I already did a few months ago and realized NFTs are POGs.

I remember when ZUN himself explained UM was about him missing old fashioned town markets because of Covid essentially killing physical marketplaces, which people's overinterpretations of the plot feel pretty ridiculous in retrospect.

Yes, but the game still includes popular fad objects produced through dangerous and likely bad for the environment mining operations that have no inherent value at all and can only be purchased with fake-rear end economic clout rather than actual money or trade. Even if the game wasn't intentionally about NFTs or Crypto, it kind of was anyway.

Oh sure I'm not denying that, I just think it's funny none of people's interpretations could have predicted ZUN was just feeling sorta nostalgic/sad.

The fact that the Point Item value in UM is tied directly to how much money you have is pretty on the nose, too. And while Chimata is supposed to be the god of Comiket/open markets she's not exactly characterized as a great person. She has a tremendous sense of self-importance and an almost naivety about how people actually view and treat markets, which comes through again in the story blurb for 18.5. She's almost like an actually earnest libertarian?? I think UM came out a little too early to really be about NFTs but I don't think it's just about ZUN missing Comiket.

ZUN has become so powerful a satirist that his work is commentary on poo poo that happens at the precise moment he publishes.

ZUN can’t even see the past, hence three Touhou games in a row getting counterstopped

I was having a good time with 18.5 until the red spirit wave on stage 3 happened and the very first spirit spawned on the lower middle part of the screen i was in so its bad actually

So i've been playing a lot of 18.5 (steam says 6.5 hours but it feels like longer) and I think I just have to call it quits. Stage 4 is just too much for me, even with a bunch of cards and I have noticed myself improving. I have a number of problems with the game, and looking at various other play throughs it seems I'm not alone: -Kind of part & parcel with the genre, I suppose, but a lot of cards just aren't especially great OR have a cost issue that makes them difficult to actually use. There are seven million shot type cards but the boost you get out of them (unless you already HAVE your "base kit" ready to go) is kind of all over the place. I have not once ever thought "oh yeah Yukari's gap, gotta have that". The geta are a death trap. Getting mroe than one action card is a nightmare (this might be a personal thing) -Ghost patterns are loving awful. The ghosts last too long, their bullets almost always home and if they dont home then the Ghosts absolutely do. It's just barf, all over the screen. -Yes stage 4-on starts merging ghost patterns with other, more mangable patterns, why do you ask -The boss situation is really annoying. The patterns usually aren't terrible, per say, but they have a lot of health and even when you have various power ups it just feels like it takes a while to get through them (presumably the latter influenced the former). I miss bombs -Card collection is hampered by this. If you just get in a rut of bad runs you're not getting new cards, period, because beating bosses is the ONLY way to get ANY cards. And sometimes you need a specific boss to show up, which you just don't get. -Related to that, but the way the game draws cards is that every boss has one associated with them (which is replaced by the Nazrin Funds card so you always bring home some money if you get duds) and then 2 cards not related. So you're really only rolling 2 cards per run, and if the game rolls one you already have it just...doesn't roll another one. Its just blank. So it sucks when you roll bad at the end of a long stage and get nothing for your troubles. -More than anything though, my problem lands on the way it handles the stage patterns. I already mentioned the ghosts, but even looking ahead there's some REAL bad patterns. But the real kicker is they are so long and there's NOTHING you get to relieve this. There's patterns that last 20 but a lot that last 30 or 40. It's an eternity, especially if you're bad (either in the genre in general general, like I am, or just with that specific kind of pattern). But having seen people who are good at the game, it sucks for them too because they're just going through the often motions for a long time and still likely to gently caress up. In a normal touhou, if you're in trouble or suck or whatever with a specific portion of a stage you can usually rely on the fact that it's going to be over in a few seconds or you can drop a bomb or hell even dying can sometimes get you through it. Or you can more easily kill a specific enemy and not worry about it (depends on the stage, the game, etc). But there's nothing yo ucan do about that here. Sit through 30 seconds of Obi Going Home, as the screen crowds with Obi and they start sending a ton of blue shots that aren't clear at all when they start aiming for you and hope you can get through the gaps they make (using the magic circle both advised and NOT advised so have fun figuring out which is which) And also, deal with up to 7 waves. Then the boss. Good grief. -I feel like quite a number of patterns aren't very good for generating bullet money, also. That's again probably by design (its a roguelike! sometimes you get bad runs) but I look at the later game patterns and just wonder how on earth you're supposed to find time to collect anything without dying. I saw several folks just spam the nazrin bullet money card for a few waves because hell, what else could you really do? There are some cards to help with this but this goes back to the issue of card collection, the fact you dont necessarily know unless you look it up where those cards can drop, the fact that they can be reliant on getting past the area you're having trouble with to begin wtih and/or having them show up in the bullet money shop and the fact that the cards in question number to about 3: -Doremy (can't equip) can show up in the stage 1/2 card pool which is nice. It instantly ends the stage when you buy it, and you still get a card. but you can't pick the card, and obviously Doremy showing up is RNG. Card's a little expensive too, so if it does show up maybe you got a bad bullet wave. Or it shows up and you just get the Nazrin Money card. Rip. -Junko's card is equipable and instantly sends you to the boss. I think this shows up in Market 4, but I'm not sure if it can show up earlier. I haven't seen it. I think this is one of those cards that can't show up in the bullet money shop until you've "earned" it anyway. -Shion's card is also equipable and forces every wave to be Easy. No clue where this shows up. Doesn't effect bosses, which is fair. I have some other quibbles but those are more on a personal level, like freezing up and not going through designated gaps, or second guessing my arrow keys or my eyes not following patterns properly. Like Kodaka's spell card is objectively not that hard, just long, but my eyes just sort of lock up away from me; that's not the game's fault. It's a shame because when you start getting card slots and more cards to play with, and you roll some decent patterns, it can be fun but so often I just run into frustration. Especially on stage 3. With its million ghosts. Also shooting red tiny bullets on a red background? Bad. I actually dabbled with trying to cheat or mod the game into just having a bunch of lives so I could just gently caress around with the weirder cards but that didn't pan out

Junko's card definitely shows up before stage 4 iirc.
