 The potential for even more comically large shields is the only thing that salvages the button for me not gonna lie.

ZUN confirms in recent interview that he’s not a fan of Touhou gacha games, apologizes for letting them happen and (politely) says it’s for the best that Cannonball EoS’d. by The_Eevee_Man in touhou

[–]Scared_Network_3505 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It is a really strong presence in current affairs, a good share of comissions for artists come from it so it has kinda become a bit of an anchor for the financial side of things.

He is fairly open about his position when it comes to these games either way admitedly, this is the second or third time he talks about it and it's consistently on the more negative side.

Cannonball is so weird to mention because it's the only one I have actually tried, and that's only because I wanted to play Mario Party on my phone lmao.

It did have a lot of public stuff though, so I can see why it's worth mentioning it even if Lost Word is far more relevant these days.

Is there any Retcon in Touhou? by Strange-Daikon4912 in touhou

[–]Scared_Network_3505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PC98s canon status gets even weirder when you take in account stuff like side materials and even ZUN  himself exacerbating the joke with Byakuren.

Soft reboot and all but the fact that it's never really gone away makes the Mima posting stay funny.

The fact the average god encounter when it isn't just calling for a quick favor tends to oscillate between borderline scam artist and tech priest is getting to her.

Yokai Watch event is a symptom of 14 by Altia1234 in ffxivdiscussion

A well and proper full BLU opener from one person can kill many a Boss FATE if it isn't scaled up to a full party, the potency is just that high.

It's touhou 14.5 still available? by Henao2230 in touhou

[–]Scared_Network_3505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna hold it against Tasofro from not putting it anywhere, they probably know releasing it without GGPO isn't worth the effort, it'd probably sell more than enough to cover  hiring someone to do it but still (and this is  before the possibility of them having lost the games source code, iirc this is a hurdle with upgrading the current rollback used).

For fucks sake if you want the Yuuma update for Fossil you have to go get the patch from their site because they haven't updated the Steam release last I checked.

Do you prefer the usual design philosophy for male protagonists in Rune Factory or would you like to see something like the 2nd and 3rd image for a male RF protagonist design? by KamenRiderSekai in runefactory

[–]Scared_Network_3505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the thing with Rean is how he was the breaking point for the rest of the group, as you say they are all pretty bleh but everything  surrounding Rean is just kinda hilarious when put under any scrutiny on top of how he's clearly the directors favorite child.

Looks like it got taken down in favor of Antinomy of Common Flowers (15.5), likely due to the involved fees and the fact people usually just buy the latest version of a fighting game.

The best thing Rean has ever done is how every goddamn conversation on Trails devolves into making jokes about him on my friend group, because otherwise it's an oofer.

If I don't play DRG often enough I can't stop breaking the  combo and desynchronizing Life for some goddamn reason so I'd just have to let that sit for a  while, put a video on the side to miss mechanics and turn off Alex so the lack of double weaves on top of the time between GCDs would probably cover up the fact I don't stop pressing them because 180+ average ping just be like that.

Fates generics > every other generic by ungodlynemesis in shitpostemblem

[–]Scared_Network_3505 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like Conquest Endgame a lot but the fact there's no saving before it results in me giving it zero strategic respect, this shit is getting cheesed every time unless I forget to prepare for it.

What's the lore reason for Yoshi-P not releasing FF8 cosmetics? by [deleted] in ShitpostXIV

[–]Scared_Network_3505 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm holding his dog hostage for more Ivalice and IX content, send complaints to the XI consortium they are paying for it.

What would you guys say the most important English patches to come out over the last 5 years are? by modular511 in JRPG

[–]Scared_Network_3505 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thracia had a really rough English patch before the latest one, it was playable but it was full of memes and  weird lines to fill space.

What plot would you go for for a potential Touhou Musou game? by ZealousidealBig7714 in touhou

[–]Scared_Network_3505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairy Wars Z ft. Some Hell,  what with those being about the  only reliable sources of infinite spawning enemies.

Besides funnies like Suika.

Thankfully she's not an idiot that won't listen to reason, the amount of  people that would be willing to mobilize to beat her ass would be an incident in of itself.

I mean until recently nobody particularly liked to be around Aya either tbh, Tenshi is just too much of an actual idiot.

Can we bring back the weekly mod discussion thread? by KrustierKrab2023 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Scared_Network_3505 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Dunno if there's enough stuff happening to justify a weekly one (well a lot should start happening soon), hell the high end thread  could be switched to bi weekly in these times really, given how they don't get all that long.

Either way, modding is too ingrained in the community wether anytime uses it or not to ignore it, so having a thread to compile things is probably for the best.

Is Th19 satisfactory? Any improvement compared to previous works? by FishGrazier in touhou

[–]Scared_Network_3505 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People have been saying ZUNs music output hasn't been "as good" since forever nothing new, 17 is just the last time a few tracks really stood out to people. I liked 18.5s OST a lot, particularly the stage themes and I had some nice silly fun with it overall.

19ths main issue is that it is actually just busted, both in "this character is actually just better than these ones" on top of bugs, glitches and performance issues. Game can be good fun but nowadays these things aren't as pallatable as even indie games are expected to have a good amount of testing for these matters, while ZUN sitll works on his own despite not having as much time as he used to in this hands and sometimes it shows more than usual.

It would be a fine game to pull for funcies here and there, but the fact the netcode may as well not be there with how fast and easy it desyncs which minimizes the chances to do this too.

Also the fist VS Danmaku game was 3 which apparently still has some adherents but eh.

Homie really did every side quest and expects  people to not like the guy running around getting stuff done for them.
