  • A day later, unlike last time, the protests seem to be peaceful, though at two different landmarks down Metro Manila. Around 30,000-50,000 participating, according to the organizers.

  • What's your favourite menu music in a game?

    Jump

  • While the Windows-era Touhou mainline games have their own share of calm and energetic menu themes, the one that sticks out the most for me goes to Imperishable Night. It's iconic for a good reason.

  • appears to be a fannish remake of the PC-98-only versus STG Touhou Yumeijikū ~ Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, for modern computer systems, released around 2017, though it's a bit jank on the gameplay side of things. Caught wind of it from a couple Jaimers vids on this a while back.

  • Music Monday - what have you been listening to?

    Jump

  • Angelstar by lexycat, from her 2024 album "Dark Blossom", which in itself is far more sincere yet experimental enough for most mainstream tastes.

    Having that song on the last-ever story update for vivid/stasis last weekend is quite the liberating, this-really-is-the-end-of-all rhythm gaming experience.

  • Good luck admins! And if you're fresh from Reddit, welcome!

    Jump

  • @NotLemming@lemm.ee Do you like reading, or even marvel at libraries and stuff? The last time I checked literature.cafe, the atmosphere (as well as the instance (I call it "online raft", for one) mods there) seems to be typical of a small town library. It also has comms for fanfics in general, and genre-specific ones.

    I bet there's also even-smaller fedi-rafts out there that cater to a specific creative interest/hobby, or an entire fandom; time and effort will tell.

  • Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia. Sort of a recent fangame title, by today's standards, but if you're looking for some cool mid-to-late-1990s-inspired PC dungeoneering action (Shin Megami Tensei being a heavy inspiration), it's currently at ninety-two percent off.

  • Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?

    Jump

  • Touhou 8: Imperishable Night.

    I earned my first-ever 1CC there three days ago, on the Easy difficulty (ignoring the perennial "easy modo" memes within the games' fandom), and slowly but surely, I'm learning both the fundamentals and the strategies towards passing various stages and spellcard patterns; hopefully, with enough practice, patience, and a bit of foresight, I can move up and do another 1CC on Mormal (both Finales), either with the Border or Netherworld team.

    As for everything else, I found myself enthralled with the lore, story, and the music in this game, as if it were timeless, in a way. I'd say I like Eirin's boss theme the most, befitting for someone who's lived through time and knows everything diligently.

  • Always proud to be here, since the momentous mod and API protest days at the orangered site, but we still have work to be done, including fostering discussion and quality fannish content beyond the bounds of the Western part of our globe.

    Oh yeah, we are indeed in a sort of calm-before-a-storm moment regarding the Internet itself, as if the proverbial storm, as Emperor pointed out, is now big tech companies and their corporate cohorts, against a cache of genuine humanity at hand.

  • Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of September 16th, 2024

    Jump

  • Still on Touhou 8 (Imperishable Night), and then, vivid/statis, of which its latest tournament quarterfinals tiebreaker just came out and I was far no less impressed with how I managed to almost teeter on gaining any Fails on the Middle Chart, just a few Goods, due to my laptop sometimes overloading on RAM while the application's running.

    As for the former, I've been taking small steps on figuring out routes for Keine's second spell card attack on Normal Difficulty; on Easy, my new run-ender's on Reisen's second spell card attack, where shotgun bullets fade in and out whenever those blood red eyes periodically flash.

  • What is your main compressor plugin and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • For what it essentially entails, Analog Obsession's busterSE does quite a bangin' job at being a analog-style stereo compressor, with the ability to tilt whatever part of the frequency spectrum you wanna have spread out, in spite of its limitations on the surface. Kicks, snares, pads, even the entire mix, you name it.

    Of second, yet equal, mention, is ChowDSP's Chow Tape Model. which I've found so far to be both versatile and not that CPU-hungry. not only at those tape-esque warm flavors, but also at aiding modern, multigenre music compositions. I use them both, or either one of them, depending on the situation, and both are forever free high-quality.

  • What DAW are you using?

    Jump

  • Although not traditionally a DAW, OpenMPT's currently my main (especially when I use VSTs and soundfonts alongside pure samples for audio rendering duties. Caustic 3, though, that was my first proper DAW, and taught me some basic and advanced techniques in music production, in a fairly-accessible, yet deep-rooted audio-visual interface.

  • [Recommendation] Renowned Explorers: International Society

    Jump

  • Now that sort of piques my exploration juice, especially with roguelikes/roguelites that have extensive, deep-enough systems and lands to dive into, and the bit about resolving fights and incidents with practical real-life measures and techniques common to the usual adventurer, instead of the usual HP- and MP-decreasing system seen in most other games... alright, into my wishlist it goes.

  • Dustforce - Cider Time

    Jump

  • I first encountered this rather soothing ambient-esque theme through, of all things, a particular mashup with "Beach, 7AM" from OXENFREE (the latter composed by scntfc), years ago. Might take a deep listen through its entirety some time.
