We may not have gotten the Persona 5 Fitness Boxing it seemed like they were gearing up for, but that doesn't mean we can't still celebrate the Top 5 Punches in Persona on the latest installment of Pointless Persona Picks!

The most annoying thing in Persona5: The Phantom X is that battles are on a timer. It doesn't matter if your characters are tough enough to withstand all enemy attacks and keep your health up, if you can't kill the enemy FAST enough, too bad, you just lose.
And that factor can go fuck itself.

My favorite part of the My Hero Academia finale was when 10t burst onto the scene and said "I'm real! I've been canon the whole time! Now I'm going to home to smooch my husband, John! Subscribe to his YouTube channel! He's funny sometimes!"

Far too many think "objective" means "I feel so strongly about this that it must be a universal truth" and that's...not how that word works.

In Persona 3, Akihiko just IMMEDIATELY punches Shinji in the face. It's a raw, emotional blow with real weight behind it.
In Reload, Akihiko takes a moment to go "Okay, proper boxing stance. Commence punch now"
Yes, proper form may be muscle memory for Akihiko, but it looks way goofier.

I appreciate all of you trying to explain this to me. Like teaching Grandpa how to use the iPad.
I know I've said this before, but like...
...I don't GET Hatsune Miku. Like are people genuinely a fan of hers as a musician and enjoy her music and...character and personality?
Or is it she's just kinda like Garfield where it's more of a meme. Like yeah, of course she's here, why wouldn't she be?

SpaceVenture finally released officially on Dec. 23, 2025. What's changed? Well, for one, the save/load feature now works as expected. So, of course, I had to make a short video about it. youtu.be/NFmJWToxVDE

For better or worse, I'm actually kind of surprised that Atlus didn't give Reload the side game treatment. Like Reload didn't really get milked all that much, comparatively.
I guess it's arguably a little harder to do because dead, but they coulda pulled a Tactica or Q or something.

BlueSky is a site where you get what you put into it. And many people just don't wanna do that work.
If it's boring to you, try interacting with more things.
If you're experiencing the same problems and issues you had on Twitter, it's because YOU'RE engaging in the same bad habits you had there.

I'm gonna rework the intro, but I still plan to release the video I had planned when I thought Persona 5 Fitness Boxing was gonna be a stand alone game. I'm still proud of how it turned out.

Ya know, with all of LRG's delay and radio silence on it for so long and then all the stuff with the devs and the new publishers and everything, I just sort of assumed they wouldn't be the ones handling Hi-Fi Rush anymore, but here we are

Ya know, it's kinda odd. I can't really say I was THAT excited for the idea of Persona 5 Fitness Boxing, but now that I know we're NOT getting one, I can't help but feel a little sad.
