2023.06.05 19:57 ArtesticleCom AITA for forcing my bsf to pay for his brothers meal after I invited him out??
Konnor ( M ) is my childhood best friend. he and his Down syndrome brother (Karter) were always a packaged deal. (I hate to mention that he has Down syndrome but I have to for the point of the story) I come from a stable household when it came to money so I was able to afford more than konnor could. I didn’t mind treating him to something nice every now and then.
Recently whenever I invited him over to somewhere expensive or a theme park he would bring his brother without warning me beforehand, so I always had to be the hero, the one that was there to pay, the credit card basically. they always went on every ride even expensive ones, and they’d make a huge fuss whenever Karter couldn’t go on one of the rides, I’d always be the one to sit alone and just stare at the two having fun.
Whenever we get takeout Konnor always payed for his own meal NEVER his brothers! I would always get stuck with my meal and Karter’s, I’ve mentioned many times to him before that I am not responsible to feed his brother, this would always result in a huge fight about how I could afford it and he couldn’t, and it always ended with “is it because he has Down syndrome?”
a few weeks ago, I invited him over to this new EXPENSIVE seafood place that opened right down the street. As expected Karter ended showing up too, this place was astounding but the cheapest item on the menu was around $400, what was different was this time I was stuck with the whole bill! My bsf didn’t want to pay a single dime and started another lecture of how I could afford more, I excused myself to the bathroom, got my purse, went to the front desk, payed and I left.
His family and mine are both blowing up my phone as now he can’t afford his part of the bill. they told me to go back as the place was threatening to call the cops, I silenced my phone and completely ignored all messages and calls. I opened them again this morning and everyone is calling me a jerk for leaving the bill for him and his Down syndrome brother to take care of.
I am now rethinking my choice, was I being too petty? AITA?

2023.06.05 19:54 SashaGreyAgario Are tanks broken?
I am Gold 1 player and it seems that tanks are completely broken right now, especially with new items.
Out of 50 games I played lately tanks were almost always in top when it comes to dmg dealing, while having tank builds and sometimes sneaking one dmg item in their rooster.
You might say, yeye, it's because Gold 1 is not high ELO, and in PRO scene tanks are not so good.
But damn, Bronze/SilveGold players make up of like 80% of the player base.
What is the point of playing ADC when you get higher dmg with tank playing full tank items while getting CC and tons of HP/Resists?
And yeah this is kinda sick when 0/10 tank toplane is able to kill 5/0 ADC in 1v1 while losing almost no HP.
0 mobility champs like Ashe are just doomed for the eternity

2023.06.05 19:42 aoul1 How can I lighten the load for a bit?
I’ve been dealing with a period of really poor physical health recently, on top of a pre-existing physical disability and of course ADHD. All of this is just putting such a massive strain on my relationship - my wife is over capacity, I’m over capacity (because my capacity is just so low at the moment). We want to make time to appreciate each other and enjoy life but the daily cycle of life is just always there. And I used to take on more of it but just can’t at the moment, plus she’s doing some caring for me and then there’s just all the administrative bullshit that comes with being a wheelchair user - it has taken us 2 weeks, 4 phone calls, a trip to a station in person and a railcard application to be able to just book a wheelchair overnight sleeper cabin…. It’s just never ending and stuff we just don’t have capacity for at the moment.
I think if we could just find a way to give ourselves some respite it might allow both of to feel less constantly overwhelmed, find some stable ground again and then hopefully build back. I tried to sort out social care which I’m eligible for but it was like absolutely screaming in to the kafkaesque void and resulted being a massive drain for ultimately no gain as I couldn’t find someone to employ under the extremely restrictive rules set out by my council (and absolutely contrary to The Care Act 2014 and therefore illegal… but I just didn’t have the resources to keep fighting it).
We’ve hired a cleaner fortnightly, which is all we can justify spending although less that we need but at least takes some of the pressure off for bigger things like a deep bathroom and kitchen clean.
I have loads of intolerances so there’s only one company in the UK who does freezer foods I can eat but unfortunately the minimum order requires way more freezer space than I can ever create (one of the food restrictions is around food ‘turning’/having hidden mould etc, and sometimes the items I need are hard to find so I freeze as much as I can especially danger items like berries or my gluten free bread products). So eating well is a big thing that falls to my wife a lot (we do try to cook in a way that gives leftovers to eat when possible although don’t do full batch cooking partly because of the fresh food issue and I just can’t deal with the same thing over and over and over again. But this is also one of the things that slides when capacity is low and we end up eating shit which doesn’t help either of us feel resourced. I am going to buy some bamboo disposable plates though I think.
Does anyone else have any other ways to free up some capacity? I struggle with letting standards slip too much because that in itself can make me feel more swamped and overwhelmed (like when things feel messy) and unfortunately I don’t have a tonne of money to spend. But I need to figure something out just for a while!

2023.06.05 19:38 8trius Shadow integration vs. a Faustian bargain
Over the weekend, I saw Little Shop of Horrors and I was struck by the idea of the Faustian bargain trope. Seymour accepts the deal from Audrey II, resulting in more and more carnage on a manipulated rise to fame and notoriety, yet costing his soul and everything valuable to him.
So, a Faustian bargain is typically known as a deal with the devil where power, fame, and resources are promised in exchange for the protagonist's willingness to let the devil have some measure of control in his life. Typically this plays out in our stories to an ever-increasing toll that wrecks the entire community as the devil has his way.
I thought about shadow integration, something Dr. Peterson got me on a big journey of personal growth. The shadow is the part of my psyche in which I hide my most selfish and societally-unacceptable desires and whims. Jung posited that by bringing awareness to those parts of ourselves that we've repressed, we encounter fundamentally useful creative energy that, when re-channeled, fuels our individual growth in a loving and creative way.
It was described at times as encountering "the devil within."
Jung called this shadow integration.
So, this got me thinking: what is the difference between a Faustian bargain and shadow integration? Assuming that Audrey II served as the devil in Seymour's life, he tried to leverage it and it resulted in chaos; yet Jung believed that by making us aware of the devil within, it serves as the gateway to our individuality and finally becoming socially useful.
Thoughts, opinions, etc.?

