I like that he's explaining the lore behind this game and references some characters but doesn't even touch the concept on what a Touhou fangame is. I guess they expect that people either know or don't watch this if they don't (I think the original is somekinda shmup)

Hitting a million before the weekend was unheard of until last year, we're constantly in new uncharted territory

SGDQ 2019 had a incredible boost just during the final run alone.

I think it's like IWTBTG fangames where the people in this micro-niche genre only know these characters and probably don't touch normal games.

Oh I just noticed we hit 1 million overnight! Which run was it? I'm planning to watch Subnautica, Gato Roboto, and Fancy Pants adventures, anything else I need to check out post Bioshock

It was during the Destiny 2 raid.

The quality of runs in this event so far from what I've seen has been really high. Most have been quite interesting, even on off-hours.

Agreed. I'm not even interested in the current game but the commentary was spot-on enough that I had to remind myself to stop and check out yesterday night's block.

Ok, thanks for the clarity about the donation totals. It does feel like this is going to be a very heavy backend w/r/t game donations starting very shortly. VVVVVV & Celeste & PACMAN & Pokemon & Mega Man & TASBot & Zelda & SM64 & SMW et al

It's gonna hit $4m isn't it?

I'm just trying to go through life without looking stupid.

It's not working out too well...
Touhou is one of those franchises that seems to have tons of fan content (games and otherwise).

Is there any real starting point for Touhou? I'd would think the original schmup games, but I'm not the biggest shmup fan. I think I remember saving this game to my wishlist on Steam, but it looks like it's pretty difficult.

If you are catching VODs right now, be sure to come back for the next run because VVVVVV is a kickass game with one of the most kickass soundtracks of the 2010's.
