Well, brightside is it saves you a few thousand dollars on renouncing your citizenship. It isn't a cheap or easy process normally.

I like SMTV, but if you are coming from Persona it is a VERY different experience. Persona is a much more narrative spinoff series from the original SMT franchise. SMT games you are typically alone, with just a party of the monsters you recruit to help you. Consequently there isn't a whole lot of dialog. There is some story, but in most SMT games it tends to be very back-heavy.

SMT games do tend towards bleak, depressing and extremely difficult. They usually do have multiple narrative paths/endings to give it some replay value. They are really for people who enjoy those kinds of gameplay systems first and foremost.

Haven't done either.

Good to know, may gave it a shot later and see. Cheers

Does this hold up pretty well if you've never seen any star wars? I have heard good things but usually from people who have consumed star wars content for like 20 years.

The absolute easiest way for me in general is Stremio + a Debrid service (ala Real-Debrid). Not only is it super safe and simple, but the UI of Stremio is way more user friendly than most actual streaming platforms.

Admittedly there is a fee for a debrid service, but it pays for itself in about 45 minutes.

If I had 700k in savings I could probably retire right now, nevermind when I was 67.
Says he still has an outstanding mortgage, but how much could he possibly have left to pay off??

Some of my favourite games were JRPGs growing up. I always had the impression that while CRPGs gave the player a lot more freedom, I found JRPGs were more about telling one really good curated story.

Games like the early Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, and basically anything Squaresoft put out "back in the day" were among my favourite gaming experience.

These days, whether due to my tastes changing, more limited time, or just the genre shifting in a way that doesn't appeal to me, I play very very few JRPGs. A lot have gone the route of the heavily anime-inspired fanservice vehicles that just aren't really what I ever liked about the genre.

I still will play the heck out of a Persona game though.

I feel we have been hovering right around there for a while now.

Look, I fully understand this is a case of doing a good thing for probably the wrong reasons/by accident, but yoooo I will take it.

But man, the easy pickings for Shit Reactionaries Say will be gone.

I have about the same position on this. A lot (though not all) of these people are insufferable, though we don't have nearly as many in my country as the US does. Being annoying on the internet is, thankfully, not something people get deported for however.

Nor does it mean I wish them death, which is likely what would happen if they were sent back. Their death and a prolonging of a war that is just going to kill even more.

Surely they don't actually think NATO is an equal partnership between them and the US, right?

 

That is really all I have to say, but Astrobot is just one of the most delightful games I have played in years. Nothing deep or life-changing, just pure simple fun. Very much in the Nintendo school of design philosophy, but I enjoy it more than anything Nintendo has put out recently.

Looks visually great, fantastic music, and a lot of interesting mechanics that never overstay their welcome. They are still the only studio who has really leveraged all the PS5 haptics well too. My partner won't let me play it by myself because she just enjoys watching it that much.

Basically, if you have a PS5 I strongly recommend it.