2023.06.05 19:36 proggish Need help finding an old system
I'm posting this in multiple subs for max reach, don't be mad at me lol
Searching because I'm a sentimental dummy
So I know this is the absolute longest of shots, but I'm gonna try luck.
TL;DR- looking for my old 3ds because I'm a sentimental bitch. Last 4 of the SN is 5126.
Some 9ish years ago (definitely in 2014 sometime, probably around spring/summer), some roommates put me in a super shitty financial situation, forcing me to liquidate my game collection. Among the items was a Link Between Worlds 3ds. I had so many memories with that thing.
Well, a few military moves later, I found the box for it, inserts and all. This set my nostalgia off something fierce.
I figure, if I reach out enough, maybe I'll find who has it. The internet knows all.
The item was sold to a store called Ed McKay in Winston Salem, NC Serial number ending with 5126. If anyone might have this, I'd be willing to pay over market value if you're up for parting with it.
If you have it and you're not, I might be willing to sell the box for it. Like I said, all of inserts, even that foam-ish cover it comes with.
Again, I know it's an absolute snowballs chance in hell, but it's a non-zero possibility that someone on the internet will have it and see this. The regret of having to part with something I did so much with (loads of friends, conventions, game events, even both Madoka movies in Raleigh, NC) has been really hitting me since I found that box.
Also, the story of when I bought it will always stick with me. Target had them on discount, November 29th 2013, it was Black Friday. I was visiting my mom for the holidays. I heard about the deal, and got stoked. Realized they closed soon, so I called and asked if they still had any and if they could hold them. Yes, they had one. I was told they couldn't hold it. Luckily, it was a 3 minute drive. Asked my mom if she'd drive me down (I'd had a bit to drink and wasn't about to drive) She agreed. We got there, I ran in, went to the electronics section, asked the lady if they still had the one, she said no. I was a bit sad, but I said that ks and started to leave. Then, this huge bear of a man shouted "hey, are you the guy that called about 3-4 minutes ago?" I said yeah. He ran to the back, and came back with the 3DS. I was ecstatic. Gave the dude a hug, bought the 3DS, and enjoyed my night. Not some super special story, but I just remember it.
I know it seems stupid, and like I said, I know it's a snowball's chance in hell during the summer. I just can't shake the idea that maybe, if I actually put some effort in, I'll find it.
I also know it'd be easier to find another one (or at least a shell replacement for a cheapo 3DS XL) and try to make a custom serial number sticker, but that wouldn't be the same, I'd know it wasn't my original one. So I'd really like to find this specific one.
Thanks for reading, and here's to hoping. Fingers crossed, much love.

I also know it'd be easier to find another one (or at least a shell replacement for a cheapo 3DS XL) and try to make a custom serial number sticker, but that wouldn't be the same, I'd know it wasn't my original one. So I'd really like to find this specific one.
Thanks for reading, and here's to hoping. Fingers crossed, much love.
2023.06.05 19:32 proggish Searching for nostalgia
I'm posting this in multiple subs for max reach, don't be mad at me lol
Searching because I'm a sentimental dummy
So I know this is the absolute longest of shots, but I'm gonna try luck.
TL;DR- looking for my old 3ds because I'm a sentimental bitch. Last 4 of the SN is 5126.
Some 9ish years ago (definitely in 2014 sometime, probably around spring/summer), some roommates put me in a super shitty financial situation, forcing me to liquidate my game collection. Among the items was a Link Between Worlds 3ds. I had so many memories with that thing.
Well, a few military moves later, I found the box for it, inserts and all. This set my nostalgia off something fierce.
I figure, if I reach out enough, maybe I'll find who has it. The internet knows all.
The item was sold to a store called Ed McKay in Winston Salem, NC Serial number ending with 5126. If anyone might have this, I'd be willing to pay over market value if you're up for parting with it.
If you have it and you're not, I might be willing to sell the box for it. Like I said, all of inserts, even that foam-ish cover it comes with.
Again, I know it's an absolute snowballs chance in hell, but it's a non-zero possibility that someone on the internet will have it and see this. The regret of having to part with something I did so much with (loads of friends, conventions, game events, even both Madoka movies in Raleigh, NC) has been really hitting me since I found that box.
Also, the story of when I bought it will always stick with me. Target had them on discount, November 29th 2013, it was Black Friday. I was visiting my mom for the holidays. I heard about the deal, and got stoked. Realized they closed soon, so I called and asked if they still had any and if they could hold them. Yes, they had one. I was told they couldn't hold it. Luckily, it was a 3 minute drive. Asked my mom if she'd drive me down (I'd had a bit to drink and wasn't about to drive) She agreed. We got there, I ran in, went to the electronics section, asked the lady if they still had the one, she said no. I was a bit sad, but I said that ks and started to leave. Then, this huge bear of a man shouted "hey, are you the guy that called about 3-4 minutes ago?" I said yeah. He ran to the back, and came back with the 3DS. I was ecstatic. Gave the dude a hug, bought the 3DS, and enjoyed my night. Not some super special story, but I just remember it.

