I don't think it fits very well into the setting though. It's hard to fit "magic is quietly fading away into the dark corners of the world" with "NASA fights space bunnies on the moon!"

It's fading because of agencies like NASA selflessly defending Earth from the machinations of the supernatural, duh :c00lbert:

Threw it into google translate and it sounds like life pieces are thing in legacy mode. Also, a limit on how many times you can gently caress up in pointdevice mode which kinda defeats the purpose? I don't know, hopefully someone who knows how to read Japanese will be cool and make sense of it for us.

edit: apparently this is for the web demo which I thought was a thing already but I guess was not.

It's fairly impressive directinput doesn't work correctly and turning off dinput in the custom.exe doesn't work correctly. I don't know what your specific problem is but the way I jury rigged it is I mapped the dinput keys in the game menu to ones I wasn't using on my controller and used xpadder for the buttons I was using

It's the opposite, if I'm reading it right - he put a limit on the amount that your Power can fall from miss penalties in Pointdevice mode, not on the number of times you're allowed to miss.

Reimu is actually doing her job, what the hell.

Also, by "other side" Kosuzu meant that she wanted to go to the outside world, right? That's a pretty interesting thing to explore, especially since Kasen's got similar ideas as well. I wonder if there will ever be any connection between the two comics.

That or the spirit world.

To be fair to Kosuzu, if she popped in at what I am presuming is a time of heightened Japanese nationalism (Extrapolating from current trends), her outfit's not going to catch much attention.

I doubt it. "Other side" sounds incredibly metaphorical to me, and as far as I know the Hakurei Barrier has never been referred to like that (they would normally say "go outside"). Not to mention that Kosuzu's never really shown all that much interest in the Outside World, other than that time when she realized that there are squirrels who drink alcohol. I took it to mean "the youkai/supernatural side" which has been the subject of the previous two arcs. And Kosuzu becoming a youkai has been the main theme of the entire comic.

Chapter just came out so i guess i'll keep my comments spoilered.

Great chapter, it managed to tie in to the events of ULiL reasonably well while also building on the overall themes of the story and advancing Kosuzu's arc significantly. We've always known that she's had an interest in youkai and such considering the whole youma book thing, and there's been lots of times she brushed with the supernatural and come away not only not scared, but even more interested than before. Now she's gone as far as wondering if she can "go to that side" herself, and considering how her ability has gotten stronger lately, it's looking like that might just happen.

Yeah, that makes more sense. The term kinda confused me when I first read it. I initially thought it referred to the netherowlrd or something since the Ouja board is used by spirits but I couldn't think of any reason for Kosuzu to want to go see some ghosts. But I suppose that after seeing Reimu show-off she'd get even more interested then she already is with this supernatural junk. Kosuzu has some poor role-models.

On a side note, as someone who grew up in Georgia, I am tickled by Rinnosuke's intermittent fixation on Coca-Cola.

You know how in the west we have the phrase "man on the moon" because of the shape on the moon. in japan it is not a man, it is a,rabbit.

I was actually making a reference to the weird narration from Coleman Francis' Beast of Yucca Flats.

I sorta figured the Japanese saw a rabbit on the moon given how often the moon-rabbit connection shows up in their mythology, but thanks for the confirmation.

I know my phrasing was ambiguous, but technically Yuuka's never used Master Spark because spellcards didn't exist in the PC-98 games. She just had an unnamed giant laser.

Man if mushrooms, potions, wearing a conical hat and flying with a broom aren't witch things then I don't know what a witch is.
