System Wars Lounge v53: Copyright Edition!!

Personally I find it funny how everyone keeps using the term "slut" in reference to Rise simply because she's OPEN about liking the protagonist. Girl likes what she sees (and hey I would too if I were a girl in the Persona universe looking at MC) and goes all in to snag him before the other girls do.

That being said, Yukiko is a runner up only because her family has some property and money to bring to the table. And she's kinda funny on her own.

Edit: also, the original version of Persona 4 is superior. Golden adds a lot of fun things but makes the game WAY too easy even on harder difficulties. The two new social links don't add much, the new dungeon is lame, and two extra months of faffing about are nice but also border on boring.

**** no, the new dungeon is the best that modern Persona has accomplished till date without actually resorting to being a reskinned Etrian Odyssey.

What kind of sad world you live in where a dungeon that actually discourages you from fighting shadows is considered a good one.

There's no challenge to the shadows in that dungeon, even when the game gives you SP restoring accessories and arbitrarily takes away half of your remaining SP after every fight. Like... why? The only benefit is the boss fight which required a SLIGHTLY different approach but was still nothing truly as challenging as say the 8-Bit Hero boss or the Hippie Angel.

Two extra months in Inaba are two extra months in heaven so shut your mouth. >:(

Come on guys, the game released quite some time ago...

And you still haven't played it, so stfu.

<3

Maybe in summer if I get a Vita for my birthday.

PLAY IT ON YOUR PS3

*walks in lounge*

*sees Persona talk*

Nah, I'll play Golden, unless you change your mind again and let me play P3FES first

No. Golden, thenFES.

So fine, waiting till Summer it is.

STFU, you love Persona 4.

@charizard1605: lol like I'd ever play an awful game like Persona. It's nothing but a grind fest.

Now excuse me while I go back to Destiny.

Am I sensing some passive-aggressiveness here? :(

@93BlackHawk93: I don't know, are you?>:-[

@charizard1605: Well then, **** you and everything you represent.

So I just got diagnosed with social anxiety disorder a few hours ago. I mean, I had always known, but still, goddamn.

Really? I'm genuinely sorry.

I have been diagnosed with that before and still can't get over it.

Yeah. I mean. Like I said, I knew. I'm terrified of the simplest things involving other people. But still, I mean, I was sort of hoping they were my own hangups.

I don't know what to do right now, I'll be honest, I am a little confused.

I don't think I am the sort of person to say anything, but maybe just embrace who you are no matter what? Perhaps?

As for my part, I've been trying to cope with it doing what I can when it comes to a social situation (even though several times I come off as a weirdo). It is terrifying but the worst thing that can happen is looking "bad" for some minutes/seconds and that's it. I also try to find people with interests I have.

Please take to mind I'm not trying to lecture you.

I actually do want a Vita now just so I can play Golden. If only Sony could just release a model that has SD card instead of their proprietary crap.

No, don't worry, I really appreciate any and all advice :)

I guess in a sense, I am and have always been confident in who I am. But there is this weird dichotomy where even when I tell myself I am awesome and really believe it, I am terrified of social situations for fear of social rejection i.e. I could tell myself I am the next Einstein, and I would still be too terrified to, say, make a phone call to Dominos to order a pizza.

I do try to do what you said you do- that is, try to at worst look like a fool for a few minutes to people I almost certainly never have to face again, so what does it matter, really. It's still just a hangup I can't get over, and now with a formal diagnosis, I am just afraid the hangup or barrier might get tangibly worse, you know?

The Vita Slim comes with 1GB of on board memory. If you buy a Vita Slim and a physical copy of the game, you need no additional storage to play it. Maybe you want to go that route?

I get that. I have the same dichotomy so I just sometimes get into thinking the usual "Who am I?", "What's the point of existing?", etc. I'm also super obsessive, hence I am a completionist. However, ordering food doesn't scare me anymore since I don't have the person in front of me. But speaking in public? Holy shit, I hyperventilate.

