  1. Past hour
  2. If this game is lagging, or any other games that were made in danmakufu, this one just seem to be the biggest offender, even if the GPU is not being used that much and you actually have a decent or better GPU that's from NVIDIA, it could be because you have the "Maximum Frame Rate" in your NVIDIA Control Panel turned on, turn it off and then try to run the game, it caused my game to run at 5FPS because I set max FPS to 60FPS, I have no idea why it does that, image below for some kind of direction, sorry that's in Portuguese, in English it's probably something like "3D Settings -> Manage 3D Settings", if that still doesn't work and your PC is decent, try restoring the standard settings, else, I don't know. If you have a GPU from another company, try doing something similar. Also, if your NVIDIA Control Panel doesn't open, open the "Task Manager" and go to "Services", search for "NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem", if the service is stopped, press the right mouse button on it and press start, if it already is running, try restarting it, else, I don't know how to fix it, googling about it might help.

  5. After the LoZ trifecta of soundtracks, it becomes difficult to choose which entries to highlight. I determined to feature Link’s Awakening, because I knew it was well liked by some musicians I respect, and because it was apparently popular enough to get a thorough remake. This was a GameBoy release, and as such its soundtrack is entirely quad-channel 8-bit. I’ve heard this utilized with stunning complexity, but find older soundtracks don’t accomplish those levels. The redeeming quality of said soundtracks tends to be their powerful melodies, which transcend their presentation and endure into nostalgia. In theory, Link’s Awakening is such a soundtrack; however, it’s worth noting the attempts at altering the sounds to differentiate between different instruments. That aside, I think it may also be one of those OSTs better to experience through the game, because I’ve had a difficult time appreciating it without. To many of the motifs sound like other melodies I’ve heard elsewhere, sometimes implying leitmotif but other times simply being atmospheric patterns the composers have used in past projects. Figuring out what counts as s unique motif or otherwise has been rather confusing. Nonetheless, I’m sure there’s something to it; my brief look into the remake’s soundtrack impressed me, and made we wonder about the significance of instrumentation being dependent upon the strength of melody. A query for another day, perhaps. (I’m on mobile this week, and I can’t get the formatting to work properly; I’ll fix it when I’m able.) For comparison:
  6. @Nekofire I will try to offer quick, concise answers to your questions: I am not very sure tbh. Military History basically became almost some sort of personality trait somewhere before middle school, when I was just consuming everything I could find in the field and was available in Romania (that was before I started using the Internet). But if I were to find something more interesting, that would probably be Victorian era warfare and evolution of everything in terms of conceptions, technology and the context/causes leading to the wars of that period. Probably I should extend the topic to 1918, since the First World War is just as interesting of a topic Probably any country where I could study in English As far as I have checked, I have only checked what was offered though Youni if you ever heard of it. With the information I have introduced, it only gave me 10 results from the UK, like you can see in this image: I was already told that I should be slowly looking for a job and apply for different things, but I just do not know where to try, what to focus on and what skills do I have in order to make best use of them. Luckily, I started to go to career counseling recently, but it will take a while until we could draw a conclusion on that side. As in sacrificing 1-2 years once I take my bachelor diploma, it probably depends on what I will end up doing. I will probably be already be working by then, so it depends. This is actually a discussion I had earlier today with one of my professors from Political Science. He was greatly complaining about the very bad shape of military studies in Romania (bluntly put, "all idiots got in there, and it's the worst field of history study in our country right now"). There's a lot he mentioned, from god-awful methodology to low standards and even lower chances of actually doing anything with that diploma (but that is a longer discussion, related to Romanian education, values and research/scientific culture). His conclusion was that I would be coming better off if I decide following Security Studies, especially since the master on that recently introduced a greater emphasis on the military and security side due to the ongoing war in Ukraine (right next to us). That is a second option I could think of, and one I really would have opted for if our bachelor program had a department for Security Studies in English (they only have one in Romanian). Despite all that, I thin that if I keep in touch with him on the topic of "what will come next", I think I might have the chance to make myself a useful contact for any possible needs in the future. I am not seeking to be extremely rich from my work. I would like to have enough to ensure my life even with the current issues going, and also a little bit to put aside both for retirement and being able to enjoy life. I think it is very important for me to be able to enjoy what I am doing, so that it would feel less like a chore. I noticed that if I really like what I am doing, I have a much easier time fulfilling that task no matter how hard it is, and am more productive. I always like when I earn new things and gain new experiences out of what I am doing as well. Hope I am not forgetting something...
