the interesting part about Rensenware is that as far as I know, it doesn’t come with the game on its own, yet I vividly remember trying to play it. my best guess is that was a very deliberate prank set up by someone on some file sharing place or something.

I’ve tried most of the better known danmakufu games, one of the mahjong games, thoroughly hooked right now on Lost Branch of Legend, and watched a friend play Artificial Dream in Arcadia. Plus a random dozen of other small games from gamejams and such. Asprey on youtube also covers a lot of fan content, so I watch them once in a while.

it feels like I’ve basically always been aware of touhou. Through stuff like Bad Apple or Ronald MacDonald Insanity, or Perfect Math Class. It’s always been some kinda nebulous connection between random parts of the internet, something people kept talking about in passing. My first actual run in with a game was actually Rensenware, even tho at the time I didn’t realize it. Don’t remember where I even got it from, but my parents had to give the computer to a Guy who managed to unlock it.

then, maybe 5-6 years ago I started going through the games just out of sheer curiosity, and got thoroughly hooked on EOSD. Fast forward 3 ish years from that, and now I constantly have a couple tabs open on the wiki, learning Touhou songs on piano, trying some fan games and reading official and fan written works, getting into the weird ends like KKHTA or Osana Reimu, etc etc… I find everything about it so immensely comforting now, and it’s genuinely got me through a bunch of rough times. Feels kinda weird to say that, but das how it be hahah

ahh, that’s the reason she wears only black and white, camouflage

I could never get the hang of a mocha pot, any method I’ve tried kept coming out kinda bitter and lackluster :c

somehow i’ve never considered that she might have more hair inside that hat

mhm

Have you ever heard the sound of a rubber ball breaking a window?

pretty sad to see the 19s dropping so much, I liked them quite a bit. to be fair, I haven’t seen many fan works with them so far, outside of Artificial Dream in Arcadia, so they didn’t get much traction after 19 itself. here’s hoping that the community comes around to them in the future

might’ve taken it as defending the soyboy designation lol

Ooh neat, thanks, I’ll read up on that

I dunno, just mentioning what I’ve heard before, hence the ‘afaik’

afaik, it’s not really a myth. it does actually have plenty of phytoestrogens and it’s often recommended as a supplement for HRT. Probably not enough to have much of an effect on its own though

yeah, I definitely agree there, not to mention that “authoritarian left” is self contradicting to begin with. It’s a pretty direct two-word description though, I find, and better than just calling them “tankies” which is even more vague

the thing about hexbear isn’t just that they’re far left, but that they are violently auth-left, and live in a huge echo-chamber, as most instances defederated from them. plenty of far left people are actually very grounded and human compared to them, see slrpnk.net and the an-soc instances. while they have strong opinions, they won’t immediately wish death upon you if your views clash

thats not kerning, that’s justification ☝️🤓️

kerning refers to the spacing between individual letters in the words, and justification is a method of typograghic alignment where space between words is stretched to make text flush with both left and right margins

far as I’ve heard, Mint can be iffy fhen it comes to games, mostly because they use an outdated kernel. I can also recommend something like Endeavor if the gamer in question has any knack for tech, or Nobara, which is made specifically for gaming by GloriousEgg, maintainer of ProtonGE

It’s her third eye, which let’s her read the minds of others. by some infamous interpretations, the eye is actually Satori herself, and she just pilots that body like a meat robot

"by waking up today, you consent to continue existing, and acknowledge the suffering it brings. Do you wish to continue?”

[yes] [yes]

no the fuck I do not. If I had a magicall button that would let me stop existing without the risk of damaging my neck and spending the rest of my life incapacitated but alive, and it didn’t cause trauma to the people around me, I would have pressed it fucking years ago.

vast statistical majority overwhelmingly consent to live

what disgusting mental acrobatics
