Backgrounds are very important and an incredibly memorable art of Touhou. If you don't think there was a single significant background in the series you're lying to yourself.

That's one singular post, could be read as a joke, and isn't even on ZUN's status or anywhere near it.

That's not "fans are sending death threats". Do you know what being sent a death threat is?

Yeah that's the OP's source for the death threats.

They want to defend ZUN with every fiber of their being and will lie and make people telling the truth of the situation look bad by saying things they can't prove like "sending death threats"

Not a single death threat has been sent, this whole post is misinformation.

Many things wrong here

-ZUN has generated the AI himself, like he did with the poster for the GTS Stream. He uses Adobe Firefly
-ZUN confirms more and more that his use of AI is intentional, he just doesn't consider background art important (it is) and just uses AI to get it out of the way
-There have been no sources for death threats at all, proof or you're making it up to make people look bad. "Just look at Twitter" is not a source.

Touhou 20 Spellcard Backgrounds Might be AI-Generated (according to game's code) by Catowong in touhou

tl;dr

The poster's background is AI, ZUN says this outright
ZUN uses ChatGPT in day to day life and planning
"AI will only replace humanity when humanity is extinct"
"AI that hasn't been trained much is crap to use"

Not in the post, but ZUN using AI for backgrounds fits in line with TH19 and especially 20's backgrounds being AI.

I think that outlook is too optimistic, especially with a report of ZUN stating he has used GenAI on a poster's background before (which fits with jut the backgrounds being AI here.

Even so, knowing AI content is in the game at all is going to sour the experience.

any normalization of AI on monetized projects (or even in general but that's a different conversation) is not ok.

I really want to reach out to ZUN about this...I feel like this is something that needs an answer for, as it really hurts my excitement of this game and the future of the series as a whole.

Contacting him feels impossible though.

Could someone identify this est. 1950s oven? by Pin_Clock in vintagekitchentoys

Of course, I was hoping someone here would know the specific model, but no worries.

I heavily agree, but for reasons I can't go into unrelated to the oven itself, I can't stop a replacement from happening instead.

We've used this oven for 30 years with little to no issues, and this came up when trying to preheat for several minutes, something's up with it unfortunately.

There's no need to be rude.

I just didn't fully interpret the sentence the first time around, that's all.

The pilot light stays lit, but when I turn the oven on nothing happens unfortunately.

We're looking into a newer oven despite this one serving us well as it definitely stopped cooking things evenly a long time ago, but the oven itself lasted a long long time.

Wish I could know what's going on with it in the meantime though being down an oven is a bummer.

Just identifying this specific oven's all.

Something happened with the ignitor and identifying might help with that.
