Video/Tabletop Games For video games, I am down to play pretty much any brutally difficult single-player game (I wonder why I love Touhou project so much ). Examples of some of my favorites include Darkest Dungeon, Noita, and Celeste. Beyond that, I also really enjoy designing games of that similar genre, so I'm decently involved in the Super Mario World ROM hacking community. Beyond just video games, I love D&D a lot. I usually fill the role of Game Master because I love the design and worldbuilding that goes into it, and it really sparks my creativity overall! TV Series / Movies When it comes to TV series, I watch quite a bit of anime, but not an obscene amount. For the most part I stick to the romance genre, but I do love a number of shows outside of that. For example, I'm currently watching all of Initial D and absolutely loving it, and my all-time favorite show is Rascal does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, which, sure, it is a romance, but it also airs on the side of psychological thriller as well. For movies, I love mind-bending films such as Inception or Edge of Tomorrow!

This is probably a little biased, but I can't stand Byakuren. Her character is fine, but I had a very frustrating experience with UFO when I tried to 1CC it on hard when I wasn't that good at the game (also the UFO system is dumb, change my mind). In short, for me Byakuren equals broken dreams and pain. I'd give her a solid 7.5/10 as a character, though.

A year and a half back I was listening to some metal on a run and a RichaadEB Touhou Remix came on (I think it was Nuclear Fusion?). I thought it was a good song, but what really caught my attention was the album art (I'm a sucker for good album art and I cannot lie). It made me do a little bit or research, got me to play PCB as my first Touhou game, and here we are now.

Yeah, ZUN would have no problem designing something like that. He has a lot of inspiration to draw from in that department

Birb squad rise up!

I think it would be hilarious if ZUN just decided to make all of the meme characters of Gensokyo playable, such as Okuu, Clownpiece, Cirno, etc. I feel that would totally be something that ZUN would do. However, if I were to just choose 2, I would probably say Okuu and Clownpiece. Both of them could have hilarious story interactions, and I feel like their shot types could be really cool, too! For example, I've seen some Danmakufu scripts give Okuu a charge-up shot type, and Clowpiece could have a really absurd shot type that only covered oblique angles but did tons of damage, making her a literal meme to play Bombs for those characters would also be really easy to design, as both Okuu and Clownpiece could have bombs equivalent to their ability cards in Touhou 18.

My first game was 7. I remember wanting to play the series and saw on a Reddit thread that Touhou 7 was a good starting game. Absolutely no regrets, PCB made me fall in love with the series!