2023.06.05 19:27 Sunchi_Adventures Tesla Is Repurchasing Our Model Y Performance After 3 Months of Ownership
Thought I would post our first Tesla purchase story and experience for others to learn from.
We ordered our MYP on 2/3 and took delivery on 2/27. Like most new Tesla owners we were extremely excited on delivery day. When we arrived our vehicle was nowhere to be found. We went to talk to the advisor, she went out back to check, said they were finishing up prepping the car and will have it out front shortly.
We enjoyed some coffee and snacks while we waited and were informed the car was ready. Super excited, we went to the front and there she was. We inspected the exterior and started to notice a few issues.
Needless to say we were pretty deflated instantly. We informed the advisor and she said you can reject the car or accept delivery and put in a service request to have those issues repaired. Not knowing anything about how Tesla service works and we were just so anxious to have the car after a month long wait, we decided to accept the vehicle and proceeded to put in a service request for the issues.
Our first service appointment was about a week after taking delivery. Dropped off the car, the service advisor (SA) reviewed and updated the notes, we both walk out to the vehicle and the SA pulls out the orange tape to identify and mark the areas that need to be serviced. The SA said this service should take about 4 -5 hours to complete, except the paint issues will need to be completed on a different service ticket since our car would need to go to a Tesla approved third party body shop. She said we can either wait or come back. Since the MYP was our only car, we kindly requested a loaner and were given a slightly abused M3 to get around in the meantime. We were grateful to have a loaner and not have to wait around while our car got serviced.
We were able to check on the status of our service as each item was completed via the app. About 4 hours later we get a message from a SA in the app to come pick up our car. There was no paperwork to sign, just handed the loaner key back to the SA and he told us to have a good day.
We walk out to our car and do a quick walk around and drive home. When we got home we noticed some issues were resolved but also new issues appeared. Our passenger door closed flush now but was not latching properly. We would have to slam the passenger door with a good amount of force in order to get it to latch properly. It was also now misaligned vertically.
So one resolution created another problem. Back into the app we went to identify the new issue and schedule another service appointment. The next available appointment was on 4/4 due to the body shop availability for the paint issues. We enjoy the car in the meantime drop it off on 4/4. Same process as before, orange tape to mark issues and this time they give us a MX, a bit beat up but we were stoked to try it out and happy for the loaner. The service advisor said it should take about a week for your car to be ready.
Here is where the nightmare begins.
A week goes by, we don't hear anything from Tesla.
We give it exactly 2 weeks before sending a message at 8:10am on 4/18 in the app to check on status of our car. We receive a reply at 4:13pm saying the body shop said the car will be ready on 4/21.
4/21 we message Tesla, they respond 3 hours later saying they will check on the status and give an update. Its crickets for 3 days.
4/24, we message Tesla on at 9:50am to ask if they got an update from the body shop. They respond pretty quickly this time, about 20 minutes later saying the car came out of paint on Friday and should be ready for pick up at the end of the day 4/25 around 4pm. We inform Tesla we can come pick up the car on Thursday since we will be going out of town. This gives them 2 additional days as a cushion.
We check back on Thursday but let them know that we will be out of town for a week and don't want to rush them and will check back in once we get back into town. The SA says, no problem, enjoy your trip and we will see you when you get back.
We figured it's been almost 2 more weeks our car should be ready to go.
5/12 at 9:06am we send a message to check on the status. It's crickets once again. This time we drive to Tesla in the afternoon to talk to someone in person. A different SA pulls up our info and tells us someone will get back to us the next day.
5/13 comes and we message and continue to get the run around. This continues on until 5/24.
5/25 we finally get a call from a Service Manager apologizing for the poor communication and delay. I ask him what options do we have at this point and he tells me that Tesla can offer to repurchase the vehicle from us or we can keep the vehicle once it's completed and they will offer to make payments on the car for the months we have been delayed.
We decide to just cut our losses on this MYP and are currently in the repurchase process with Tesla.
A few closing notes.
We love the MYP and really enjoy driving it. It still is the best car we have ever owned, even with its quirks and issues we honestly don't know what other car we would buy at this time. We don't want to go back to a gasoline vehicle nor deal with annoying dealerships and their shady business tactics.
Tesla needs to focus some time and energy into their service experience so stuff like this does not happen. The car is amazing, the service process can be great as well but it is currently an issue that needs to be refined and resolved. I understand our situation is a bit unique and most new Tesla owners will not have any issues nor need to open a service ticket, which is a true blessing.
Message me if you have any questions what so ever, don't hesitate to ask and I will try to give my most honest and open feedback.

- The rear spoiler was not fully attached on the left side. So there was a gap between the spoiler and the trunk.
- Some jagged paint imperfections on the driver side fender and rear passenger door jam.
- A paint blemish on the rear passenger door.
- Cracks on the underside of the trunk just above the license plate holder.
- The car was dirty and still had plastic stuck in the liners of the interior.
- Black smudges in random areas in the interior.
- Misaligned passenger door, did not sit flush when closed

