The music, the characters and the lore, and last in line the games themselves being addicting and fun

I'd say I got into the franchise in that order, in years long stints. The music is also just really fucking good. Like ten years before even knowing what the fuck a touhou was I recognised a ton of the popular songs and even learned a few of them on piano.

there's a certain thrill that comes with being able to recognise every one of the endless number of cartoon girls in silly dresses spawned by the franchise, and to remember all the in-jokes associated with them, which one we say is fat, which one we say is retarded, which one we say has this or that embarrassing fetish, which one we say secretly prefers black men, etc; it's kind of like being in a secret society.

Eh, when i was lad in school i saw girls closer to the higher end of that age range you said that had bigger knockers than what one would expect. Of course they couldn't care any less about my autistic ass or my buddies. But anyway, there's something to be said with regards to Mokou's body I'm just gonna copy paste what an anon said on an older thread.
>Given how much Mokou changed while under the influence of the elixir, I think it's safe to say that hourai bodies aren't actually static. They're eternal, but it's more that their souls regenerate their body if it gets destroyed. Mokou also comments on getting exhausted and suffering from muscle pains after her fight in IN, so many of the normal biological processes still apply to hourai immortals.
I think it's more that their bodies are defined by their souls, and can change based on their self-image. So Mokou's hair grew out and became white because she started to see herself as inhuman, while Kaguya and Eirin remained the same because as Lunarians, they already saw themselves as unchanging beings who are above life and death.
In that case, as long as they perceive themselves as being fertile, their bodies would be able to bear children like any other person would be.
So this means Mokou can look as sexy or unsexy as she wants.

NTA, but there's a difference between trying and "trying", as in playing once, petering out on stage 2 or 3, deciding shit's unreasonable and stopping. I was the latter for a long time before finally giving it an honest try, getting a normal 1CC with some practice and enjoying myself despite not playing very many shmups before. If someone doesn't like that kind of gameplay then they don't like that kind of gameplay and that's fine, but I think a lot of people can give in to a self-inflicted mental block before giving it an honest try.

Probably about a week, trying a few times each day. Future 1CCs came a bit sooner since a lot of that was me learning basics like how to generally separate actually dangerous projectiles from noise and pressing the fucking X key if I'm gonna die. I definitely wouldn't call myself an expert but really it's the same as any other game, it's impossible to learn without playing. And I think a lot of people just do what I did before and try once before wiping out and deciding that the game is too overwhelming.

I feel like we're going in circles so this'll be my last post on this. If they can't do it or even just don't like it after giving an honest try, that's fine. The genre is niche for a reason. I'm specifically talking about people who give up after barely trying. I can't say how much time should constitute an "honest" try but I feel comfortable saying that about 15 minutes of gameplay like my initial attempt is probably throwing in the towel too early. And there's likely a lot of people that give up in that ballpark.

>> No.45681587

>>45681337
Then luckily for them they can delve into other niches like fan games, music, manga, become lore autists, or create something instead. Touhou is more than a game, though imo you can't truly appreciate how all of it came to be if you don't at least give the actual one-man project a fair shot.

Alright, We're doing this. I'll prove my point to you.
1) You pick a game. It doesn't have to be a game I have experience in, just a mainline game of your choosing. Upon starting, I will play that game and give my previous achievements and total time, to my best estimates if needed.
2) I promise to play to the best of my abilities and use whatever resources I can. This includes using practice mode, looking up guides and runs, asking for advice, etc.
3) I will attempt a few runs a day, outside circumstances withstanding. I will also try to post a replay a day for approval.I will keep track of my total time played, and my progress of my runs.
3) There will be a cutoff point where the challenge could be considered over. 175 hours is honestly ridiculous and just implies that talent is an important factor when others can beat it in a week coming from similar experience. I could go for 30-40 hours minimum with the emd of the challenge being the end of January.
4) Should by the end of this challenge I have not achieved a Normal 1CC or have been deemed to come close to it, then I will have been considered to have tried my best. If I manage otherwise l, then I will concede to you.

If you can't 1cc normal in like 10 hours you have problems...

So, instead of having you do chores for me i will make it more fun to you too
What game are you currently grinding? If you're not playing anything, consider trying MoF? I think it's one of the easier ones and scales well if you want do some crazy things later. Also consider to discuss it in the gameplay thread I'll also try to help if I can there

I'm currently trying PCB and only have a few runs of MoF. I remember it being much more difficult then the others. But I'll switch over to that for the challenge's sake. I'll post updates in the gameplay thread once I start.
