@poopernova Well aware of the Nanahira stuff, well enjoyed. Flan's Monosugoi song is probably the most popular of all the Halozy ones she did, but there's quite a number of others, Koishi's there being probably my favorite. :rumia_dance:
Nanahira's Touhou doujin circle appearances though are pretty interesting, think the most out there one is from early Akatsuki Records, back before it became Stack only.

Though my favorite outside of the Koishi track probably comes from Girls Logic Observatory. Some nice energetic wonderland for Alice.

Silly space Koishi song, since it popped back up again. Honestly this track feels like a great representation of Koishi's shut mind, she's still capable of thought and feeling and whatnot, but she now gets easily distracted and invested into the things she sees, and acts immediately upon her desires, for better or worse.
Also fun hearing Koishi get punished for degeneracy.

@SuperSnekFriend Genuine answer, Microsoft failed to scale servers. As the owners of many, many data centers. The steam release player count only reached ~25k people, but still nobody could log in. And of course, online only meant that nobody could play.
I've heard from a guy who is into this kinda stuff though the game is still a solid flight sim overall now that he could play it. -

Ended up watching half the Like a Dragon: Yakuza live action amazon series earlier due to being roped into a group watching of it, and my god it's bad. Much worse than any of us expected.
Most of us knew about the story of the series going in and understood the general plot, and one of us didn't know really anything but the surface level, but nobody could understand a single thing that was going on in the show. Characters swap between multiple different personalities at the drop of a hat, time jumps back and forth once every 5 minutes, and many plot threads will be created that mean absolutely nothing but lead to confusion. Previous knowledge didn't help since everyone is nowhere near their game versions (Kiryu acts most of the time like the exact opposite of his character). Going in as its own thing also doesn't help, since characters are muddy at best and every single scene was treated with the exact same level of importance. I could not recap a single strand of the plot because the random one off characters in a small corner of Kamurocho are given just as much, if not more screen time than Kiryu or any of the actual yakuza.
There was one good thing though, the first 2 episodes have some absurd scenes that are genuinely hilarious, though likely not the intention. Episode 1 ends with a car being thrown out of the second story of a parking garage by another car, with it almost being cartoon-like in execution. Episode 2 has a scene where a weak ass pistol took a massive chunk out of a random guy and launched him far enough you'd think he took a shotgun blast to the chest, followed by the most unceremonious explosion imaginable.
From what we've seen so far, don't watch this shit, it's not worth it. It doesn't appeal to Yakuza fans, let alone anyone else. The creators were proud of having not played any of the games, and it shows. Several hours of my life I'm not getting back. :cirno_angry: -

@Ronnie21093 It was a real good moment, simply for the fact it wasn't just "proof of destruction of evidence," it was an email that said "yeah we destroyed those Valve documents relating to the case like you asked boss." So absurd, can hardly make this shit up :flan_laugh: -

@Kyonko802 Remember when adding smaller features like lives for animals or being able to pet animals was just a small side thing a developer added to show they really liked their game when they had some free time at the end of a project?
Thank god that's gone, now we can judge our games entirely off these superficial features. Why yes, adding the cats lying around in the town should be your first focus, much more important than any main gameplay feature like the combat. :flan_tired: -

@Moto_Chagatai 8magics to kill the gods is peak. Contains possibly my favorite Touhou arrange of all time, and a lot of good ones beside. Hohuri has some good tracks, but it's also VERY diao ye zong, music doesn't come with good endings or happy lyrics. Anything Sally is always a good time, definitely classics. The other 2 I can't recognize off the top of my head.
Though Necromantic and Bad Apple!! aren't exactly bad tracks, they are very overplayed. Akatsuki Records has a lot of better tracks across the many albums. Not much one for Alstroemeria Records, they're not bad but most of their tracks don't click with me.
I have entirely blinded your question, and have no clue what the answer is, but I'm sure you're right. -

A maiden like no other, full of fire and plates. Give her some matches, and she'll have a blast.

@Echigo @AstolfoCockVore >Not to mention how many games already exist for this series makes me think they are low quality.
Intentional, they know their market. It's clowns on steam who want quick items for their inventory at a dirt cheap price. -

@AstolfoCockVore To be fair, there's consistency here. Tokyo Clanpool is a proper game made by asians, but the rest of these are all garbage western porn games thrown to steam after one session of a RenPy tutorial. :flan_smug2: -

@RatPoster Yuuka always seems like she's got such a large amount of gap moe. All the threatening statements and overt shows of power, but she'll treat weak beings like fairies so nicely that you'd never think her a fighter. She'll scare humans in a way that sticks with them all her life when they're near her field, but she chats with shopkeepers in the human village on an equal level and offers advice on raising plants.
All this to say, she absolutely has a hidden romantic side. Get to know her enough on her repeated visits to the village, and I assure you, you'll have a good wife. -

I feel the need to bring up this album, .new(), from Autumn Reitaisai 11, it has completely infested my mind for the past few days. all the tracks from .new label are so good. It includes some of my favorites from the group like ノンヴァーバル・テレパシック・ラヴュウ and :clap::clap:, and some tracks that immediately hit me like .new(, a wonderful (if short) arrange of Theme of Eastern Story.
Listening to it also gave me an appriciation of one of their older tracks that had a PV, Moon Shot. An arrange covering Imperishable Night as a whole, I love hearing the individual themes forcefully break their way through the Theme of Eastern Story.

@SuperSnekFriend For being such a good girl, she's allowed to have a small nibble, as a treat! I'll make sure to treat her to a proper feast of meats later though. -

More Rumia! It's still her day over here after all. It's wonderful that there's a youkai so cute, even the Hakurei shrine maiden can't hate her. :cirno_smile:

Sometimes, as the days get colder and the nights longer, all you need to warm up is a cute youkai daughterwife. Rumia warms the soul of all. :flan_smile:

Sega, why? They're delisting almost all games from the mega drive up to the Dreamcast from all platforms. Completely don't understand this, it's clearly not a license issue for all of them since delisted games include ones with no external content like Nights into Dreams. :cirno_think:
I could view this in the worst light possible, the idea they're doing this to try forcing people to buy their newer games at full price, but I'd like to think they have some better reason. :flan_tired: -

Beat (not completed) the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC, it was absolutely worth it. My initial annoyance at having to unlock practically all the characters just to get Richter was gone by the time I could play as him. There's so much love for Castlevania as a series of games poured into this DLC. Definitely going to be spending some more time playing in the near future.
Sadly (or maybe thankfully) Konami likely doesn't see the same value in Castlevania, a cult following decent amount of people who adore the series simply isn't the same as the mindless mass of consumers they want to sell their games to (Dominus Collection is estimated by steamDB to have only sold 120k over the past few months, while Advance collection has its highest estimation around 275k over 3 years, nowhere near what Konami would like). They could at least offer the license to people who do care beyond making DLC, but that's very unlikely and could easily lead to its own sort of bad games. -

@Kyonko802 @smugumin EA and their studios can make good games, but every time a studio of theirs makes a good game, they're sent to the slop mines. Hell, most of these studios all follow the same example. Make a decent to good game, then go to the slop mines to never make anything worthwhile again.
Popular example, Titanfall 2 was a really good FPS with mecha mechanics and great movement, and the studio is now stuck doing battle royale F2P battle pass slop.
