If you think about it many of the unsolved cases are like a catbox too, right? So Michael Jackson’s case is kinda like the Rokkenjima massacres. There are the forgeries (the neverland movie), the theories, and probably a golden witch somewhere out there holding the key to the truth…

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.

You will never be a real witch. You have no magic, you have no powers, you have no spells. You are a fat tranny twisted by old tales and daydreaming into a crude mockery of sorcery.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back demons mock you. Your furniture is disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow witches” laugh at your queer appearance behind closed doors.

Goats are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of playing part in the gameboards have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even witches who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a goat. Your good heart is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to summon one to your home, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff you don't want to spend eternity in hell.

You will never be happy as a witch. You wrench out a fake cackle every single morning and tell yourself you're going to be evil, but deep inside you feel the love surrounding you like a warm hug, ready to uplift you with it's unmatchable joyfulness.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll stop wearing a wig, stop larping, and start actually doing your job. Your masters will love you, overjoyed and relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. One day the gamily will bury you with a headstone marked with a cross, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a human is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain is a skeleton that was unmistakably devoid of magic.

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.

my personal water closet

its gay

There's something in there. It's not normal…and I don't really know how to describe it. I really didn't think it was real at first and I really didn't want to believe but something about it felt so alluring it felt so right. I started losing my grasp on what was real and what wasn't. Those sounds those…not really words but more like pure thoughts and feelings made me see worlds I had been blind to. It's hard for me to exist normally these days. Every thought I have is about those sounds.

Im happy that we got to see it, but sad that it didn't turn into a serious project. Though, its better to be remembered as a cult following pilot than turn into season 10 rick and morty. Def chud-coded, but still cute and well animated

>>38395
Same I just make boxes and try to keep it symmetrical

>>38396
I kinda prefer digging into mountains I think they're cool
plus helps manage toxic waste fallout thing where you can't go outside

>>38397
I also like mountain bases but it still has a box form kek

omgeeee i luv rimwolrd im such a girly girl ^.^ (///.///) tee hee

I like digging into mountains and turn off bug infestations. I can plan around other things but giant bugs killed my previous runs because i could not deal with them when they were inside and ate half the colony.
I gotta try out the newer expansions at some point

God don't revive this thread

I know this is a cringe coomer weaboo design but I think she’s cool as fuck

I don't care as long as I find the character appealing myself.

I don't really care if a character I like is appealing to moids. If I cared about that, I couldn't like so many female characters as most things in life are for made for them. Also they're fictional and I usually don't apply my beliefs when it comes to fiction

Just watched this and hated it, it would be awesome as a 20 minute (or less) short film, but instead is dragged to an hour and forty minute slog.
Premise reminds me of House of Leaves and it has good atmosphere but it meanders.

>>32226
Not sure what even happened in the film. It was mostly still shots of dark corridors and rooms.

>>32236
Yeah I have no clue, the kids parents go missing and they're trapped in a house with a monster who can reshape reality to keep them trapped. Early in the film there was a line from the father stating that Kevin feel down the stairs and hit his head so for the longest time I thought it was going to be revealed that the father was experimenting on his children with some bizarre shifting house technology, but the film ended in such an ambiguous way I don't think there was any actual explanation in film.

OG trilogy is fantastic Dawn is my favorite.

You're right it's not exactly a traditional fighter since it's got the other interesting mechanics of deck building and grazing. I'm feeling alright with those but still can't remember what all the different weather conditions are too lol.

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.

I've not played enough of each character to really get a feel for each one but so far I feel most suited to Marisa and Remilia. I tend to like characters that have high mobility and favour aggressive playstyles. I'm practicing Remi right now since people recommend you learn one character first, then it gets easier to pick up new ones once you get the basics.

>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.

>>6823
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

I already said what I wanted: moids out of my hobby
being obnoxiously horny in an online game is not a part of its social aspect, and prostrating yourself in front of those types with the defeatist "nothing to be done here, find another hobby" is not the answer

>>39237
What exactly do you propose be done?

>>39238
unfortunately, what I want to propose would be both illegal IRL and against the rules here

but permabanning those who annoy me would be a decent start

>>39239
Unfortunately GMs protect gooners on this game.

>>39239
I see. Well then I apologize for annoying you and I wish you peace and happiness

reddit fucking banned me again so i'll be reposting this here

yes it received a lot of upvotes if you must know

You talk about this damn game so often I'm tempted to check it out but it really doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Maybe when it's on a deep sale

>>39225
I haven’t talked about it in a while I think
If it’s not your cup of tea you don’t have to force yourself to try it. Most people can’t get over Edmund’s gross humor and grindiness
Aside from that, though… the boss songs are absolute bangers and if you like roguelikes/tactical games you might like this a lot

Also it’s challenging and frustrating at first

I actually 100%d it back in mid April already. I want to try modding it again, maybe learn some DLL injection stuff
