People in this thread need to attempt to eat the cosmic burger, go to the bath house, drink smoothies, feed their plants, listen to people giving speeches in the street, undergo clinical trials, go to a restaurant and only order coffee, and stuff like that, until they have the Understanding, Knowledge, Proficiency, Guts, and Kindness to make good posts

On an unrelated note, man i'm loving these random coffee facts every time I make a brew. I'm used to getting quizzed on highschool topics in Persona games, but just this one activity randomly going on tangents about the origin and use of specific coffee beans is great.

does your tv have its own positioning settings and stuff

Yeah, but the TV thinks everything is cool. And literally every other device and console hooked up thinks everything is cool, and every other game and app on my PS4 thinks everything is cool. It's literally just Persona that's going "lol gently caress you I'm too big for your screen bitch"

I'm half considering hooking up my psvr to see if it overscans in there too, but that would suck rear end for 80 hours.

I mean I'm okay with that? I'm attempting to say that the game might not be mature enough in style to deal with that kind of situation, especially in the way that it did, which I think is a valid point. If people think that this game that is about social commentary is somehow "above" being commented on, well, god bless.

Much like how you ignored many things about the game's story you have shown that you just as easily ignore things about the posts you got as a response

Every 16 (I think) days you can use more nutrients on it

Cool I will continue to play this cool and fun game and see if they will develop this awesome and dynamic story in a way that is something cool and not dumb. I will make sure I have evidence of my plat trophy so my opinions are valid. Do I need a notary or will a timestamp be viable.

so you came into the thread to make sure everyone knew that you were the most progressive person on the something awful dot com forums, which are themselves dead and gay, as soon as possible

then got mad when people replied to your virtue signalling with "you are virtue signalling, the context of the rest of the game matters"

Oxxidation posted:

but at least i got this out of it, so i'd say it was worth it

here's something less dumb: this game's UI looks like a loving trainwreck in screenshots, it just looks busy and annoying to navigate and while i tried to keep myself away from anything that might be spoilers i remember thinking like "gently caress, i'll have to deal with this ransom-note bullshit for 100 hours???"

but in motion/practice it's actually stylish as heck and i like it a lot, and more to the point Persona 5 is the first game i've played this year where :siren:MY GIRLFRIEND:siren: started off watching me play here and there and is now actively bullying me off the TV to play it herself, which speaks to how good this game is and how easily bullied i am

Let's not shoehorn "rape and its consequences shouldn't have a presence in video games" as a progressive stance, tia

It's straight up "I need to nitpick and this seems like an easy target".

it's not about being progressive it's about appearing progressive

personally i think that behaving as if rape victims have suffered the worst crime against a human imaginable is a pretty hosed up thing to do, since the subtext to that sentiment is literally "you would have been better off getting murdered," and that including a character who had a sex crime perpetrated against them also be able to punch the offender with a punch ghost until they cop to their crimes and get duly punished is just fine

i'm not saying anyone should trivialize rapes or sex crimes - the exact opposite, i hope - but i think that making depictions of rape verboten in media communicates the wrong message is all

also i wrote these words and wanted to immediately delete them all because this is the worst loving topic to discuss on SA

The real takeaway is this has been Persona for...how long? Real world problems like abuse, bullying, sexuality, gender identity intermingling with the occult? I'd expect anyone who's been playing the series long enough to know if that was their thing or not. Maybe it's a credit to the series that it's still taking people by surprise.

And yeah I don't know what this derail is even about - P5 handled itself fine.

Edit: Also I realized too late that I had "should" in my post instead of "shouldn't" which completely muddied the meaning. Edited it for clarity.

this but unironically

anyway i cleared kamoshida's palace in one run and now im stronger than god holy moly that got a little hairy

I feel there's a weird crunch at the beginning where either the EXP gain is low or the time between your party members having new skills is a bit wide. Like I was Lv. 10 by the time I finished my run to the treasure, and still didn't have barely any skills, despite fighting nearly every enemy in my way up there, kinda skipping like four or five when I got in the tower rooms that just had too many boys.

I grinded a bit after making it up there just to have Media/Tarunda/a stronger physical attack for Ryuji for the boss and those made that fight a complete cake walk, I'm curious if it's actually more difficult when a bit lower leveled.

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
As someone who hasn't submerged themselves in the japanese version for 3/4th's of a year but has spent a good 20 hours playing it over the course of 1.5 days I can safely that that the dub is Quite Good. Probably not as good as the jp track where it has the guys and gals from those animes you really like doing the same voices again, but not nearly bad enough to justify missing out on all the non subtitled dialogue due to my crippling gaijinitis.

That is all.
