Good luck with that. It would probably have been much easier for me if this path actually let you buy Chewing Souls...


Btw, Tatsuya's hair continues to be stupid. I get that it's supposed to resemble a motorcycle helmet. But it just looks so weird and I can;t help but feel it was dated even when the game first out, since I can't remember anyone in the 90s favoring that style. And yet he's considered the hottest thing around by the whole school? What?

Just managed to download Innocent Sin at work. Ueeheeheehee

I'm assuming the fan reaction wasn't really helping matters at that point.

btw, just beat the Snow Queen Quest today. Went ahead and tried it without grinding for the ultimate personas. I probably went too early because the only reason I managed to win was because Lilim can absorb all magic, so I ended up cherry tapping the boss to death with just Naoya alive. Fun times. But I still wanted to take that risk if that meant I could save several hours by not grinding.

Sure, I agree, but I still think it doesn't really deserve the criticism it gets. This is especially bad because the strong reaction against SH4 is probably led to the disbanding of Team Silent and Western developers taking over the series, and we all know how that turned out.

Idk, I still might end up doing something for it. But I really doubt I'd be working on a new project. I really need to close some of the stuff I started.

Btw, are you planning on doing anything for NaNo this year?

Tbh, I don't think most people who had this reaction took the time to really analyze the intricacies of the ghost mechanics. It's probably a case of "They Changed It Now It Sucks"

A little late, but thank you for the birthday wishes.

I remember. =^.^=

Idk, I don't think I'm cut out for NaNo. Counting the words I write is exactly the same thing I do at work, and I like my writing to be more of an escape from that rather than a reminder. Also, it's much harder to count words when writing on paper, and that's basically all that I do recently. So yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do it this year.

As for the idea, idk. I've decided that I really need to focus on my current projects and finish them up before moving on to new ones because at this rate, I'll get nothing done. Apart from the vampire thing, I also have the aliens thing I had you read a chapter of in the past, and then there's the wacky roadtrip thing. I've started way too many things and the things I've decided to focus on are going at a snail's pace and it's super frustrating. I really need to get mny trout together.

Oooh, but I did come up with an idea for the spooky story competition! It's probably not the most original thing, but the atmosphere I have in mind should work great as long as I can really do it justice, so I think I'll probably start writing it soon to get a head start! Btw, one thing I learned when hosting the Vday contest last February is that a panel of judges probably works better than a poll because that way people actually read the longer pieces. Of course, this is just my observation, and if you end up hosting, you'll do whatever feels right, but I thought it'd be a good idea to share my experience.

Go in order, imo. It's always better to do it that way. And I think 4 is much more enjoyable, so it's better to leave it for last. I really can't get why so many people consider it such a black sheep, tbh

Well that does sound interesting! I'd be interested in reading it myself, too, if you ever feel like sharing. Some time ago I also had a vampire story written as a kind of hook for a larger novel I had planned but that kinda died? I did end up recycling some of those aspects into the Devil Summoner fanfic (basically the main character was dealing with a relationship ending with no hopes of ever getting it back that kind of formed the backbone of Benny's character) and there were two distinct factions of vampires with different rules. On recollecting it, I think it was a cool concept. Shame that it died. Maybe someday.

I played SH3 with my wife (as we always do for Halloween gaming) and we also had a couple of tries because she was at a pretty low point at the time and the train death scenes were a bit too real and traumatic to handle at the moment. But in the end, we worked through it, and liked it, though we both agree that both 4 and 2 were better.

Either works tbh. I mean, if you do end up hosting it, you make the rules