2023.06.05 19:18 daughterskin Persona 5 Royal (2019): You and he were... buddies, weren't you?
"Ooh, we can do this!"
"Ooh, we can do this!"
"Ooh, we can do this!"
Yakuza 5 is a 2012 game that's like Shenmue, had Shenmue the good sense to make money instead of empty promises. The story is an epic spread across five cities starring five playable protagonists. The plot's a bit of a wash due to the huge scope, as it leads to key characters being dropped for dozens of hours on end, but the gameplay is king. It's structured like a JRPG with a cutscene-heavy campaign, numerous minigames and side-quests, and an overworld to traverse populated with random encounters. However, the narrative is set in contemporary Japan with no overt fantastic elements. Four of the protagonists are hardened men who live in the grey areas of society. Ex-yakuza, money-lenders, and nightlife journalists. These guys are magnets for trouble and get jumped on by street sharks thugs by the hour. Naturally you have a repertoire of moves for dealing with said scum. Whether it's crushing a guy's head in a car door, scraping his face on the tarmac, or grabbing him by the legs and swinging his entire body into a lamp-post. It's all in good fun thanks to the tongue-in-cheek macho tone.
Notably the fifth playable character is a teenage girl and daughter of the series main protagonist. Sadly she doesn't get into fist-fights in public, barring mods, as her job is to be an "Idol Singer." Said job doesn't just demand she rehearse and perform a song-and-dance routine every now and them. No, she has to go all out on appealing to a ravenous fanbase of horny men. There are talk-shows where you gush about your interests, and meet-and-greets where you have to shake hands with an endless line of sweaty nerds. There is even a bizarre TV show where our teenage idol breathlessly runs down an empty city street for no visible reason, clearly meant to cater to whatever viewer is busy trying to unscrew a pickle jar with one hand while watching. I cannot put it into words how I found the idol singer business depicted here absolutely skin-crawling. Worse because it's all real. Every facet and detail of it. It was an honest relief when the next chapter rolled around and it was back to business, smashing a dude's face in with a crowbar. In this Tristram Shandy manner, I arrive at Persona 5, a game under the same publishing umbrella as Yakuza, that also delves in the same manner of virtual tourism. Like Yakuza you'll delightfully chew on this morsel until you get your teeth caught on a sticky and undercooked lump of culture-clash that the health-inspector should probably know about.
Content Breakdown
Persona 5 Royal is a remaster of a sequel of a spinoff of a spinoff of a game I'll never play based on a book I'll never read. Wisely, like a lot of long-running IPs, you don't need to know anything about the surrounding meta-series. Persona 5 is an eighty-hour long visual novel that is on occasion interrupted by a dungeon-crawling JRPG. It's not an even split. I'd say a good three-quarters of the game is just choosing dialogue options and watching cutscenes. One bullshit chapter aside, it's a pretty straightforward experience provided you keep up to date with your social obligations.
Persona 5 has you play a young student falsely accused of assault. Now on probation, you're sent packing to Tokyo where you begin a new year of school under a heavy cloud of suspicion. Your world is especially bleak when you learn that your classmates live under the thumb of a predatory gym-teacher. That is until you discover the Metaverse. This is a concept of a virtual world that has existed in public discourse long before a sweaty robot in real-life tried trademarking the term. In Persona 5's case, the metaverse is a realm borne from the subconscious thoughts and desires of the masses. The first chapter has our hero, codenamed Joker, travel to the verse and infiltrate the mental palace of the gym teacher. By stealing the treasure therein, he makes the teacher in the real world feel the weight of his crimes, forcing him to confess. It's like Inception with better audio-mixing. Or Paprika if you're a contrarian nerd.
Joker starts a team called the Phantom Thieves, made up of a close band of friends and some girl called Haru, and they embark on a mission to steal the hearts of the otherwise untouchable corrupt figures in authority. Each chapter follows the same formula. You first get a long period of cutscenes and exposition to set up the next villain. Then you enter a sandbox where you have two to three weeks to steal the treasure from the villain of the week's palace. It's recommended to binge said palace in the minimum number of days possible, to free up your time building your social stats and bonds.
Now that I've laid out the structure of the game, I can put forth where it shines, where it falters, and where it stuffs itself like Mr. Creosote.
The Perks of (not) being a Wallflower
I detest a sloppy interface. I hate it when a Eurojank RPG ejaculates a message onscreen like "You received 15 Experience Points" in Calibri font. Piranha Bytes, I'm looking at you. I believe there are two ways you can go about making an ideal interface. Either downplay it and make it largely invisible, like Resident Evil ever since it got rebooted in RE7 or give the interface a character in itself that reflects that the nature of the game. What people remember about Persona 5 is the sheer style it injects into every menu and transition. There's an energy to every speech-bubble and button-prompt. The striking red colour-scheme and excited typography ooze charm without ever hampering the legibility. Your reward for leveling up isn't a minor stat increase, it's hearing the satisfying pop of a balloon in the result screen. I never thought firing a gun in turn-based combat could be satisfying. The one stylistic choice that wasn't necessary were the jagged black-borders seen during cinematics. It reminded me of Dark Souls II where every time we introduced the boss, the cameraman got an erection.
*
I beat Dragon Quest XI a while back. I thought it was solid at the time, being a HD revisit of the much loved VIII. But my opinion of it has since soured like pasteurized milk in a heatwave. For one the protagonist had an incredibly boring design and possessed no personality whatsoever. Scene after scene would thrust him to the spotlight, despite him having no voiced dialogue nor able to register a single facial expression. Persona 5's Joker meanwhile never took me out of the action because the camera never gets it in his face, and he can speak a few words in at key moments. It's no exaggeration to say that Joker's design is iconic and instantly recognizable. Meanwhile that loser uncle from Watch Dogs laments that nobody cares about his ball-cap, which remain by the thousand gathering dust in a Canadian warehouse.
Dragon Quest XI also lost me due to its rather horrendous soundtrack. That game could take 90 hours to platinum when it had at most 90 minutes of music. If you ever stumbled upon a pleasing composition, that's because it was recycled from a previous game. The overworld theme of XI haunts my dreams with its cacophony of blarps heard in every corner of the world. I strongly believe that the composer, Koichi "No Dignity" Sugiyama, actually died years before his official passing. But his spirit was able to possess his corpse thanks to his reality-warping bigotry. By comparison Persona 5 has an actual soundtrack that easy on the ears. We've got Jazz, Pop, and a touch of Disco. The best track is "River in the Desert", a thumping vocal piece that hypes up the player's stature instead of the boss. I'm really not a music-listening-guy so I'll just hurry to the next point. It's easier to raze than to praise.
*
Persona 3 and 4 were made quick and cheap back in the day, with the most budget example of their production being the dungeons. Just floor after floor of randomly-generated rooms and corridors. Throw in some treasure chests and patrolling mobs of enemies and you're done. Persona 5 steps up by default simply by having level-design at all. Each palace you infiltrate is a hand-crafted zone with puzzles and set-pieces. To help sell the feeling of a heist, each palace is modeled after a locale like a bank, a castle, or a casino, but naturally governed by the ego of its ruler. It isn't mind-blowing for a game to have levels with setpieces and shortcuts, but it's such a strong move forward for the series that it can never go back to a bunch of flat and boring grids.
Persona 5 Royal still has a randomly-generated dungeon, but it's well handled here. When you steal the treasure from a palace, the place crumbles and can no longer be accessed. Mementos is the game's backup and mega-dungeon, being over seventy floors deep and unlocked piecemeal with the plot. Here you can quickly level up, earn cash and items, catch persona you missed and undertake side-quests. The quests are pretty much all the same, where you confront a mini-boss in an arena, but there aren't too many of them to outstay their welcome. Mementos has a rewarding collectible system whereby you can find stamps that can be used to augment the rate you gain experience, cash, and items. What's absolutely key about Mementos is that you have Ryuji's Insta-kill perk. This lets you immediately kill off low-level mobs without entering combat, but lets you keep all the spoils. This cuts down on hours of killing trash mobs. I honestly think this perk should have been available from the get-go.
*
Combat is quick and flashy, with the aim being to chain attacks together so that your enemies never get a word in. You hit foes in their elemental weakness or bring them to their knees with a status-effect, then cap them off with a flashy all-out attack. It's a testament to the game there is so much vitality in what is a purely turn-based affair with no quick-time events or timed button-mashing thrown in an attempt to perk things up. It's very much a winning formula that has been iterated and polished on for over a decade.
Guts and Friends are still on the Boat
The irony of Persona 5 is that for a game all about balancing one's social-life with work and making friends, you will have to give up your own real social-life and friends if you want to beat the fucking thing. Against my better judgment I powered through the thing in two weeks and earned the rather easy platinum after eighty hours. There's a second set of achievements in-game that demand you accomplish all the tedious shit like beat every superboss and collect every item, but nobody has the time for that. Now, I can't think of what to add to Persona 5 as to improve the experience, but I sure as hell have a laundry list of scenes that should have gotten the Hemingway treatment.
*
The first three-quarters of the story is told through a framing-device where Joker is in custody after a heist gone wrong. You're thrust back to the oresent between each chapter where the interrogator introduces the next villain. However, every time you initiate a new friendship, the framing-device butts in for no real reason. What's that? You became pals with the kid who plays the light-gun game at the arcade? That must explain how adept you are at firearms! This happens at least twenty times. It's an entire layer of commentary that didn't need to exist.
*
In an eighty-hour game, I don't think it's necessary to flashback to a moment that happened ten seconds ago.
*
The climax of the base game is incredibly long. The palace has you take on five minibosses who drop the keys needed to reach the treasure. In a surprising twist, the last mini-boss has three phases. The palace ruler then fights you in a five-phase battle. Hope you don't die at any point, because checkpoints aren't a thing in this game. Completing this palace launches you into the endgame which takes place inside of a single day. First you must reach the bottom of Mementos, which I also hope you hadn't neglected to fully plumb by this point. Then you have to complete two dungeons back-to-back in addition to four mini-bosses before finally taking down the god of evil or whoever. What makes this section especially drag is that the plot threads the player might have cared about are wrapped up in the middle of this dungeon crawl. You are essentially fighting a new villain at this point only vaguely tied to the main conspiracy.
*
I loosely followed a guide for the first four months of the game, and I was able to max out all my social stats by the midpoint. Still, the game had to pause while rewarding me points in charm or intellect I had no use for.
*
Towards the end of the game, I noticed a ton of identical scenes that occur back-to-back. When the true villain rears his head, all your party-members lose hope and choose to mope around in a prison block. You have to manually talk to all six of them and snap them out of their stupor, while the soundtrack keeps cutting between the same two maudlin tracks like this is Full House or something. This sequence is repeated again in the next chapter. For some reason it takes Joker an effing week just to hold a five-minute conversation with each of his friends. Then each of my friends unlocked their strongest persona, meaning the same scene again six times in a row. Just when the game threatened to end, there's a day where Joker is given a chocolate from all ten of the women he can befriend. The same scene, ten times, all in a row.
*
At the end of the first social link I completed there was a twist that put a neat bow on the friendship. I smiled at that. Then I completed another social link which delivered same twist, and another and another. My smile dropped. I feel the writers are running up against the structure of the game, with each social link having exactly ten levels to progress through. A game like Ys VIII or Yakuza can be more flexible and less repetitive with how side-quests are laid out because it's not beholden to a calendar. Persona 5 exposes the limitation of its central conceit since it has to stretch or squeeze every sidequest into the same ten beats.

