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

spoilerI 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 have been playing a bunch of Street Fighter 6, learning a fighting game is fun! I was playing Ed, but he is bit to complex for me right now so I started Akuma, saw a video about what to do in the low ranks with him and yesterday managed to climb up to Silver 2. Surprisingly I have been consistently anti-airing with his DP, which is something I always struggled with before. I have also started playing Guilty Gear Strive again and decided to pick Slayer, I'm usually a Testament player but wanted to try another character if I'm gonna really learn it, I have finished the placement matches and got one of the lower ranks but I don't remember which one right now.

I have also been playing the Avatar Legends The Fighting Game closed beta and it's pretty fun, but holy shit is it fast compared to these other two, two days ago I have started playing it and got my ass handled to me, but yesterday I managed to win quite a bit, today I'm yet to play and it's the last day of the beta, but I hope I win a few matches at least, so far I have been using Korra since she seems rather easy, but Toph looks sick.
