@lanodan Sorry to break it you. But touhou is nearly 30 years old. Not 20.

@SuperDicq Yeah, NEC PC-98 era, but I don't think I've seen touhou memes from before 2000.

@lanodan There had to be. There were already fanworks in the PC-98 era and there was also 2channel. It was probably very niche and we’ve never seen it because it would’ve been Japanese only at the time. I mean Touhou only for popular in the west during the Windows era.

@SuperDicq Yeah although I'd think those memes would have re-surfaced by now, like nurupo did (thanks to Steins;Gate but also got re-referenced by JP vtubers).
But well nurupo is from 2002… same year as TH06 release.

@lanodan I refuse to believe that not a single IRC channel or message board at any point before 2000 had some sort of inside joke about touhou ever. I assume it just hasn’t been re-surfaced.

@lanodan It could also be lost to time and not resurfaceable.

And then you’re also gonna go into awful the discussion of what counts as a “meme”. Does it need to be online? How much need to know about it? etc.

@SuperDicq Well for example I'd count stuff like songs and catchphrases being ~endlessly parodied/covered/reused as meme, and internet is just a vessel.

(Like I'd put Monty Python as a gigantic source of english memes)

@lanodan Well many of the songs still being parodied today come from the PC98, such as Bad Apple.

@lanodan Yeah but the original midi comes from the PC98, so doesn’t that count as the true origin year? It only became a 2007 because people were already familiar with its melody from having played the games.

@SuperDicq Well… would you count Big Chungus as from 1941 then?

@lanodan I would agree it does, it was just not called that back then. While Bad Apple was still called Bad Apple.

@lanodan Also I did know Steins;Gate was the reason why “Nurupo” got resurfaced.

Steins;Gate is probably a more brilliant series than I thought it was…

@SuperDicq That file doesn't seems to not be streamable, ffmpeg -i $in -codec copy remilia_trash.mp4 seems to be good enough to fix it.

@lanodan Oh yeah that Yuyuko dashcam car crash is an insane video.

It is actual recorded dashcam footage from a truck crashing into a parked car with the dekafumo inside of it.

Very sad to have your car crashed like that, but then again I would totally upload that to the internet.

@lanodan Assuming insurance covers the damage, having this legendary video footage is totally worth the effort, right?

@lanodan Still video should still serve as clear evidence for the insurance company. It is very clear that the car was parked and the truck is at fault.

@SuperDicq @lanodan "Acts of god" are not covered by the typical insurance company, despite how unforeseeable incidents like someone flipping a truck is what you would purchase insurance for.

The same happens with 3rd party liability insurance - pretty much nothing that could inexpectantly happen is covered.

@Suiseiseki @lanodan A truck flipping over is not an act of god, that is clearly the truck driver’s fault.

@SuperDicq @Suiseiseki Yeah, for acts of God you'd need someone like a Shrine Priestess, not insurance. ^^
