  2. I’ve recently started a fun little CYOA here on the site. While I was tinkering with the wonky formatting from my cloud, it struck me despite Oscar being the fic’s main character I have never brought him up. So, time to bore you all with my latest creation (and bump the thread for future generations). Tried a new art style below. If you don't care for the art, I'd like to see you do better in MS Paint over a lunch break. Oscar Diggs the Fourth is a stage performer, excelling at the art of trickery magic. While he has some talent at the art, poor Oscar has been having some hard times lately. He lost his job, and is now consigned to performing at children’s parties part-time. At least, until he awakens in the land of the Youkai. Oscar himself was an OC I devised for a roleplaying game on the site here. The head of a pretend corporation dedicated to helping Outsiders prosper, and acquire magical relics. He was meant to be a dealer in unorthodox antiques, and a connection for any Outsider characters. Sadly, several people who joined the games I set up vanished from the site, which discouraged me from continuing. Otherworldly Ventures, his company, is mostly made of smaller businesses. Fisheries, farms, market stalls, even a clinic. If you're an Outsider who has arrived in Gensokyo, its a good place to work to meet your basic needs. The downside is to join, you have to agree to work for them for five to ten years, and give up most of the money you earn. But its protected by humans and friendly Youkai, gives you food and shelter, and you learn life skills about living in Gensokyo. Since Gensokyo is technically an isekai, I decided to make Oscar a reference to one of the first Isekai series. The Wizard of Oz. Like the original Wizard, he’s a cowardly charlatan. Getting by on a mix of cunning, intelligence and basic occult knowledge. This he uses to traverse the land, defeat Youkai, and eventually start up Otherworldly Ventures. I like to think that is part of his appeal. That the story involves him facing Gensokyo with its miracles and monsters without a heroic destiny, but with a high school education and basic life skills.

  5. Polls closed! An even distribution of votes, I am proud of myself. But the winner goes to 'I think I ate the last of your food'. Bit of an overreaction over some hazelnuts and two tangerines, but. Today's Bad Touhou Opinion is brought to you by 'browsing random videos at 3 AM'. Enjoy! Food poisoning is rampant in Gensokyo. What's the most likely cause? = Marisa has started a TV Dinner line, and asked Reimu to pick mushrooms for her. She picked the wrong ones. = Mystia is sick, so Cirno, Daiyousei and Rumia decided to help her out at her food stand. Stoves are dangerous though, so they serve her eels raw. = Suika is bored and heard Corona Virus was strong. So she wants to fight it, and won't let anyone's cells stand in her way. = Joon has an idea for a new scam. Vegan hamburgers. = Honestly, I have no idea but its probably the Lunarians' fault.

    Release Information Type: Hero Defense Developer: www.touhou.cc Publisher: www.touhou.cc Release: Unknown Language: English(Patch) Number of Players: Up to 5 on each side Description What it is: It's simply a "Defense of the Ancients" clone with some extra content which differentiate it from the original game. How it works: It is based on DotA, thus it is played in a similar manner. The goal of both sides is to make it to the opposing team's shrine and utterly destroy it however way possible. Heroes/Girls: You are given a choice among 62 unique girls from the original game to represent the shrine you are assigned to. You directly control/command her, allowing you to utilize her abilities however way you wish. Items: Weird. Just weird. These are used to help boost your survivability in battle in a number of ways. Each Item is unique and it's important to note how some items are more compatible with your girl than others. Neutral Monsters: Mostly fairies, really. You'll notice though that most of the regular neutral monsters you find are tributes to original Warcraft III characters, while others being iconic representations of fan culture and such. Installation: This one's pretty simple. Just drop the file in the "Maps" subfolder located in your Warcraft III folder.(This is often located in 'C:\Program Files\[Name of folder]' unless installed or put elsewhere)

  19. If anyone has any video essays (or just any video) you like or meaningful or cool or beautiful... this is it! Come and talk about it!...write about it. lol I made this topic to talk about this video I'm about to show you. In fact, I just finished watching it. And I might also share other video essays that are meaningful to me. Maybe others will join me. Maybe it'll just be me here, who knows. Here's the vid { The movie in the vid is "A silent voice" , the vid also have spoilers for the movie, so if you wanna watch it, be careful, I think alot of people might have seen this movie already....} Thinking about the video made me remember earlier today I went to college with my friend and we ate and talked together, after the day was over and I walked back home, I actually smile, some other times too! And it made me think some parts of me and my life and probably anyone in the world too, can relate to the feelings in the video and the movie. I haven't watched it in along time, I remember watching it with my sister tho, when I was younger, but I didn't pay much attention to the values that the movie offers. But now,... I think what is said in the video (also the message of the movie) is true. I had some good days, some bad days, some terrible days, maybe you too. And at some point, I felt tired and miserable. I lost friends, one friend who I thought was close to me but wasn't. The environment, the people, it's just too much. But there are times where I smiled, I felt genuinely happy. Now I have new friends, friends who might look at me for who I am, acknowledge me, not treating me like some bystander... Maybe they'll stabbed me in the back one day but who knows. (the definition of a friend or a best friend or a true friend is always so uncertain...) What I gathered for myself was that I'll always look back at the happy times, and from there I'll hopefully look forward to a life that is worth living, and at the present, I'll always keep trying. I gotta make time to watch this movie again, I'll probably cry. Edit: if you can, please watch the movie, it is beautiful.

