>Funny you switched from the best zoner in the game to a melee focused character, it must be good having alts with different playstyles to cover your character's weaknesses.
The plan was to at some point focus again on Yuyuko, because I was sort of over-relying on her supreme kit. Incidentally I struggled the most against rushdown, so this helps me understand the sort of mindset I need to play against it, learn basic mechanics of the game more rigorously and have fun, because Meiling is awesome!

I recommend you take your time and try the entire cast, otherwise you might be tempted to switch in the future. This isn't necessarily negative though, you'll end up having one more character to play in your roster! I agree on what people say, to get good you should most definitely find the one character you want to focus on. Although I think you're well aware that Remi's movement is fairly unorthodox.

>>6823
That's interesting, rushdown tactics seems like Yuyuko weakness since she has low mobility, but once she gets her bullets set up they're super tough to deal with.

I've played a bit of each character and read on their respective pages on the wiki to get an idea of each one. Even though Remi's dash and flight mechanics are unusual I like her a lot. I also enjoyed Sakuya but tbh that's probs cause she's just incredibly good and straightforward to play lol.

I know this is an old post by now but
> Something I've been wondering is, what official stuff (such as manga) is there besides games?
It’s mostly just games and manga, though there’s some ebooks too.

If you want a recommendation I think Forbidden Scrollery (pic rel) is by far the best touhou manga, and it’s definitely the one that focuses most on world building if that’s what you’re looking for. It also doesnt really require familiarity with the games. None of the manga really do, except Silent Sinner In Blue for which you really need to play 6 7 and 8 before reading.

Check out moriyashrine.org they have links to all the official stuff that’s been released. Figuring out what order to read everything might be tricky, but honestly that sense of piecing things together is just kind of part of the touhou experience.

Sometimes I think about how the average touhou character has the lifespan of a sleep forever bacterium spore

Did anyone go to Touhoufest this year

Which reminds me. Whenever a cold case suddenly gets resolved, somehow it always turns out than the truth is so much more mundane than the narratives surrounding the central event. Likewise, learning the plain facts is narratively much lesser than arriving at the truth yourself…
Probably the reason it was much wiser to never open the diary… if you were a descendant of Ushiromiyas, you are probably better off not reducing them to their final moments in life.

I'm wondering if we can apply Umineko-style analysis to other domains.

To describe Umineko roughly, it's a novel about a cold case and the interpretations it invites. That's one valid way of looking at it. Some episodes are in a sense the "interpretations", in a way, of what could've happened.

Similarly, there's competing narratives for cold cases in real life as well. Take Jonbenet Ramsey for instance, there's "Burke did it", "Patty did it", "The dad did it"… People will describe those in quite elaborate detail. The fact that we don't have access to more information, what is described as a "catbox" in the novel, is what gives life to these theories.

But cold cases aren't the only domain where narratives compete, in fact they don't have to happen in a closed catbox at all. I see this a lot in politics and even just between any two sides contesting anything. Each of them has their own "truth".
I often see that, in fact, neither of them lies entirely. It is actually easier to make your case using facts. However the way they are interpreted can vary wildly!

You can apply witch "magic" here too.
Bernkastel is about seeing without love and getting to the bone of the facts.
Lambdadelta is about devoting oneself to a certain idea.
Though, I'm not sure I remember who's about "seeing with love", I'm sure pure fact analysis isn't enough here still and you need to understand motivations to get the full picture.

Beato is absolutely right that everyone who tries to "find the truth" needs to be severely ballbusted for a few decades first. When you talk to people straightforwardly they just interpret everything in the gayest way possible lmao. I love Beato's symbolism.

I mean that's actually how all the best professors taught in my memory. This forces you to engage your faculties.

thats a good thing. 3G is insecure

I wish my phone network had the 4G bands for Japanese phones…Their flip phones are sick.
>>30454
I haven't heard of any flip phones with 5G functionality yet, even in the US. Are you familiar with any?

I have this exact phone pictured here, in white. I love it because the buttons light up!

>>30426
that's so cool. i love it.

>>39413
Ive had a moto g 2025 for about a year now and its a fine phone. Just the default mic/speakers suck if you want to use speakerphone. Quick search showed its a similar price to the 2023 you asked about. Dont know what country youre in so that might play into your decision but I can fully recommend the 2025.

Given theyre budget smartphones I would think the 2023 would be similar enough to a 2025 and just have a slightly worse battery due to age/potential use if youre buying secondhand.

Is there any reason you want the 2023 specifically?

>>38621
agree! she's so cute!

If you could ask younger me I would have definitely said Rocky from Shake It Up. I love her girly dancer wear outfits and I wanted to be her so bad as a kid

phoebe buffay from friends had so many fun outfits imo! always loved the whimsy vibe she gave off. as for satc, carrie in that floral dress was sooooo pretty

always love me some squarepusher. venetian snares 2

You talk about this damn game so often I'm tempted to check it out but it really doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Maybe when it's on a deep sale

>>39225
I haven’t talked about it in a while I think
If it’s not your cup of tea you don’t have to force yourself to try it. Most people can’t get over Edmund’s gross humor and grindiness
Aside from that, though… the boss songs are absolute bangers and if you like roguelikes/tactical games you might like this a lot

Also it’s challenging and frustrating at first

I actually 100%d it back in mid April already. I want to try modding it again, maybe learn some DLL injection stuff

I vill get back to my mod and document it
It actually has 4 endorsements now… up from 2
I want to post some pics
Also my bf finally got gut at this

God

Oh shiit I loved clock tower 1.