  7. Don’t you mind answering a few questions ? It might help me finding a solution for you :) - What precisely do you want to study in military history ? - Which country can you go to for your study ? Just give me a list without paying attention to how much it would cost ^^ - Have you really checked all the possibilities you have in your country and in the others ? If yes, don’t you mind telling me how ? - What are you ready to do in order to get in this course ? Like, can you "sacrifice" a year or two working to earn enough money to pay your course - Does it really bothers you not doing the study you want ? - What do you want for your future work : make your passion your job, money, opportunities, discovering new things (not gonna make a full list ^^) So that’s all for the moment :P
  8. I actually got that book as a PDF as soon as you wrote the reply. Now I am quite curious to read it...
  9. Alright, some things got for the better now, others have gone the same. There are still some issues that put pressure on me, and have come back to bite me: Yesterday, I have attended some presentations in regards to economy, job opportunities and career. In a discussion following the final presentation, when I asked what could I do if I am interested in History despite being a Political Science bachelor student, I was advised about continuing my studies abroad. But here is the problem - if I wanted to study Military History (my field of interest), and for some reason online platforms I checked only give me results from the UK out of the whole world, I have to pay anywhere between 15k and 30k pounds as a foreigner every year. And I do not have those money. It gets even worse in the case of the US, where I really do not afford to spend 50K a year for History courses (for context, in Romania I am studying in a tuition-fre system for my full 3 year bachelor cycle). I know funding and scholarship are a thing, but I just do not know how to access them, and how much would they actually cover out of the costs. Besides, I am still feeling reluctant about the general idea of leaving the country, even if gives me greater opportunities, and I would have to go again through the bachelor cycle (as implied by options like studying at the Brunel University). I have just 1 year of the bachelor cycle left, and I am supposed to slowly decide what I will do with my life afterwards, what job to look for or how/where to continue my education. But I do not even know where to start from. I could have studied and get the same master degree here in Romania, without the need to get again through the bachelor cycle. However, it is not as well seen in Romania, and possibilities are so much more limited in terms of what I could do afterwards. Even if you could get into anything to work, usually that work is very poorly paid. Here, you have less chances to actually do something with your degree than what you could do abroad, where they actually value you for your capabilities and interests. I really do not know what should I do, or how to find a good solution that would be both useful in the long run and satisfy any needs.
