A short tribute to the unspoken artistry of the Touhou stage backgrounds.

Who do I contact if I have theories?

Finished UFO

The UFO mechanic was cool and fun, you guys are all just incredibly mean

Finally got the IN 1CC

I have no idea why people consider this one so easy? It's not the hardest Touhou game by far, but the belief it's one of the easiest entries by most people feels strange to me.

Either way, shockingly enough, universally acclaimed game Touhou 8 is pretty fun

SMT Nocturne’s physical accuracy formula is this equation here (a is for agility)

Notably, the equation takes into account the level of the attacker, but oddly puts it in a denominator position

This results in you actually getting less accurate as you level up unless you invest in agility

Just watched Angel’s Egg for the first time and oh my fucking god, oh my god that was incredible

The fucking sound design and visuals here are incredible, some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen done in the medium, sheer genius from start to end

What the fuck do you mean Smarties have different flavors

Finished Touhou 20 (Normal 1CC)

I feel... complex about it. The feelings get to me especially when considering the controversy surrounding it.

Regardless of how amazing a lot of its stronger moments end up being, it feels hampered by Zun's commentary on AI and the future

I may write more later

It was to the point that he came back with a new design in later games as a coach/trainer, and even got a custom wallpaper made of him by the lead artist

Funnily enough, the fake love for him eventually turned into real love from a lot of people, and he’s pretty beloved now (if a bit controversial)

I don’t know anything about he Inazuma Eleven games outside of the poll-rigging debacle that resulted in this guy being the “most popular character” for literal years across several different voting periods
November 13, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Finished Z.A.T.O.

This will likely be my game of the year unless something else is really that fucking good

The moments of kindness, the odd feeling of being lost in a world you can't fully make sense of, the absurd rendered through the lens of the self, it's so palpable

Yume Nikki, How Fish is Made, OFF (though “one sitting” is being generous)

Made a Dark Knight glam for Halloween this year, going as a mountain Oni

Love how it ended up turning out
October 30, 2025 at 8:09 AM
Finally finished Violet Detector

I think on a critical level this game is kind of all over the place and the execution could be tighter in many aspects, but god damn if it wasn't some of the most fun I've had with a danmaku game

Will definitely be going back to chip away at 100% periodically
October 28, 2025 at 8:07 AM
Did not go into Violet Detector expecting to have this much fun, but I am having the time of my life

This Okina spellcard was so difficult to finally figure out, but so fucking satisfying to finally do
October 26, 2025 at 10:45 AM
1CCd Mountain of Faith after failing to do so back when I was trying to play the games in release order

This game felt like a pleasant stroll after the nightmare that was SA
October 23, 2025 at 8:47 AM
"What's the world, anyways?" 2/2

We're walking to the end, finally

(It's been hundreds of hours)

AFTER 14 YEASR, ITS' OVER, IT'S FINALYL FUCKING OVER

MY HADNS AREE SHAKING SO BAD
October 19, 2025 at 4:53 AM
After days of failure, decided to download a practice client, and got my first proper capture of Hell's Artificial Sun

This may be the single most evil spell I have ever dealt with in a Zun game

Very scared to have to do this in a 1CC attempt later

Agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony agony

Always think about the Neco Arc Chaos-C page on Mizuumi whenever the topic comes up
