Thinking about Gale this morning, and that comment he makes in the epilogue about how he uses the threat of the bomb in his chest as a classroom management strategy. And…my guy. That’s….As a high school English teacher, I’ve got some bad news.

That’s not a deterrent. That’s a fucking challenge.

#gale #gale dekarios #bg3 gale #the chaos #I just imagine the students take bets #how close can we bring our teacher to blowing up? #his supervisor is like…so your classroom management is threat of death? #cool cool cool #let’s maybe brainstorm some other options #because this isn’t real effective is it? #sloth speaks

i've been doing a bunch of tartarus runs in reload lately, and it got me thinking about how i miss certain ways FES's clunky gameplay can characterize minato… (ramble about the great clock mechanic + leveling up party members in reload vs fes under the cut)

when i got to yabbashah block in tartarus (block 3), i remember commending the developers for adding the great clock mechanic. it's a much more convenient way to keep party members at the protagonist's level- so when you think about p3 from the perspective of trying to make it easier for people to play, the mechanic succeeds in this respect.

but now that i'm in adamah block, and that i've done lots of my once-a-month tartarus runs… i think that i got a little too dependent on it, and the way that i played through reload feels like a vastly different experience from how i played FES.

in reload, my party's levels are very lopsided. minato, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, and fuuka are all level 90+, meanwhile junpei and aigis are at level 79, and then… poor ken and koromaru are at 71 and 64 respectively. (i never got to have a great clock for them…)

meanwhile, in FES, my party's levels were much more evenly distributed and were at least level 90. i did all of this manually for every monthly tartarus run because i enjoyed having options available for the taratarus guardians and monthly operations.

with how i perceive minato, i feel that the way i played FES feels more in-line with his character than me dawdling around waiting for the great clocks in reload.

FES's gameplay loop left me with the very strong impression that minato has to work twice as hard as everyone else in SEES does. it makes sense because, yeah, he's the leader, but something about having minato run through tartarus multiple times with different groups of people just to make sure that they are adequately prepared speaks volumes about his character, to me.

and while the tired mechanic is present in reload to some degree, most notably with allowing you to freely raise your courage stat when you visit edogawa after school… the tiredness system doesn't hit the same way that FES does, i think.

the way your party members in FES will call it quits when they return to the entrance floor at tartarus when they're tired, versus minato, in spite of all his tiredness and sickness, still pushes through tartarus because it's his responsibility…. idk!!! i miss that! i feel like this really hammers home the difference between minato and the rest of SEES, how minato doesn't really see himself as a human with needs worth respecting as long as he's useful to someone.

i don't think that tartarus being tedious (in FES especially) is not what most people would describe as fun, and i can respect people thinking it's a slog. but, regardless of how it feels to play, it doesn't change that FES's gameplay loop is a fundamental building block in how i perceive minato…

of course, i do recognize that you can just opt to NOT use the great clock in reload (and it's great when players are offered the choice to not partake in mechanics)! i definitely think that if someone really wanted to, they could manually level up party members, but i do feel that kind of playstyle isn't necessarily "incentivized" to the type of people who are into playing games for Having a Good Time. it's kind of like… "why would you do that when there's a much more convenient option available to you."

in any case! despite my woes, i do want to emphasize that i'm glad that reload has a much more smoother gameplay loop than the original P3 did, because it does make the game more accessible to people. having played both FES and reload, it feels very strongly apparent to me how the core gameplay formula of persona has really been refined in the past 18 years (to think og p3 was 2006 and reload is 2024.. time flies!). and reload has made revisiting a story that i love so dearly much, much easier because the gameplay just bops!

at the same time, due to my "i miss characterization informed by weird and dated FES gameplay quirks" woes, i still think that playing FES is worthwhile. (really, i feel this way about all iterations of p3! i think it's worthwhile to see what each version and side media has to say even if it doesn't Land™ for you.) but i also understand why people wouldn't want to play it, so i will keep writing posts about things i liked from FES's gameplay because i'm still very fond of FES (especially in respects to minato. these mechanics are so telling about him!!!) 💪

