Touhou threads don't exist

Stormtroper

The universe conspired to stop me from doing so, but I persevered and got to play Hidden Star in Four Seasons. 1CCed it on Normal on my first try. It's really cool, although I don't like the music very much (then again, I often don't like it the first time around). I died several times to preventable death on the last boss so I almost didn't make it.

I tried extra a few times. Not having Autumn as season throws me off, getting endlessly killed when "season-bombing". Anyhow, I got as far as the sixth spellcard, unfortunately I won't get to play more for a couple days. I'll use every chance I get to look at fanstuff, though.

> won't get to play more for a couple days
Because school?

Stormtroper

Because work, although it seems I might get to play later today after all.

What is the name of the MSTPT remix that's used in this video?

I've found a version of it with replaced lyrics, called Marisa Tanked My Score With An Incredible Hand, but this video suggests that a version exists with the remixed music and the original lyrics.

Touhou has lost its mass existence in favor of Love Living and Idolmastering

Stormtroper

Pfft, Idolm@ster is old news, meanwhile Touhou still has professional-quality fanworks and the Hakurei Jinja Reitaisai. Dunno about Love Life.

Though I've noticed that Touhou has become more discrete, for instance now crossovers are less common and memes don't spread as widely, so it's no longer invasive towards other works. Isn't it sad?

So who is the strongest Touhou? is it still Flandre?

Stormtroper

Powerlevel rankings are usually troublesome, but when they happen, Yukari is often consdiered the winner.

glennmagusharvey

But Cirno is the strongest!

glennmagusharvey

I think that no one on the internet has yet combined mentions of New Orleans, Louisiana (the city nicknamed "The Big Easy") with the yukkuri meme (i.e. the one where they say "Yukkuri shiteitte ne!", literally "Do it slowly!", but often more meaningfully translated as "Take it easy!").

Stormtroper

So I played the game where Reimu puts down a slave rebellion and destroys a city, again. I beat it 1CC on normal as Otter!Reimu on my first try, though I messed up badly several times near the end and almost didn't make it, finishing with no resources to spare. It's intended to be easier than most and it really seems so, but it also seems 1CCing it on Hard won't be nearly as straightforward. I really like the patterns, backgrounds and character designs and themes, especially Cake's Keiki's.

Edit: Also: Returning Home from the Underground ~ Wild Dream

The Unconnected Marketeers demo is out!
I played a bit, it took me three tries to 1CC it in Normal, I'd say it's harder than usual but that probably had more to do with me being rusty. Also I found it very difficult to gather power.
The Ability Card system looks intriguing.

At this point, I'm convinced that the only thing Bad Apple hasn't been emulated on is a bar of soap.

get to work

glennmagusharvey

Stormtroper

I still think this is the most impressive version:

glennmagusharvey

if it's a two color display, it can be used to animate bad apple

Stormtroper

So Unconnected Marketeers has been out for a few days already and I didn't know until yesterday.
The demo wrecked me but I've been faring much better now. The obvious way to improve right now is to learn what the different Ability Cards do.
I like the new character designs, not so much the BGM.

glennmagusharvey

TIL: there exists something called "EoSD for Busy Person"

Without thinking too much about it, I think you can find the intersections of all Master Spark edges (considering tangent Sparks as if they were one) and the screen edges, then for each point check if it belongs to another spark and not its edges; if it doesn't, that means there are neighbouring points that are safe from sparks. If there's no such point and there's at least one spark then there's no safe point.
Though I think that'd be θ(n^3) which I'm not sure if it's good enough for the problem's limits.
Edit: actually, it's not enough to consider sparks with shared edges as one; all parallel, intersecting sparks should be treated as one.

glennmagusharvey

I've been told that that's not Master Spark but is actually Double Spark.
