It is a bit awkwardly translated, as much as I like the turn of phrase "Transient People" it strikes me as a little off from the spirit of the title, which seems to be about the fact that faith is for people, said people are fickle. Transient implies something else Maybe something like "For The Sake of Fleeting Faith"? I'm excising the "people" bit mostly because it sounds better without it. I dunno, I'm napkin-translating here.

To me, as an Orthodox Christian, "Transient people" suggests humanity's mortality, with faith being for our benefit as we deal with the transience of ourselves and our world.

Since my last survey was such a resounding success, I'm thinking of doing another one at some point - maybe along the lines of the lesser-known part of the toho-vote.info surveys where they ask about yourself and your history with Touhou. The questions they asked this year were: 1. What is your age? 2. What is your gender? 3. Where do you live? 4. Which games have you 1CCed? 5. Which of ZUN's ongoing print series do you read? 6. What is it about Touhou that appeals to you? 7. When did you learn about Touhou? 8. How did you learn about Touhou? 9. If you attend dojinshi conventions like Comiket and Reitaisai, what do you do there? 10. How many previous Touhou Project Popularity Polls have you voted in? (You can see the answers they got here.) At the very least, I'd have to slightly rethink #9 and #10 if I'm adapting it for an English-speaking audience, and on that note I think I'd also ask how well people speak Japanese. Any other thoughts?

Fall Reitaisai is in two days, but more relevant to people who do not live in Japan, both ZUN's albums and those from a bunch of popular circles will be available to download from iTunes and Google Play at the same time! The site's still struggling over the server load but it catalogs all of the available releases and links to the listings in each store: https://touhou-music.jp/ It won't apply to the subscription streaming services but it's still a pretty big step in making this available to the wider public.

So I found this a few days ago. Its from last year, but the fact that its becoming popular among little girls surprised me. https://twitter.com/NForza26/status/895179396939751426 https://twitter.com/NForza26/status/895180268134445056 https://twitter.com/NForza26/status/895181857289097220 https://twitter.com/NForza26/status/895182622116261888 Pharohman777 fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Oct 13, 2018 |

It was only a matter of time before the franchise that's 85% girl characters became popular with actual girls. EDIT: For real though that's actually super cute.

ZUN recently made a tweet about getting a fan letter from an elementary school girl. Apparently the letter started with "I don't know if you'll read this, but..." so he tweeted to confirm that he had. Or something like that. https://mobile.twitter.com/korindo/status/1050612816435019776 Clarste fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Oct 13, 2018 |

I've always thought the series was absolutely perfect for kids, maybe the reckless drinking aside, so I adore the audience shift happening.

I hear that despite it being a mobile game, there are no gacha components (since it is just a boardgame translation) which is nice I feel that Zun would be the kind of guy who would shut down paid gacha components in any doujin stuff because of the predatory nature of it (so the official games are unlikely to have it either)

ZUN should release a Touhou Gatcha game so that his children will never have to work a day in their lives. I'd easily drop a grand to try and fail to roll SSR Special Variant Tanned Cirno +

I think ZUN would just wipe it all into the 'Pain in the rear end' basket. Man makes games 'cause he likes to. Although admittedly that's a lot of grey in his hair. Would be fair if he at least made a decent mint off of it.

Sure, but not doing it himself is different from not letting fangames do it. He doesn't make Touhou porn, either, but he doesn't say you can't do that.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want ZUN to make Touhou porn. I mean, eesh, it took him 20 odd years to draw a pair of tits. poo poo's going to look like something outta Kafka.

I can't remember where I heard it but I thought ZUN just really liked the whole doujin scene, like he just enjoyed it being a thing sold at cons at basically the same level as all the fan works that were made off of it. And just never really wanting to have his works sold through "offical" sources or anything, even though he'd definitely make more from it. But then again from what I understand his manga have been sold from legitimate publications and everything for ages, so maybe if he did think that way it was several years ago.

Captain Invictus posted:I'm glad people enjoy the games and I like seeing videos of them as well but anything past Gradius levels of shooter is a big ol' nope for me no matter how good they are. To be honest I always found Gradius stuff harder just because a single slip-up means you lose roughly two dozen power ups, and every stage halfway through is designed around having all those upgrades. If I mess up in Touhou all that happens is that my shot-type gets slightly weaker and I get reimbursed two bombs. Imagine if in Touhou a single death meant you're now slow as molasses and can't really dodge anything anymore. Also yeah, ZUN seems to just love the whole doujin scene and experience, but in recent years he seems to have warmed up to the idea that international fans would like to buy his games but that traveling halfway across the world for them is perhaps not reasonable.

The original Gradius is genuinely harder than a fair number of the Touhou games, honestly. Gradius isn't easy; it was a quarter-muncher originally, remember.

Also, despite the name, “bullet-hell” shooters aren’t just tautologically harder than old school shmups. Your Gradius’ have fewer bullets, sure, but they come at you much faster and you have a lumbering cow of a hitbox to dodge them with.