In an eighty-hour game, I don't think it's necessary to flashback to a moment that happened ten seconds ago.
XXI. The Worst
I'm not sure if it's a Japanese thing or a Persona thing, but the relationship between Joker and his homeroom teacher gets really awkward. The thing is you'll want to embark on this weird friendship as early as possible as she offers the most useful perks in the game.

Ryuji is your first companion, and he's likable from the get-go. He's a wrongly disgraced athlete who's not big on the books, but he possesses a firm sense of justice and is a faithful brother-in-arms from the minute you meet him. The worst scene of the game sees Ryuji put his friends' safety over his own wellbeing, proving him to be at heart a selfless and compassionate person. He then gets beaten up by the very people he saved, as a joke. Persona 5 is peppered with little "anime-isms" that would be inoffensive in a twenty minute cartoon, but are plain tasteless in a story-heavy epic that wants to be taken seriously.
The second worst scene of the game sees Ryuji get hit on by a camp gay duo. In a story with many healthy friendships between men, what wasn't needed was a pair of dated and unfunny stereotypes seemingly time-warped here from 2003. The Royal remaster tries to dress down their offensive nature, but it would have kinder to omit them entirely like Yakuza 3 did with its crossdresser country-runner subplot.
*
Persona 5 has an excellent soundtrack, no argument here. But like the previous game it commits the sin of having one unchanging battle theme. There are technically two, one for when you ambush the enemy 95% of the time, the other for when the enemy ambushes you. In essence you're going to hear the first fifteen seconds of the same pop song ad nauseum across an eighty-hour game.
*
Persona 5 still has that old chestnut where you get a Game Over if Joker falls in combat, regardless of how healthy the rest of the party is. While there may have been an in-story justification for this rule back in Persona 3, or in the SMT games where your characters acts as a beast-tamer with no human allies, here it just feels like a tradition that has stuck around because nobody cared to take a second look at it. Like an employee who was technically fired ages ago, but who still shows up at the workplace and acts like nothing happened.
*
Personal preference, but I think the persona system itself could be streamlined. The act of recruiting of monsters in the Persona sub-series is downplayed because only Joker can change and customize his persona. There are hundreds of persona to fuse together, with dozens of possible traits and hundreds of possible skills to pass on, which feels like overkill for sake of customization. Persona started as a spinoff of a series that was hardcore turn-based combat and dungeon-crawling. But with the introduction of the social-sim element the needle shifted and dungeon-crawling is no longer the sole exhibit. I think that for all the polish and new toys Persona 5 brings, it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut down on the series baggage it inherits. It's also tedious on level-up having to discard old skills to make room for new ones.

