Paletweb already pays ZUN just to get Touhou games in stock. Why would they give him royalties too?

That's something, I suppose. I'm not exactly sure how the profit distribution works for doujin products to begin with, so. :v:

Not to disrespect your own enthusiasm for them, but by the time it gets to where someone's custom-titled you about it, it might be worth taking into consideration.

For some ungodly reason I'd never thought to actually track this manga down and read it. Now I will.

Speaking of supporting official Touhou products: Does anyone know if importing the games from sites like Paletweb properly gets royalties out to ZUN?

It looks like the expenses must add up, but considering what goes into making these games and what you get out of them, it seems right and proper.

ZUN likely gets most of that money, since I really doubt that paletweb is burning their own CD's or whatever. That $40 in shipping though...

A circle produces a product > They sell it in bulk to resellers for a profit > The resellers sell the game for a profit > Shipping and handling murders your wallet.

I guess technically the money you'd give to paletweb is going to ZUN, since paletweb uses that money to buy the Touhou games from him in the first place.

I'd say the markup is more harmful than the shipping, unless they only offer EMS regardless of size/weight.

I can buy and ship a standard Touhou game to someone for around $30 USD.

I guess the maid fairies are all out of a job now.

Where was she in that chapter?

It's been tough times for maid fairies ever since Remilia decided to just hire kobolds instead.

Also Yuuka shows up on page 7 with Reimu and Marisa being all oh hey the flower youkai is here to the flower viewing, cool beans. Then she just shows up in pages 11 and 23 as a voiceless background character because she isn't actually any scarier than vampires or death ghosts or literal gods or whatever. I dunno man, it just amuses me when ZUN directly contradicts dumb fanon stuff.

On a different note, is it just me or does Sanae's outfit in this chapter look hella weird?

Not having a speaking role isn't going to stop stupid fanon bullshit. You should take it easy.

Successfully 1cced Imperishable Night on Normal, FinalB, with Reimu and Yukari.

Ended up with zero bombs, zero lives. Despite getting close, I died like a little wimp on every single one of Kaguya's Last Cards. ....that still counts, right? I got Good Ending #1 and everything. :ohdear:

This is pretty much how I cleared Imperishable Night, as well...

That reminds me of my second 1CC of MoF. Lemme see if I can find that replay.

I guess this is really tangential, but ZUN's attending yet another beer convention and selling his own brew, "Super Red the Nightless Castle". Of course, any purchases comes with its own free coaster:

Shoulda known he was a vampire all along.

Didn't even see the Remilia hat at first. That's beautiful.

Wonder if he'll bring any of his beer when he comes over to the US?

I wonder if he'll hate all our beer? :ohdear:

Hedera Helix: Sep 2, 2011; The laws of the fiesta mean nothing!

Does anybody know what types of beer ZUN likes, specifically? If he doesn't like American-style lager, there are always microbreweries that produce other varieties.

Also :wtc:

at that logo.

Get him Kentucky Bourbon Barrel. It'll either knock him on his rear end or cause him to draw a Jackalope Touhou dressed like Huck Finn.

I'm not 100% sure because google translate, but aren't a bunch of his blog posts about going out and drinking gaijin beer? I'm fairly sure he has a beer shopping/drinking list that's a few pages long or so.

Best 3D danmaku video I've seen in a long time, probably since that Reimu/Okuu one. Dunno if there's a youtube link yet.

The local pub I frequent in Atlanta is rated the 2nd best beer bar in the US and 6th in the world. I should probably tweet him about it a few weeks before he goes and hope he reads it.

This fight got a lot better once they got out of the hall.

These 3D danmaku fights really show how adding another dimension makes it harder to really spam bullets in a way that starts to really limit your paths. 'Course, in a theoretical 3D touhou, the hard part would then be paying attention to where all the bullets are...

As if paying attention to where all the bullets are weren't hard enough already.

What are you talking about. I can easily pay attention to bullets. Especially right as I run into them.

Yeah, I have a hell of a time playing a 2D game where I can (theoretically) see and keep track of every bullet all at once. 3D? gently caress, I don't have eyes in the back of my head!

I was hoping the end scene would be Sakuya coming home with grocery and saw the wreckage and faint on the spot. But Yuyuko preview is good enough. :cheeky:
