Oh boy my favorite game series!

Admittedly the ones I’ve played the most are 3, 4 and 5, although I’ve tried 2 a couple times a while back. I wouldn’t mind doing it again, I just don’t remember why I kept bouncing off of it.

3 is my favorite, and admittedly I played it at a younger age than I probably should have, as a teenager. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it after getting the ending spoiled to me online, but I always had a fondness for the game and I preordered Reload as soon as I could. I will finish it this time. Mitsuru my love.

4 is my second favorite. Kanji and Naoto in particular really always stood out to me and I used to go by Kanji online for a long time. I made a character who spun into an oc with just traits inspired by him too, who is one of my favorites to write.

5 is fine but my least favorite of the bunch, even though I know a lot of people who only like that one. I felt the pacing was poor and the escalation of the severity of what the adults did wasn’t really going in order. I also didn’t feel any real attachment to the characters, in sharp contrast to the other two games I’ve played.

It still irks me every time a teacher and student romance comes up, or the times the games have been phobic. I wish we had the option to maybe pick between a masc/fem/androgynous looking protag and slap our own pronouns on them and romance who we wanted out of the options regardless of those selections, but I know that’s not ever the game Persona is gonna be. I’m happy they included content warnings at least in Reload.

I don’t believe it does, as someone stuck in hoyoverse hell. They “get away with” quite a lot that I’m surprised censors don’t challenge them on besides.

I don’t know anything about other Chinese games though.

My english lavender almost died, but I realized in time that it was getting too much water. It’s thinned out some in the center but seems to be growing outwards pretty well and it’s blooming again. I’ll take it as a win.

My aloe and haworthia are still going pretty strong! I’ll have to take a picture of them sometime. The aloe developed a brown center but is still growing and there are more stalks(?) growing out of the center even, so I think it’s okay still?

My mom recently got a tropical hibiscus that I’m not sure I’ve mentioned before. I’m not a big fan of it, because it blooms one day and the next day the blooms are on the ground.

Man, I love her music so much! Thank you for reminding me of it, I’m gonna go give her a listen again.

The Tetris cover is one of my favorites. I also have a soft spot for the Pokemon and Super Mario Bros one.