The first antagonist is a predatory gym teacher called Kamoshida and he's an excellent villain for how real he is. He's not tied to the overarching conspiracy or some supernatural monster, he's simply a rotten man in authority not far removed from the countless rotten real-life men in authority who make the headlines every week. The first chapter builds and builds on Kamoshida's depravity, making your vendetta with him both personal and just. The mood lightens when Joker and his friends get a handle on how the metaverse, and there is a well-earned catharsis in bringing Kamoshia down from the inside.
The problem is that the rest of the villains after Kamoshida suck. All of them, except for the new guy introduced in the Royal remaster, are missing something. One villain decides to reform offscreen and promptly disappears. Another villain is shown to be nothing but a despicable businessman without a single redeeming trait. When he gets killed off by the conspiracy, it's played as a tragedy, but again the game has any tender moments to his name happen offscreen. The main villain, who drives the first eighty-percent of the plot, is a massive disappointment. You'll know who he is after the first chapter, though inevitably the Phantom Thieves are too thick to grasp that the random guy with voice-acting and his own character portrait will be important later. When the main villain formally takes the spotlight, he gives us the worst written exchange in the game, wherein he and his henchman talk about the evil plan they're undertaking, despite both characters knowing each other for years and having no reason to exposit shit now except for the benefit of an invisible audience. No matter how much they want us to hate this guy there is simply nothing to grasp on to. He's too thinly sketched to merit any animosity.
By comparison, the villain of Yakuza 7 was a politician who was all but useless in a fight. Where Persona 5 pays lip service to rebellion, Yakuza 7 goes heavily political and is all the better for it. The villain there pulls an absolutely disgusting move right out of the nationalist playbook, yet taking him down is not a purely cathartic act. The final confrontation is a rollercoaster of emotion that drives the hero, the villain, and the audience to blubbering tears. For how long Persona 5 is, it fails to flesh out its antagonists to register them as in being any way interesting. It's also disappointing in the lack of any female villains.
The Royal remaster isn't so much of an expanded version of the game as it is a mulligan, a do-over. They must have realized that the villains after Kamoshida kind of blew, so they capped the game off with an extra chapter and a proper antagonist. You'll know who this guy is long before the other shoe drops, but he is a strong addition and offers an excellent performance by a now sadly departed voice-actor. The new chapter also pairs you up with an evil party member who is refreshing in how much of a hammy, abrasive jerk he is.
*
Now I must come to the elephant in the room, and I'm not talking about Ganesha. This is the absolute low-point of Persona 5, an opinion shared by pretty much everyone who has beaten the game. The fifth chapter of Persona 5 is unequivocally garbage. We're introduced to Haru, the last member of the Phantom Thieves. She makes her formal appearance forty hours in and her social link is the final one to be unlocked. By the time I'd finally spoken to her I'd maxed out all my social stats, finished most of my bonds, and the Phantom Thieves had undergone many close adventures together, making it a tall order to care about some new girl so late in the day. Even the girl stapled on by the Royal remaster has more build-up than Haru.
Despite Haru having personal ties to the villain of the week, the plot decides that a talking cat should take the limelight instead. In the showdown between Haru and the villain, the talking cat gets the shining moment instead of Haru. Why are we are focused on the fucking talking cat? There is an utterly stupid conflict with this talking cat that comes from nowhere, accomplishes nothing, and is promptly wrapped up having no effect on the greater narrative. There's also an attempt to frame what has been a black-and-white situation until now into a moral quandary, even though the thieves were perfectly justified in their actions which they did for selfless reasons. It's like Batman catching the Joker trying to make baby oil by crushing babies, and the Joker stops Batman in his tracks by asking what if Batman was the real guilty party here?
Sadly it isn't just the writers who are chugging stupid pills in this chapter. The game-design takes a deep dive into obnoxious waters. The palace has this nonsensical puzzle with switches and airlocks that I gave up on trying to decipher the logic of, so alt-tab to Neoseeker I did. But the real offender is the boss. Oh God, the boss. Due to his resemblance to Robin William, I'm going to call him Patch Adams. This is how the fight against Patch Adams goes:
*
Like the talking cat mentioned above, the game has a frustrating tendency to focus on the wrong characters. The social-links with party members like Ann and Makoto are more about conversing with their incredibly annoying and unlikable friends. More than once a character is built up as a slimeball who looks to have their heart changed, only for you to never confront them and the whole matter is quickly resolved offscreen.
Rank Up!
Persona 5 is a game that will fall apart for some on account of its weak plotting, disappointingly lightweight story, and excessive length. But it kept me glued to my gamepad on the strength of its gameplay, polish, and presentation. It's a massive game and trying to topple it completely with my criticism is like trying to knife to death an already beached whale. It's far too big and could have afforded a tighter focus on the elements that mattered. The Royal remaster adds a welcome ton of polish and quality-of-life features, but it also renders a good chunk of the game's underlying systems redundant.
Both the first and final chapters are its strongest, narratively, so I'm more inclined to forgive its countless fuck-ups in the middle. It's far from the best of the "big" games I've played but it still manages to stick the landing. Obviously I'd recommend a loose guide if you want to see every story event in the one playthrough. I chide games like Red Dead II for going all out on the visuals while leaving the underlying mechanics rusty and unchanged, so I must praise Persona 5 for pushing the hardware towards timeless style over aging polygons, while taking care to examine what's under the hood. You'd never guess this game released on the PS3, years after the console's heyday.
Persona 5 is big fun while it lasts though you will notice when it leans on the most aggravating of anime tropes. Again, sometimes I can't tell if the thing that annoys me is a Japanese thing or a Persona thing. Like Yakuza 5, this pancake is little overcooked on one side, but you'll enjoy it all the same.

"Ooh, we can do this!"
"Ooh, we can do this!"
Yakuza 5 is a 2012 game that's like Shenmue, had Shenmue the good sense to make money instead of empty promises. The story is an epic spread across five cities starring five playable protagonists. The plot's a bit of a wash due to the huge scope, as it leads to key characters being dropped for dozens of hours on end, but the gameplay is king. It's structured like a JRPG with a cutscene-heavy campaign, numerous minigames and side-quests, and an overworld to traverse populated with random encounters. However, the narrative is set in contemporary Japan with no overt fantastic elements. Four of the protagonists are hardened men who live in the grey areas of society. Ex-yakuza, money-lenders, and nightlife journalists. These guys are magnets for trouble and get jumped on by street sharks thugs by the hour. Naturally you have a repertoire of moves for dealing with said scum. Whether it's crushing a guy's head in a car door, scraping his face on the tarmac, or grabbing him by the legs and swinging his entire body into a lamp-post. It's all in good fun thanks to the tongue-in-cheek macho tone.
Notably the fifth playable character is a teenage girl and daughter of the series main protagonist. Sadly she doesn't get into fist-fights in public, barring mods, as her job is to be an "Idol Singer." Said job doesn't just demand she rehearse and perform a song-and-dance routine every now and them. No, she has to go all out on appealing to a ravenous fanbase of horny men. There are talk-shows where you gush about your interests, and meet-and-greets where you have to shake hands with an endless line of sweaty nerds. There is even a bizarre TV show where our teenage idol breathlessly runs down an empty city street for no visible reason, clearly meant to cater to whatever viewer is busy trying to unscrew a pickle jar with one hand while watching. I cannot put it into words how I found the idol singer business depicted here absolutely skin-crawling. Worse because it's all real. Every facet and detail of it. It was an honest relief when the next chapter rolled around and it was back to business, smashing a dude's face in with a crowbar. In this Tristram Shandy manner, I arrive at Persona 5, a game under the same publishing umbrella as Yakuza, that also delves in the same manner of virtual tourism. Like Yakuza you'll delightfully chew on this morsel until you get your teeth caught on a sticky and undercooked lump of culture-clash that the health-inspector should probably know about.

