Serious question but how do you consume all these stuff? I dled like 200 vns and that's going to take my entire life. Dont think I have time for new music and other content. Hoarding makes me more anxious sometimes, like I need more.

>>42373902
You have to be a NEET. For me, I don't think there's that much media worth consuming anyway compared to other people since I have high standards, so this has never been an issue for me.

>>42373902
Instead of using your phone, read a VN, LN. If you're going to X listen some music.
And the most important thing. Dont stress over it. They're made to be enjoyed as entertaiment, it's not your job to consume it. Do it whenever you feel like

That was my thread, thx for saving it
Also seems like someone ghost posted, guess I shall respond
>I read up on everything and I can connect just fine, but no matter which gate I choose 2ch will still say its blocked/restricted when i try to post
5ch posting restrictions are infamous, they are kind of random and flicker on/off for tons of people. I would just cycle through a bunch of public IPs and if that doesn't work get a cheap VPN like cyberghost. It's a good place to ask questions, I usually say I'm a gaijin so they don't accuse me of being korean off the bat

In case anyone doesn't already know, rwx has released a new tlmc torrent containing all new additions. How this compares with Connor_CZ's own tlmc fork on nyaa, idk, but it's still a big release.

>In case anyone doesn't already know, rwx has released a new tlmc torrent containing all new additions.
Also this doesn't replace TLMC v.19, I'll just copy his post down below

>This torrent contains only new content relative to TLMC v.19, so if you want a complete collection you need both. There are several things you could do. Most obvious, clean and suggested solution would be to keep v.19 and this torrent in two separate directories, then union-mount contents of both to a single location. Unfortunately not an option if you're on Windows. Another way is just to point both to a single directory and create a giant mess, then if/when I release proper next version ask your torrent client to delete this torrent together with its files or ask me for a python script to delete all files belonging to a single torrent if your client can't cleanly do this itself.

>Collection status:

Kill yourself teen

I've got not much to really add beyond telling the vtween to kill himself as that's like the third time I've seen him make this exact kind of post this week, and this website that sometimes lets you get sources from twitter posts. I've seen it work for posts with 10 likes and I've seen it fail with ones that had 10000 so just be wary that it might not work. Better than Google now since they re-did the reverse image search algorithm to automatically crop shit after a certain size, and re-sizing the crop gives you less results than if you just shrink down the image and search with a "full" crop yourself.

This has been mentioned before in other threads, but it might be worth mentioning again. One strategy to circumvent region blocking is to make use of the University of Tsukuba’s project, vpngate.net, by selecting a newly listed Japanese server. It can be hit and miss in regards to posting on Japanese IBs, but it can work.
I don’t endorse the SoftEther VPN Gate client and would not recommend using it, but it is not necessary as many of the VPNs listed at VPN Gate also have OpenVPN config files available. It’s a free service, so do keep that in mind as far as opsec is concerned.

figure i'll ask here since i don't know where it would be appropriate otherwise and i don't think its worth making a thread about it
Does anyone know and can recommend me touhou written fanworks? like, just written stories, not manga, preferably not ones written by western fans? and preferably translated in english too. any genre is fine
if you have good western stories feel free to recommend them too.
sorry if i sound picky i just want to know if the thing i'm thinking about even exists

>>42475983
What kind of works are you into in general?
There are writefags lurking around some threads if you look hard enough

>>42476116
a bit of everything, from mistery and adventure to romance or even erotica
i actually already read lots of western fanfictions, was wondering if there was anything on eastern ones. but if i can find any good western stories i haven't already read i'm still happy

>>42475983
>and preferably translated in english too.
You're not really going to find many of this for specific written works, sadly. There was a single Yuuka fic I read that was translated by the author himself like 10 years ago on his website, but I don't remember it nor do I think it was actually good in the first place. As for western fanfics literally the only one I know by name that isn't fapbait is Imperfect Metamorphisis and I'm going to tell you straight-up that it's a hot dumpster fire so I've got naught to really offer. You'll find much better luck with the doujin scene but as I'm a pleb whose knowledge of that goes not really much farther than dynastyscans I'm not even sure how to begin to tell you how to go about your way.

>>42475983
>You're not really going to find many of this for specific written works, sadly
yeah i realize its a very niche interest in an already niche field. i just hope to luck out, maybe if someone knowledgeable points me towards untranslated writings i could figure something out
>You'll find much better luck with the doujin scene
oh sure i know of that and i've read several doujin, but i like reading pure text

>>42475983
If you learn japanese tho...

There's also WN sites
https://syosetu.com/site/group/

Syousetsu has multiple(normal ones/R18 ones), they're all on that link above.
I know Narou and Darkness.

Does anyone here use Share? I tried starting it out and it gave me a "Runtime error 0 at 0049B005". I tried running it in japanese locale with both TCP and UDP versions and it still won't start, does anyone know how to fix it?
>>42475983
>translated
As far as I know, the only translated touhou written fanwork; other than some really short R18 ones in sadpanda, is Gymnopedies (https://kafkafuura.wordpress.com/2019/11/16/the-gymnopedies-never-end-gymnopedie-ga-owaranai/).). I highly recommend it, and if you still aren't sure go read the review by Hitohira (well known 2hu story author, although it's almost entirely hifuu) https://en.touhougarakuta.com/book-review-en/gymnopedie_ga_owaranai/.. Written works in general don't "pass over" to our side of the internet outside of pixiv novel stuff.

>>42477623
thank you, yes i'm learning japanese so this will come in handy in the future. so if i understand correctly this leads to a list of sites that contain written works?
>>42477844
and thank you for the rec

>>42478044

Yeah the first one is the main one. That's whre Mushoku Tensei and other famous works come from.

>>42478051
oh ok, thanks. but do you know if there are also touhou fanworks or only original stuff like that? because that's what i asked about

>>42478257

Site dedicated to shrine maidens. The nameless shrine maidens that ZUN drew in early 2000s were contributed to this site. ZUN sent these pics to the site as a gift, while he posted other people's OC shrine maidens to his site that were given to him as gifts. Pretty common fashion for artists at the time. Scrolling down the gallery, you'll find ZUN's name on the list

>>42475983
I feel like a lot of written touhou works must go under the radar. I never really looked into it so I don't know much but I saw quite a few touhou doujin novels at comiket. Maybe you'll find a lead to getting scanned raws or web versions if you look through old comiket catalogues and find the writers.
