Short sleeves! Feels weird to see Yukari in a short sleeve variant of that dress

Good to know, thank you!

You know, now that I’m talking about this, I notice you use “Author” instead of “Artist”. Do you plan on putting other stuff here too like Touhou fanfic or fangames?

Are you sure she had a hand in drawing herself? ;)

You should probably tell !touhou@lemmy.world and !touhou@ani.social.

Thank you for telling me about Artificial Dream, I’ll have to check it out!

Gensokyo no Nazo was fun, forget if I finished though. Started and didn’t finish Satori Komeiji’s Mental Education, it was cute. Bunny Love Expert was a cute and short puzzle game. Forgot how far I got on Koumajou Densetsu II: Yougen no Chingonka but it was gorgeous. I do not know if these are still here but there were a couple bullet hells I found when searching “Touhou” on the iOS App Store and I enjoyed them, and I found one freemium idler on the iOS App Store that I had a lot of fun with cheating for the premium currency and rolling the gacha with it. Might have played Touhou Luna Nights, if so it was also fun.

Your engagement with the Touhou fandom sounds pretty similar to mine, right down to trying to learn the songs. What fan games have you tried?

Also you got me to look up Rensenware. At first I thought it was maybe a typo, but the “rensen” bit sounded familiar, once I found out what it was it made sense:

Rensenware (Korean: 련선웨어; stylized as rensenWare) is ransomware that infects Windows computers. It was created as a joke by Kangjun Heo (허강준; alias “0x00000FF”) and first appeared in 2017. Rensenware is unusual as an example of ransomware in that it does not request the user pay the creator of the virus to decrypt their files, instead requiring the user to achieve a required number of points in the bullet hell game Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object before any decryption can take place.

I ended up delving into yukkuri as my weird end. I’m the type who can’t watch Fight Club without being told when the violence occurs so I can look away, so it’s very weird that I was a-okay with yukkuri (as in consuming the content personally, it existing is fine regardless of if I can personally handle it haha).

I found it because another fandom I was in used its characters to do an animation of Kero ⑨ Destiny, and so of course the original Kero ⑨ Destiny animation was recommended. I found a lot of other Touhou animations through that, got curious what all these characters were from, and found it. Took me awhile to actually play the games instead of just being in the fandom and knowing the fandom personalities and the like.

This is terrible for artist exposure but great for keeping my hands free of Facebook: I usually click and enlarge the image on Lemmy without ever touching the source link. But I do appreciate you attributing the source when the picture is not something you shot, I always thought that was appropriate netiquette. I link the source myself if I’m posting something I did not make. If it’s on some undesirable place like Facebook I add in a little “link goes to Facebook” warning if it isn’t just a plain URL where you can literally read the link is on Facebook.

Even if you don’t have an account, you may interact with or use Meta Products… We also receive information using cookies and similar technologies, like the Meta Pixel or Social Plugins, when you visit other websites and apps that use our Business Tools or other Meta Products.

So even though I don’t have an account myself, so many non-Facebook sites use their business tools, have that tracking Meta Pixel embedded that they have my data anyways. I am aware you might say “then why worry about going to their site, they have stuff on you anyways,” I don’t want to give them more and it is the principle of the thing. I’m not helping them by being another of your 300 friends on Facebook so you feel a tiny bit of additional pressure to give in and get one to stay in touch with people. This is probably why people don’t want to be infected with Facebook cooties.

One way I look at it, and that you might want to advise these people to look at it, is that they benefit from our data without paying us a cent. We benefit back by having you use their hosting to store the cute owl image so we can see it for free on Lemmy without having to go to their website. I remember storms being made about hotlinking awhile ago on the internet. Wikipedia says it’s also sometimes known as “bandwidth theft” or “leeching”. I am not an “eye for an eye” type but Facebook is a huge corporation, not a human being with feelings or human rights. Facebook leeches my data, I encourage people to leech their bandwidth :)

A lot of communities I participate in are thankfully drama-free but it is hard for me to forget there are mods because the person providing a lot of the content usually has a little M for Moderator next to their name ;-; I’m glad yours has enough participants that I assume that does not happen

I have noticed that the otome creators who are on the Fediverse are on Mastodon. I’m not going to give up on !otomegames@ani.social, I prefer threaded discussion to microblogging, especially because threaded discussion allows more characters per post. But I figure if I want to help grow otome on Fedi and show there are interested gamers here, maybe attract some otome players to post here instead of r/otomegames, maybe I should go where there are people. (And try to get them to post on !otomegames@ani.social!) I love r/otomegames, nice bunch of people, no hate, it is just… well… on Reddit. I came to Fedi to get off of Reddit. I applied on https://mstdn.games and am waiting for approval.

Still very grateful for the one person who is not me who makes posts on !otomegames@ani.social, they have their own communities that are pretty cool too! Check out theirs at !renpy@discuss.tchncs.de

Was reading this, then got busy. Glad to be reminded this existed!

Given they only drew her head… feels like Sakuya trolling a Remilia yukkuri.

Could also be a modern redesign. I like the artstyle!

If the artist originally uploaded this to misskey… glad to see more creators of content on the Fediverse. Especially one whose artstyle I like a lot!

I like to promote topic-specific instances so also !anime@ani.social

I also really enjoy the artstyle! Glad to see a S2 come out, wonder if it’ll follow the manga or not

Getting this comic’s vibes

Yeah, I can see possibilities for those two types of communities to get into fights with each other and it makes me happy when we just coexist. Although I admit it is also at least partially because right now we are super tiny.
