When it comes to mainline Touhou games there's not really many I dislike, but for some reason I really can't get myself to enjoy Ten Desires. It's not a bad Touhou game but something about it just makes it hard to enjoy for me.

I remember not liking it too much when I was concentrating purely on survival, but found it way more fun when I started going for score. The last boss in particular is somewhat disappointing, but feels hilarious when you just go full XXC on her and hear the sound of turbocollecting spirits. Some games are just like that, being obviously made for mechanics where you have to consider your survival resources as scoring opportunities rather than safety net.

This is the universe telling you that you have to refill your phone.
If you haven't, do it now before it's too late...

Too bad, I will rather use my allowance to buy a $50 Steam gift card in some local supermarket so I can buy Higurashi Watanagashi than ever waste them on refilling my phone. d:

I had a dream one day about meteorites hitting the Earth, and I had a vision (meaning I can't able to interact people) of being in Japan. There were people in a building and a meteorite destroyed it, killing the civilians. I was able to hear their screams of terror and despair before the meteorite hit the building. Then it cuts of me trying to leave from my apartment so I would not get killed by the meteorites, then I was on the outside and saw kids out too. I told them if they have enough money to call emergency from their phone (because I was a dumb to not re-fill it in my phone); and that's the dream.

Yeah folks, that's really it. It was crazy to be honest and might tell another dream that's in my mind right now.

18 killed my hopes of the series ever getting good again. ZUN threw all his ideas that could've been used for later games into the card system and didn't even bother to balance them. And it's pretty much a gacha, killing all interest in full runs due to RNG. Story and aesthetics-wise it didn't catch my eye at all, not even negatively like 17's. As for music, I want to apologize for bashing 17, since that one at least still HAD a style, whereas 18's is about as generic as it gets.

While there are quite a few older games I don't like playing, I can acknowledge they can be fun with certain mindsets. After 18, all I can do is wonder why anyone even bothers with what's going on with the series anymore.

Oof, that's tragic... So, does it mean you're not going to play any Touhou games after 18, even if you're curious??
