A lot of mathematicians/programmers get into Touhou, it's probably in their DNA.
From what I've seen, a lot of mathematicians/programmers get into anime stuff in general, so it's not surprising :P

Thank you ^_^ I'm still new to Touhou, so I might not be able to contribute that much, but I'll try to be active regardless

« Last post by moons1de_ on November 20, 2023, 04:50:57 PM »Besides video game soundtracks, I don't really listen to a lot of music from bands but i'll listen to them occasionally. I used to be really into thrash metal but I got bored of it I guess. The only western styled music I've listened to recently has to be Lemon Demon and Tally Hall, but other than that nothing much. I like Yoeko Kurahashi's music a lot too, but I can't find the specific songs I like from her on YouTube sadly.
Some of the songs I listen to from said artists:
Tally Hall

« Last post by degradingwindow on November 20, 2023, 03:58:08 PM »Hello! Call me Ale or Nish, either is fine. 18, he/him, going into 1st year of uni next year.
For a long time I had a very rough idea of what Touhou was ("that bullet hell game based on Shinto"), and I had been exposed to a lot of Touhou content on the internet, sometimes without realizing (there have been multiple occasions while playing the games where I go, "Hey, I've heard this song before"). However, I only became a fan about a month ago.
I'm part of the Googology community, an amateur mathematics community dedicated to set theory and large numbers; Touhou is really popular in the Japanese side of that community, theming large number contests and even a Googology-based manga around Touhou. I don't speak Japanese, but at the time I had a lot of interest in googology works from the Japanese side of the community (using machine translation to understand them), and that led to a curiosity about Touhou; eventually I decided to try EoSD, and I fell in love with the series.
Since early this year, I've been avoiding social media and algorithmic content: I stopped using YouTube, Twitter and Reddit, accessing them through frontends that remove/have an option to remove algorithms (e.g Nitter and Piped), and only use Discord very sparingly if I have no other option to communicate with someone. The sheer amount of ways in which these sites try to optimize themselves for engagement through A/B testing and psychological manipulation, even to the point of silently breaking some of their basic features, is really disturbing to me (not to mention unhealthy for everyone), and I've sought to regain that control through frontends; but I haven't really experimented much with other forms of social media, so it'll be interesting to try talking on forums for the first time since I was a child
With that said, nice to meet you all, and I hope we can get along ^_^
Welcome
A lot of mathematicians/programmers get into Touhou, it's probably in their DNA.
I'm glad to see that other people are starting to see forums less as a relic of the past and more of an alternative to the modern social media atmosphere. For example in China, forums aren't as dead as they are in the west (maybe it's because of their lack of social media, but that's just another can of worms I don't want to get into). So to me forums aren't dead, they're simply dormant for the time being. Don't shy away from starting a topic or responding to a post, I'd love to see other's opinions on the topics posted here.

Maybe DbU counts too. I'm probably forgetting something. Either way, explore the above on Youtube, they're all worthy of your attention.
