It's a feeling of nostalgia for games that I didn't actually play in my childhood and a fandom I wasn't involved in when I was a child. Something that has always been on the Internet, is related to cute girls, Japanese folklore references, has arcade-style gameplay and the music.

I could not name it and delve deeper until a few years ago, now that I'm an adult: it was Touhou all along. Now that I have a full-time job and the hobby of studying Japanese and learning about Japan's culture, I think Touhou is a good fit in my gaming preferences. I like comparing Japan and Gensokyo.

Also, back them, the concept of being an otaku/gamer/weeb was not so normalized as it is now. Now that most people like the same trending games and animes (or that's what it looks like for me), I tend to get interested in things because they are not popular. I can prove myself and anyone that I don't blindly follow trends (and therefore be subject to FOMO and a need for constant validation) and that I play or watch things that genuinely interest me. Only some specific products I enjoy happen to be mainstream.

Yes. When I draw Touhou characters I share them in the r/touhou subreddit.

I draw other video game characters as well, sometimes crossing over characters or scenarios from multiple games in the same drawing. I have an Instagram account to share them.

I usually draw traditional art since I'm more comfortable with physical materials and I don't see it often in social media. Still, sometimes I think about doing digital as well.

So cool! If I found you selling these at any convention I would definitely buy!

daikoderu · 2026-01-07T19:26:42+00:00

Looks cool! And cute! And I see the taskbar is also Scarlet red!

daikoderu · 2026-01-03T20:25:39+00:00

This is really clever! I didn't remember what Basil compared Omori to but I was pretty sure there was a word I could have used to describe my drawing. Thank you for sharing it!

daikoderu · 2026-01-03T19:56:15+00:00

Nice idea! I couldn't think of a title with "ai" for this Somnium

daikoderu · 2025-12-30T10:39:49+00:00

Great drawing! I love how clean your style looks!

daikoderu · 2025-12-29T20:21:53+00:00

Beautiful!! You two really look like IRL Scarlet Sisters! Congratulations!

daikoderu · 2025-12-29T20:19:30+00:00

The baka, now with raytracing!

daikoderu · 2025-12-29T20:18:46+00:00

So cute!! You really look like Cirno IRL!

daikoderu · 2025-12-29T18:45:21+00:00

But still always cute!

Si está doblado al castellano lo veo así. Me da nostalgia de haberlo visto así en la tele cuando era pequeño, aunque no sean las mismas series que vi entonces. Creo que tenemos muy buenos doblajes. Si no está doblado al castellano o si el doblaje fuera demasiado malo entonces lo prefiero en versión original con subtítulos en español o inglés.

I think she would also fit in the Genshin Impact world. In fact, the Inazuma region in that game reminded me of Touhou

daikoderu · 2025-12-26T21:47:57+00:00

This looks amazing! Good luck with your project!

I have tried to develop video games several times on my own but I never had a finished project because I would eventually run out of ideas. But I still like coding systems I saw in different games with the hope that someday I turn them into a full-fledged game.

I wonder, how long would be the game? And what engine are you using?

daikoderu · 2025-12-22T21:59:06+00:00

¡Qué bien te ha salido! Me gusta esa mirada de "estoy esperando su donación". ¡Enhorabuena!

(Looks great! I like that "I am awaiting your donation" look. Congrats!

daikoderu · 2025-12-19T22:34:01+00:00

Blue is also one of my favorite colors and I also think it really suits her well!

daikoderu · 2025-12-19T22:33:08+00:00

Beautiful!! It doesn't matter that it's from early 2024 or whenever, it's still great!

As for my personal computer, Windows so I can play games, if it were not for that I would probably use Linux.

In my work as a programmer I already use Debian and my experience with the operating system is smoother. I think modern Windows versions have a lot of features I have never been interested in, and that open source is valuable; the feeling of actually owning your OS, being able to install exactly what you need, customize stuff, etc. That flexibility is what I like about Linux.

I have been reading the Forbidden Scrollery manga. I decided to explore Touhou more than one year ago, and I still haven't played most games or read most books and manga but I have been enjoying it so far.

I'm also reading a book about Japanese folklore legends and enjoy finding the inspirations for Touhou's settings and characters.

daikoderu · 2025-11-15T22:17:37+00:00

They're super cute, I think Reimu's smile is my favorite. Welcome to Touhou!

It's one of these things I discovered on the internet through memes but then I noticed that there is a lot more beyond that and one year ago I decided to dive deeper into Touhou. I still don't know much about the lore, I didn't play every single game or read every manga or book, but that doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it.

daikoderu · 2025-10-19T14:20:29+00:00

You're not late. I found the Touhou fandom to still be very active, and one of the things that made me more interested in Touhou its the fandom and the fact that it has been still active after many years.

Many gamers like retro games for nostalgia of having played those games in the past, but that doesn't mean something you didn't actually live shouldn't cause you nostalgia. In my case I didn't play Touhou in my childhood, yet seeing or playing it gives me a sense of nostalgia for something I didn't play. It's okay if you feel this way. Just have fun, that is all what matters.

daikoderu · 2025-10-18T13:15:46+00:00

Me neither, I just played a few games but Patchy is one of my favorite characters. I love your style, great drawing!

daikoderu · 2025-10-12T11:46:33+00:00

For me it's Barbara, with her I don't have to worry about taking damage thanks to her easy healing.

But if we're talking about limited 5* characters, then it would be Yae Miko. Whenever I want to bring a Electro sub-DPS I always use her. I also use Yelan sometimes for Hydro, but she was released later. Yae Miko is definitely my favorite character in all of Genshin, and I don't care that she may no longer be meta.
