Strain42 but on Bluesky

...this might be the most "clickbait" thumbnail I've ever done.

Yellow text. Red circles. Arrows. I gots it all!

Like in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time whenever you die and Yuri Lowenthal is like "No, wait...that's not what happened"

Siren's Call: Second Wind - Love Is In The Air A thought-provoking, atmospheric visual novel where the line between dream and reality has shattered completely.

Siren's Call: Second Wind has a week left and is only $500 from getting funded! C'mon folks, chip in if you can, or just repost to help spread the word! The first game was great, the demo was awesome! Let's get this Catherine inspired horror VN! www.kickstarter.com/projects/194...

A good workaround to this could be having a SEMI New Game Plus.

Like you get the Accomplice Ending, unlock the Persona, save your NG+ Data, but then when you load the game, it takes you back to before the decision rather than the very start of the game.

Not sure how feasible that would be.

If it wasn't SUPER obvious from all my recent posts, I'm working on a Persona 4 related video lol

GreyJ's new YouTube show

"Is it Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts? An in-depth look at different video games to determine if they are or are not Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts"

Taking the Accomplice Ending should have unlocked a Magatsu-Izanagi-no-Okami. Like actually offer different rewards for completing the two different arcanas associated with that social link.

That would provide an actual incentive to ever get this ending beyond just morbid curiosity.

Here's the link to it if anyone is curious! www.romhacking.net/hacks/9447/

Oh hell yeah! That's a sweet deal!

Apparently it's a romhack of the original FFA (aka Seiken Densetsu 1) so yeah, it really captures that vibe perfectly!

I just learned about a brand new Series of Mana fan game called Embers of Mana and...oh my god, this looks fantastic.

YES!

Like normally I'm way more prepared! But like...fuck, I had other stuff on my mind so I didn't even realize today was the Spring Forward!

I did not know today was daylight savings day so it's messing with me a lot more than usual.

Like what do you mean it's already like 5:30!?

There’s something I really love about Johnny’s performance as Adachi in Ultimax. Like he was always a great Adachi, but it’s clear he wanted to further differentiate Adachi and Yu in Ultimax

It’s hard to describe but it’s like…a little higher and more…flippant? Like he’s clearly having way more fun

Ah yes, like my favorite malt liquor energy drink

(sorry, bad photoshop. I'm sleepy)

Sorry, I know my posts have been a little chaotic today.

I've been working on this video for like 12 hours and I think I fried my brain around hour 9. I should probably just get some sleep.

An important thing to remember about the Phantom Idols in Persona5: The Phantom X is that their designs do not represent their "rebellion" like the main P5 cast, but their DESIRES.

Minami wants to heal people, Leo wants to be a hero, Runa wants me to collar her and call her my good uwu puppy girl

To clarify, I wouldn't mind so much if they were just a little consistent.

For example, for the first Persona 30th stream they said they would not show any game news. Cool!

They did NOT say that for the second stream and then they...proceeded to not show any games news. ...cool.

I love this pic of Naoto from Ultimax

A visual representation of tuning into an Atlus presentation and expecting game news:

Yes. It WAS important that I put this image together for my next video.

OKAY OKAY OKAY!

I'd seen this FIRST pic of Katherine from the Destiny Child crossover and yeah, loved it.

BUT HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THESE OTHER TWO UNTIL TODAY!? HOLY CRAP!!! 🥵🥵🥵

I love this panel so much that I edited it into a reaction meme that I'm...PRETTY sure I have used at least once upon seeing you/art of you 😂

(and the context of the real panel is Niccolo just gave him an autographed picture of Quistis from FF8, which...valid, Toto. Valid)

In the Persona 4 anime, Yu is instructed to wrap Eri's head wound in something "long and clean" so he uses Ai's scarf.

But like...dude, that scarf was in a tree! I wouldn't call it clean! She's lucky it didn't get infected!

I do like Shiloh's hair better, I'll admit! And that does match his in-game design a bit more.

I think I mainly just prefer Toto's smoother midriff 😅 and his expressions in Echoes of Mana were all great because they based it on Amano's style.

...That's odd. I don't remember posing for this drawing, but that's...I mean that's clearly me, right?

Seems like he's a pretty solid go to for Square *nod nod*

I still prefer his softer, dorkier Toto over the canonical Shiloh for the Legend of Mana protagonist, especially in the mobile game where we actually got to see them side by side.
