Rachel and Jun
Their cats are cute and their content has a decent variety

¿Does any1 know about a youtuber that ACTUALLY makes creative video essays?
I swear there must be atleast 40 video essays complaining about "tiktok face". It's not that they're bad…I'm just tired of the same topic being discussed again and again

My favorite YTer since I was 12… I love her, yes she is millennial and you can tell sometimes but her sense of humor and aesthetic is so fun. She's doing a D&D campaign that I still need to catch up on…

>Funny you switched from the best zoner in the game to a melee focused character, it must be good having alts with different playstyles to cover your character's weaknesses.
The plan was to at some point focus again on Yuyuko, because I was sort of over-relying on her supreme kit. Incidentally I struggled the most against rushdown, so this helps me understand the sort of mindset I need to play against it, learn basic mechanics of the game more rigorously and have fun, because Meiling is awesome!

I recommend you take your time and try the entire cast, otherwise you might be tempted to switch in the future. This isn't necessarily negative though, you'll end up having one more character to play in your roster! I agree on what people say, to get good you should most definitely find the one character you want to focus on. Although I think you're well aware that Remi's movement is fairly unorthodox.

That's interesting, rushdown tactics seems like Yuyuko weakness since she has low mobility, but once she gets her bullets set up they're super tough to deal with.

I've played a bit of each character and read on their respective pages on the wiki to get an idea of each one. Even though Remi's dash and flight mechanics are unusual I like her a lot. I also enjoyed Sakuya but tbh that's probs cause she's just incredibly good and straightforward to play lol.

I know this is an old post by now but
> Something I've been wondering is, what official stuff (such as manga) is there besides games?
It’s mostly just games and manga, though there’s some ebooks too.

If you want a recommendation I think Forbidden Scrollery (pic rel) is by far the best touhou manga, and it’s definitely the one that focuses most on world building if that’s what you’re looking for. It also doesnt really require familiarity with the games. None of the manga really do, except Silent Sinner In Blue for which you really need to play 6 7 and 8 before reading.

Check out moriyashrine.org they have links to all the official stuff that’s been released. Figuring out what order to read everything might be tricky, but honestly that sense of piecing things together is just kind of part of the touhou experience.

Sometimes I think about how the average touhou character has the lifespan of a sleep forever bacterium spore

Did anyone go to Touhoufest this year

I do. Mostly to Japanese war songs:

The militant and religious fanaticism of this one is sometimes made obscure by the liberal secularwashing of the cause of abolition. Now that we're no longer Christians by and large we like to remember the role that Christianity played in spreading and legitimizing slavery but like to forget the role that fanatical religious reformism played in abolishing it. Britons seem to feel that it is their duty and obligation to play Dawkins to America's evangelicals so become offended at the suggestion that militant Anglican revival played the historical role that it did in inspiring the British Empire to take seriously the enforcement of slave trade embargoes on the seas. It is harder to ignore the religious fundamentalism that motivated Northern Abolitionists, since their propaganda pieces all revolved around it. The relatively higher religiosity of the South today is the strongest argument for secularwashing abolition. And the South did have plenty of religious themes, songs and propaganda at the time. But none of them, for my money, are as powerful, striking, or occasionally bone-chilling as the Battle Hymn. "Let us die to make men free." There's a shiver in those words, regardless of the virtue of the cause they were spent on.

>The relatively higher religiosity of the South today is the strongest argument for secularwashing abolition.
I disagree on this one. These people need to be confronted with the inherent contradictions of their ideas as much as possible.
It would be good to remind them constantly that abolitionists were not godless secular invaders like they think they were, but instead people who were more devout that they are now.

Sorry but this song is a banger. I just love this singing style.

Very nice piece. Impressive.

Which reminds me. Whenever a cold case suddenly gets resolved, somehow it always turns out than the truth is so much more mundane than the narratives surrounding the central event. Likewise, learning the plain facts is narratively much lesser than arriving at the truth yourself…
Probably the reason it was much wiser to never open the diary… if you were a descendant of Ushiromiyas, you are probably better off not reducing them to their final moments in life.

I'm wondering if we can apply Umineko-style analysis to other domains.

To describe Umineko roughly, it's a novel about a cold case and the interpretations it invites. That's one valid way of looking at it. Some episodes are in a sense the "interpretations", in a way, of what could've happened.

Similarly, there's competing narratives for cold cases in real life as well. Take Jonbenet Ramsey for instance, there's "Burke did it", "Patty did it", "The dad did it"… People will describe those in quite elaborate detail. The fact that we don't have access to more information, what is described as a "catbox" in the novel, is what gives life to these theories.

But cold cases aren't the only domain where narratives compete, in fact they don't have to happen in a closed catbox at all. I see this a lot in politics and even just between any two sides contesting anything. Each of them has their own "truth".
I often see that, in fact, neither of them lies entirely. It is actually easier to make your case using facts. However the way they are interpreted can vary wildly!

You can apply witch "magic" here too.
Bernkastel is about seeing without love and getting to the bone of the facts.
Lambdadelta is about devoting oneself to a certain idea.
Though, I'm not sure I remember who's about "seeing with love", I'm sure pure fact analysis isn't enough here still and you need to understand motivations to get the full picture.

Beato is absolutely right that everyone who tries to "find the truth" needs to be severely ballbusted for a few decades first. When you talk to people straightforwardly they just interpret everything in the gayest way possible lmao. I love Beato's symbolism.

I mean that's actually how all the best professors taught in my memory. This forces you to engage your faculties.

thats a good thing. 3G is insecure

I wish my phone network had the 4G bands for Japanese phones…Their flip phones are sick.
>>30454
I haven't heard of any flip phones with 5G functionality yet, even in the US. Are you familiar with any?

I have this exact phone pictured here, in white. I love it because the buttons light up!

>>30426
that's so cool. i love it.

Ive had a moto g 2025 for about a year now and its a fine phone. Just the default mic/speakers suck if you want to use speakerphone. Quick search showed its a similar price to the 2023 you asked about. Dont know what country youre in so that might play into your decision but I can fully recommend the 2025.

Given theyre budget smartphones I would think the 2023 would be similar enough to a 2025 and just have a slightly worse battery due to age/potential use if youre buying secondhand.

Is there any reason you want the 2023 specifically?

always love me some squarepusher. venetian snares 2

Thread wake up the second movie's trailer dropped and the plot got leaked lol

I love FNAF shitposty fangames like Dayshift at Freddy's
it really plays into my fantasy of having a buddy to do evil and mischiefy things with

The leaked plot sounds like a clusterfuck fanfiction that's trying to be grimdark and mature to make up for the fact that people said the first movie was too kiddish (image isn't nsfw I just did that for those who don't want spoilers for the second movie). Some of this stuff seems to line up with the trailers and behind the scenes clips we've gotten

Movie 2 came out, I didn't see it but I saw clips and heard it was kind of meh

Idc much about the games anymore but I do have some husbandos in the cast and I masturbate to the thought of them, sorry
