Here is my entry to a Pride month Touhou fangame jam~ https://itch.io/jam/touhou-pride-jam-2/rate/674354

Whether it is ARM or something else I think x86 as an ISA is going away at some point. The licensing overhead is just too much to sustain. IMHO something RISC-y is a better solution technically anyway, at least as long as general-purpose CPUs rely on electrons. Heat limits mean that clocks can't be pushed any higher than around 5Ghz, so to get more compute power per "chip" (die) we need more cores. CISC instruction length is a handicap in that situation. It is also easier to design RISC CPUs hardware-wise. ARM is in a good position to take over because it is already well-known on the server, mobile, and embedded side(s) of things. Linux, BSD, and even Windows can already run on ARM processors. Even ARM has licensing fees associated with it however. Not nearly as much as x86, but enough that people already over-sensitized to such things from having to deal with x86 might over-react and consider starting from scratch to be a desirable situation. That might give an opening for something like RISC-V. There's already a debian linux port for RISC-V, and development/experimental hardware to run it. We'll see.

Shigure is a totally infuriating character. Even when he’s trying to do something nice he still has to be an ass about it and laugh at others expense. Though I can’t help but wonder if he isn’t purposefully trying to make people hate him because it’s what he feels he deserves. Then again, maybe I’m trying to read too much into it. Regardless, I hope he really gets walloped at least one before it’s over. Haven’t seen it confirmed, but think there might be a 1 or 2 week break before the 2nd couer starts. EDIT: It looks like an episode is scheduled for next week afterall
