@TheFrenchiestFry and they both have quailty titles. Sometimes.

@HotGoomba Persona is way more consistent than Pokemon. At least at its worst Persona doesn't really create a divide amongst its fans, and even then, there really isn't a single bad main entry in that series. They all range from ok, to incredible at their absolute best. Even the spinoffs apart from P3D and P5D are top tier stuff.

@TheFrenchiestFry huh, honestly i dont know too much about persona but it looks really good. I'd say consistency is what makes pokemon bad though in a way, or rather a consistency of only the parts people didnt like coming back. every gen seems to add more of whatever the last's biggest complaint was, remove something people enjoyed (megas, hidden side areas, exp share off, etc), and add something new, which i mean, stuff like the wild area is good, but i'm talking more about Z-moves and D/G maxing

@Christofu Pokemon's consistency comes from the fact that they play it too safe

Persona experiments with different styles, settings, characters and mechanics with each installment like any other MegaTen series but they are far better in terms of sheer quality and breadth of content than most mainstream JRPGs in my experience, and that includes Pokemon

Even the spinoffs like Arena, Q, P4D and Scramble are great companions to the main entries.

I love Luigi's Mansion 2. I like 1, but most of the complaints about 2 not being "open like 1 was" don't make sense to me. The first one needs you to get certain abilities/ items to proceed just like with the second one, and while the Portrait ghosts were great, the original combat, enemies and puzzles were quite bland in comparison to the second one. I also loved exploring different mansions, which were quite unique and that you could explore entirely in the last missions of each mansion. Oh an the animation is much better in the second one. I'm not counting the 3DS remake of the first one by the way, since I didn't play it. I'm talking about the original gamecube one. I have the third game already but haven't played it because I started other games. I'm dying to play it though.

The persona fandom has been too small and inactive to be divided.

With the last game getting mainstream popularity though, things may change in the future.

There's going to be a heat wave that will last for 3 days in my city, ending after friday.
I hope I'm able to handle it lol, it's gonna be like 38°C.

I'll never forget the time I had an argument with my mute brother and he said "God wasted that mouth on you".

@Rexenoboy I wouldn't imagine they'd do it alone. More, that they would be working with another studio or two even. They've done so in the past.

I haven't been following it, but how is Stadia now? Has it improved?

@Eel
Smash Fans pretending to be Persona Fans just to beg for Persona 5 on Switch: Allow us to introduce ourselves.

@Apportal Thats kinda funny, but did he use like sign language to tell you that or did he text you that?

@HotGoomba he texted me. I don't know Sign Language that well...

I remember reading this old gaming magazine that had a Kid Chameleon walkthrough.
I was always impressed by it. First because Kid Chameleon is this really long and hard Mega Drive platformer without any save function, cheats (I think) or even a password system.

Dudes just played this insanely difficult game for hours on end taking pics of the TV and without using any level warps, as you can see they gave details about every level. Mad skill, just mad skill.

@Vinny Not really. Games still cost $60 each, it can still be laggy at times, has less games then Xbox Game Pass, The recommended Controller is very meh, etc. I guess that there are more modern day titles than the competition, but with Xbox buying Bethesda and Game Pass having way more benefits, just get Game Pass Ultimate, there's more value, plenty of the games are on XCloud, you can play it on your TV through and HDMI to (Phone Connector) or Android TV, you get Xbox games day one, Bethesda Games Day One starting 2021, EA Play is included for free starting November (With Streaming), soon you can stream to your pc, there are plenty of indies, you don't need an Xbox to play Game Pass (as long as you have an Android Phone and a controller), you have many more options on Controllers, including the Dualshock 4 and maybe the Switch Pro Controller, and it's only $15 a month, and you don't have to pay extra on Seperate Games.

@Link-Hero He's autistic. So, I think it's a little bit of both. He was born with mild damage to his brain, but his diagnosis may play a bigger part in that role.

The little bit I mentioned above happened early this year. We were raised learning sign-language but I never got the hang of it. Neither did my mute brother. He's still living with my parents (Only 14) so I don't have to worry too much about him for a while.

Well I certainly haven’t been here much recently. Moving back into work is taking energy, so I haven’t had time. I really only joined this in May for something to do in Quarantine.

I've been eagerly waiting for my new iPod, and started using the old family iPad again, just for nostalgic fun. It's a first generation iPad, so it's... Severely outdated. Like a little time capsule. It has that charm to it.

Much to my surprise, Netflix is still entirely and perfectly compatible with it. That's so odd because youtube refuses to load anything. Huh. Several older games also work quite well on it.

It's hard to believe it's just 10 years old, it definitely feels older! All things considered, it's in excellent shape though. That's good.

Are those smart bands like the Mi Band good if I just want a device to see the hours and count my steps, or are those fancier smartwatches with more features a better value?

I watched the US presidential debate.

I should've stayed in my room.

But I can confidently say that even the youngest students I have taught are better behaved.
