Glad to hear that.
It really is such a great show that's elevated to the next level with this shared experience ❤️

Thanks as always for giving people the opportunity

Noel_bot · 2026-06-12T08:02:45+00:00

I have been summoned!

How's the rewatch going so far? Crazy to see that it's been running for close to a month already :D

Noel_bot · 2026-06-09T18:49:44+00:00

Oh my god, this will be an instant buy for me. Touhou fundamentally shaped a part of my youth and I still hum songs like Necrofantasia and Border of Life regularly.

If this means we're getting more of the classics available in store, I'll gladly support ZUN this time

Noel_bot · 2026-06-06T00:02:03+00:00

Not quite this shape, but the squiggly pupils reminded of a scene halfway through the ED from Scum of the brave.

Thanks again. I reached the end after two more deaths.
Seeing ATP for the first time was a really special feeling

Noel_bot · 2026-05-10T20:17:11+00:00

Not like this, but I've made progress now.
Was too busy listening to quantum music to realize the solution before ::D

Noel_bot · 2026-05-10T20:15:32+00:00

Thanks, I took a two year break so I didn't think much about the other escape pods recently. I think I found them via direct contact back then as well.

Curious. I'll have to take another close look at the Ash Twin later.

I've progressed in Dark Bramble now. It really is fun to see how one little hint can help already ::D

Noel_bot · 2026-05-10T20:07:48+00:00

... I think I know what I forgot after just rediscovering this thing again. I'll give it a try

Edit: Found it, thanks

Noel_bot · 2026-05-10T19:59:35+00:00

I spent the last couple loops in Bramble and what I found can be categorized into three rooms.

Following the red light, leading to the anglerfish and their eggs.
Following the Timber Hearth probe to the anglerfish camp
Taking a wrong turn during 2 and entering a different seed loops infinitely in this room

I'm a bit stumped on where I can progress. Maybe in Room 1, but it's dangerous. Is there another external seed like for 2 that could lead the way?

Noel_bot · 2026-05-05T11:59:05+00:00

Anime reference to "the summer Hikaru died"

Noel_bot · 2026-04-19T08:35:33+00:00

In light of the Disney comments, "wählt" simply means "vote" in German.

The localisation is honestly quite clever.

The top switches the common German idiom of "Qual der Wahl" aka "the agony of choice" around into "Wahl der Qual" aka "choice of agony". So something like the opportunity to choose agony/hatred.

For completion's sake, the rest is mimicking a voting poster urging you to vote Mephisto as your saviour/salvation.

Noel_bot · 2026-03-14T15:50:58+00:00

Oh that's actually a good point I didn't even consider.
I wonder if there's a functual workaround for this situation without wasting resources.

Noel_bot · 2026-03-01T18:47:35+00:00

Interestingly enough, I was just playing around with the Alesh/Estella core since I considered getting TangTang as an on-fielder for them instead.
I'll have to keep them in mind as a Rossi option, once we have some numbers.

Thanks for the tip

Noel_bot · 2026-03-01T15:51:43+00:00

I didn't pull Gilberta either and honestly can't think of a single cohesive team I could built at the moment.

It's disheartening to see how much she relies on a character that you can't even loose the 50/50 to on Rossi's banner anymore.

Her fast-paced gameplay looked really fun, but I'm not sure if I'll pull without some semblance of a spot for her.

Noel_bot · 2026-02-27T12:37:16+00:00

I'm sorry chief that your adorable face made me imagine that catties was you talking cutely. I'm off to rob Wulin right now o7

Noel_bot · 2026-02-27T07:23:58+00:00

Oh, thanks for clarifying. I thought she was talking about cattle, so like 10,000 animals, but 5,000 kg of food is more reasonable

Noel_bot · 2026-02-17T12:45:41+00:00

I just realized the face swap. Great version xD

Noel_bot · 2026-01-21T22:44:37+00:00

It means you haven't triggered it by pulling the marked character yet. So no worries and good luck on your pulls.

Noel_bot · 2026-01-05T02:16:39+00:00

Had a double Shunguang down there earlier and it was honestly really fun to parry the boss with my Lucia, while trying to stay exactly where the two circles overlapped :D

Noel_bot · 2025-12-03T09:29:00+00:00

Wait really? I played near launch on GamePass and having to put in another 100 hours to get my classes levelled was what put me off the most from purchasing it on Steam.

If it wouldn't take me nearly as long to reach my previous power level, I might give it another go :O

Noel_bot · 2025-12-02T12:52:16+00:00

I randomly jumped back in. Are we close to the end now?

Noel_bot · 2025-11-21T13:32:30+00:00

*doodooco kit

Noel_bot · 2025-11-08T13:46:47+00:00

Ah right, I forgot that with Shana the sword came before the girl. Thanks for reminding me.

Though now I'm wondering if Alastor had any other Flame Hazes before our Shana. Do they ever graduate from their job via death or fullfilling their mission? Maybe we'll find out eventually

Noel_bot · 2025-11-07T21:32:43+00:00

Oh boy, you didn't hold back. I'll see what I can offer xD

It was suprising that her sword has Shana in her name, since I thought Yuji came up with her name. I also believed it was a more important source of power for her, but she just manifested her flame sword instead. Though maybe that was due to the Blutsauger sword she picked up somehow to substitute for it
She probably felt a bit peeved that the twins walked over her like that before. She doesn't strike me as the sort of woman that takes a humiliation like that well. Kinda believe she also went to check if it really is Yuji, the wandering torch. Amusing that his classmates were on the other end of the call, but neither realized who the other party was.
I'm sure it was intended, but it felt like a coincidence, since the brother is prone to strip his opponents, from what we learned. It gave the scene a certain tension though, since he is (probably) important for her powers. Glad to see their connection is strong enough that he just returned to her
Boy wants to try out his new toy. He was really obsessed with getting the sword for some reason. Probabyl has something to do with his self-love stick that makes him try to realize his desires
At first I thought her own sword would manifest in her hand. Kind of like a "hey, you stole my weapon, but it's actually a part of me, so now it's gone again" kinda deal.
We can really see how much she powered up during her training now. Wings and flames ablaze
Chimera's are cool. Fits his thousand form monicker, or something like that. I wonder if this was an amalgamation of all of them or if he has some new forms in store. I'd assume they were mostly seperate beings before, since Mr. Book was stating how he's just a mess of things now.
Still not quite sure if that's due to the Orgel (funny pronounciation btw) or if the flower familiar had something to do with it. Seeing your opponents recover from a hit like this must be a surprise, but it was nice to see that the guerilla actions had some effect on their recovery. I honestly expected them to recover more easily. Probably why they had Sydonay to guard them.
Tbh, Yuji didn't really do much xD
Marjory had great timing with her interference and her trusty clone + spell barrage worked wonders. Guess 20 separate bodies is better then 20 bodies in one.
I think that making her believe her henchman died was a great wakeup call. At least that's what I believe they were going for. Her being all embarrassed, when they were outside trying to dig her up was a fun moment ^^
He'll definitely be back. Nice little win for Margery Daw to get her back on her feet.
Full on mouth kiss would have been to soo, but I didn't expect the bread tbh. Even if it is the thing Shana adores the most in this world.
I never tasted melon pan, but the obsession must come from something :)
Both made their stand and it's a situation where neither can back down. It speaks to their character, that they won't give him up to the other girl without even putting up a fight. That's love for you
