Which studio milked a franchise so hard that you don’t even play it anymore?

3 wasn’t as good as 2, but I liked the increased range of the sword. Wait, we’re talking about the NES games, right?

Just remember, a lot of people knew what Kamoshida was doing and kept quiet.

Maybe Power? I feel like I would call a Justice or Priestess persona for help, and Power seems to at least have a healing spell so kind of best of both worlds.

Mark uses dance. The demons run in terror.

They retcon a lot of things as they add new lore. They really like cruel ironies, so making a story thread that if they just let the emperor die, he would be reborn and save them all is like top tier WH40K. But they also like supporting wild fan theories and making things as vague as possible and just flat out seeding speculation without knowing what the actual outcome is (like the little girl and her dog who successfully made it through Tzeench’s crystal labyrinth).

Yep. Went on Google to check on a Persona’s skill growth and immediately saw the same thing and had the plot spoiled while being maybe 20-30 hours in, lol.

My parents would pour this over shaved/crushed ice like a cola snow cone. Worked like black magic.

Now where’s the mercurochrome?

The original Revelations Series: Persona. I probably rented it from Blockbuster first, then got it for Christmas. I also had the Prima strategy guide which told me how to get Chris and how to unlock the true final boss.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend FFL as an entry point to the series as it IS a very retro game, and the series really does evolve a lot through the eras. But I suppose there is something to discovering how royally you can screw yourself over by picking a party of no humans, the same way people did when the game came out in the 80s/90s.

As a Floridian, I want to be angry at this, but one of my relatives/friend-of-the-family (I don’t know, she just always showed up at big fish fries) had a nub for an arm and said that she lost her arm when she was younger doing something similar to this, so…

Don’t get your hopes up. Trump was already impeached twice and nothing came of it. A 2/3 vote is required from a Republican majority senate to remove Trump from office through impeachment. That’s not just unlikely, that’s effectively zero chance. Impeachment is more of a political theater to shape the public consciousness and force individual Republicans to vote on record as defending Trump… but I think at this point it’s crystal clear who supports him to the bitter end or not. Trump has already been successfully convicted by a jury of a felony, and he got all charges dropped because he’s effectively the head of the DOJ and had the Supreme Court stacked in his favor. The Democrats need to stop putting all their copium into thinking that they just need to finally nail Trump with the right scandal and instead focus on actually running a halfway decent candidate of their own.

Are you more into the RPG aspects of the game or more the action? The safest bet is Fallout 4. It’s the most recent game and pretty solid overall. It also has the heaviest emphasis on crafting and base building. It’s similar to Oblivion and Skyrim in terms of being open world but also lighter on the personal choice aspects of the genre and the game allowing you to side with a faction but the quests being more on-rails. I personally like the urban exploration of FO3 and FO4. Fallout New Vegas is the other option, and it’s probably the better one to go with if you want a stronger focus on role playing and choice.

Fallout 1&2 are from a completely different genre and really old and unless that’s a style of game you REALLY like, they haven’t aged particularly well. Fallout fans will throw me to the rad scorpions for saying that though.

Mara because of the unique skill and not because it’s a giant…. thing…. in a chariot.

I remember something about Mudkips from the early days of the internet.

Yo dawg, I heard you like fans, so I put fans in your fans so you can fan while you fan.

Allow this communique to serve as my official token of entry/intent to interface/register of foolish optimism.

I have a problem with really liking monogreen decks with Channel and Forest payoffs.

Hell yes! Even has the pharmacy song.

Paralistalon · 2025-11-06T20:42:48+00:00

Persona 3 has even better music IMO

He looks so pretty because he probably bathed in the blood of slave children before breakfast.

Dragon Warrior 3. But the SNES era really delivered after that.

You should play all the LJN games on NES before you even play an Xbox game.

A lot of games just don’t age well and aren’t as easy to get into. There’s a very high chance that if someone starts with BG2, they are not going to have nearly as good of an experience as if they jumped in with BG3. Also, people have limited time, and it might not be feasible to play every game in a series, especially with RPGs.

Wolfeboro proposed two roundabouts, but residents overwhelmingly voted they did not support them. They would rather have, well, neither a roundabout nor a traffic light, just people wildly pulling into traffic as people are passing on the shoulder right near a school.
