The only thing keeping Reload from being the *definitive* Persona 3 experience is the omission of the female protagonist's campaign from Persona 3 Portable. It's unfortunate, but maybe a separate release in the future? 🤞

Included as extra content in the original P3FES, "The Answer" explored the aftermath of the main game's good ending, and was in many ways just as unsettling, heartbreaking, and cathartic. /3

I'm happy to say Atlus went to enormous efforts to honor the original experience while making smart additions to improve playability. I have high hopes for the upcoming DLC, "Episode Aigis -The Answer-". /2

What I played: Persona 3 Reload (PS5, 2024) Developed and published by Atlus A complete remake of the classic Persona 3 FES with countless QOL enhancements, an updated OST, and an exceptional voice cast. I loved P3FES and was broken by its story, and I wondered if P3R would do it justice. /1

Randomly remembering Nintendo's Game Boy Micro, a tiny Game Boy Advance with a 2-inch screen that came out *after* the DS. It's a cute lil gadget, but I never could understand who was the intended customer for this thing. If hand cramps and eye strain were a console, this was undoubtedly it.

--and could never fully do justice to the real-life events it portrayed. Still, kudos to A24 for bringing this story to a mainstream audience. /2

What I watched: The Iron Claw (2023) The story of the legendary Von Erich wrestling family, pushed to tragedy by their patriarch's obsession with success at all costs. Should've been a limited series; as a feature it struggled to give enough time to its many threads-- /1

What I watched:

Battle Royale (2000)

The Japanese cult classic that spawned an entire genre. In an economically and socially devastated Japan, lawless high school students are sent to a deserted island where they must fight each other to be the lone survivor. Bleak and darkly satirical.

What I watched: Kimagure Orange Road: I Want to Return to That Day (1988) While preparing for graduation and university, Kyosuke must choose between his two love interests -- young, infatuated Hikaru and mature, elegant Madoka. A poignant and bittersweet finale to the classic 80s anime series.

What I played:

Super Mario Odyssey (2017, Nintendo Switch)
Developed and published by @nintendousa.bsky.social

A fun 3D Mario adventure with a clever body-swapping mechanic (the horrific implications of which should not be dwelled upon for long) and lots of widgets to collect!

Considering we've had Beast Wars characters featured prominently in recent toylines and in Rise of the Beasts, I feel like it was a real missed opportunity for Hasbro not to re-release the original BW animated series on Blu-Ray. It's been out of print for *ages*. #Transformers

Finally started reading Black River Orchard by @chuckwendig.bsky.social and there's a prologue chapter that describes the multisensory experience of eating an apple in nearly pornographic detail.

What I read: Insert Groom Here (2017) By K.M. Jackson Stung by a high-profile breakup, PR expert Eva Ward reluctantly agrees to star in a reality dating series to find her perfect groom and repair her image. But when sparks fly with hotshot producer Aidan Walker, her plans threaten to fall apart!

What I played: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (2021, Nintendo Switch) Developed/published by Spike Chunsoft Elite students at Hope's Peak Academy are forced to participate in a killing game, turning friends into foes! Highly stylish, deeply disturbing, and endlessly compelling.

The Eras Tour on Disney+ was pretty good, but I was kinda shocked during "August" when Taylor abruptly stopped the song when she noticed a guy in the floor section devouring a nacho tray, and just started tearing into him Like full on cussing the guy out for ruining the atmosphere 1/2

I'd like to think you should judge a movie as a total package...

That said, when the first five minutes of #Babylon include elephant projectile diarrhea and a golden shower, I feel justified in saying I don't need to see the other 3 hours.

That's a Not For Me, boss.

What I played: Forspoken (PS5, 2023) This game was (unfairly IMO) dogpiled at launch. The truth is, it's a solid middle-of-the-road open world RPG that might have some pacing issues, but features super fun traversal and battle mechanics, and a story that delivers if you're patient.

Agreed. There was some debate over on Threads about whether moviegoers understood what ST was back in the day. My gut feeling is most people didn't, including critics (I can't say I totally got it either). It was promoted as a dumb, bombastic action flick. I appreciate it *much* more now.

What I watched: Starship Troopers (1997) Not my first watch, but since it's back in the zeitgeist thanks to surprise game hit Helldivers 2, I had to revisit Starship Troopers. A searingly satirical portrait of a fascist, militaristic society, Verhoeven's film resonates more today than did in 1997.

What I watched: The Marvels (2023) Don't believe the negativity about this movie. The Marvels has all the chaotic energy, sense of fun, and relentless momentum of a Saturday morning cartoon, with a likable cast and great action scenes. An entertaining flick!

For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards.

Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3

What I watched: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) More nostalgia act than sequel, your enjoyment is likely to depend on how much you needed closure for Indy and his cast of supporting characters. FWIW a better cap to the series than Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls.
