Well Acanthus made a Touhou thread in other games too. So I guess that one is free to use. Though honestly I think it should be a GD thread because of the focus on other works too. Like the music and comics and things.

Yeah, that makes sense.  I think it'd also cut down on a large amount (?) of the shitposting in the Happy thread.  I like Touhou, too, but I feel like there's been a lot of off-topic discussion in that vein over there, so maybe its own thread in GD would help.

Not starting it, though, because it seems like the sort of thing I'd lurk.  I'll leave that to someone else.

It would seem my graphics card may be on its way out.  :'(

Both of my previous dead graphics cards screwed up everything on the screen, so there may be hope. Does it do that with every graphical program?

I would be immensely pleased if we could contain all the loltouhou's in a dedicated touhou thread.

Is it still a lol if its ontopic?
Dedicated topics are still good, though.

God this irc stuff is so I don't know. I can't handle it.

I think I'm gonna stay on here too, in addition to the other forum. I mean they're cool guys but the IRC scene is not my scene.

Most of you guys are cool too, whatever they say.

Honestly even a Touhou topic should have no Tohoulolol. I'd like to think we can discuss it in a way that doesn't make us look like a bunch of weirdos.

It's mostly the sporadic nature of it. As if someone attached a DF cat pressure-plate random number generator setup to decide whether it will bug out at any given moment. Scrolling down a web page, for example, parts of it may corrupt like that while others are fine, the whole thing might corrupt, the act of scrolling itself will typically clear the previous artifacts or generate new ones. Sometimes it just randomly cuts all output to the screen (as in no input detected by the monitor), graphics driver will crash and (usually) recover quite frequently, in the process affecting the entire screen. I did a clean install of graphics drivers this afternoon to no avail, so it's a hardware problem somewhere.

September of 08 or 09. nvidia 9800gtx+ is the model of it; got it when the nvidia's 280's were top of the line and 9800's were second (at least as far as nvidia cards).

Also, its a dozen pretty-looking scrolling shooters filled with nothing but girls, but for a single exception. Even trying to describe it starts sounding weird quickly.

I think I had something similar that died while playing Minecraft.

If you can't manage a fix and you get a new one try baking it in an oven. It apparently sometimes works.

It actually is a dozen now.
The first game is Danmaku Arkanoid.
Which means no flying, which means no scrolling.
