I'm partial towards About a Girl (the original version on Bleach) myself.

Imipolex G · 2014-01-23 03:06:07

that's a good one too

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 03:08:27

i don't know if i've ever heard Sliver

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 03:09:11

what about Lithium? i like that one

Imipolex G · 2014-01-23 03:11:25

Lithium's all right but it falls into the "way overplayed" category

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-01-23 03:13:05

"Something in the Way" is pretty eerie, as is their take on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?".

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 03:15:19

i guess my preferences are for overplayed songs... >_>

in my defence, i don't listen to the radio that often, and when i do it's usually more contemporary music, like on Radio 1

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 03:29:53

soonish.

Imipolex G · 2014-01-23 03:31:51

the rain factory

where they make rain

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 03:33:49

indeed.

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2014-01-23 03:59:10

If you want to read text in Touhou, you have to use the unofficial English patches. There are no official English translations and there never will be. The Japanese text in Touhou is too nuanced for any English translation to do it justice, hence the extensive footnotes in the translations on the wiki. I personally recommend the English patches.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:01:51

Miko pls

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:03:41

i have no idea what that means

assume i am an idiot but i want to play a Touhou game

preferably having bought it from an official source that won't give my computer a virus

what do i do?

buy the game, download the patch, use the patch, play the game in English.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:07:51

i was gonna be all 'how i do that?'

but i can do this, i am not actually an idiot

i will figure it out

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-01-23 04:09:34

I am going to watch the first season of Adventure Time again on Netflix. I think that doing this will make me less crushingly miserable.

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-01-23 04:10:33

I shall also watch some of Avatar: The Last Airbender, because I haven't watched that show in ages and it was really fun.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:10:34

aww :(

i hope you have fun

Sredni Vashtar · 2014-01-23 04:10:58

I will. Thank you.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:12:00

I am listening to A1A era Jimmy Buffett, because I prefer to wallow in my misery some nights.

Also I'm getting weird pains again, fun.

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:24:28

aughhhghhgh

Anonus · 2014-01-23 04:27:46

weird pains?

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:28:58

I just realized I forgot to take out the trash.

*sigh*

Anonus said:

I have acid reflux syndrome.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:29:13

*hugs the mo*

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:30:43

Thank you.

Is anyone available for chatting about nothing?

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:31:39

so if i'm understanding stuff right, EoSD is not commercially available as a download

is this correct?

the only vendors i can find ship physical copies

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:31:51

i am posting my desktop again

fear it

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:32:08

i have nothing to say but if you want to talk, sure

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:32:30

that's a fearsome desktop

many doujin vendors do not sell digital copies or export for a variety of economic or ethical reasons, ZUN is one of these.

So yeah you literally have to order it and have it shipped if you want to buy it.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:33:54

hm

it seems i am not going to play it today, then

i will get it later

Imipolex G · 2014-01-23 04:34:33

EoSD is a brutal game

I barely beat it on easy mode

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:35:17

you could just pirate it and buy it later.

But w/e.

also EoSD is one of the harder Touhou games and the series is not super callback-heavy, so you might want to start with one of the easier ones.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:35:39

that's why i have never bought it before now

but i figure i should at least have a go

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:37:48

EoSD will completely destroy me, but it seemed like a logical place to start

also it has characters and music that i like

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 04:41:05

listening to a Damien Juardo album out of idle curiosity. The review made it sound interesting.

*shrug*

Miko would know more than I would, I don't actually play the games very often. I love the characters and worldbuilding, and the visuals (character portraits aside) and music are excellent, but I only enjoy the games in bursts. Shmups are not my thing.

Anonus · 2014-01-23 04:43:44

I'm sorry, Queen...

I feel weird

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 04:45:18

weird how, if it's ok to ask?

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:02:13

so random question

i recently got a Toy Story box set on DVD

inside is a sticker that asks 'why not buy the Toy Story 3 Blu-Ray and DVD double play pack?'

is that a thing people would actually do? buy two copies of the same movie in different formats?

a movie that they already have on DVD since it came in a box set?

Anonus · 2014-01-23 05:06:19

A lot of movies come in double DVD/Blu-ray packs...

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 05:06:37

I've never heard of anyone doing it.

Collectors maybe would.

I found this on my Facebook wall, I don't get it but it's cute

with that. I bid the heap goodnight.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:07:29

^^ bizarre

i don't even have blu-ray

my laptop can play dvds so i just use that

sleep well, mo

Salix Babylonika · 2014-01-23 05:08:35

for some reason my mind goes to "Blu-Ray is shit! :D and Betamax"

so yeah

I really do need to get to bed if my mind is usurping nohayisms, it means it's too tired to come up with any humor on its own.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:09:08

pfft

Anonus · 2014-01-23 05:10:22

Blu-ray and Betamax were created by Sony...

Anyway, don't tell Ray Glasser that Betamax is shit

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:21:01

if anything, Betamax is a classic example of a valuable core product wrecked by poor marketing decisions

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:25:24

ok yes, 'Blew' is an awesome song

i had forgotten how good it was

thenamelesssamurai · 2014-01-23 05:35:21

Bluh, can't sleep. I want to play my PS3, but I'd have to play it in the garage and it's freaking cold down there.

Tachyon · 2014-01-23 05:36:25

how cold?

thenamelesssamurai · 2014-01-23 05:44:15

Cold enough that I still feel it even with two sweaters and a jacket on and a pair of long johns on under my pants.
