• Touhou: USENET in Gensokyo?

    With Gensokyo being the place for forgotten things and text USENET
    pretty much being forgotten by many people (even in Japan it seems),
    don't you think the people of Gensokyo (especially the kappa) could be
    using it in the future? Maybe even right now as we talk?

    Imagine if ZUN somehow stumbles upon USENET and makes his next Touhou
    game about it...

    P.S. Ugh why won't you appear in my netnews client already, is 3
    crossposted newsgroups small enough for you

    I think the first question that should come in mind is, what client
    would they use lol

    That would be very poggers

    Well, that's assuming the clients themselves would be forgotten enough
    too to get into Gensokyo... Thunderbird is far from forgotten (though
    perhaps the Usenet function is? But then I see plenty of people here
    using Thunderbird, even Takane here uses it), and I think people still
    use slrn.

    Now that I think about it, it probably doesn't make sense for Usenet to
    come to Gensokyo without a client to use.

    Did I just shoot my own thread's foot? :P

    Deltarune's second chapter is kinda one I've heard. Even had a character
    for the spam itself lol

    I meant *touhou* games lol.
    Also Hypnospace Outlaw is a much more internety game that you should
    check out.

    What about google groups?

    Might still have a leg to stand on :)

    Google Groups is still being used by spammers, so no :PP

    Perhaps. :)

    If we ignore how our 2hus will get those clients, then I guess Nitori
    would be using slrn? She's the techy type so obviously she would prefer
    the simple text interface. :D

    Reimu would be using Thunderbird because she couldn't bother herself
    with being a ricer and just want something that works. :P

    Marisa and Takane would definitely be the ones who would use a client
    that is designed for downloading binaries! Gotta smuggle those warez >:)

    And Yukari would be using A News or B News (wait those seem to be
    forgotten enough) because she's a fossil. XD

    Ahh lol. Violet Detector seems closest since we see Sumireko there
    posting her selfies to social media and getting likes

    Well it could be possible that a paper copy of the RFC of the Usenet
    protocol NNTP (or even UUCP!) get to Gensokyo, and then somebody writes
    a client for it (N News anyone? With the N standing for Nitori ofc ;))
