Previous ThreadAhhh! I just realized that the old blogging thread finally hit 1000 posts! I remember when I started that thread three years ago and to see it finally reach that goal fills me with some strange pride. Anyway, as per tradition, here's the new edition of the blogging thread!
So what IS the blogging thread for? Basically you can treat it as your own personal diary of your Touhou endeavors. You can talk about a current goal you're working on, reflect on past goals, talk about future goals, or anything else that's kind of... well... "bloggy".
AKA when you wanna ramble about your Touhou career with long paragraphs (though the post doesn't HAVE to be long) it goes in here!

Uh, so where to start. Currently I've been balancing university and a job, so I haven't had TOO much time for Touhou. But when I have played it I've either been: DDC Scoring, PCB scoring, or continuing my LNN(N) journey.
PCB Scoring: Progress is slow but steady. I recently hit 2.6bil about a few weeks ago. My current route probably allows 3bil but it would require extremely good execution. Top notch grazing, all borders intact, all spell bonuses done right (including Resurrection butterfly). I'm thinking I'll try and take it 100mil at a time until 3bil. Which means 2.7bil is the next goal (though if I get higher I'll most certainly welcome it!)
DDC Scoring: I literally picked this up like 2-3 days ago. Well, I have scored with ReimuA in the past, and started experimenting with SakuyaB, but I'd never actually gone in depth with SakuyaB before. Er... my current route probably allows like 1.9bil with good execution. If I improved it a bit and executed it well, I might even be able to reach 2bil. I think 2bil would be a nice a modest goal for this category and I'll probably stop if I get there (I really don't wanna aim for WR in this category because capping spells with SakuyaB sucks and the execution itself seems painful)
LNN journey: Oh boy! I've got 4 games down, and more to go! MoF was done recently. And let me tell you, it was no easy task! VoWG got me 7 times! Not only that. Dying to things like Aki's final, Hina's final, Nitori's midboss, PWG, Momiji, etc. really made this more painful than it needed to be. But thankfully I did succeed despite the rage! My next target is SA! I already have two 1MNB runs of it, so I'm pretty close. It's definitely in reach but due to the unpredictable nature of LNNs, it could take from a day to a year lol. After that I'll go for IN and UFO. Then if I somehow succeed at both, I'll try EoSD. EoSD really seems painful but it can be done with a lot of effort and time.
LoLK? Ahahahaha. No. Just no. I might consider it if and only if I get every other game LNN'd. It just seems really painful and I don't like how the final attack is like super harder than everything else in the game, and making it to said attack is just near impossible. LoLK LNN grinding (even when gobou did it) just ends up being Ringo/Seiran resets and maybe the occasional Doremy (only to be killed by the first non).
