I admit... I watch Twitch streams of other people playing Persona games, and almost every time I am triggered by less-than-perfectly-economic use of SP. It really annoys me to see. 😂 I can only presume that my first bad experience of an SP shortage (Kamoshida's Palace, circa 2017) traumatised me in ways I did not fully appreciate.

If I go into Tartarus I'm not leaving until I've absolutely run out of SP, damn it!

Not sure if Akihiko being 5 levels lower than the rest of my team when he turns up is the game intentionally playing into his "I've been slacking off for a month, need to get back up to speed" angle, or just evidence that I did too much grinding. 😅

I'm sure giving spotlight-seeking PL referees a shiny new kind of punishment to dish out for very subjective incidents won't cause any controversy at all.

Concur with the above and the only thing I'd add is that in P3 it pays to poke around and try different activities. Some are more rewarding than others, but there's quite a lot of hidden bits and pieces hidden behind them that you will simply never know you missed otherwise. E.G. spending time with one character for a while will sometimes introduce you to another character, and so on.

I'm told this was the case in OG P3 as well (but possibly not in Portable), but I am infuriated that the EXP number it shows you at the end of a battle has to go through hidden calculations before it gets split between your party - like a % modifier depending on your relative level to the enemy and such. E.G. beating a weak enemy for "55 EXP" actually ends up being a total of 16 EXP shared 5/5/6 between party members. I'm not against the mechanic of penalising EXP against weaker enemies. I just want to be told the bloody truth without having to go into the Stats menu before and afterwards to do maths.

Chelsea are of course fucking awful, and I have no idea what they spend all week doing in training unless it's practising the art of flapping around uselessly.

My copy of P3R just got delivered to my house, but of course I'm not there for another two days am I. 🙄 Tactica got delivered two days early when I pre-ordered that. Could I be as lucky twice? Noooooope.

Re: Broja - two possible interpretations of this move: 1) The board are banking on no new injuries of any kind ever. 2) They know we'll be done with the cups soon and they literally don't give a fuck about the league. Unless Broja plays infinitely better for Fulham than he has for Chelsea (not in any way impossible), he'll be back in the summer and that'll have been a whole waste of time.

Joe probably looked at our recent home games against Championship teams and lacked the brain cells necessary to apply context.

First time I've seen Casadei and my takeaway is that he needs a better haircut.

Nkunku is just about our only outfield player with any class atm. Nice that he can score but of course even he can't overcome the penalty calls.

I went into this match with no expectations - and lo, we have been dogshit (and Chilwell has been embarrassing). But the officiating has been so one-sided it's wound me up so much more than I thought I could be.

Every time I rewatch Tron Legacy I am confronted by how thoroughly average its writing is, but god damn I just love its vibe so much.

Fair play to the EFL for making use of what bargaining chips they have.

"Told you a Chelsea final was inevitable," says my Liverpool-supporting friend. At 4-0 (4-1), I concede this. But the audacity of him to text me that at 2-0 (2-1)...

Nah, his original flight to London just got diverted all the way to Istanbul because of Storm Isha, and that's who he's having to fly back with.

Waiting patiently for the masses to cry foul over this Newcastle sale like they did for Chelsea's last summer.

I can only assume that Toney has been on the same PR training that Lukaku had.

Is 'Gift or Ban' the new 'Cake or Death'?

Thiago Silva getting prepped for cyborg implants as we speak.

Mourinho sacked by Roma less than an hour ago and already the stupider parts of Chelsea twitter are foaming at the mouth for the idea of Turn 3.

The fact that Everton are already getting charged again must mean they're just really, really bad at hiding it compared to everyone else.

Chelsea striker-who-we-all-forgot-existed, DD Fofana, has returned from his loan at Union Berlin and will be heading off on loan to Burnley instead. This is all to facilitate Ian Maatsen's loan to Borussia Dortmund, what with those foreign loan limits that now exist. I presume that Burnley will go "lol that's nice" and barely ever play him, just like most of Chelsea's loans to bottom-half PL teams.
