Persona 2: Innocent Sin

WOW, what a game! Narratively, this game exceeded all expectation. For me, this is easily the best Persona story (and 3-5 are great!). Gameplay was grindy, but I played on emulator with a turbo button, so it didn't significantly worsen my experience

9/10

Final Fantasy X

Fantastic game. Great story with great turn based combat. Had a handful of early 2000s-ism that didn't age well but otherwise not a while lot to complain about. One of the best main casts I've seen in a JRPG, just wish the villains were on that same level

9/10

@Yeastmodee @ForsetiNE If I traveled for a major and missed my pool because of this I'd be asking for a full refund.

Were you given an explanation for this?

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

@davo25441 Oh trust me, I'm aware. He beats me with random fairly regularly lol

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

Not sure which is worse, the fact that there's a random main in the top half or the fact that there's 3 Mii Gunners on the list

@david_ssb5 @LeviathanLx This is dangerous though because if the default is to not believe the victims, less victims will come forward.

I like to believe the victims when they come forward with things like this, while still acknowledging that it could be a false accusation. Its on the accused to defend

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

Everyone is reading this like L4st trying to come back to the community but...doesn't he basically have to do this? He's a public figure facing defamation. Even if he did it he's not legally guilty so he kind of needs to clear himself, even if he has no intention of returning.

Regarding Ryan “L4st” Krichbaum

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

@therealchi18322 I think it's precedent from t pot doing it before and they're just assuming the same

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

@LeviathanLx That's exactly how I'm reading this. I'm not gonna defend the guy but I acknowledge that outside of smash this still needs to be done

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

I'm thinking if he's going for a normal career or something, his future employer would surely google his name and find these accusations. He's going to want a defense for that, even if he doesn't interact with the smash scene again.

Am I the only person who's played every Fire Emblem and still loves Three Houses?

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

Some dude at the OneUp venue (not here for the tournament) is playing Persona 5 on the PS5 and just got to *that* part and spoiled everyone in the room LMAO

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

Persona 2 is an interesting game because you're just casually saving people from a terrorist attack at your white kung-fu girlfriend's J-pop concert, then minutes later you are accused of summoning demons for the Führer.

@xdabluesfan @Road_Guy_Colin I was counting the 2001-2002 season, so we have:

'02 Wings
'08 Wings
'13 Hawks

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

@xdabluesfan @Road_Guy_Colin 13% of the Stanley Cup winners since 2002 won the Presidents Trophy. That seems low, but that's tied for the highest amongst any possible seed.

Based on this data it paints the picture that seed doesn't usually matter. And the claim that the 1 seed "never comes close" is false.

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

So do y'all want developer/publisher support or not?

[SoneroGGs @SoneroGGs]

"I wanted to force my game on Sunday so much that I screwed over other ones with organic commumitiws that would also want that spot but its fine because I saw smash in 2016."

I need at least one week without a smasher doing or saying something weird shit. This is nonsense.

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

@PlayedXeno For sure. A game like SMB1 definitely needs to count frames. But the idea of a universal solution makes no sense

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

Xenoblade 2 is a 4 hour game that had the same players tied for first TWICE in its history. We don't count milliseconds.

The "unnecessary problem" was we just had two record holders for a bit. No big deal

[AndrewG @AndrewGspeedrun]

All speedruns should track milliseconds. It creates unnecessary problems in the future if you don't.

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

It's actually wild to me that nobody involved with the creation of this game thought that this was a problem

Radiant Dawn is taking a long time for me to complete, and this stupid fucking walking animation is the reason why

(Not to downplay the seriousness of this stuff, but I'm here for discussions and memes not drama and witch hunting)

[Hybrid? / Mack Chabot @MackChabot]

My Smash feed occasionally resurfaces discussions of rape and SA accusations, so I catered my feed to focus more on pro hockey. Unfortunately, that circle is now also full of rape and SA accusations.

Anyone got any fun circles or is Twitter just like this now?
