My wishlist for Persona 5 after doing a (final?) replay of Persona 5 Royal

  1. A voiced protagonist. Or at least a protagonist that actually takes part in conversations. I never noticed before just how little the protagonist in P5R is involved in conversations. There are entire long text conversations in which he doesn't say a single word. And the plant has a bigger part in some discussions in the hideout.

  2. Female protagonist. Either only a female protagonist or at least the choice between male and female. It just should be a standard.

  3. No new team members three quarters through the game. Both Futaba and Haru could have a had a lot bigger parts in the story. At least introduce them as confidants early and let them become team members later.

  4. Shorter and tighter dungeons/palaces. Many of the palaces in P5R overstayed their welcome.

  5. Shorter tutorial, optional on replays. This gets really boring on replays.

  6. No endless periods of not being able to play the game. You can go out on exam days. There's no need to stay at home during exams. Or make it a mechanic. If you don't study before exams, you do worse in them. But stop taking away control for days on end, not for exams, not for any plot points. An occasional day here and there, but not entire weeks.

And one final observation, not a wish: Damn, the Japanese voices were so much better. This was my first Japanese playthrough after several English ones over the years and I liked everyone a lot more. Morgana is so much less annoying, it's not even funny.

Edit: Obviously a wishlist for Persona 6. Too bad you can't edit titles. 😂

Works great, until it doesn't.

I'm really satisfied with Surfshark on MacOS, when it actually works.

I keep having the same problem: Surfshark starts and works for many hours, 10, 20 hours. And then the Internet is dead from one second to the other and I have to close the app completely and restart it. Then it works great again.

It happens every single day. Not when I close the laptop but while I am on the computer. One moment any page loads without a problem, then the entire connection is dead.

CleanWeb, Kill Switch, Bypaser, everything is turned off. I use the Dausos protocol, because it gives me the best speed by far. I always use my dedicated IP, which is in my home country.

Anybody with the same problem and a solution?

With Digital Game Sales at 90%, Capcom Appears Unfazed By Sony's Disc-Free Future

Yeah, so much for the "boycott" and all the whining.

The real "boycott" is people boycotting physical releases and it has been running for years. 😂

Performance on PS5 Pro?

I know there was no offical PS5 Pro patch, so is the quality mode still capped at 30fps or was it uncapped and could now benefit from the PS5 Pro?

Great game, but there's one thing that you just can't get over. Which game is this for you?

I really liked Star Wars: Outlaws, but you CANNOT knock someone out who wears a freaking HELMET!

That's literally the reason you wear a helmet.

And every time this happens, it completely takes me out of the game. And no matter how hard I try, I can't get past that.

Which game is this for you? You like 99% of the game, but there's one small thing that just ruins it for you?

Have you played "The Artful Escape" yet?

I bought "The Artful Escape" after playing Mixtape, but only got around to playing it until now. It's the earlier game by Beethoven & Dinosaur.

It's completely different from Mixtape but really creative. It's a side-scroller with some mild rhythm-game elements, but they are so easy that even I could do them.

There isn't much of a story, it's more an experience than a cohesive story. Voice acting is great, they hired some minor celebrities, unlike for Mixtape.

You can easily finish it in three hours, I got all but two trophies in my first playthrough and there was a chapter select after you finished the game, so I could easily get the two missed trophies.

It's cheap, it's entertaining, it's an easy platinum trophy.

Does DrunkenSlug ever offer lifetime memberships?

Maybe on BlackFriday? Have they ever done this in the past?

I am a member, I am not asking for an invite.

Unsubscribing from and muting r/PS6 until the hissy fit is over

This sub has turned into a sub for children crying about the death of physical releases and idiots karma farming by pretending to be one of the children.

And the mods do nothing.

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 - Inspiration for the Game?

Today I almost accidentally watched the music video for Smashing Pumkins' "1979" for the first time in a long while and it immediately made me think of Mixtape.

It has the exact kind of vibe as the game.

Watch the video and tell me if I'm wrong or not:

MyAEW - Please clean up the main page

It seems like every time I open the page they've added a new category. No, I don't want to see the PPV archive, Fan Favorite Matches, Top Moments of the Week or AEW Dark. I just want yesterday's episode.

Being able to configure the main page would be a great feature, maybe a more important feature than finally allowing us to fast forward with the arrow keys or use Space to pause/start the video.

I Played the Game That Hates Gameplay and I Have Thoughts

Another very good (positive) video about Mixtape. It's about gameplay in general, but there are some great thoughts on Mixtape in the middle of the video.

The grifters have moved on to "God of War: Laufey"

Well, it's been fun laughing at all the right-wing incel grifters making video after video about Mixtape, but all good things must come to an end.

Looks like their next battlefield will be "God of War: Laufey", because how can Sony dare to have a female protagonist without giant boobs and jiggle physics in a game.

That will keep them busy until the next trailer for "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet" comes out.

What a sad life these creatures lead.

One of the very few fair and balanced videos about the game on YouTube

I'm not the creator of the video, it just ended up on my home page. I was getting ready for another incel grifter video, but this turned out to be one of the very few good videos on the game.

Regarding Provider Deals

I recently set up everything for usenet, it's working great, I've been missing out.

Because I started out now, I couldn't get deals for some of the providers and indexers I'm using now.

Now my question: When the deals, be it King's Day or Black Friday, are running, can you stack up and buy several additional years on your currently running accounts or are they just for new customers with new accounts?
