So here's a little poll i decided to make

If you discovered it before the boom you deserve a veterans discount

I think I first played a few touhou games and saw youtube stuff around 2012-2014 but I didn't do much else until around fall 2019 (man three and a half years ago)
so I'll say 2017-2019

i think i'm barely on the border of 2016 and 2017, but i kinda forget so i'll go with 2017
basically ancient times by this point
old aeon saw hsifs release in real time

the prehistoric days before green nitori and blue aya and orange yukari...

[vance08]

Those were the days.....
Y'know, the games before UFO have a somewhat of a unique charm, like i don't know maybe it's because the character portraits were more detailed and reminiscient of early 2000's anime. They make me feel nostalgic for a time i didn't even experience lol

[spongelevator]

personally I like to split it into eras or groups or whatever
1-5 and then 6 then 7-9 then 10-13 then 14 and on
EoSD and DiPP specifically have a kinda nostalgic old feeling to them to me maybe because of the oranges and reds or the kinda "japanese perception of western clothing/music/whatever" or something I dunno
7-9 feels like the development of new ideas and concepts both in the games and the books/manga/cds then 10-13 is when game finally decides what it's trying to do and you get all the religious wars and stuff

I dunno a whole lot about the stuff past 13 both because I made like two attempts to play all of those and also because there has been one (1) artbook released past ten desires but yeah I get it I get it them olds have something to them

Exactly
