This means owning up to those inevitable "bad calls" and using them to better understand your learned impulses/reactions, and consequently, use that understanding to take one step closer to unlearning your biases.

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

Something that we as non-black ppl in media need to be aware of is that media as it stands now teaches us to view black lives as commodities. It's our job to not only unlearn this, but to do our part to change media so that it no longer reinforces this limited, cruel perspective.

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

This means not writing about the loss of an important black celebrity as if it were the loss of an IP in a franchise. This means checking your colleagues when they make "bad calls." This means checking YOURSELF, always, when you make "bad calls," because you inevitably will.

who even... approves a headline like that anyway

@EpicSwitzer @thegamerwebsite @bellablondeau @RealChipotleSam @sergiosolorzano @mshelenashcroft @whitneymeers @ccarleee @PhinTTV Aloy is the ONLY fictional white girl i make exceptions for because she's my DAUGHTER and also white privilege doesn't exist anymore in her universe (don't talk to me about the meta racial implications from the devs tho)

@EpicSwitzer @thegamerwebsite @bellablondeau @RealChipotleSam @sergiosolorzano @mshelenashcroft @whitneymeers @ccarleee @PhinTTV EXCUSE ME THERE IS ONLY ONE WHITE WOMAN ON MY LIST (minus the bonus mentions)

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@EpicSwitzer @thegamerwebsite @bellablondeau @RealChipotleSam @sergiosolorzano @mshelenashcroft @whitneymeers @ccarleee @PhinTTV no, just surprised!

@EpicSwitzer @thegamerwebsite @bellablondeau @RealChipotleSam @sergiosolorzano @mshelenashcroft @whitneymeers @ccarleee @PhinTTV riku kingdom hearts???

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@Kranitoko sorry about the late response - thanks for reaching out! it just means the money reading to make sure you get bonus yen for finishing on an all-out attack!

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@RealChipotleSam @instaghibli think of it like orpheus and eurydice - she'll find haku later in life BECAUSE she didn't look back!!!

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@Kranitoko yup, sorry about that - I played the game in korean, and assumed they would localize it to consultant. it'll be fixed in a future update!

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@Kranitoko It only takes one playthrough! and, honestly, if you didn't care too much about optimizing your team's combat capability to the best possible, you don't even have to save scum: our guide involves a lot of free time after mid-november.

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@NewhouseNate The confidant dates have been planned out to fit neatly with each other as much as possible, so I'd recommend staying with it - but it's not too big of a deal if you freestyle it if you don't mind spending a lot of time in november/december catching up on confidants!

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

If you have questions about the persona walkthrough, simply @ me and I'll respond as soon as possible - I'm only available during daytime hours in Korea, however, so apologies in advance if I take a little while to answer!

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

@NewhouseNate Theoretically, you COULD do this, but it's risky: the confidants sometimes follow a kind of stupid schedule where they won't be available at a certain date unless you hung out with them the previous week, so it's a little tricky to anticipate which confidants you can switch out

[Corin MJ Bae @asunnybaecation]

.... having hyperactive empathy and watching someone you care about play Getting Over It is one of the most stressful experiences in gaming