Persona 5 Royal is a remaster of a sequel of a spinoff of a spinoff of a game I'll never play based on a book I'll never read. Wisely, like a lot of long-running IPs, you don't need to know anything about the surrounding meta-series. Persona 5 is an eighty-hour long visual novel that is on occasion interrupted by a dungeon-crawling JRPG. It's not an even split. I'd say a good three-quarters of the game is just choosing dialogue options and watching cutscenes. One bullshit chapter aside, it's a pretty straightforward experience provided you keep up to date with your social obligations.
Persona 5 has you play a young student falsely accused of assault. Now on probation, you're sent packing to Tokyo where you begin a new year of school under a heavy cloud of suspicion. Your world is especially bleak when you learn that your classmates live under the thumb of a predatory gym-teacher. That is until you discover the Metaverse. This is a concept of a virtual world that has existed in public discourse long before a sweaty robot in real-life tried trademarking the term. In Persona 5's case, the metaverse is a realm borne from the subconscious thoughts and desires of the masses. The first chapter has our hero, codenamed Joker, travel to the verse and infiltrate the mental palace of the gym teacher. By stealing the treasure therein, he makes the teacher in the real world feel the weight of his crimes, forcing him to confess. It's like Inception with better audio-mixing. Or Paprika if you're a contrarian nerd.
Joker starts a team called the Phantom Thieves, made up of a close band of friends and some girl called Haru, and they embark on a mission to steal the hearts of the otherwise untouchable corrupt figures in authority. Each chapter follows the same formula. You first get a long period of cutscenes and exposition to set up the next villain. Then you enter a sandbox where you have two to three weeks to steal the treasure from the villain of the week's palace. It's recommended to binge said palace in the minimum number of days possible, to free up your time building your social stats and bonds.
Now that I've laid out the structure of the game, I can put forth where it shines, where it falters, and where it stuffs itself like Mr. Creosote.
The Perks of (not) being a Wallflower
I detest a sloppy interface. I hate it when a Eurojank RPG ejaculates a message onscreen like "You received 15 Experience Points" in Calibri font. Piranha Bytes, I'm looking at you. I believe there are two ways you can go about making an ideal interface. Either downplay it and make it largely invisible, like Resident Evil ever since it got rebooted in RE7 or give the interface a character in itself that reflects that the nature of the game. What people remember about Persona 5 is the sheer style it injects into every menu and transition. There's an energy to every speech-bubble and button-prompt. The striking red colour-scheme and excited typography ooze charm without ever hampering the legibility. Your reward for leveling up isn't a minor stat increase, it's hearing the satisfying pop of a balloon in the result screen. I never thought firing a gun in turn-based combat could be satisfying. The one stylistic choice that wasn't necessary were the jagged black-borders seen during cinematics. It reminded me of Dark Souls II where every time we introduced the boss, the cameraman got an erection.
*
I beat Dragon Quest XI a while back. I thought it was solid at the time, being a HD revisit of the much loved VIII. But my opinion of it has since soured like pasteurized milk in a heatwave. For one the protagonist had an incredibly boring design and possessed no personality whatsoever. Scene after scene would thrust him to the spotlight, despite him having no voiced dialogue nor able to register a single facial expression. Persona 5's Joker meanwhile never took me out of the action because the camera never gets it in his face, and he can speak a few words in at key moments. It's no exaggeration to say that Joker's design is iconic and instantly recognizable. Meanwhile that loser uncle from Watch Dogs laments that nobody cares about his ball-cap, which remain by the thousand gathering dust in a Canadian warehouse.
Dragon Quest XI also lost me due to its rather horrendous soundtrack. That game could take 90 hours to platinum when it had at most 90 minutes of music. If you ever stumbled upon a pleasing composition, that's because it was recycled from a previous game. The overworld theme of XI haunts my dreams with its cacophony of blarps heard in every corner of the world. I strongly believe that the composer, Koichi "No Dignity" Sugiyama, actually died years before his official passing. But his spirit was able to possess his corpse thanks to his reality-warping bigotry. By comparison Persona 5 has an actual soundtrack that easy on the ears. We've got Jazz, Pop, and a touch of Disco. The best track is "River in the Desert", a thumping vocal piece that hypes up the player's stature instead of the boss. I'm really not a music-listening-guy so I'll just hurry to the next point. It's easier to raze than to praise.
*
Persona 3 and 4 were made quick and cheap back in the day, with the most budget example of their production being the dungeons. Just floor after floor of randomly-generated rooms and corridors. Throw in some treasure chests and patrolling mobs of enemies and you're done. Persona 5 steps up by default simply by having level-design at all. Each palace you infiltrate is a hand-crafted zone with puzzles and set-pieces. To help sell the feeling of a heist, each palace is modeled after a locale like a bank, a castle, or a casino, but naturally governed by the ego of its ruler. It isn't mind-blowing for a game to have levels with setpieces and shortcuts, but it's such a strong move forward for the series that it can never go back to a bunch of flat and boring grids.
Persona 5 Royal still has a randomly-generated dungeon, but it's well handled here. When you steal the treasure from a palace, the place crumbles and can no longer be accessed. Mementos is the game's backup and mega-dungeon, being over seventy floors deep and unlocked piecemeal with the plot. Here you can quickly level up, earn cash and items, catch persona you missed and undertake side-quests. The quests are pretty much all the same, where you confront a mini-boss in an arena, but there aren't too many of them to outstay their welcome. Mementos has a rewarding collectible system whereby you can find stamps that can be used to augment the rate you gain experience, cash, and items. What's absolutely key about Mementos is that you have Ryuji's Insta-kill perk. This lets you immediately kill off low-level mobs without entering combat, but lets you keep all the spoils. This cuts down on hours of killing trash mobs. I honestly think this perk should have been available from the get-go.
*
Combat is quick and flashy, with the aim being to chain attacks together so that your enemies never get a word in. You hit foes in their elemental weakness or bring them to their knees with a status-effect, then cap them off with a flashy all-out attack. It's a testament to the game there is so much vitality in what is a purely turn-based affair with no quick-time events or timed button-mashing thrown in an attempt to perk things up. It's very much a winning formula that has been iterated and polished on for over a decade.
Guts and Friends are still on the Boat
The irony of Persona 5 is that for a game all about balancing one's social-life with work and making friends, you will have to give up your own real social-life and friends if you want to beat the fucking thing. Against my better judgment I powered through the thing in two weeks and earned the rather easy platinum after eighty hours. There's a second set of achievements in-game that demand you accomplish all the tedious shit like beat every superboss and collect every item, but nobody has the time for that. Now, I can't think of what to add to Persona 5 as to improve the experience, but I sure as hell have a laundry list of scenes that should have gotten the Hemingway treatment.
*
The first three-quarters of the story is told through a framing-device where Joker is in custody after a heist gone wrong. You're thrust back to the oresent between each chapter where the interrogator introduces the next villain. However, every time you initiate a new friendship, the framing-device butts in for no real reason. What's that? You became pals with the kid who plays the light-gun game at the arcade? That must explain how adept you are at firearms! This happens at least twenty times. It's an entire layer of commentary that didn't need to exist.
*
In an eighty-hour game, I don't think it's necessary to flashback to a moment that happened ten seconds ago.
*
The climax of the base game is incredibly long. The palace has you take on five minibosses who drop the keys needed to reach the treasure. In a surprising twist, the last mini-boss has three phases. The palace ruler then fights you in a five-phase battle. Hope you don't die at any point, because checkpoints aren't a thing in this game. Completing this palace launches you into the endgame which takes place inside of a single day. First you must reach the bottom of Mementos, which I also hope you hadn't neglected to fully plumb by this point. Then you have to complete two dungeons back-to-back in addition to four mini-bosses before finally taking down the god of evil or whoever. What makes this section especially drag is that the plot threads the player might have cared about are wrapped up in the middle of this dungeon crawl. You are essentially fighting a new villain at this point only vaguely tied to the main conspiracy.
*
I loosely followed a guide for the first four months of the game, and I was able to max out all my social stats by the midpoint. Still, the game had to pause while rewarding me points in charm or intellect I had no use for.
*
Towards the end of the game, I noticed a ton of identical scenes that occur back-to-back. When the true villain rears his head, all your party-members lose hope and choose to mope around in a prison block. You have to manually talk to all six of them and snap them out of their stupor, while the soundtrack keeps cutting between the same two maudlin tracks like this is Full House or something. This sequence is repeated again in the next chapter. For some reason it takes Joker an effing week just to hold a five-minute conversation with each of his friends. Then each of my friends unlocked their strongest persona, meaning the same scene again six times in a row. Just when the game threatened to end, there's a day where Joker is given a chocolate from all ten of the women he can befriend. The same scene, ten times, all in a row.
*
At the end of the first social link I completed there was a twist that put a neat bow on the friendship. I smiled at that. Then I completed another social link which delivered same twist, and another and another. My smile dropped. I feel the writers are running up against the structure of the game, with each social link having exactly ten levels to progress through. A game like Ys VIII or Yakuza can be more flexible and less repetitive with how side-quests are laid out because it's not beholden to a calendar. Persona 5 exposes the limitation of its central conceit since it has to stretch or squeeze every sidequest into the same ten beats.