  10. Last week
  11. I Beat it on easy!!! This game is really good! Recommended 10/10!
  12. GOOD MORNING BROS OF THE 61CITY I HOPE YOU ARE ALL DOING WELL TODAY AT 61ECITY WHEREVER YOU MAYBE from 61ecity to the reserve to 61eheaven to 61ehell I hope you are all chilling, drinking good water, sleeping on a nice bed and eating some really good food with whoever you find nice to be with. I am here happy as can be drinking some san pellegrino my mom gave me. I love pellegrino, I really do, its some really good fucking sparkling water and honestly to tell you the truth i cant get enough of it. I dont care if normal water was here, if el dios from the sky above told me that I could only choose between two things, that the sea have only pure fiji level drinking water or the water of san pellegrino, I would go to the latter any time of the week. Anyway, thats enough about me. I just wanted to make a quick 61e Talk of the town to keep all the 61e bros in 61ecity up to date. 61e-NA Nothing too special in the 61e side of things that you should be aware of besides the fact that events are still going to be held at 7pm EST as per usual. However, this may change to 8pm depending on what happens in the coming weeks with attendance. To early to say and we will see then. Some great things to happen during the last NA event, man it was something crazy. I know I might be biased because I am the colonel and all but damn that was some fun event. If you consider how everything turned out, it was like a... dare I say it.... an IRL WAR. It was awesome, when the enemies all brought rockets firing straight down at us, we continued to march to them anyway. We were not afraid and we withstoof all everything the had to throw at us and once we finally engaged with the 84th, we made a valiant charge with the cavalry. Just in the nick of time when once we clashed and things were beginning to seem sour BOOOM!!! the 61e arty bros come to carry the day the 61e artillery crackshots FLY and Jerry made some of the best arty shots I have ever seen. Their firing was so precise, and while that was going on, some of our best bros, Selic and Hessian were holding out the horde the best they could. Ahh, I wish I could remember who it was, near the end of that moshpit of devastation and carnage that melee was, only a handful of players from both sides remained, I cant recall who it was there, the last 61e, he may have been a cavalry players, lets just callhim bro X, X was there with another friend, bro Y were both outnumbered against the much more capable 84th meleers. Y managed to take down one of the enemies before getting killed himself. Then X managed to take one opponent down. Then when we realized it would come down to a dramatic 1v1 to decide who would win the round, a cannon flying from the sky, probably guided by the shrine maiden herself went straight to the last opponent. A beautiful shot by fly, a photo or video could never portray the absolute beauty of that shit at the last possible second. All of the 61e was cheering and we knew that we had won a very important round. All in all, it was a great event besides that, but damn that was something really great to see. Also as a quick note, we have released a new NW server called FASTEST CAV GROUPFIGHTING. it is just a normal cav server but finally na now finally has a cav server with the fastest speed. Finally... 61e - EU With the EU side of thigns, many of you who are active with us will know that there has been a bit of a Cav resurgence, the cavalry are back in EU. The cavalry bros are largely led by Grozni as he merges his regiment of the 10thRH into the 61e. Personally, I could not think of a more fit person to lead the 61e EU cav in battle. Grozni is a battle hardened NW players, a wise man, has seen alot of shit of NW and has been a part of the 61e for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of Grozni were of him and his friend twisted coming to merc for us in a cav event while I was still a little ranker in the 61e and he proceeded to kill everyone in the enemy team despite having over 140 ping. Grozni didn't care about ping, he didn't care the speed was fastest as he was accustomed to medium. He is a brave warrior. Anywho, I ask you all to please be welcoming to the 10thRH bros when you see them. To someone I can mention, Ciaphas Cain is someone who I have been seeing join the 61e VC every now and then. He is a very polite guy and seems keen to become one of the bros with us. To that, I have to say I am very thankful for his willingness thus far to learn the 61e ways. The cav also the past few weeks have really been great, I didn't realize alot of the 61e bros would do so well at cav in EU. Honestly, I feel like I underestimated you all and have to congratulate you all bros. 61e - SA Nothing new hear really, if you have not noticed, Arlo is helping me again with everyday 61e tasks. He is essentially the second in command of the regiment but he is more of maintenance of the 61e, helping me with 61e shit. You can thank him for finally getting the fucking fastest cav server for going up. 61e - AS In 61e Asia, there is a new event that has been released, THE 61E HONG KONG EVENT. The opening of the event raised up to 80 players at its start and I have to say I am absolutely excited to see what the event brings for the future of the 61e. I believe the 61e has the chance to really shine in this region in events with more people. The events will be ran by us which I think is really important so we can keep the non slay FOL bot instead of the harsh autoslay FOL bot the chinese continue to use. Furthermore, I have to give a huge shoutout to @Thorn for he did extremely well the last Hong Kong event. Thorn during a charge managed to take down an entire regiment by HIMSELF. this was no minor regiment either, this was the 42nd, a very large regiment of many capable members. I was stunned to see him do this, there was a charge I called where many 61e bros were slain and slaughtered, one of the few to make to the enemies position was Thorn who took on the 42nd with nothing but his musket bayonet.... and his bravery in combat. We were all in awe, nobody could believe Thorn did it! That is all I have to say about that, thank you all bros for being grand and I hope you all have a good day, until then 61e bros.