I had that diagnosis for almost ten years, and I think I have improved a lot at least with the help of therapy, and antidepressants even if I don't like to take those (I still have no friends but whatever). That hangup will just get worse if you keep blowing it out of proportions, so I think it's best to refute it with your head every time you feel that way.

You can do it! :)

@TheGuardian03: I did drop school for one year because of the anxiety. I'm studying Psychology right now.

Haha, about putting myself in a situation that let me face it: I have to leave job applications to places I don't actually want to work with; so if by the off-chance they employ me I have just to refuse.

When the time comes I do it for real, I'll be prepared to put up with all stress of introduction with this "training".

No worries man; you're the best kind of weirdo! ;D

Sorry to hear that bro :(

well, destiny is more fun to actually play than persona but thats not really saying much

Sorry to hear that bro.

But how are we supposed to sell DLC if we give an infinite number of dungeons for free? :V

Seriously now, this beats running the same boss over and over again and is a very welcome addition.

It amazes me how she's a singer when she has ZERO sense of timing. If she did, she'd have inserted herself far sooner into the story than she did. Alas, just about all the other girls got to Yu first, leaving her to fight a losing battle when Yu's heart was already taken. At that point, her enthusiasm comes off as sluttiness more than anything.

@Technoweirdo: People call Rise a slut? Wha?

You otaku weeaboo people are shit.

I would just say she's easy

No, that still has negative connotation.

@funsohng: She shouldn't be soo easy then >.>

Would definitely use Yukiko in P4A if anyone but DSS played it.

Honestly, despite my disappointment with awakening, I am still anticipating the next Fire Emblem.

Did you guys hear about this? Stuff like this makes me wonder what the human life expectancy will be in 60 years.

0:59 Best way to turn somebody down. Don't even have to be honest. Makes them realize that future moves will be futile, without having to go into deeper explanation. I would have loved that dialogue option in Persona 4, that would probably stop Rise from flirting with me... just maybe.

@Maroxad: Meh. Much funnier to throw a bro under the bus in those situations :P

@speedfreak48t5p: @Desmonic: @93BlackHawk93: @TheGuardian03: Yeah, guys, thanks. I mean I guess it is okay, it's just a part of my personality, and I like my personality, so I shouldn't get down about what someone says of one specific aspect of it... plus it's not like anything has really changed.

Aw, man. Poor Derek:

It is just a part of your personality indeed. Be it oyur strengths or weaknesses, those are all a part of what makes you, you.

I have the game!

Finally decided to buy UMvsC3. Probably because it'll be the last one in awhile. I'm still playing Bayonetta 2 (awesome) and Smash Wii U.

Buying a new system will have to wait until later.

Anyways I predict Seattle wins 27-16.

Would really like Seattle to beat the ever living shit out of the Patriots.

Sorry to hear about that man. Not sure how severe it is, but hope you can find something to help you deal with it.

Have OCD myself and it can get annoying trying to keep it under control. Not a comparable situation, obviously.

Just don't let it get you down and try your best to do what you can to fight it. I'm sure it'll be fine in the long run.

@getyeryayasout: boooooo

@charizard1605 welcome to the club, friend. Us diagnosed with that need to stick together!

Though to be honest I don't find the diagnosis to be anything to get worried about or change your life over. Just do what you do as usual and learn to accept the situations that make you feel weird.

Now, if you had been diagnosed with whatever it is you call that thing where you feel like actively hurting people...

Hey, remember when Beyonce wanted this pic deleted out of the Internetz? :D

Yeah, I was freaking out a little, and then I realized that a formal label for a behavior pattern I have always had anyway doesn't really matter. it changes nothing at all. So I hope it is fine, really.

And do you mean psychopathy? :p

Apparently pretty severe, I was near the top of the scale lol.

The funny thing is, I am pretty confident about myself, and I used to be pretty good about public speaking and stuff. Somewhere down the line, things changed. I don't know where or when or what, but I mean, I freak out at social interactions now.

But yeah, it should be okay in the long run, hopefully.

Indeed, no point trying to gnash your teeth over it.
