Let's show ZUN our support for releasing his games on Steam and Comiket at the same time.
For years it really did seem impossible to get the series released in the west. We had to wait for a guy to go to the con and upload it, which would then get shared on DoujinStyle and the like. Nowadays Steam releases of Touhou games are more common and it's great to see.
I’m mostly an outsider to the whole Touhou phenomenon apart from enjoying the music but it’s always nice to see games that would otherwise be doujin only available through official channels. And on release, no less! Cool stuff for sure.
The lukewarm reviews don’t make it seem like a great entry on its own so perhaps not the best starting point for someone who’s casually interested but still, I’ll definitely take a better look later.
@neilhimself you know what else is magic?
Getting in your climate controlled coach, driving to somewhere 40 miles away and arriving about a half hour later, and all the while you listened to a symphony played by a 100 piece orchestra.
I admit it's not as magical as being moved by words written someone 1000s of miles away or centuries in the past, but it is pretty damn good nonetheless.
Here is a statement from a West Virginia Linguistics professor whose entire department has been eliminated. It provides additional context to the Provost's decision to cancel 38 majors and the tenure and untenured faculty lines associated with them.
@ChrisPirillo #1, also with the modification of Kraft superiority. No way would an Atari stick work as well for games needing either precision movement or that crazy back and forth that Epyx Olympic games required.
Na das sieht ja überhaupt nicht Einladen aus 🙈 Ich hab zu viel #thewitcher gespielt um zu wissen das wenn du im Sumpf ein Haus findest du im Arsch bist .
@catgirlfingies I really liked Silent Hill 3 and Fatal Frame. Hill 3’s spooky atmosphere and plot was great. I became a fan of the franchise immediately after I played it. As an aside: I was SO bummed when they cancelled Kojima’s Silent Hill project 😭.
Fatal Frame had a cool ghost-fighting mechanic. It was like Pokémon Snap but with higher stakes. Taking a good shot meant that you weren’t going to die fighting a particular ghost 😄.
And yes, I played lots of horror games back in the day of PS2. I don’t play a lot of them nowadays because I only have a Switch now as my main console, and I’ve been prioritizing first-party games (no horror there!). I did play Luigi’s Mansion 3; does that count? 😄
