as John Riccitiello -Removing Tewi -Making the games free to play but the different character and shot types are unlockable through battlepasses And thats just a few of many requests that fans have had for many years now. Overall I'm not impressed by this decision. I think we should start a movement to change this into just one big update instead of a sequel else we might just make the series more intimidating to newcomers with there being two universes by two different people. Also ZUN 2 should just pack it up and drink beer at a riverside outhouse in Yokohama, we don't need his weird alien invasion arc that's supposed to be about how capitalism is plaguing modern society and would later cause a wide spread of femboy culture

feels like objects that somehow became alive and grew organic parts, or perhaps they're living things imitating objects, i'm not really sure but thats just my interpretation and i like it

heyya I wanna be frenss

same guy can get killed by like 4 arrows (still 3 more arrows than what a normal guy can take) or one creeper explosion without armor so I guess he just invested lots of his stat into Strength but not as much into vitality. I think almost all can kill him but he can kill them just as easily, like all of them are just basic mobs. But I recon Sakuya would be a hard counter to his shield if she pulls a Dio Brando on him

After reading up on the Hifuu Club lore I certainly agree with the video saying this is just a way for ZUN to put out his thoughts. Nah I'm just kidding it's more than just that, but with how much the world is pretty much built as what ZUN might imagine a distopian future to be I can't help but think that way about it. It's like a world where humans just "figured it out" and most are now able to live in relative luxury thanks to increase in scientific discoveries that drastically improves quality of life to the point diseases are sort of a think of the past. But no matter how much it is insisted that this is a distopian future I can't help but think it's actually a better future with how life has improved but at the cost of how 'real' things are and the lack of needing to discover anything new. So much food is artificial like bamboo shoots, eggs, and strawberries (and probably more) but you still gotta ask, is it really that bad? If it tastes the same, looks the same, behaves the same, with the only difference is that it was grown in a lab or something, does it really matter? If such methods would actually be more cost and space efficient while also not having negative side effects, wouldn't that be a net positive if you consider how much animals are kept in pens only for their parts and other produces to be harvested and how much land is being used to produce crops. I've never eaten anything artificial before in my life and heck they're probably more expensive now compare to just buying the real stuff, but in a future where more efficient ways of producing them are found and are way cheaper it would be the optimal choice to go for them. But then again it feels weird eating something that tastes and looks the same as something else despite not really being it, like, imagine eating mantis shrimp where there is so little meat compared to the exoskeletons that are just thrown away (heck you probably paid more for the carapace than the meat itself), but if you can make the meat artificial and even increase the volume wouldn't that be better? But still there is still a lingering feeling I would have knowing all this is just lab grown whateverthefucks. Speaking of artificial, the whole 53 min shinkansen ride is pretty impressive if it were a real thing, like getting from one side of the country to another in that speed is so beneficial it's makes me wonder what's so bad about it. Well the tunnel of said underground shinkansen is actually one straight line and in order to do that they had to tunnel under Mt.Fuji and they had to go through a load of hooplas to change Mt.Fuji into an extinct volcano. Oh and they also dug through suicide forest but not disclose it to the puclic for obvious reasons... Okay now those are pretty scary stuff, like going underneath a volcano (they classified it as extinct but who know if it is safe or not since it is obviously just so they can get the greenlights for the construction) and who knows how much ghosts you're gonna piss off going underneath aokigahara. But still though that kind of high speed transportation has so much benefits for everyone it almost out weights the potential cons. But the highlight of the trip was the panoramic windows the hides the fact that the real ride is underground and the real world above is nowhere better. But still ignoring the very fake outside view, it still is a benefit to make life better, even if there is no fake view i imagine people would still take it due to how convenient it is despite looking so barren and dead without the fake outside views. But aside from the artificial stuff, it seems that the world of the Hifuu Club is one where rationality and truth are valued above all else and anything that can't be explained through science is considered to be false. And in a world where rationality is placed at such high regards and the means of accessing information is so readily available it pretty much killed creativity and ZUN really emphasizes that part, a world so rational that all the old beliefs tied to religions, myth, and folklores have been ignored (but no necessarily forgotten). ZUN used a term something along the lines of Japan being the "Graveyard of the gods" or something similar to paint the picture here, Japanese traditions and folklores are so vast and integrated into their lives and getting to the point that it all just get ignored is just sad. But there is this part about the Torifune station that broke down that carried a bunch of animals that ZUN called a sort of Noah's Ark and in it was a shrine dedicated to a deity of safe travels that was worshipped by people going to space which tells us the old gods and myths were never forgotten, just ignored when they're help was not needed but we still come back to them if the situation requires it. How I interpret this is not just people forgetting about gods, myths, and folklores because they don't believe in them or their existence have been disproven but rather they were used to explain the unknowns during ancient times, but since humanity has long progressed in technology, we soon find out answers for our questions that doesn't involve the supernatural as was with ZUN's will-o-wisp example. But when it comes to exploring the vast and still somewhat unknown outer space they still pray to a god for safe travels. And regarding ZUN's vision of a future of rationality with no room for creativity, I actually think we're already here just like what kymoh said. But I highly doubt we'll completely forget about them, I believe they'll still remain in our consciousness as a form of a meme (yknow the kind the magnet guy in MGR is on about), like me for example who doesn't really believe in the religion in our place but I still understand when they talk about it or joke about it and whether I like it or not, it is undeniable that whatever values I have right now were formed with the help of said religion as everyone around me taught me the same things. And beyond the people around me, medias have also had imageries and themes of that religion so even if I go away from this place I will still see references to it in the games I play and stories I read, and so in a way these creative works are also a way for us to spread our myths, folklores, and culture, just as Touhou increased interest in all things Japanese culture related. So I don't it will be forgotten as in erased from memory but rather just less believers, but the impact they have had on our cultures are so drastic its virtually impossible to get rid of and will be this ever present ideas the our collective consciousnes. Anyways I've yapped long enough Merry and Renko should've just kissed and be done with it

