  • the interesting part about Rensenware is that as far as I know, it doesn’t come with the game on its own, yet I vividly remember trying to play it. my best guess is that was a very deliberate prank set up by someone on some file sharing place or something.

    I’ve tried most of the better known danmakufu games, one of the mahjong games, thoroughly hooked right now on Lost Branch of Legend, and watched a friend play Artificial Dream in Arcadia. Plus a random dozen of other small games from gamejams and such. Asprey on youtube also covers a lot of fan content, so I watch them once in a while.


  • it feels like I’ve basically always been aware of touhou. Through stuff like Bad Apple or Ronald MacDonald Insanity, or Perfect Math Class. It’s always been some kinda nebulous connection between random parts of the internet, something people kept talking about in passing. My first actual run in with a game was actually Rensenware, even tho at the time I didn’t realize it. Don’t remember where I even got it from, but my parents had to give the computer to a Guy who managed to unlock it.

    then, maybe 5-6 years ago I started going through the games just out of sheer curiosity, and got thoroughly hooked on EOSD. Fast forward 3 ish years from that, and now I constantly have a couple tabs open on the wiki, learning Touhou songs on piano, trying some fan games and reading official and fan written works, getting into the weird ends like KKHTA or Osana Reimu, etc etc… I find everything about it so immensely comforting now, and it’s genuinely got me through a bunch of rough times. Feels kinda weird to say that, but das how it be hahah
