Hey everybody. Hope you are all doing okay and staying cool during the summer heat. This week I finished my playthrough of the Persona 3 remake. Overall, I enjoyed the game and cast of characters. Unlike Persona 5 (my only prior experience with the series), I liked the life sim stuff over the dunegon crawling, mainly due to Tartarus being very repeatative with sparse enemy variety. I ended up 4 ranks short of maxing out all Social Links, which really irritated me. My one really big gripe is that

I really didn't like that the protagonist dies at the very end. I perfectly understand that it fits the themes of the game about life being fleeting, so you better spend it with the people you love, and the ultimate Persona you can fuse is Messiah, who gave his life to save mankind the way the protagonist does, but it really bummed me out. I guess since ive only played Persona 5 that my expectations were aligned with that game's rather cheery "Its not goodbye, its see you later" ending

Anyway, I am doing a NG+ run to max out all social links. Besides P3, my brother has returned from his vacation, and we have resumed our playthrough of Elden Ring seamless coop. We are nearing the end of the base game, but I am planning on forcing him to buy the DLC to play when we are done with that. I hope everyone has a good week

i decided to start a marathon of the dark forces/jedi knight series for nostalgia purposes, though i'm using the upgraded ports/versions/etc

if anyone would also like to do this, here's the stuff i used (instructions are for linux because that's what i run):

Dark Forces: The Force Engine but the flatpak version because otherwise it does not play nice on my system. As for the files, i'm using my ancient legally purchased steam version, but it should also work with the GOG version
Dark Forces 2: OpenJKDF2, again flatpak because it plays nice with my system. and again, i bought DF2 years ago on steam, but this should also work
Mysteries of the Sith: same as above, but you need the files, this should also work. just click "Expansions and Mods" on the DF2 menu to install it/play it
Jedi Outcast: I used Lutris for this one, with the "Linux GOG + OpenJK + mods version" option (third one down) using the files from here
Jedi Academy: Lutris again, with the "Wine GOG + Enhanced mod version" option and the files from here

I really need to go back and finish Dark Forces II, it's like right at the edge of my jank tolerance and I keep dropping it halfway through. It's a shame too because Jedi Outcast is soooooo good
