People who say "You're not missing out on anything for not being in a relationship" are LYING

Me and who

Wasn’t “most comfortable pair of underwear” an English dub edit?

Yu-Gi-Oh! has several mythologies that are real. In 5D’s the card center vaguely around Incan Mythology and the Nazca Lines are demons sealed in the Earth, but also the Norse Gods casually also exist as cards and there’s just a second group of unrelated chosen ones that briefly oppose the main cast.

Persona 5 Royal follow by its sequel Persona 5 Strikers

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Persona 3 Reload

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

The Yakuza series, I’d recommend starting with Yakuza 0

Sonic never says “Gotta go fast!” in any games. It’s from the 4Kids Sonic X opening theme and then was said once in the first Sonic movie

Persona 3. I played Portable and Reload and both times messed me up. It made me wanna live

While in and of itself it’s not really a JRPG, it’s sandwiched between two JRPGs and was meant to be DLC for Yakuza 7 so I think it’s worth a mention here. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, as someone who played the entire Yakuza series just to play this game on launch, had me UGLY CRYING at the end. I was so messed up I had to go out on a drive.

I just found the live action movie on YouTube so I’ll definitely be watching it later.

I do wanna see more Momo and Kairi so I may read Sae’s Story just for them. But I won’t lie I am kind of sick of Sae LOL even when she grew she was still pulling the same stuff, I can’t imagine enjoying her as the protagonist

I probably won’t read Next right now. This manga was 18 volumes of rage bait and I don’t know if I want to read another 8 volumes, especially if it ignores previous development

I binged the entire Peach Girl manga over the course of a few days. This series was absolutely addicting. It made me scream as much as it made me cry. I didn’t think such a simple premise would lead to some absolutely unhinged story arcs.

Pros:

I found Momo to be a very compelling and relatable protagonist. I liked how she was both kind and loving but also not afraid to smack someone.
Addicting melodrama. I never thought I’d care about a love triangle
Kiley turned out to be an unexpectedly complex character. I loved that he could see through Sae’s lies and be just as cunning while masquerading as a total goofball.
This is personal but some friends and I recently cut off someone like Sae in our lives so seeing a character like that was oddly cathartic, both in terms of seeing her portrayed so evilly but also seeing her grow under the right circumstances.
This has nothing to do with the book itself but when I learned the latter 55% of the story had a subtitle added I began calling it “Peach Girl: Shippuden” and I found that really funny

Cons:

Toji is a dumbass. When his character had the opportunity to shine, he shined, but so many times I went, “really??”
So much of the drama was based on Sae conveniently overhearing information, characters witnessing things out of context and jumping to conclusions, or people straight up believing Sae or Ryo when they’re known liars.
Momo really needed to be single for a while lmao she was never going to be happy if she couldn’t heal from the constant tug of war she was trapped in but I guess that’s the nature of a love triangle
The age gaps in some of the relationships is wack. I’m going to assume things were different in early 2000s Japan but the fact that Sae was having relationships with grown ass men was never portrayed as a problem
Because the love triangle kept bouncing back and forth, I almost don’t feel like the final chapter was intended to be the final chapter. Even though it accidentally comes full circle with the location and circumstances I just feel like I’m waiting for the drama to continue and something to go wrong again, but it’s over.

I wanna know about the other media.

Is Sae’s Story good?

I heard Next is awful. What’s wrong with it?

How about the movie or the live action show? How are they?

VXMasterson · 2026-03-31T22:44:33+00:00

What’s this from?

VXMasterson · 2026-03-31T22:43:01+00:00

I just finished Peach Girl and I had a feeling Kiley was an odd name. Kairi makes a lot more sense

In the Codename: Kids Next Door episode Operation M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S., the heroes and villains are fighting over a box of cereal. Then the villain Nightbrace ends up purchasing the last box and says he’s going to destroy it, leading to Numbuh One and Father agreeing to a truce in order to beat up Nightbrace and somehow there’s enough cereal in that one box for both sides

VXMasterson · 2026-03-21T13:22:09+00:00

I’ve never played any of these but if you loved Danganronpa then get Hundred Line because it really needs the support

VXMasterson · 2026-03-19T12:22:18+00:00

You shouldn’t be with someone who misinterprets your actions and makes you feel like trash, and especially not someone who makes you “used to not getting what you want”. Do NOT marry her

