Touhou

Well, etymologically it comes from "wife", but in practice I find it a lot close to "whine", as that what tends to happen if anyone breaks some arbitrary rule someone has about his waifu, which inevitable happens due to the arbitrariness of said rules and the inherent capability of people to have opinions that for some mysterious reason don't always match up.

Hey. So, I tried to play TH 14, but the game crashes whenever it tries to open. I figure it has something to do with a missing graphics setting or driver or something. What programs do I need to have on my computer for it to run.

• Windows Vista/7/8
• 256MB+ of VRAM
• DirectSound
• Direct X 9.0c (June 2010)

Are you trying to run it in Fullscreen? My version won't run unless I run in windowed mode. You can change that setting by running custom.exe (It might not be called that if you don't have the Playism version).

No, it breaks in windowed.

So you meet the requirements, then?

I recall something about having to change the name of the folder it's in, though I don't remember which game that was or if it was even the full release

Oh, and there's an official patch for the game that I assume fixes something

I'll need to check the req's later.

Doujin time

Last Minute Speculation (mostly baseless):

LoLK appears to take greatest influence from IN and the PC-98 series, so most of my speculation comes from how they flow.

Stage 4 would be a brawl between the protagonists.

Stage 6 could be a genderswapped Hoori (doubtful, would be a repeat of Miko), or Tamatori-hime as they were prominent wielders of the Tide Jewels. Tamatori in particular has indirect connections to Mokou via her father. So it's possible ZUN may include her as a reference to Mokou. Tamatori-hime also embedded the Tide Jewel within herself, so she is essentially the Tide Jewel in question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide_jewels

Extra Stage would be in the Dream World, with EX-Doremy as a stage boss and the Watatsuki sisters as the Extra Bosses, paralleling IN and LLS.

EDIT: This week's Wa HH has Sumrieko in it. So here's a nice picture of Azumaya's Sumireko◊

I sort of which that the final boss is Chang'e to get a Chekhov's Gunman.

Your speculation is really good. Congratulations!

This one strikes me as really unlikely— The story has all the protagonists working together. And the screenshots show someone with yin-yang orbs but a spellcard that doesn't fit Reimu's style. More likely to be characters similar to the protagonists

Plausible! Verging on probable, even

Eh, this one strikes me as two reasonable ideas jammed together

Oh Man! As usual, I had completely forgotten when Comiket was! It's right now? (Probably at night again, so I'll miss everything live ) So excitiiiing!

Man, even Steam is gettin' in on the Comiket Action, havin' a Sale for Japanese Indie Titles. ...man Yes, there are some in there that I heard were good, but also a lot of trash. That Touhou still isn't in there, and probably never will be, is really sad to me.

Woooooooooo! Man, it's been a loooooong time since the last WAAAGGHHH!!!!

Speaking of WAAGGGHHH!!.... (*checks the Wiki*) Oh, chapter 26 is now perfected by Alpha Beta Clarste! I must have missed that when it was said in the thread, I didn't have that yet! Also yay!

Wait, Comiket's going right now? Holy shit that means the Last Occultism remixes are going to be flooding You Tube soon enough...Lets see what they can do with that.

Couple days yet

Your fault for living on the wrong side of the world

Comiket's over the weekend, starting on Friday and going through Saturday. Of course, that's Japan time so it'll happen up to a day earlier for everyone else. Touhou stuff goes on sale on the first day.

Welp, I'll prepare the inevitable Lunarian bunkers.

The plus side of living in Australia is that Japan is in the timezone right next to us. It's gonna be interesting catching up on all of the new LoLK info live.

This makes for my fifth new Touhou game to get hyped about since joining the fandom.

I don't think being close to Japan time is actually a perk since it takes place in the middle of the day when you might be at work or whatever. It's pretty convenient when the news starts flooding in during the evening.

Back on the subject of tide jewels, Toyotamahime is a dragon. Just saying

Isn't Touhou Toyotamahime just the older Watatsuki sister?

Toyohime derives her name from her, but not a whole lot else

The beauty of this is that while the P Cs might 'beat' the Watatsuki sisters... it could quite literally be in their dreams. So the Watatsukis keep their unbeatable status... or don't, depending on semantics and what way each player wants to interpret it.

Also, I can see the Watatsukis beginning to patrol (or at least explore) the dreamworld to seal off entrances to the Lunar Capital once they learned how the protagonists got there, so it'd make sense for them to be there.

She also shares her relation to Omoikane.
