If Touhou is just a product of nostalgia and memberberries, aren't classic STGs also a nostalgic circlejerk?The "Touhou isn't a Shmup" meme is just the STG version of "Smash isn't a fighting game, it's a party game".
I do agree that Stargate SG-1 is the superior version but take it to /tv/.

my knowledge of touhou only extends to this doujin
where i live only trannies like touhou
>>742295885Which touhou game should I play on my birthday?

>>742297248Anything but that
>>742297349story of eastern wonderland
>>742295885Touhou is popular because it's pseudo gacha trash. Most of the fandom versions, not the actual versions mind you, of Touhou characters are largely just the cast of your average Gacha game.
>>742297480>because it's pseudo gacha trashThere's literally nothing about touhou that relates to gacha.Unless you somehow think that a game having cute girls makes it a gacha in which case you are retarded
>>742295885Wriggle is NOT that stacked, she is a boyish loli
>>742297436You really have nothing newer...?
>>742297867unfinished dream of all living ghost
>>742297750It's the same kind of characters and the same type of fan content being made for those characters.
>>742297932Well alright, here we go
>>742298164good luck amigo!
OOOOUUUUUGGGHHHHHH
I think anything is good as long as it's posted on /jp/
>>742295885Touhou is a core shmup and even better it was always free.

>>742310128I hate Suwako art that doesn't make her hat eyes wacky as hell
>>742302451no, it was like 6 years ago
do any of you ever feel like at some point you stopped feeling how time passes? you could do it normally before, but now you are stuck on one year for whatever reason
>>742311063Is the huge bulging eyes standing atop a hat not silly enough for you?
>>742295885Behold the Hakurei bloodline.
>>742311754It's gotta be at least this wacky
>>742311994That's barely her hat at all
>actual 2hu stg discussion bread>won't make it to 100 repliesvs>stealth Reimu bread>590 replies 276 images in 7 hoursWhy are you people like this
>>742313995Too tired for tribalismI had a cool discussion in that Touhou town mascot thread where someone posted their tier list & reasoning for where some of the games were.
>>742297142happy batsuday! play mountain of faith
>>742313995Reimu is just that good
What the fuck is STG?
>>742314530source??
>>742297941mm, gacha is a monetization model thoughbeit...?
>>742314589scuf on X
Touhou revolutionized the shmup genre by making the playable characters cute girls instead of boring ass space ships
FLOWER WOMAN
>>742314530What is chens problem?
>>742316293Becoming a teenager
I would talk about the video games but I don't play video games
>>742315192Yes. And very quickly it became a series about drawn out boss patterns instead of being an arcade shooter.
>>742313995>actual 2hu stg discussion breadYou mean the shmup thread earlier today? I was in it, it was ok we talked about shmups and touhou.>stealth Reimu breadIt won't make to half of that by morning. It will likely die soon unfortunately.>Why are you people like thisTouhou is fun.>>742314287Thank you anon! I promise you I will... One day... I promise you from the bottom of my heart I will.
>>742302451I'm scared, bros...
>>742314530Chen would NOT treat her mom (Ran) like that.She'd also NOT play farming simulator.
>>742315192Touhou wasn't the first to use cute girls>>742317054It also wasn't the first to have desperation phases that you have to time out
>>742317323>Touhou wasn't the first to use cute girlsCastle Wolfenstein was also not the first Stealth video game ever made, yet ask anyone what was the first and see which answer they give you.
>>742317182>I'm scared, bros...Don't worry anon I will be with you until the very end.
>>742317519Not really a fitting comparison as people often actually talk about the first ships-are-cute-girls shmups that were around before Touhou
>>742297142Happy Birthday Anon!
>>742318273What shmup had>Ships are actually cute girlsGoing on?
>>742318737Cotton Boomerang?
>>742318965Looks a bit gross
>>742318965I was promised cute ships. Where are the ships?
>>742318734Thank you anon!
>>742319131n-nani?!>>742319365They ride brooms. That's a ship. Metaphorically.