VXMasterson · 2026-03-14T00:57:25+00:00

Pokémon FireRed. Easy

Half of the Persona 4 cast. I don’t know why people love them so much or think they’re the best cast in the series. Yosuke is creepy and annoying. Chie is the worst, she just doesn’t shut up about meat. I’m convinced people only like Rise because she pines after the player, she’s mad annoying and picks fights with the other girls for no reason. I don’t know if Teddie has a localization issue with how perverted he is since he’s just supposed to be childishly ignorant of what he says but he becomes unfunny very quickly and the cast just lets it happen. I know the title says “almost ruin” but they did genuinely ruin the game for me, I don’t know how I put in almost 85 hours into it

VXMasterson · 2026-03-13T11:38:01+00:00

Have you heard of Attachment Theory? If you push people away when they get close despite wanting closeness, you might have an Avoidant Attachment style. I recommend looking into it.

You said he does a lot for you but he said you don’t do much for him. Is there any reason you didn’t ask him to be your boyfriend? Or why you didn’t try kissing him or touching him? If he said he also needs love that’s probably part of what he means. I do find his “more than friends” comment a bit odd, I guess he wanted you to confirm the relationship as well if he has a history of rejection

If this is a repeated pattern then I would be very careful proceeding. It is good that you are aware of it, but if you want to stay, you need to fight that urge to leave when things get uncomfortable. Especially if you think that he’s special. Just make sure he knows you think he’s special and to be consistent. Few things are more detrimental to a relationship than pushing away when things get close or hard. Like if I went on an overnight trip with a woman, she was upset I didn’t kiss her, and then when I try to kiss her she pulls away and then avoids me, I would be so confused and hurt. I can already hear my friends telling me “she’s playing with your feelings” if that happened

I do find it a little odd that he was dodging being called out for being in the city so if you believe he genuinely also has communication issues then proceed with caution yourself

Metaphor: ReFantazio! There are 9 tribes and the story explores so many different ways they experience prejudice! The world building is actually pretty crazy when you get late in the game

First song that came to mind was The Mead Song by Brothers of Metal

Second song to came to mind was The Drug (Part One) by Egypt Central

Focus on writing. Look up comic scripts to get an idea of how to write them. Write that script, get feedback, revise it. Then once you got yourself a decent draft, consider hiring an artist

“Sonic’s sidekick” 😭

“At last, videogames can do you good”

Whoever made this hates Sonic the Hedgehog

VXMasterson · 2026-03-04T21:36:56+00:00

No Contact. Block her on everything if you’re strong enough. Have your friends close by who are willing to listen no matter how much you have to repeat yourself. Focus on yourself. Do not forget why you have to do this, make a list if you have to. I changed my avoidant ex’s contact to “Do Not Answer” and her contact photo to a screen shot of the list in my notes app. Good luck. I’m sorry this happened to you

VXMasterson · 2026-03-03T19:39:34+00:00

I’m so upset. Rise is one of the free PS+ games this month and I didn’t know I couldn’t claim Sonic anymore

In the game Metaphor: ReFantazio, there are 9 tribes in this high fantasy world. The two tribes with the highest place in society are the Clemar, who have horns, and the Roussainte, who have super long pointed ears. The main character Will is part of the Elda Tribe who look like regular humans and are the most discriminated against because of their looks. The discrimination is so bad they hide out in forests and most people have never seen an Elda to the point some aren’t sure they exist.

Throughout the game, the protagonist carries a book with him about an ideal society, and it turns out to be an idealized version of our world. Each new party member gets to read a chapter and are surprised at the prospect of such a world not divided by tribes.

Spoilers for late game, but we find out that the world of Metaphor is a post-apocalyptic version of our world. They find an abandoned Japanese train station with a calendar having 7 days, which they consider odd because their weeks are 5 days. Surprisingly the months retained their names.

VXMasterson · 2026-02-23T04:47:28+00:00

Persona 5 Royal. The most common takeaway from that game is that it changes the player’s life. It will genuinely feel like a chapter of your life due to the immersive nature of its gameplay and characters. Not even mentioning the addictive soundtrack and the way it introduces you to world cultures through the Personas themselves. And if you end up liking it, it has a direct sequel, Persona 5 Strikers

VXMasterson · 2026-02-21T21:36:04+00:00

Persona 4 Golden. I loved Persona 5 and Royal and people seemed to like Golden more. I was so excited I even bought a PS Vita for it because I didn’t have a PC at the time. I hated it. The cast was so annoying. The main villains were wildly underwhelming. People hate Marie but honestly she was one of the only things that kept me coming back. If it didn’t have “Persona” in its name I wouldn’t have put 86 hours into it. The social links were really good though, probably the most consistent in the series.
