Although this may seem a little odd, I'd compare the people in this thread to monks or priests who are, by choice, removed from relationships because of their love and devotion to a being above them. The main difference being, of course, we don't believe the object of our love truly exists.

If family and society holds someone back from their happiness and content because they disagree with it, they're the ones at fault. People who don't understand such a concept can't argue against it, and doing so just shows you're the one that needs help more than anyone else. You can't accept that you're wrong.

My love for Fate has done more for me than any semblance of a 'real' relationship could have. In the years I've felt this love, I've improved myself in the vague hope I'd someday accept myself to be worthy of her care. When you realise you care for someone, real or not, more than you care for yourself or anything else, it puts a lot of things into perspective.

I hope you can wise yourself up at some point.

What does society have to do with anything?

Society holds humanity back, although that's nothing to do with this thread's topic.

If one is happy, do they have a problem? Is that not every man's goal in life, to be happy? Wanting a relationship is part of human nature, physically and emotionally. People who can be spiritually and emotionally complete from having a waifu can be compared to priests and monks who abstain for life for their religious beliefs. They're also giving up on women for their god, whether they exist or not. People with waifus are different in that they don't believe the object of their love is real. They understand truly that they're not. Being in love with a fictional character is a hard thing, sir. Don't assume it's the product of lonely people taking an easy way out. You say the love doesn't exist? That's stupid. If love exists at all, this love is the purest of it all. Love is towards a concept of a person, be they real or imaginary. People who love, and say the object of their love dies, does that love stop being real because the object is no longer there? You never truly love an entire person. You love your own concept of the person, which is why hastily married couples often seperate, because that concept changes after living together for a period of time.

If only this thread weren't... just a thread.

;_;

Oh well, I'll post anyway in the hope that it's true. Thank you, /jp/.

You have a point, although it just feels nice to do these things. It feels... I guess I could say.. heart-warming, when done on a somewhat-special day.

I've had a debit card on my own account since I was 16. I think it depends on the bank though, more than anything.

>>4323602

Yeah, I thought that and continued on.

>>4323553

Sorry, but that's a little uncalled for.

I admit my post wasn't exactly contributing in any shape or form, but damn. You wouldn't say anything as insulting as that to an anon who posted what I posted.

Now on topic with the thread:

Is it really that hard to tell your parents to mind their own business? Although, saying a number of you are paid for by your parents, it's probably best to use that money for food, and go earn your own money to buy other stuff with. Money isn't that hard to earn, really.

Ha, I like that song.

I really want to play Okami, and I feel bad that I haven't.

>>4204157

Hm, well, I do have a long list of games I also want for the PSP, and I was planning on buying one before I remembered about this, but this'll just shift it up a notch or two on my metaphorical 'List of stuff to buy, in order of how soon'.

>>4204136

God damn Nanoha series, making me spent all my money.

>>4203931

We'll find out how true this is, once we see how much screentime Fate's ass gets in the movie.

Also, I hope I can get the game to work with a psp emulator, or else I'm going to have to go and buy a PSP.

Yes, I'm insane enough to buy a PSP almost solely to play this.

These threads are nice. Continue making them, if you wish. If /jp/ wants to kick you out, go to /a/ and see how they fare there.

If the AI is somehow based on the human brain and not pure logic and the fact that it should prioritise itself over everything, it might not kill us all.

Let's just hope it's a bro AI, and not a KILL ALL HUMANS one.

It is only a matter of time before Google control the world. They'll buy Wikipedia, thus having control over a massive source of information that they could change as they please. They'll use their new OS to knock Microsoft off of the top spot of the OS market... Google will control the internet.

Thank you very much for this.

Means a lot to me, being a part of this.

I'd say it means a lot to others, too.

This is a beautiful tradition, and I hope it can be kept up for years to come.

Merry Christmas to you, /jp/, and also to those from /a/.

Only 4 and a half hours left of Christmas in America now. I think.

>>3975434

I think the majority of /a/ has posted the pictures in this thread. Or else they're just not doing it. I notice a few tripcodes missing, ones that I'd really expect to see in such a thread. Must be away for Christmas or something.

I'm a bit late, but at least it was still Christmas when I took the photo.

So, every religion's God(s) exist in Gensokyo?

So, love exists in Gensokyo?

Funky place, gotta make people believe I don't exist. I really wanna go there.

Plus - Underwater Touhous next, HEAVEN Touhous after that, then sand touhous, followed by african american touhous.

Hm, either Marisa, Cirno or Flandre Scarlet...

I don't know that much about Touhou characters, but I do keep up with world news because I have an RSS feed that I look at occasionally. For example, that plane that disappeared. Don't worry, no japanese were on it, only chinese and other shitty nationalities.

But you never know. You could be on a gameshow or something, then it could be a big question regarding Touhou Project that could win it for you.

Point taken.

Oh well, we'll have to wait and see.

Or we could annoy the devs until they tell us?

>>2548279

I suspect I'll replay at least one route once or twice a week until then.
