Ah yes, the genre where literally two of the biggest running in-jokes are killing god and giant anime titties has always been a favorite of conservative Christian households.
current status:

making up a parallel world where JRPGs are right wing media and Christian households didn't find them objectionable

Me: *casts Elec Break on the final boss*

Everyone else at the party: Soooo…it’s been four hours. Can we maybe switch over to the game?
I sincerely hope you were hogging the main TV doing this lol

What? No. Blatantly slip my own fetishes onto my characters? I would never...

...barely disguise that.

I actually have the weirdest mental association between Super Bowl Sunday and Persona because I first beat Persona 4 on Super Bowl Sunday, 2009. I have a fond and vivid memory of taking down the final boss while eating a plate full of Super Bowl snacks.

My fancast for Nanako in Persona 4 Revival is Holly Segarra. I really liked her in World’s End Club and Monark.

It's official! One day from now on! The Nian-Xi Chronicles: Prelude is releasing on February 9th!!!

Thank you everybody who tried the demo, and those who playtested the full version. This would not have been possible without you.

The average cop salary in 2011 was 4 million yen, which was around $50,000 at the time.

And I can't imagine rent in Inaba is THAT high, even if things got more expensive when Junes came to town.

I think Adachi just sucks with money.

There was a movie called Devil about people being trapped in an elevator with the devil and they know the devil is there because they drop toast and it lands jelly side down.

Wow, like not to harp on the negatives here but...seeing it all laid out really does showcase how bad that Nintendo Direct was for me.

Like I went in expecting "Yeah, a bunch of existing games are gonna be on Switch 2 now" but I truly expected more newly announced titles than THIS.
