>Also: Any good introduction to the characters? Thanks.

The Characters section of touhou.wikia .........

Sakura Kotoba.

Now get the fuck out of here.

Wow. Incredible reception, guys.

Stay classy.

>>5615639
This board isn't fast like the one you came from. Have some patience.

>>5615619

I also agree with Sakura Kotoba.

Anything by Can't Fix the Helmet is good

Goooooooooogle

You don't seem to understand what a community means, right?

>>5615612
it depend about your tastes

>>5616050
It appears to seem that way to you.

>appears to seem that way

>>5616050
why don't you use the time of whining like that to gather information on your own?

Just go read the fucking character profiles in the wikia, fanon is shit.

>>5616050
Lurk more. This community is based on lurkers who have scoured the internet far and wide, and merely come here to discuss their opinions and viewpoints. We don't spoonfeed. If you are truly interested in something, you'll put effort into finding it, not simply HAI JAYPEE GIEV ME GOOD DOUJIN PLOX.

As I said earlier,

Gooooooooogle

ITT: angry autistic sagefags.

Here you go, if you're moderately clever you'll be able to find your way to many more. This is also a good place to look things up when /rs/ doesn't have them.

Note the "Click here if the image fails loading" link at the bottom of image windows. Images are partly distributed in a P2P scheme (I'm hosting 5 gigs myself) and some hosts fail, so click that link to request the page again.

Is this another one of those threads where a faggot pretends he's new and then gets angry at himself?

>>5616050
/jp/ is not a community, it's more like a society.
We don't even share a single common interest.

>>5616058
it depends ON, not about.

>>5616092

Let's stop with the meme spouting and have a serious talk for once, Mr. Autism spreader.

>>5616138
Alright, regarding?

>>5616131

Quality is most of the time better than quantity.

Both of them if the best, of course.

>>5616171
Well quality is in the eye of the beholder, you can't really find what you want without quantity.

If it's not porn it's not worth reading.

>>5616185

Personally I prefer comedy, 99% of rule34 stuff is generic repetition.

>>5616131
I did that a couple of years ago, it lasted me a day. Then I followed their releases and that occupies me for about an hour per month. So no.

>>5616193
Marathoning is for idiots who are incapable of rationing enjoyment.

Autistics bicker about the stupidest shit.

http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=120638

Download this. Read all of them. Only then will you be a man.

(Failing at that, download "In Gensokyo, Danmaku Dodges You!", it's amazing)

>(Failing at that, download "In Gensokyo, Danmaku Dodges You!", it's amazing)

That *does* sound amazing, looking it up.

>>5616241
Not really, but I'm sure I missed almost all the jokes in that because I'm an idiot.

>>5616259

I may just have really shitty taste. It's hard to tell with these things.

A tip, delay reading Stripe Pattern's Love and Peace and most of Chado's(Tohonifun) doujins until you think you have a good idea of what Gensokyo is like. Much more impactive that way.

>>5616325
You mean less impactive? It won't influence you as much if you already have an idea of what it's like.

Which one is a good introduction?

About the games...

I've played the first and second one, and The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Of all of them, which do you think is better? (I'm refering to the plot).

>>5616459
If only I had the black Tewi image to help out with your predicament. That's only my opinion but I think you should start with the more family friendly works. Go read everything but happy flame time, you'll get a good overview on how idyllic and heartwarming Gensokyo can be. When you get to know some characters better you can move to some game plot retellings by FlipFlops. If you're into the darker side of things I would recommend everything by Asatsuki Dou.

>>5616494
plot-wise probably the second one.

>>5616514
But Happy Flame Time is awesome...

>>5616757
Why is Tewi in ganguro mode?

>>5616757
Sorry Black Tewi, I'm sure you have lots of important things to say, but I'm too busy looking at your hips.

>>5616586
Oh my, that was supposed to be "by" not "but". Way to change the whole meaning of the sentence. Pardon.

>>5616757

>>5616757

What is the title of this one?

>>5616844

"I'm Sorry, I Couldn't Hear You Over the Sound of Your Hips Being Delicious"

How about people start by playing the games and then reading official printed works? Why does no one seem to do that?

>>5616873

Thank you. Wait...

Real name?

>>5616887
>Why does no one seem to do that?

>>5616887

Some people don't like danmaku.

>>5616887
not everybody can play a danmaku game and beat it. not many people like danmaku. many people i've tried getting into the games usually rage-quit.

Any way of understanding Touhou plot without playing the games?

>>5616929
>plot

>>5616897
I did not particularly like shmups before Touhou either, and normal mode is... well, not hard. Hardly an excuse.

>>5616929
Reading translations on the wiki.

Only autistics can truly come to enjoy danmaku.

>>5616929

We're still trying to figure out how to understand the plot WITH playing the games.

>>5616929
all you need to know.

incident happens.
Girls investigate incident.
Girls beat up anyone they just so happen to run into.
girls engage in Beautiful Danmaku!
You beat the game and girls have cake and tea.

>>5616944
>And then I raped her

>>5616757

Could anyone tell me what doujin is this?

>>5616929
reading chracter profiles, and dialogues from the games. But not playing the games makes you a shitty fan.

>>5616982
Besides, the games are fun, challenging, and will make you understand some bits of the most sutile bits of the fandom.

>>5616976
All I can recall is it's by Aki Eda.

As I've said before, there are 3 ways to play Touhou:

1: Take your autism pills to turbocharge your autism, and slowly build up your skills by getting horribly raped over and over. Results in you having another 1-player vidya skill to be 'proud' of.

2: Set the game to easy mode so the danmaku is like a thin mist that you can easily weave through. Results in you becoming a disembodied head and taking it easy.

3: Google yourself up an infinite lives hack, get good'n drunk, play on lunatic mode. Also known as ZUN-style, results in the game being entertaining even for casuals while providing accelerated skill growth over time if you actually try to dodge.

>>5616993

>sutile

>>5616976
"Why did she leave the Miniature garden?"

>>5616998
What no. Are you trolling

>>5616976
It's "Why did she leave the miniature Garden?" and it's not by Aki Eda.

Start by reading the character bios in the wiki.

All of them. And all of it. Because you won't know just from the list of names who is important and who won't matter at all. And the bios have a lot of stuff about memes and fanwank that will help in understanding doujin.

Then read the translations of the games.

Then whatever you want. You could start with the ZUN-written stuff, but most of the important stuff is covered in what you should have already read, and his stuff isn't better than most doujin anyways. He's just as bad at Mary Sue-ing as anybody.

>>5617038
>you won't know just from the list of names who is important and who won't matter at all

Oh, but you will. It's on the list -> it's important. We're talking about Touhou here.

So, I've been meaning to play the Windows games for a while but they won't run on my linux box. Did someone actually make them work under wine?

>>5616982
I don't think they're fun. Sorry.

>>5617162

One of the recent releases also seems to have fixed a bunch of annoying issues like key autorepeat and transparent text background.

I also recall playing PCB in VirtualBox.

>>5617162
Interesting, thanks.