  20. Sorry I didn't get to this initially, I needed time to watch the video. It's well presented and organized, and uniquely personal, which makes it especially effective in communicating the theme of the film its reviewing. It's difficult for me to engage with it too well, though, as I'm lacking sympathetic perspective. Remember that the purpose of a story is to make its message relatable; a story portrays the understanding of the storyteller, who themself is capable of being right or wrong. I can appreciate the masterful way in which this particular story is told (and believe me I do), while also judging its message independent of its delivery. I do not believe the value of one's life is in either themselves or in their worth to others; rather, I understand each and every person to be a special creation of God, loved by Him, and therefore transcendentally valuable. Now, to the thread subject: I love video essays, as they often serve to explain the appeal something has to others when I either can't or have no interest in experiencing it myself (Internet Historian, Pyrocynical and Bricky are some good examples). Other times they can help deepen my appreciation for something I already enjoyed. Story theory and music theory are major hobbies of mine, and a major area where the two overlap is musicals. Sideways is one of the best in this field when it comes to analysis and commentary, both for his presentation and his original theory work (please check him out: https://www.youtube.com/@Sideways440). But in the interests of linking only one video to this post for sake of emphasis, I'm going to prioritize Joseph Anderson's The Villain of Edith Finch. If you haven't heard of Joseph Anderson, he's known for his professional-level analysis of story and game design. This particular video wasn't the first I saw from him, but undoubtedly had the biggest impact on how I viewed games as a storytelling medium.

  24. Though most Youkai, Ghosts and Fairies fly, Gensokyo has many dirt roads and paths. Where do they even come from? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The road was quiet, save for the sounds of Oscar’s footfalls or the smaller pads of Rumia and Daiyousei. It may have been the oppressive atmosphere, but it seemed as if no one wanted to talk. Well, almost no one, but even Cirno’s excited boasts seemed to be more subdued than when they drove away Kimiko. The only other voice was Daiyousei’s, low and quiet, as she whispered comfortingly to Rumia. With little else to do, he could only crook his ear in the hopes of overhearing them. A loud buzz pulled him back to reality. In the way that humans do when jerked from their thoughts to immediate danger, his hands flailed in the air. Praying it wasn’t a hornet or one of its vicious kin. The girl beside him rolled his eyes. “Calm down, Outsider, it’s just a Syrph…Syr-Syr—it’s just a hoverfly.” Wriggle’s wings buzzed with sudden ferocity, reflecting her exasperated glare, before the buzz stopped. The small, stripped insect drifted around her new companion. Taking a seat on an outstretched finger. The other hand rose, brushing along his back as though it were a valued pet. “I don’t know why you humans are so cruel to insects. It just wanted to know if your flower was real.” The exchange was simple, but was equally surreal. Oscar was used to hearing people coo over animals, especially the rabbit which was presently fast asleep in his top hat. But he had never heard someone speak of such sympathy for an insect. Something so small and delicate, it was likely to be dead within a week. But that didn’t seem to matter to Wriggle as she brushed its back. “S-sorry,” He eventually managed. Not sure how he would recover from the exchange. “I uh, I thought it was a wasp.” “So you couldn’t take five seconds to check, suuure.” The phrase didn’t seem angry, perhaps a little bitter. But more than anything else, exasperated and very tired. “Everyone’s always so mean to insects. Humans are the worst, but it’s not like anyone else cares. Other Youkai, Ghosts, Fairies. Even Cirno only leaves them alone because we’re friends.” “…You really care about insects, don’t you?” “Yeah. I AM a Firefly Youkai. I bet you think that makes me weak, don’t you?” “…Uhh, Wriggle, right? To be completely honest…I don’t know what a Youkai is. I’m not sure I even know strictly what a Fairy or Ghost is here, either.” The quiet resumed. Weighing around the two like a heavy cloud. The antennae on top of Wriggle’s head moved slowly from side to side. Before she let out a sigh. “You really are helpless aren’t you? Even for a human.” “Right, so are you going to tell me?” The return of the silence from before was welcome this time. Wriggle Nightbug turned to him, opening her mouth as though to speak. But nothing emerged. Her head turned in thought, before with a frustrated huff she instead called ahead. “Dai-chan?” The figure ahead of them had her arm around Rumia. While scarcely taller than the children Oscar used to entertain, when she turned her face towards them, it had all the motherly kindness of a saint. One hand caressing the back of Rumia’s head as she sobbed. “Yes Wriggle? I hope you aren’t being mean to our new friend?” “Can you tell Osu what a Youkai is?” "...But you are a Youkai." "No, like, what-what a Youkai is." “Did you forget again Wriggle?” “S-shut up Daiyousei!” “Hehe, you should be nicer Wriggle.” Daiyousei smiled, with all the charm of an angel. “Youkai are beings who exist because of humans. The first Youkai were born when humans believed there was danger and feared the world around them, but they can exist because of other emotions. Humans long ago looked at fireflies, and they felt wonder for them. Because of that, Wriggle was born.” The words were subtle. Enough that Oscar only grasped their intent when Wriggle looked away, crossing her arms. Daiyousei didn’t revel in her lesson, or even draw attention to it. Only smiled understandingly. Beside her, Rumia looked back at Oscar and her friends curiously. Her crying had stopped, though her face was caked with dried tears. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= What next? = “So that would make you a fairy, right? How are they different?” = “The others really respect you, Daiyousei. You must have been friends for a long time.” = “Your friends seem so normal. Why was Kimiko so strange?” = “Humans and Youkai are dependent on one another then?”

