Resurfacing on Twitter briefly to say that #touhoufest 2023 was an incredible time.
I am a huge proponent of old-style community-specific forums, so I posted an in-depth commentary on the ShrineMaiden forums: https://shrinemaiden.com/index.php?topic=439.new…
Hope to go again next year!
Before I go to bed early I want to give a shout out to that one Chen who was honking the bicycle horn the entirety of touhoudest and making it an iconic background noise for the whole event
it was a bit much at times but it was still adorable and I'm glad that Chen was as there
PSA: Don't deactivate your Twitter account. Park it and lock it. Impersonation *is* on your list of threats - I've had my old account from 2010-2017 be automatically registered by a pro-Trump bot on the *day* the username expired (30 days after deactivation). It causes headaches.
If you don't know what that is, it's basically Twitter, but instead of controlled by one company, everyone picks the server they want to join, similar to email. And like email, regardless of which server you join, everyone can talk with each other.
@taterposting Steals Your Mana (Modern Tiny Potato) is approved! Took a while, but I hope it's worth the wait.

3. Botania is close to done for 1.17, will come out on Fabric first because when we first started working on 1.17, Forge wasn't ready yet. Forge will come ASAP afterward.
4. I solemnly swear I will get to Patchouli Forge 1.17 soon after having promised it for a month already.
Once per year Twitter update ig:
1. I'm alive and well
2. Cutting Twitter out has been a net good thing for me (tm). Might write about this. Tech friends find me on irc (esper or libera) if you need me urgently, irl friends use FB messenger. As always, long thoughts on my blog.
Strongly contemplating getting rid of Twitter for good. IRL friends should stay up to date with me on Facebook, modding friends stay up to date on http://discord.gg/vazkii
Additionally, my website https://vincent-lee.net is also a place I'll post long-form thoughts.
In my opinion, Fabric, because it is closer to vanilla. Additionally, servers need the jellysquid optimization mods to run properly. The Patron server is running at 45 mspt right now with just Quark and Botania and Rats.
Everybody who wishes harm to anybody who got Covid needs to check their morals.
Even for Trump or his people, compassion and empathy is the right call.
I know it is tempting, but be the better person.

Also Barrage Musical: A Fantasy of Tempest, but that's a touhou-clone not a touhou fangame. Still very good though.
Instead of getting upset that some modders are using their platforms to advocate for a cause they believe in (democracy) - why not instead ask yourself why you're more concerned about having to hit escape as a game loads than about the erosion of democracy in the US.
Subtitles aren't just for deaf people. Lots of my hearing friends use them, too. If you're hearing and find yourself using subtitles on Netflix and TV and would quite like them at the cinema, please retweet to help normalise their presence! Big thanks #DeafAwarenessWeek