He's a wrongly disgraced athlete who's not big on the books, but he possesses a firm sense of justice and is a faithful brother-in-arms from the minute you meet him. The worst scene of the game sees Ryuji put his friends' safety over his own wellbeing, proving him to be at heart a selfless and compassionate person. He then gets beaten up by the very people he saved, as a joke.

Personal preference, but I think the persona system itself could be streamlined.

The first antagonist is a predatory gym teacher called Kamoshida and he's an excellent villain for how real he is. He's not tied to the overarching conspiracy or some supernatural monster, he's simply a rotten man in authority not far removed from the countless rotten real-life men in authority who make the headlines every week. The first chapter builds and builds on Kamoshida's depravity, making your vendetta with him both personal and just. The mood lightens when Joker and his friends get a handle on how the metaverse, and there is a well-earned catharsis in bringing Kamoshia down from the inside.
The problem is that the rest of the villains after Kamoshida suck. All of them, except for the new guy introduced in the Royal remaster, are missing something.

Now I must come to the elephant in the room, and I'm not talking about Ganesha. This is the absolute low-point of Persona 5, an opinion shared by pretty much everyone who has beaten the game. The fifth chapter of Persona 5 is unequivocally garbage. We're introduced to Haru, the last member of the Phantom Thieves. She makes her formal appearance forty hours in and her social link is the final one to be unlocked. By the time I'd finally spoken to her I'd maxed out all my social stats, finished most of my bonds, and the Phantom Thieves had undergone many close adventures together, making it a tall order to care about some new girl so late in the day. Even the girl stapled on by the Royal remaster has more build-up than Haru.
Despite Haru having personal ties to the villain of the week, the plot decides that a talking cat should take the limelight instead. In the showdown between Haru and the villain, the talking cat gets the shining moment instead of Haru. Why are we are focused on the fucking talking cat? There is an utterly stupid conflict with this talking cat that comes from nowhere, accomplishes nothing, and is promptly wrapped up having no effect on the greater narrative. There's also an attempt to frame what has been a black-and-white situation until now into a moral quandary, even though the thieves were perfectly justified in their actions which they did for selfless reasons. It's like Batman catching the Joker trying to make baby oil by crushing babies, and the Joker stops Batman in his tracks by asking what if Batman was the real guilty party here?
Sadly it isn't just the writers who are chugging stupid pills in this chapter. The game-design takes a deep dive into obnoxious waters. The palace has this nonsensical puzzle with switches and airlocks that I gave up on trying to decipher the logic of, so alt-tab to Neoseeker I did. But the real offender is the boss. Oh God, the boss. Due to his resemblance to Robin William, I'm going to call him Patch Adams. This is how the fight against Patch Adams goes:
- It's eight phases long. The first five phases pit you against a quartet of robots.
- Each quarter of robots are vulnerable to a certain element.
- You have to defeat all four robots simultaneously, or the surviving robots will retreat and the phase will start over with new robots at full health.
- One robot will always destroy itself, which triggers the rest to retreat, so you have a limited number of turns to destroy them all before that point.
- Your time is actually limited. There's a thirty minute countdown that doesn't stop for anything. Not even the cutscenes.

Like the talking cat mentioned above, the game has a frustrating tendency to focus on the wrong characters. The social-links with party members like Ann and Makoto are more about conversing with their incredibly annoying and unlikable friends. More than once a character is built up as a slimeball who looks to have their heart changed, only for you to never confront them and the whole matter is quickly resolved offscreen.

You'd never guess this game released on the PS3, years after the console's heyday.
Persona 5 is big fun while it lasts though you will notice when it leans on the most aggravating of anime tropes. Again, sometimes I can't tell if the thing that annoys me is a Japanese thing or a Persona thing. Like Yakuza 5, this pancake is little overcooked on one side, but you'll enjoy it all the same.

2023.06.05 19:08 chongmc Why are there differences in each stores?
What I want to know is why some stores carry items and some stores don’t? I can understand different countries or even different states (in US) but when I see things posted here and in the deal guy’s YouTube and I go to our local store to look for them, they are not in my location. I love Costco but it’s frustrating…anyone know the reason?

2023.06.05 19:03 KennyLamLam24 Prismatic Buried Treasure Bug
I took the Ezreal legend for the first time and chose Buried Treasure I as my first augment. Second stage comes and I chose prismatic Buried Treasure as my second augment. No items came out the next 5 rounds, proceeded to go 8th LOL. No big deal, sorcerer sucks early anyways but kinda sucked that happened. I wonder if it only happens if you take buried treasure consecutively as your augments.
