Capcom when forced to pitch a new Dead Rising:
I’m not exaggerating when I say that Setsuna could easily kill the Demi-Fiend, Nahobino, and Joker with ease. He is truly the most powerful protagonist in the franchise

There is an official DemiKids Medabots crossover and I can’t express how disappointed I am that both of these franchises are dead in the west

Soooo...Persona 4...how does it feel to be the bronze medal?

I will admit that I'm VERY picky about anime. It's super rare that I actually get invested in one.
I had multiple people whose opinions I respect tell me that they think I would LOVE Soul Eater and by the end of the first episode I genuinely believed that they were saying that insultingly...

If @harada-tekken.bsky.social can't officially have a Waffle House stage, just make it the Waffle Cafe
Then not only is it legally distinct, we can make the argument that Tekken exists in the same continuity as King of the Hill

Man, I am LOVING this retro TV. I wonder if whoever made it knows where I can get a high-quality sex toy

One change I DO genuinely hope Revival (specifically its localization) makes is making it clearer that Chie did NOT kick Yosuke in the dick.
He ran dick-first into the corner of the desk because he's a clumsy idiot. The Japanese version is clearer about this and PQ even references it.

Sho Minazuki got pulled into the Velvet Room and was invited to be a proper guest and went “Nah, fuck off, dick-nose”
No one else ever even THOUGHT to try that!

Shoutout to new and original characters who serve to bridge the continuities and themes of multiple Persona games together and incorporate elements of both titles' lore and mechanics.

Remember when the MANGA of all places actually gave him a much better and more compelling backstory than the game did?
If Ultimax had included an Episode Sho like Labrys' chapter from the first Arena, I guarantee he'd be seen as a way more memorable and fan-favorite antagonist.

No joke, I ship them.
I like to imagine Yukiko let Sho stay at the inn so they could attend Yasogami together as third years. He teaches her complex knife skills to improve her cooking, and Yukiko could always be firm enough to keep him in line, so they fell in love. Plus, she loves his red hair.

It obviously isn't because the character didn't exist when P4 first came out, but I'd like to once again bring up that it actually makes the most sense for this character to be Sho from Ultimax

And if anyone from Atlus needs me, I still have all my notes on how you can logically make Kashiwagi the culprit with minimal story changes!

If Final Fantasy VII, Danganronpa 2, Pokemon, and even Shin Megami Tensei V can do it, there's no good reason why Persona 4 can't.

They're not going to do it but I would have so much respect for Atlus if Revival actually did wind up being an alternative universe retelling of P4 that actually changed the culprit and narrative.
Golden is already on modern consoles. Do something bold and unique with this remake!

"Really? It's not 'barfly' like the adjective?"
"Barfly is not a word, Andy, and if it were, it would be an adverb. As in, the sewage oozed barfly."
One of my favorite random little bits from Mission Hill and may @thatbilloakley.com pass my compliments to whomever wrote that.

The VGA remake of Leisure Suit Larry 1. Sierra did a lot of VGA remakes of their existing titles, many of which weren't as good, but I dunno, I think the LSL one was the overall better experience, and a lot more visually charming.

I'm not saying I let Steam reviews decide my opinions for me. I do eventually want to try both of these games for myself, but like...dang, I'm glad I resisted the urge to buy them at launch for full price.
