It's like a fireworks display being sick.

"Its a side scroller shooter"
And leave it at that.

>>8164845
Doesn't "side scroller" imply horizontal?

I'm not good with video game genres ;_;

...a indie videogame series with lots of characters,
mostly cute girls. the particularity is that fans built a heap of backstories and stuff.
how is this?

It's too deep for you. If you're intimidated by Lunatic instead of excited for it, go back to your shitty little Angry Birds and MW3.

"It's like standing in the rain without getting wet."

"It's like one of those old arcade shooters, wanna see?"

"Holy shit, that's cool!"

>indie instead of doujin

Get out you dirty hipster.

All these bullets come at you and you have to dodge them.

Actual conversation with a normal, more or less:
>It's a danmaku, a Japanese vertical shooter
>What?
>Like one of those old arcade games
>Like Contra and stuff?
>Yeah, like that
>Oh shit dude, I love those games. I play (random 360 game) like that
I download Ten Desires for him
>Here, check this out
>The Touhou universe also has a huge fan base that creates tons of content, music, doujins, etc
>Yeah, this is cool
>I've never understood the appeal of anime girls though
>It's an acquired taste

>acquired

No it isn't. How is a taste for cute things acquired?

>>8164914
You don't have to speak to them like they're fucking children. 0.2 seconds later they'll ask you "what does doujinshi mean?" at which point you can tell them. IF they still don't understand they're a goddamn retard. IF they say "lol, why didn't you just say INUDEE" they're a huge faggot just like you, and the two of you should get along wonderfully.

>>8164920
How would you explain shortly what doujin means ?

>>8164923
Fan created story/comic

>>8164918
To the normal mind, I have come to understand such things are considered "gay" or possibility "immature"

Saying it was an acquired taste was a subtle way to save face instead of saying "I like cute girls doing cute things" which in normal speak would translate to "I am a faggot and a virgin please don't social with me"

>>8164933
>socialize

>>8164933
For me it's more of little girls shooting cute things. Seriously those danmaku are so cute.

Flying girls in frilly dresses and silly hats shoot magic bullets at each other. Afterwords, tea is served.

Touhou is Japanese Tetris.

>>8164923
Independently made.
Please don't say "hurr just say indie then", Since it's actually quite important to know the word if you actually end up caring about this scene.

Excellent Japanese-style shoot 'em up with very interesting visual elements and music. Difficulty can go up to 11 too if you are into that. Highly recommended.

It's up to them to read "Japanese-style" as "absolutely weird" or "very different and creative"

An internet meme.

This is a real conversation with some faggots the first day at college, whom I didn't want to speak again with. I sat in front of my computer and loaded UFO from my USB flash drive. Began playing in lunatic. Some of the social animals came and asked what were I doing. I told them I was playing shoot'em ups. Next moment I got to Kogasa, and a guy said "that's a weird sprite". Next second I told them that it was of japanese origin and that I love anime, manga and any form of japanese media, and that I was interested in touhou because it only had female characters and half of them were little girls. They got all awkward and left as quickly as possible. I've been excluded from social relations since then, situation which I'm thankful of.

>>8165016
You sure showed them, bro.

>>8165016
>I love anime, manga and any form of japanese media
1/10 because you made me read.

>>8165016
Wow. You really played the "I'm a faggot weeaboo" card really well. I should try that out some time. I generally hide that type of thing.

>>8165016
>am a faggot and a virgin please don't socialize with me

Obviously >>8165016 was a faggot, but how would _you_ have handled that situation, /jp/?