  29. For something more relaxed this week, I'm going with Superliminal, a perspective puzzle game. I'm rather fond of these sorts of experiences (e.g. The Witness and Manifold Garden), and this is probably my favorite take on the genre so far, primarily because there's an actual thematic direction resembling a story. The music is mostly minimalist jazz composed by Matt Christensen, establishing a relatively calm (but not always comforting) mood throughout, even for the more tense moments.

    Release Information Type: Bullet Hell Developer: Zun Publisher: Zun Release: 1998 Language: English-Patched Character Information Playable Characters: 2 (Reimu, Marisa) Shot Types: 2 Each Description Youkai have once again begun to swarm the Hakurei Shrine, prompting Reimu and Marisa to separately head for a lake in the mountains - the apparent source of a tremendous power surge. The two reach a gateway underneath the lake which transports them to an odd fantasy world - the location of the mansion Mugenkan, where the mastermind supposedly lurks. Unique Gameplay Mechanics Introduction of Focusing * This is the first bullet hell game in the series where you can Focus, which will slow you down for easier bullet-dodging (although your hitbox doesn't become visible when doing this as it does later on in the series). Hidden Rank System * As unbelievable as it may sound, this entry in the series brings with it a Rank system. Basically, the better you play in one run (collect lots of items, gain lives, don't bomb or die), the higher the Rank will be, the harder attacks will become, while dying and scoring little with decrease the Rank. This mechanic disappears after Touhou 7 - Perfect Cherry Blossom. Dream Bonus * For all your scoring needs, this game introduces the Dream mechanic. Aside from Power and Point items, the Dream item makes its appearance. These items increase your Dream by a set amount per item, maxing out at 12800. This value is added to the Point item's, so for example, grabbing a Point item at the top of the screen (51200 points) with 12800 Dream will bring the item's value to 64000. Scorefile * It has 25% completion status (Extra is only unlocked for Reimu A). -> You can help get this scorefile to 100%! If you have a scorefile which improves upon the progress in this existing file, please submit it to us! Th04 scroefile (Derllyn).zip

    Release Information Type: RPG Developer: ハチクマソフト Publisher: mebius. Release Date: 31 October 2022 Language: Japanese, English AKA Touhou Soujinengi V -The Genius of Sappheiros- Description Touhou Souzinengi V is a full-scale RPG that carries on the traditions of RPGs from the good old days. It was made with the challenge of seeing just how interesting battles could be with standard, 5-character, turn-based combat, and whether its character growth system would be fun while remaining simple. It's an RPG where progress involves figuring out enemy weakness and patterns, then picking the appropriate party members and skills for the situation, as opposed to just bruteforcing by grinding levels. It's packed with plenty of content to challenge yourself with, too. If you include collecting all the items and enemy skills, there's over a hundred hours of fun to be had. Even just reaching the final boss provides you with dozens of hours, ensuring that it won't let you down when it comes to its volume. Steam Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101110/V/