  13. Try to guess my country! This country sucks. But for real, I've interacted with plenty of people from here online. I've even met someone with a Remilia Fumo.
  14. I can proudly say I know only two people who are into Touhou: me and probably one of my discord friends
  15. I have started to read a quite a lot recently
  16. Niel Postmans Amusing Ourselves to Death is a great book if you ever wanted to explore the topic in detail. His book may have been written in a era where the computer has still in its infancy, but its topic are a quite interesting critique of Television which- if you want a basic idea -prioritizes present and decontextualized content
  17. Oh shit, now I realized it's been more than 2 weeks and I did not write yet a reply to everything written in here. I'll come back to it...eventually.
  18. I used to read a lot when I was in elementary school, to the point of borrowing books from both my school's library and another one near my house. Then I stopped for some years and picked up the hobby again around I year ago but this time with books written in English instead of my native language. So far I have finished 6 volumes of mostly light novels. But recently I started reading a book called "Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language" and have found it pretty interesting so far (definitely recommend if you like stuff like linguistics).
  19. I should be only posting songs unrelated to touhou that I like but I can't ignore that this thing was blasting in the main menu of the game got me hooked on immediately, dunno why it hit me so hard on another note, lemme drop some more songs that I like
  20. idk Brazil is a no man's land but I do know quite a few people who are into touhou here, and I was introduced to touhou by a brazilian friend anyways so yeah there seems to be a decently-sized community here unfortunately due to how stupid and generally just ignorant my country and people are, it's hard to say there's a lot of people into this
  21. One year in badge, that's cool
    Now I need to remember to actually be active in communities, haha...

  22. In my country, touhou is extremely obscure (if not unknown). Anime has been getting popular and every teenager knows what it is, but most of them have watched only these series and nothing else: Attack on Titan, Death Note and Demon Slayer (ofc also Pokemon). Not that there's anything wrong with them, but I've heard people say stuff like like "Bro, Attack on Titan is the best anime ever" while only having watched that and Pokemon. I'm getting a bit off track, ain't I? Also, I once managed to get a friend to try EoSD and they played a bit and then never touched it again. Another time I managed to find someone from my country who played touhou online, but it was in a forum where they hadn't been online for 4 years so take that as you wish.
  23. Recently I got to listen to some new genres. Here's the most notable songs I listened to:
  24. Last time I decided to tackle the topic inside of a Touhou community (big mistake on my side), it ended up like this... https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/w25e90/why_is_touhou_so_popular_in_terms_of_mature/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Unless we were actually talking about any kind of Touhou-related thing that can become obnoxious
  25. tbh I can ignore this kinda stuff just fine but nowadays it's so common to have this kinda content (not just for touhou, but anything) that your options are to simply pretend it doesn't exist, consume it (moderately) or ignore it the most touhou content I consume is fumo related stuff (good videos) or MMDs which generally have a lot more effort put into them than a random ass "mommy" touhou vid

  26. This is actually quite an interesting topic. I've been thinking quite a bit about it recently, and sometimes, I feel like this brain-rot might be real, just to a different degree from one person to another. Heck, had it not been about myself starting to question it, most likely I wouldn't have thought about bringing up my most recent topic of discussion (even if it is mostly a recycled text from an older thread just put separately and with some sparkling images for greater emphasis)
  27. I mean, you arent wrong But honestly, as I say, we do live in a TikTok era where short and often nonsensical content is preferred because it gives that instant.... Uh what did you call it? Nevermind I will just call this it instant gratification