I just find that the touhou fighting games are one of the craziest high skill ceiling fighting games with also one of the most genius implementation of the original series gimmick into fighting game form which is why I really like them (though i am actually very bad at them). I could also relate to you having puzzle games as a favorite despite not being into the genre. My all time favorite is Outer Wilds and I only decided to play it after everybody and their mother told me to play it but not look up anything about it and it is just as good. Anyways that Antichamber game looks kinda wacky so I might actually see what thats all about

Your favorites are the fighting games? That's based

I'd prolly be a sort of tsukumogami, something about the idea of becoming more than what you were intended to be just resonates with me. As far as I know tsukumogamis are objects that gains consciousness or a spirit after existing for 100 years with varying tendencies being either out for your neck or just vibing. Actually the reason why I like the idea of tsukumogamis is that one of the first mangas I read (actually the very first) was one about tsukumogamis and in that story they use their powers to be of use to their owners or to seek revenge on humans for the abuse/slavery they had experienced. I really love this idea of building ones identity to be more than what they were made/destined to be and how they decide to use their newly obtained awareness of their existence and the potential they hold within them. Existentialism, basically. As for what kind... I'd say a Kameosa which is just a living, walking, talking jug. It is always filled with water and never seems to run out and so it just becomes a free water source for humans and thus are welcomed by them, and the Kameosa are grateful for it. But technically a jug can hold other kinds of liquid... and water would be too plain and boring... so I will choose my favorite kind of liquid, brandy! Let my presence be known throughout Gensokyo by the strong musk of alcohol looming from across the field! I'm not even sure if they'd like the taste, but it's not about the taste of the liquor... it's about how quickly it gets you hammered! Since youkais in Gensokyo take the appearance of humans most of the time then I guess I'd blend right in with the human village but it would be obvious that I'm not human since I would be suspiciously inseparable with a bottomless jug of liquor. I would spend my days doing menial works but at night or weekends I'd be asking humans and other youkais alike to go drinking with me, afterall, it is more fun to take a swig of the happy juice with the homies and get destroyed together than alone. I don't care what you are, a fucking banana tree, a loner cat, shapeshifting trash pandas, beings of god-like powers, I'm gonna walk up to you and offer a some shots and preferably with a game accompanying our little break from this world. As for what I'd be in a touhou bullet hell game I'd prolly be the extra boss that tried hiding away from the incident resolvers cuz some dudes with god-like powers got heated over each other on the previous nights session and are now wreaking havoc and no way I'm gonna get caught for being the reason an incident occurred even though I didn't intended it to happen. But also think about what I can do assuming I can bend the liquids that I produce, I could make it hard by not necessarily having difficult patterns but by inflicting a debuff with each time the player dies by my hands like I'm slowly getting them drunk. Each deaths makes the screen hazy and can make them see double or triple while slowing down movement at random intervals that gets more frequent with each death. Definitely annoying and unfair to fight but hey I'm just a dude with liquor I gotta fight dirty, it's all I can do.
