what's the big deal about touhou? Yeah it's got some cool music and a cute girl or two, but take all of that away and it's just extreme galaga. How does a series like this survive for so long?
>>50865499you wouldn't understand, neph
It's escapism for the Japanese salaryman.Look into the setting and you'll find an all-encompassing inversion of the Tokyo buglife.
>>50865547This sums it up. Sometimes you just want to escape to a fantasy world inhabited by 99% cute women.
I want to shove off this mortal coil and live in Seiga's breasts
>>50865647Does male friendship not exist within Japanese society or something? I've never understood that. Living in a world with nothing but women sounds like hell, and I don't even mean that in an incel way. Who would you talk sports and game with?
>>50865885>Living in a world with nothing but women sounds like hellAnime women, not 3DPD.
>>50865922Still. Do you not have bros, or a good relationship with your father? I think wanting to live in a world without dudes might mean you have some self-loathing or something
>>50865942Human village has men
>>50865885I personally enjoy female company more than male. Women are often friendlier and more honest about their emotions. I like hanging with the lads too, but guys can often be cold and mean. Women make me happy!
>>50866054>Women are often friendlier and more honest about their emotionsWhere the hell do you live where that's true? I like hanging out with guys more because they're way more honest. I don't think I've ever heard my friends ever talk behind their backs about each other, on the other hand I've seen plenty of women do that.
>>50866149t. slut
>>50866170I'm a guy though...
>>50866149I meant they're more upfront when they're happy, sad, mad, or some other emotion. Of course they do talk behind each others' backs, but you could argue that serves my point. When a guy doesn't like something about somebody, 9 times out of 10 he'll just keep it to himself.
>>50866201>but you could argue that serves my pointI wouldn't argue that. I think it's a lot more dishonest to talk about someone behind their back than to not talk about it at all. And 9/10 they don't talk about it because it's not anything too major, or they'll talk about it indirectly by joking about it. At least that's been my experience.
>>50866054Only a tranny would say this. God DAMMIT why are there so many tranny Touhou fans
>>50866270 The same reason children are getting monkey pox
>>50866270Somehow liking women and wanting to be around them makes me a tranny? You DO realize heterosexual men exist, right Anon?
>>50866322There is no heterosexual man in the world who prefers the platonic company of women over men. There's also no heterosexual man that uses exclamation marks, in a fucking 4chan post no less. Like, what the heck!
>>50866331Nta, but I think you should take it easy, tou are thinking way too hard about this, this website is the same where you can say nigger or you will never be a woman.
>>50866331>There's also no heterosexual man that uses exclamation marks, in a fucking 4chan post no less.lurk moar
>>50866331NTA but I sorta get it. When you get into a good group it doesn't matter whether it's women or man majority.I once got into a group basically comprising of just women and had ton of fun, on the other hand I've been in groups of just guys that I didn't enjoy being in.
>>50865499Girls are cute, music is cool, visuals are pretty, gameplay is fun and challenging. The last part is especially crucial for a game to keep you engaged and feel rewarding in long term without it being gachia slop or something. Also tons of fan content, doujinshi, music, fangames, art, etc.
Lots of bullets isn't really challenging. Is tetris suddenly better because there's 2 falling blocks at the same time?
>>50866685You better make extreme twin stick tetris with a weird folklore setting and cute girls before someone steals the idea.
>>50865499longevity. back when the first game came out you could only really make like 5 or 6 different types of video game and ZUN, being based, realised you could just shoehorn cute girls into arkanoid, call it a day and then simply not be a total jew about fanart. Fast forward a few decades and here we are. credit where credit's due for inventing my wife along the way as well
>>50868714This honestly sounds awesome. Some Anon please make this!
>>50868714>>50869581Hmm... Maybe I should learn c++
Good lord this thread may as well be /v/hu
>>50869749For C++, I recommend SFML
>>50865885They (probably) have a nice chunk of male friends so the escapism is comprised of what they lack. Think of it less as>surrounded by 100% cute girls 100% of the time; no dudes everbut more>A magical realm full of a bunch of cute girls; can be interacted with on your own time
>>50869767what happened to /v/hu, and /jp/hu too?
>>50865986hey mister
