I'm in early September and I really wish the protag could just quietly take Ryuji aside for a moment and tell him that if he keeps bagging on my cat then he's going to get a Garudyne enema. Seriously, this crosses over from playful ribbing into genuine cruelty.

Morgana's also a huge dick to Ryuji.

Trouble is their mutual antagonism eventually strikes a genuine nerve and Ryuji doesn't get that.

why is diagnosing a fictional character with autism dangerous and verboten, but diagnosing her with a serious anxiety disorder or severe agoraphobia fine?

Frankly, Yusuke seems more autistic than Futaba to me, in that he has a lot of trouble understanding that other people think he's weird, but don't quote me on that.

Re Futaba:

Agoraphobia doesn't really make sense for how well she transitions out of her funk.

I don't know why anyone isn't going for the more obvious answer of "severely traumatized".

Well, she does go through the fairly unorthodox initial treatment program of having her neuroses excavated from her very soul so it's probably not a one-to-one case.

Because the first one is wrong and the other two are probably less wrong?

He also has a tendency to hyper focus on things of interest to him and completely ignore everything else.

That said I'm not a psychologist so I don't think I'm qualified to diagnose fictional characters with magical powers.

For me, it's less "diagnose" and more that it felt like certain writing cues were pointing to it, like the talk of her and Wakaba being "different" in more than just them being geeky or smart, or how she does things like the way she sits and other stuff. Not necessarily accurate on the writer's part, but maybe pointing to it anyway.

And there's nothing saying that you can't have anxiety on top of that either, but whatever.

Unless I mixing things up, you can buy a broken laptop from the old man right outside of LeBlanc after a certain point in the game (the same place you buy the TV and the game console). You can also buy a laptop repair kit from another shop (in Akihabara?). You then spend a night repairing it at your desk.

It appears in the second-hand store during the summer (I think). Then you have to buy tools from Akihabara to fix it

On the other hand, Yusuke tends to be second in empathy only to Ann when serious Phantom Thief business is being discussed and is usually the first to consider the ramifications of their actions and popularity

Rivers in the Desert is an amazing track with a sick beat :rock: Though it was a massive missed opportunity that it isn't played in the Palace 4 boss fight.

How do you confuse mementos bosses?

I'm doing the pair everyone suggests and it just keeps missing and never landing even with confuse boost and the high level spell. Like I'm starting to wonder if I've been pranked.

There is no high level version of the Confuse spell, just all-targeting version with a lowered chance. Pulinpa and Tentarafoo, right?

Not all of them are vulnerable. Generally it's safe to assume that if a boss is capable of inflicting status effects, they'll be immune to statuses themselves.

Besides that, Pulinpa + Confuse Boost + around 25 LCK will easily do for most bosses in first several floors of Mementos.

Yeah, some bosses it works on and some it doesn't. If you try to confuse 2-3 times and it doesn't stick, just kill them and try the next one.

Yeah, Pulinpa says that's high level.

Quest in particular I'm trying this on is Kawakami's. Everyone was saying these two just dump loads of money and I have MC with a random persona with Pulinpa and Confuse Boost trying, while Ann spams Tentarafoo. Both keep missing while these two idiot fairies try to poke me away.

I've actually been trying other bosses as well but it just doesn't stick to anyone outside one monster- and that one boss didn't throw a item or money, it just burned it's turns being confused.

If Yusuke still has Mind Slice, put him in there and see if that works, even if it says "low chance for Confuse".

If you have a skill that can lower an enemy's evade, that couldn't hurt either, although I'm not sure if that helps with status effects.

Of the two bosses, only Oberon seemed vulnerable to the spell in my experience. And the money he dropped wasn't notably more than any of the others I clocked with Pulinpa.

What's the Persona's LCK stat?

I have about 3.5k coins after buying the prizes and rigging the dice.

EDIT: And of course then I get a cutscene after I try to leave the dice room, derp.