#lizzy speaks #persona 3 #persona 3 reload #<- specifically mentions of mechanics. no added story content just tartarus talk #minato arisato #today on lizz life: lizz wakes up THINKING about minato for the NTH time and is compelled to write a tumblr post about it #tartarus in reload is excellent looking and fun but i keep thinking about what i liked about how FES characterizes minato so #here i am... LOL... with my 790 or so word ramble... im so normal about the blue boy #i needed to get my feelings out there somewhere i just could not stop thinking about HIM HE IS IN MY BRAIN 24/7 #me playing reload last night like 'minato would not fucking wait for a great clock to make sure that SEES is adequately prepared.' #and yet my sloth brain awaits the great clock... LOL gameplay convenience is not lost on me #i'm stuck in tartarus rn im grinding rubies and stuff trying to get equipment so i can throw hands with elizabeth its going to be fun #im still not done with this game i continue to be haunted by tartarus i fucking love that tower unironically #uh usually id ramble more in tags but. go read my post!! because i like analyzing FES gameplay mechanics!! i am full of passion and love!

Oh my god!! Today, a whole three years after it finished, Clockwork Bird has hit 100,000 downloads!!

As my first ever show, it's a bit rough and ready, but I'm so delighted it has continued to have a dedicated little audience ever since its release in 2020-2021.

Although its growth has been slow and it's younger sibling SBR is now five times its size, I couldn't be prouder of this show, or more grateful for the people who engage with it. Making this show was a real journey. I sort of started making audio dramas simultaneous with starting to listen to them. It was lockdown, I couldn't find an agent for my novel, I was desperate to share my stories, and audio drama was the perfect medium. It's a unique and fascinating medium for storytelling which has so much to offer.

I'm so delighted that the audio drama space exists and that it has been a place where my stories have flourished and thrived and found excited, engaged audiences. I'm honoured to see developments in this space and meet storytellers pushing its boundaries. As this creative medium matures, I'm excited to see how new and experienced storytellers alike develop the format and use it to shape the stories they want to tell. It's such an exciting thing to be involved in, and to have been involved in over the last few years.

There will doubtless be more Feelings on Main in the next few days as SBR and NQD are BOTH poised to hit exciting milestones too.

I hope you all have a lovely rest of your day, and remember, folks: be a freak. I love you <3

I feel like I am about to make some very bad decisions regarding my masters final year project.

#we got the topics list from the faculty yesterday afternoon and apparently everyone already ran to grab the professors for their supervision #meanwhile I your resident sloth and lost cause don't know wtf is she even interested in #so I'm just mailing profs at 6 am and choosing topics like russian roulette #me: this one sounds relatively easy I'll take that #me: this one looks like a nightmare based on a very brief google search..... I'll take that #with my luck I'm 95% sure that I'll get responses like sorry we have already taken students :) #this week is gonna be hell :D #sky speaks #personal

Started a new play through of BG3 last night with a friend. She has no context for the game besides the fact it’s D&D and I play it. Upon meeting Astarion she goes, “Is he a vampire?”, and I lost it.

Not five minutes later she let her brain get munched on by a mind flayer though. So you win some, you lose some, you know?

Pfft, you only like that thing because it's popular.

It only makes you happy because it makes others happy. You only enjoy it because when you see it you remember others' happiness, and that makes you happy in turn. You only care about it because we're communal creatures, and the warmth this sparks in others has spread to you.

Only that.

Idk if this has been done but 'just the tip' with Belphie and Beel. Since they're twins they can feel when each other get down and dirty with mc, but in this case they want to have one on one time w you so they convince you that the other won't feel it if it's 'just the tip'. 😒

Anywaaay if this gets enough likes I'll do a full thing on it
