314 - Persona, Initial D, Agarest.
Hello dear, bros. How is life? All is good? All is wonderful? Are you optimistic about the future? Well of course you are! Why wouldn't you be? Welcome to the most optimistic and family friendly Patreon campaign ever. Hosted by your bellowed leader: ALABUBUR!
Patreon messages. Last week I made an effort to reply to all the unanswered messages I had in my Patreon inbox. Some of them were from (FUCKING!) four years ago by the way. Better late than never, right? Right!? T_T Well, in any case, I promise to do better from now on. Feel free to spam my Patreon inbox for whatever reason, I promise to reply during this century.
Agarest Senki Mariage. Finally beat the game. Apparently it only had two generations. Took me about 40 hours. It was fun, but I think I had my fill of the Agarest series for now. Time to play that Sakura Wars GameBoy Color game :)
P3R. Just as I expected Persona 3 remake is a complete disappointment. I remember when I said I don't like P5 and some of you kindly suggested that I should have my head checked. Well, all I know is that P3 and P4 made me feel a whole bunch of of emotions, when with P5 all I felt was apathy.
Everything about P3R seems inferior to me. It feels like a P5 reskin, with colorful visuals and cities full of faceless pedestrians. The mysterious and foreboding atmosphere of the original game is gone. (Well at least there is no talking cat that narrates your entire fucking life every second like in P5.)
Initial D. I continue to watch Initial D and I like it more and more. In fact I think I enjoy it even more than I did MF Ghost. The story is very grounded here, the characters are well written. I even went from tolerating the art style to kind of liking in it now. All in all, I am really glad I decided to give this anime a try.
The work. I have nothing to say. Not gonna lie it's starting to get a little annoying that, despite so many hours spent working, I have no news to brag about. But it is what it is. I am testing, coding, adjusting, writing and so on. Many little things need my attention. Thank you for your support and patience, bros.

As someone who's only played the Shin Megami side of that whole multiverse, Person as a whole always struck me as too melodramatic to be interesting. Which is saying something.
You got it right. Persona is very different from Shin Megami. Persona is mostly a teen drama role play simulator. :)
Hey there ALABUBUR, life is shit atm, thanks for asking. Glad you enjoy Initial D. It is a great show in my humble opinion. As for P3R the only thing that would make me want to get it is if they remade the Maya/Isako Toriumi S.Link and made it into an actual romance option. My teen heart was badly hurt because of that, when I first played P3. and I never want to relive that, even years later. Also, thanks for the response, time flies, I would never have believed that I messaged you over 2 years ago. And as always, take care Aka!
Fucking hell. I am supposed to be the only one complaining here, but quite a few comments this week seem to mention that life is kind of not the best for them right now. That sucks -_- Well from what I know her link is pretty much the same. The added little stuff here and there to many links, that's the only thing that interests me. But I doubt I will be able to enjoy it since there is no guarantee all the additions fit in well, and I will always compare everything to the original in my mind. Nah. To me personally the remake does not worth it. Thank you for they literal years of sticking around, man.
I like the banner it kind of feels like the message there is, if you are down you can always look up (skirt) ;)
Yeah I thought briefly if I should post it. Goes back to the what was harmless shows, movies where they would try and do that. These days not so politically correct
This week's gif is from : Initial D
^_^
Finished work after 14 hrs and one big fuck up. Hell. I am tired. Nothing's good for last week. And possibly next month. My life is basically kinda disaster rn lol. But hey. At least you are doing well, my fav patreon boi.
14 hours sounds tough, bro -_- But hey, you still had enough energy in you to drop a comment, that's a good thing XD
Thank you for this publication Lord ALABUBUR !!! I'm sure even Yū Suzuki must have been bored or fed up at some point during the development of Shenmue 💪🏻 Is there any hope that Bob will share with us new posters of the characters? 👀
Fucking stop calling me that before it became a thing! My name is Babublur! Shenmue <3 First time I played that game I was like 15 years old or something, and it was an unofficial Russian dub. There was no internet back then so I didn't know any better. That dub was absolutely horrible. Hearing characters speak like my drunk neighbor was sure something. Didn't stop me from enjoying the game though. It's nice being a kid :) Bod is working on another poster but he is having serious technical difficulties (he told me his PC died or something) so there are delays. But next poster is definitely coming. ^^
A disappointing remake? Color me shocked, whatever color that happens to be. I knew they'd screw it up, everything has to be 'updated' to current year standards and it ruins things. I've fought people for hours about P3 deserving way more of my respect than P5. Initial D is definitely a banger of a series, watched most of it with my friend back in the day (and bought all the soundtrack disks!). As for the work? Hey, as a Janitor I can sympathize. You put in eight to ten hours and by the time you're done nobody notices anything at all... but you still did the work!
Yes, fucking remakes man. We barely see anything new anymore these days -_- Thanks, Trevor. I suppose it mostly an accident but somehow this comment of yours hit me in the feels a little and cheered me up a bit. Thank you for being around, my friend :)
Your not alone in prefering Initial D over MF Ghost. Initial D is just so much better. I think it's because there are just to many racers in MF Ghost so you don't ever really get emotional over any of them, not of them stand out since they are all supposed to be all these hot shot racers. Where as in Intial D the dogfights are just so much more personal, and you get to see Takumi evolve as a racer. It's just plain better, not that MF Ghost is bad, but it's just very forgettable after you watch it. Anyway, keep on doing the things you enjoy mate!
Yeah, this is pretty much how I feel too. There is a lot of racing in MFG but some of the characters are barely have any screen time at all. Maybe it was intentional of course, but to me initial D just feels way more grounded in reality and because of that it is easier to relate to the characters. Anyway, thank you for the support :)
Not all updates can be bangers man, thanks for being honest :)
The least I could do. Thank you for your faith in me, man.
Good job on the replies, happy that you're having a good time with the games and enjoying Initial D, is a very good show
Thank you for your support, man. Yeah, I continue to watch Initial D and honestly surprised by how much I liked it so far. ^_^
