I have spent the past week getting my ass beaten by her in a quest to secure another lunatic 1cc.
She is exactly as tuff as she thinks she is.

lunatic podd is pure masochism, hope you get it soon.

back on my PC, first LNBNV is a while
i don't really get rusty in terms of mechanics with touhou but my nerves get set back a lot if i don't do runs for even just a little bit, it's gonna take me a bit to feel comfortable with runs that get far again
this one LNNd from GT to the end which is nice though

I'm playing through Servants of Harvest Wish at the moment. Not sure the game's harder than the standard fare or I got soft from playing ImIm and EIoS before this, but I do feel like I'm getting my balls busted a lot more. I only managed to get a few normal, hard and one extra 1cc in the 17 hours I've dumped so far, though I did spend some of that time messing around trying to discover the hidden spell cards. Pretty fun game. It also has the most unhinged depiction of Sanae I've seen, that was nice.

It is a pretty hard game, I would say in the top 10 at least.

it would help if i played it more than once every other week because every time i put it down i forget how brutal (and sometimes bullshit) it is and it takes a few runs to get used to it again.

she wasn't lying

>>50701505
I actually found it quite easy.
Though if you didn't play the games in order and started with the windows games, I can see how it could be confusing.

>>50708336
I did play the games in order, but my only previous experience with danmaku games was psyvariar and crimzon clover, so that might have contributed to it.
Still, I do still consider it a fairly rough game if you like playing without bombing, as I do.

an alternate reality where each game has rika coming back with a new and improved tank to battle the protagonist.
vhg, what could've been.

Are you using vpatch?

>>50710730
yes

>>50710767
From the screenshots, it looks like you're playing in windowed mode.
You should play in full screen, it decreases the input lag a little bit.

If that doesn't help enough, I suggest trying out the "open input lag patch", it's supposed to work a little better than vpatch.
https://maribelhearn.com/tools?hl=en#oilp
Put it in the game's folder and change "vpatch.exe" to "oilp_loader.exe" in thcrap/config/games.js with notepad to get thcrap to run it.

>you're playing in windowed mode
i've been on fullscreen. i just crop my screenshots
>open input lag patch
tried it and didn't see much of a difference. im happy with this extra clear i got when testing it out though

>>50711612
There's still something weird if your screenshots are 1440p instead of the native 640x480 the game runs at.
Do you have GPU scaling enabled turned on in the driver settings? You could try turning that off.
Ideally, you should be using "integer scaling" if that's available.

cleared pcb hard with everything
>>50714172
i don't see the option there. i'm thinking the input lag could possibly be caused by the x11 window system, which i know has input latency

>>50715198
Oh, if you're on linux that changes things a lot, yeah.
Only thing that comes to mind is running the game through Steam so it uses the Proton compatibility layer.