I also really liked Puppet Combo games, he does all these ps1 graphic style short horrors, but he goes overboard with the graphic effects sometimes I guess.

You just reminded me I've been wanting to play Nun Massacre ever since it came out but I was a bit spooked out at the time… The time has come I think

>>37754
I like Rubyquest. The only good thing to have come out of scrotechan.

>>37759
HPLY SHJT BASED RUBY QUEST ENJOYER, i iwish the fandom was bigger ive only ever seen the occasional post on tumblr, i still need to finish nan quest

>>37754
I just started reading Junji Ito's Tomie and I'm really getting into it!

Because most men misinterpereted the story about a man's pride getting him into a situation he couldn't handle, instead as another story about rising and grinding and not letting haters (especially the "bitchy" ones) get in their way.
It's a similar case as what happened with Wolf Of Wallstreet.

>to the point they harassed her actress over it
they cant be that retarded

>>31903
She received a good bit of online harrassment for the character. Nothing on the level of troons vs JK Rowling but still.

>>31901
its so annoying because the show is a nice story but so many people missed the point that the main character is not supposed to be a good person or a role model
>>31903
they are, she even wrote a new york times piece about it

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/opinion/i-have-a-character-issue.html

heres some excerpts of it

>But I was unprepared for the vitriolic response she inspired. Thousands of people have “liked” the Facebook page “I Hate Skyler White.” Tens of thousands have “liked” a similar Facebook page with a name that cannot be printed here. When people started telling me about the “hate boards” for Skyler on the Web site for AMC, the network that broadcasts the show, I knew it was probably best not to look, but I wanted to understand what was happening.

>At some point on the message boards, the character of Skyler seemed to drop out of the conversation, and people transferred their negative feelings directly to me. The already harsh online comments became outright personal attacks. One such post read: “Could somebody tell me where I can find Anna Gunn so I can kill her?” Besides being frightened (and taking steps to ensure my safety), I was also astonished: how had disliking a character spiraled into homicidal rage at the actress playing her?

>But I finally realized that most people’s hatred of Skyler had little to do with me and a lot to do with their own perception of women and wives. Because Skyler didn’t conform to a comfortable ideal of the archetypical female, she had become a kind of Rorschach test for society, a measure of our attitudes toward gender.

>>31900
I think it has to do with the character's demeanor, regardless of the fact that she was in the right for trying to get away from Walt. It's proof that framing and presentation in fiction is a lot more powerful than the actual actions of said character.

>I hate him for his books and lectures targeted at the average person yes, although i havent read his books - only watched reviews and all that.
I'm not really certain how to take this. I personally also watch reviews, but I've never considered myself as having an informed opinion about the subject matter just because I listened to someone else talk about it. Not saying that's wrong, it just didn't occur to me that people do this.
>Humans are not that predictable.
Really depends on what you're testing. For example, any human, anywhere, will react the exact same to a snake making a striking motion, even if there's a plane of glass separating the person from the snake. It's not a conscious response, there is no "There is a snake, the snake is striking, I will back away from the snake." It is physically impossible for a human to prevent themselves from going back because the circuits that activate that reflex occur before the conscious mind has even registered a snake is moving.

As far as mass behavior, maybe you have a point about history, but Jordan Peterson from various comments also believes that history is a very potent source of information for behavior and how people operate, I don't know where you got the idea that he completely dismisses it.

>>21527
>>21529
Thinking about not only does he actually agree with the importance of studying history, it's already integrated into his worldview, politics and his main line of theory in Maps of Meaning. So not only does Jordan Peterson agree with you it's already integrated into his main theory.

>>21527
you are retarded

>>21527
>History is in the end a way better representation of how humans operate than "inherent" biological traits which cant even be proved to be inherent due to enviromental factors in everything
This
I also wonder how he can say all that stuff about history being super important, but then have completely retarded takes on politics.

>>21455
Postmodernism is shit.

I think modern philosophy is too obsesed with politics and materialism. Nihilists reject dualism almost by default despite neither science nor modern philosophy ever being able to even advance our understanding of the mind in hundreds of years.

>>37080
Both are cute but I like aspects from both like the subtle blush on the right one as wel as the more detailed hair (even though thats all you changed lol)

I see you broke up the silhouette of the hair on the right, probably don't do that because it makes it much more cluttered and hard to look at. I would also suggest adding more detail to just the bangs so the piece doesn't feel unfinished and the transition from less to more detailed isn't so jarring

but idk I migh tbe talking out my ass

>>37080
Left looks more aggressively gay.

I don’t know what gay panic inducing means.

you still here? this art style is pretty, i want to see more
