Threadbump.
Just going to self-pimp for a moment and note that I am doing a Tohomon LP over at Heapers' Hangout, text+screencaps only.
Also if anyone knows the arcane mechanisms behind getting Touhou Hisoutenkou to patch to Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, I would deeply appreciate your sharing of those secrets.

Highly Responsive to Prayers Hell and Makai easy 1CC get! (It feels weird saying that while being able to do well more than that in most of the other games.)
Have some videos:
I forgot if I posted this already, so whatevs:
Now do Normal!
Hell isn't that bad except for Kikuri. Don't be afraid to bombspam her because you'll be back up to a good amount of resources by the time you hit Konngara.
Makai is mostly about how smoothly you beat Yuugen Magan, so at least you know how soon to restart if you have to.
I already did, actually. And last night I did Makai and Hell on Hard. Though that was because I made up for dying a lot on bosses by racking lots of points on juggling the orb and not missing point items, which I can't do on Lunatic, so that'll wait.
Also, I find Kikuri is only difficult because of her first attack pattern (it's pretty hard to do anything while getting showered by bullets like that), so the entire run kind of depends on those few seconds, which is kind of annoying. Hurray for bombs.
Da ze. (I'm the Reimu on the right.)
Happy Cirno Day, everyone!

FUCK YEAH
Highly Responsive to Prayers Lunatic Hell 1CC done!
I got lucky on stage... the one that's divided in two by a platform. The orb never warped down so I racked lots of points, which is good because Kikuri cost me 6 lives and their respective bombs (some because I was maxed out).
Bless you, stage 19.
Konngara is a wimp. I did particularly well on her and only had to bomb once, so I ended up with plenty of resources.
Ahhh, fun times.
Yeah, I distinctly remember one of the Hell levels right at the end being "Would you like shitloads of points?"
Grats mon!
So I seem to have taken a liking to Reimu/Yukari. Their outfit colors (red and violet) may have something to do with it.
Whoo, Makai Lunatic 1CC!
Well, there was this attempt where the game crashed after beating Sariel's first form with plenty of resources to beat her second. In my mind that was a successful attempt, though I couldn't stop playing until 1CCing it for reals anyways.
Makai's levels really are difficult. Damn you, stage 11 (the one with lots of floor-level tiles) and 16 (the one where the bullets blend with the background), you make bombs worth using.
Also, the thing where points from after-boss bonuses don't get you lives is annoying.
The most important thing to learn in Lunatic I think is learning to dash through showers of bullets to reach the other side of non-boss stages. Pretty much everything has to be done while considering that you're going to have to do that.
Ahh, I wish this game had replays. Or that there were more like it... well, there's this fangame under development, I'll see if I can get it to work. Also if any of you wants to try the game without having to download anything, there's this (until stage 5 it's mostly the same except worse).
Anyhow, stuff:
It's a good pairing. Though I've always thought that Gensokyo seems like the place that runs on polygamy.
OH WAIT, TURNS OUT THE DEFAULT NUMBER OF EXTRA LIVES ISN'T 4. So I guess I didn't 1cc anything. The uploader I used to double check the amount of lives must've downloaded the game from the same place I did. Well, another reason to keep playing is always a good thing. I'll spare you the update.
Edit: Also, this:
Did you have lives to spare?
Not throughout the entire run (I'd have gotten game overs at around Kikuri and Elis).
Meh. You might be overestimating how much people on this forum care about purism in any case.
But it's not about any of you, it's about meee!
Anyhow, I already 1CCed these again with 3 lives. If you can do Makai, you can do Hell with less lives so that one was quick.
On the Makai run things went awry during Yuugen Magan and lost more lives than usual, did the per-emptively bomb-through-stages thing (which I should've tried waaay earlier), things looked up during Elis (IIRC I only bombed once), got lucky during stage 19 (the one with two long platforms on each side and tiles on top) and the orb kept bouncing above without me having to intervene much and racking points, and had a very climactic fight against Sariel, starting with I think 3 lives and ending on my last life and no bombs. Ahh, should've downloaded some video recording program.
Also, Slowpoke news: Hopeless Masquerade (TH 13.5, fighting game) has been announced.
If you're Slowpoke, I'm Slowking, because this is the first I've heard of it.
But Slowking is faster than Slowpoke.
Also, screenshots.
Also, it's about a religion popularity contest war.
Looks like they completely redid the engine instead of just expanding SWR again.
I'm excited to see what the cast looks like. Okuu was the only one from beyond MOF that made it into Hisoutensoku, and we've got a lot of really neat characters since then.
The fighting game genre is about one of the last genres I care to play, but eh, I'll see what new characters this new Tasofro game brings.
Yeah, same here.

The spriting is kinda choppy.
I hope they fix that before the official release.
Heads up, the next Comiket starts tomorrow (and Hopeless Masquerade's release is this Sunday).

Also, this has a bunch of stuff I missed, and the Touhou stuff is already grouped up so I could've saved myself some work by linking to that earlier. And the Touhou games are sold on the 30th, not just Hopeless Masquerade.
Ahh, I want that Touhou Minecraft.
