I’m at just near the end of Persona 3 Reload and a particular character had a monologue about losing a friend and wanting to be there for them, just about life and what that means, and man… it really got me. More and more the game has truly blown me away.

hey i wrote a thing

massively disappointed in supertrick and gungho for what would have otherwise been a decent (but still not quite hitting the mark) let it die followup
I shouldn't have to write a lengthy critique of the use of genAI while discussing a series that, historically, has celebrated art & music. Do not buy Let It Die: Inferno, or realistically, any game that uses generative AI. Our review: www.rpgsite.net/review/19037...

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Damn Persona 3 Reload is so good.

I am finally getting to Persona 3 Reload (got past where I had gotten to before 9/23, and am into November now) and goddamn. Akihiko is the fucking best. Alejandro Saab did incredible work here.

Ten years apart. So much of me has changed, not just my face. I like to hope I am a whole new and much better person now.

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered.

Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙
