Persona 3. People often jokingly call this the first Persona game and they kind of have a point. This game marked the beginning of a new direction for the Persona series that 4 and 5 would end up falling very closely. It was a hugely ambitious game that introduced new mechanics that the series still uses to this very day. The game originally released on the PS2 in 2006 and it got an updated version a year later called Persona 3 FES that had an added epilogue and then it got another updated version a year later called Persona 3 Portable for the PSP which had, well, a whole bunch of stuff that will touch on in a bit. Now they're porting this version to pretty much every modern platform and with this new release many might be wondering if it's worth picking up. Well the answer to that is complicated. Persona 3 is an amazing game that hasn't been done justice. It really did lay down the foundation for the whole series. If it isn't considered the best game of all time it will most certainly secure to spot as the most emo game of all time because in this game you play as a guy who shoots himself in the head. Except instead of dying you summon your persona. This is the most mid-2000s RPG ever made. It has one of the coolest styles and soundtracks of any game I've ever played. The music is like a mix between pop and hip-hop and it just suits the game's tone so well. Persona 3 answers the question of what happens if you stay up past your bedtime. As you play as a member of Cease, a squad of students at Gekokan High School who are tasked with investigating the dark hour. A hidden hour after midnight where shadows attack the streets all while the citizens of Port Island are blissfully unaware. Some nights in the game you'll want to explore Tartarus, a mysterious tower that appears every night during the dark hour and seems to go on forever. This is where you do your routine training because every full moon a huge boss will appear and you have no idea what to expect. So the game is all about balancing your time between high school life and fighting shadows to prepare for the big day. This game's story is really deep and honestly might be the best story of the entire Persona series. It is so interesting and dark and I really like how the characters defy expectations. For example, instead of meeting some random guy who all of a sudden becomes your best friend for literally no reason, Persona 3 instead has Junpei who is a jealous, vindictive punk who obviously wants to be the main character of the story and he has this weird air of resentment towards you for a huge chunk of the game. So you're the hero again, huh? And this is just one example. The characters in this game have layers to them. They are all very complex and have their own lives that don't revolve around you which makes P3 unique compared to other RPGs. The team also has an interesting dynamic of seniority unlike most JRPGs as the main character along with Yukari and Junpei are the underclassmen who are new to fighting the shadows and are kept in the dark about a lot of things while Akihiko and Mitsuru are older and clearly have more experience taking on more of a leadership role. Some of these characters are super unique. They have complex relationships with each other and are oftentimes at odds with one another. These characters are very complex and they go through a ton of development over the course of the story. The characters in this game actually have flaws and they show it and as for the obligatory annoying talking animal, you know, since this is a JRPG, this time you don't have a talking cat who tells you to go to sleep at night. No, instead you have a dog and it's it's just a regular as dog that can use a persona like that dog. It doesn't talk or anything so it's instantly superior.  It has a very unique and memorable cast and you'll frequently counter many of them when you go to school during the week.  The game has a lot of clubs to choose from and just a whole bunch of quirky people around town hang out with. You will rarely find yourself with nothing to do. The social links in this game are also really great. There are a ton of them and it isn't always easy to unlock them. Sometimes you have to look out for rumors of strange people around town or even progress one social link to find another.  Two people who play this game might have completely different social circles just because of how hidden some of these characters are and the social system in this game is great mostly because the dialogue choices you make actually matter this time.  Oftentimes you can actually reverse the social link and the character won't be your friend anymore. This can happen frequently depending on the choices you make and the game really captures the awkwardness of trying to reconcile a broken friendship perfectly as you have to make a real effort to mend things and it is crazy that they tone down this feature in Persona 4 and outright removed in Persona 5 because it added some real consequence to your actions which I really like. It's almost like you create your own sub-story based on the mistakes you make and how you deal with the aftermath which really makes us feel like a real RPG. Persona 3 actually has a lot of cool features that were later removed in Persona 4 because they made the game too hard. In P3 you and your party members have status conditions which can range from feeling good to being tired or even getting sick. If you grind and tartar is too long your party members can actually get tired which will make them less powerful and eventually cause them to go back to the dorm and it will take several days of resting up until a lot of characters fit to fight again which will usually force you to instead use a character that you don't normally fight with while they recover. I really like this mechanic. It essentially makes the player have to diversify their lineup and not benching in one for too long which is a problem many RPGs have struggled to confront to this very day. There's just loads of features in this game that were removed in later entries. You can actually split up your group and send your teammates to independently search the dungeons for items and the next staircase and they can fight shadows by themselves which is an awesome feature that cuts down on exploration time. If you need to study for your in-game exams you can even pull all nighters which will in turn make you sleep deprived which is awesome and something Persona 5 was sorely missing. Even going to the bathroom is important in this game as it helps improve your status.   In this game nothing ever goes according to plan. You'll very often have to adapt to unpredictable circumstances. Sometimes you might want to go explore tartarists and certain characters will actually not be in the mood. Maybe Yukari will have to go to a friend's place to study or Akihiko has to go to the store to get something and those characters will just not be available and you have to make do without their help. Even when you take on the monthly boss the characters you meet training up might not be available for some story reason and you'll be forced to use someone you didn't even bother training. This game is hardcore and I actually love how often the game screws with you. Like what other game just takes away some of your characters like that? I can't think of any. And you know what hardcore is the best way to describe this game. P3 is more of a hardcore experience than Persona 4 or 5 because of these challenges put in front of you. Grinding in tartars is not for the faint of heart. I swear the floors go on endlessly and you only get access to a safe point at each mini-boss which could be over 10 floors apart at times. In Tartars you fight these shadows and make your way up floor by floor and if by some chance you get killed well you just lost potentially hours of your life because you get sent back to the main menu and have to reload your last save. I have wanted to throw my console out of the window on multiple occasions where I tried my luck and got one shot at by an enemy right before the next save point essentially wasting my entire night playing the game.  This game is hard. I mean this game is so hard that it infuriates me sometimes. And remember how I said there's a boss every month? Well I hope you have plenty of backup saves early in the month because if you get to the boss under leveled you will not only have to watch over 30 minutes of unskippable cuts in just to get another try. You could also be potentially soft locked in the game because they don't just let you reverse back a week like in p4 and p5.  That's not to mention that in p3 fes you can't even control your party members. They fix this in portable but in the original game it was so frustrating because you had to rely on your party ai and they weren't particularly smart.  That's definitely one thing I really don't like about the original game. The game's hardcore difficulty even extends to the women of the game.  It is absolutely brutal. The game is honestly really good. It has the potential of being the best persona game if it wasn't for a few little quality life improvements that persona 4 made. Persona 4 almost feels like an expansion to p3 considering how similar they are. They reuse a lot of graphical assets and sound effects from this game and it just felt like a more polished version of p3 but it also made things easier and straight up removed some features so I'm conflicted. I mentioned earlier that they remade persona 3 on the psp as persona 3 portable. This is the version we're getting on xbox, switch, playstation and pc. Many people have debated for years on which version of persona 3 is the best. FES or portable and I'm here to tell you that I am on team FES. I think it's better than portable. Let me explain. Portable added a ton of new features to the game and corrected many of the problems I have with original but it comes at a price. First off the big one you can play as a girl in this game and it's like they made a whole new game just for the girl. Everyone's dialogue is different you can actually start social link with Jumpei and Akihiko among other exclusive characters whereas you couldn't in the original and some social links can be started earlier like Yukaris which originally took a few months to access. They really did a good job with making the experience feel unique. Additionally you can control the party members when fighting which is a huge advantage for this version because of how bad the original AI was and since this came out after persona 4 they included a lot of persona 4's little gameplay additions such as how follow-up moves worked and the UI is a lot cleaner. There's a lot of little quality life aspects they improved which I appreciate but I still think for the most part it's overall a worse experience. The biggest thing holding this game back is that they removed the 3D graphics from when you explore Port Island and replace it with a point and click interface. Yeah they removed the game's graphics. You can still run on Tartarus but when you come back to the real world everything is just still images of the environments that you have to click on and the cutscenes are all these visual novel style scenarios where you have to imagine what's going on. I hate this so much. The game doesn't have the full anime cutscenes from the original anymore. It just has a bunch of slideshows of still png's. When I play a game I want to you know play the game. I want to run around the city as my character and see what's going on and interact with people in the environment.  They are essentially removing a huge part of the experience and presentation with this and why because the PSP couldn't handle it? Like am I really supposed to believe that? You're telling me they got Grand Theft Auto Vice City working on the PSP but they couldn't do persona 3? Are you kidding me? That's just ridiculous. This has always been my biggest issue with the game and it's a shame because this version added so much in terms of the actual combat. So to answer the initial question of whether or not I think this game is worth it. Persona 3 is an amazing game with an amazing story. It has the makings of a masterpiece and could be the best game in the series. There's just so much potential. However, this version they're porting over is very limited in its overall experience. I think this game deserves better honestly. If you really want to play it and you're okay with everything I just told you then go for it. But personally I would rather play the original version. This game honestly deserves a remake. It has so much going for in terms of its deep narrative, characters, and its hardcore challenge that makes me think it's the rawest and most experimental game in the whole Persona series which is why I like it. If they remade this game keeping the feel of the original while also improving the little problems it has it could very well be the best game in the entire series. If you enjoyed this look at Persona 3 and want to know more about the series be sure to check out my thoughts on Persona 4 right here. I think you'll enjoy it. I'll see you there.


Hello friends and welcome to another Pokemon update video. My name is Lee also known as Osiris and today We're gonna be covering the news that dropped on the 31st of January. So two days ago I'm a little late getting this information up with the new live Gigantamax events in the wild area So on Thursday evening We had an update to the event Gigantamax Pokemon that you can now obtain in the wild area from Alchemy Changing into milsory so you can catch milsory for a very short period if we hop over to Serabii net I'm just gonna pull this information up for us And we can have a quick overview of the information here You can see that the the event is only running until the 6th of February so next Thursday so you don't have long to actually take advantage of this event but and The Alchemy like I said that was running has changed to a milsory So this is really good for a few reasons. So one it's been proven. I think John Austin did a video on this Proving that the catch rate of these Gigantamax milsory is the same as what you would get in the wild area Normally, which is amazing and making them very easy to obtain and the other thing the big kicker is For this event and this is why I would take advantage of it right now all of you the ribbon sweet and the star sweet are now obtainable In game now. I did a video not so long ago About how to get every single Alchemy form that was available currently in the game But one of the issues with that was we couldn't obtain all 70 forms because the ribbon and the star sweet It just aren't obtainable in the games But now they are we've got the the event that is distributing these these items So please if you are an Alchemy fan like I am Make sure you are taking advantage of this event so you can actually get the star and the ribbon forms Otherwise, who knows when they're gonna drop these items again I'm just gonna come over to this den because what the first thing that we want to do before we go into any den to activate The update is head down into our mystery gifts. You want to come down into get through while there are news Just click into that it will connect to the internet and by doing this I'm gonna update our dens in the wild area And there we go you connected to the internet and receive the latest updates on the wild area time to go Look for those Pokemon in the dens now It doesn't really state on there when the events running till but we know it is gonna be the 31st So next Thursday exciting will probably get new Gigantamax events running in the wild Let's have a look what we've got up will turn so I'm gonna actually head to a Couple of dens that makes us a way quicker. So if we just head up to the meet-up spot And then we want to go to Drappled grove I think where there's two dens and this is kind of what like I like to do So maybe this is a method that you guys can use To just farm these Pokemon. It's always good for like and the live events The only drawback is you're using a lot of wishing pieces But if you're like me and you've been Rinsing the wild area recently for watts and doing lots of exploits and things like that in the game Then you're gonna have a lot of watts to kind of burn for wishing pieces So you don't really mind too much about wasting the wishing pieces So this is a spot that I will use this two dens that you can run between which makes it super easy So just want to hop over here Drop a wishing piece in and yeah, if we get a purple beam, that's not that's not the one. So we need to just cycle backwards and forwards To red beams in a row, what are the chances? Let's see. There we go. There's the red beam that we want so Okay, not the one that we want Her line. What are you doing? Ruining the video come on But like literally guys you just run in between these two drop on wishing pieces between the two Like I say the only drawback is you're gonna be wasting a lot of wishing pieces spending a lot of watts But if you've got a bunch of watts anyway, it's not too bad doing this because there's such a limited period event I kind of don't mind doing this and you have I think it's about a 30% chance of military spawning Through the live event. So hopefully it doesn't take that long for us to actually get one So I'm gonna cut right now and we'll come back when I've managed to get a military between the two dens and Actually not cutting it needed because we've got a three-star military just right now So you can see it doesn't even take that long to actually get it So here we go and like I said the one of the things I really want from this event I'm not too worried about Getting the Gigantamax military although it does mean that you can kind of customize your Gigantamax out for me to Whatever form that you want The thing that I'm really wanting to farm through this event is the star sweet in the ribbon sweet because like I've said countless times already in this video I don't know when we'll have access to these items again Maybe the DLCs that are releasing later this year will have them as special items But who knows otherwise now because they're like three and four star normally They're gonna be easy to farm, you know, it's gonna take a couple of turns especially if you've got a Zasy and Osama's enter And you're gonna be able to just get through these pretty quickly and just farm these items, which is really nice And the catch rate like we've already mentioned is super low so oh super high I should say so getting them in whatever ball that you want is it's gonna be super easy as well I actually have an event called four. I think there's an event running at the minute for 10 free Heal balls, so I will give you the code for that before the end of the video But like I said, we're gonna like two turns for a Gigantamax Pokemon I don't know if we're gonna get too many events in the future where it's gonna be like this, which is pretty nice so they're not too time-consuming and Form it like like ideally I want about Minimum 10 of each item so at least going forward if I want a different alchemy form Especially when it's legal and in VG Which I'm hoping Gigantamax alchemy will be at some point then we can just customize and do what we want with our own Don't alchemy. So I've already actually done the the heel ball event So I'm gonna use one of these heel balls. You can grab yourselves at the minute I don't actually know when that event runs from until but if you're watching this try the code that I'll put up at The end of the video and grab yourself some heel balls. Obviously, it would be better for love balls But you can't have everything can we with the catch rates on these are Super high so you should like guarantee pretty much anything other than a pokeball is gonna catch them And we'll exclude the Beast ball here. So that's the the worst catch rate obviously of all the balls But if you want to try a look so Let's have a look what we got Unfortunately this time we didn't get anything we got a berry sweetener clover sweet Which is cool rare candies Dynamics candies a large XL can X Sorry not X there and a large candy and a medium candy. So not too bad But not the candies we want so we know from the information that just put up on Serabia there's a 30% chance to get a star or ribbon candy between the two and What you can do is just cycle between the dens like this or just you don't even need to do this You've got more time You want to just go around the wild area and just see if you can just cycle through your raid dens and do it that way Without wasting wishing pieces then that is definitely a method as well But this just just speeds it up for yourself. So you can see I would just sit here in between both dens and Just go backwards and forwards like this until I got them and then cycle the milsory and you see we've got another one there So, I mean, it's it's not it's not gonna take too long to cycle through them and We'll go to I think because I've already done this So there's a star sweet and also a ribbon sweet because I've already done this twice already So I got those two with my first two. So I mean, it's it's pretty easy to get them so and I did mention earlier on there is a Mystery gift running at the minute. So what you want to do is go into mystery gifts in your option screen Get code or password. I've already done this. So I I'm not gonna be able to To actually obtain the gift myself But what you want to do, I'll put the code up for you guys so you can grab it It is G 1 G a G R N finale, I think one So whether this is a hidden message or not. I have no idea You get grand finale But that is the code my friends I've already used it but yeah Pause the video when I was putting it in you'll grab yourselves ten free heel balls Which is always handy to have and just make sure that you are Making the most of these free gifts when they are available Like I've said the emulsory is available from now until Thursday this week So it's a really limited period only just make sure that you are grabbing Yourselves a few of them to try and get the star in a ribbon sweets because otherwise Who knows when these are gonna be available and I'll just say thank you so much for tuning in Hope you've enjoyed this update video Make sure if you do want to see all of the different alchemy forms and how to evolve them check out this video I'll pop it right here for you guys to check out and you can go and see all the different methods different times a day spins what you need to do to get them and Hopefully you get yourselves a bunch of star and ribbon sweets while this event is running. So thanks so much Do leave a like do subscribe to the channel and I'll and leave your comments down below Let me know what your favorite alchemy form is. I would love to hear So and I'll catch you all very soon for another update or guide video from myself Until then guys take care and bye. Bye

The space is the student place of action, culture, and empowerment. It's essentially our community center for students. They can come here to find out about programs on campuses, we're home to career services, the Cavalier Cupboard, our food pantry, advising support, and then if they're looking for that community, whether it be in academics, social, or just with other familiar people, they can come and find that with the space. What brought me here is that I want to get my voice heard and opportunity to work in the space and work with different people and just be out in the opening. I think what the space does is important because it provides community for students. A lot of them are entering kind of in different stages, some knowing what they want to do, some trying to figure that out, but it's scary for a lot of them. And so to be able to offer services that provide community but also provide academic support as well as campus support, I think it just makes it feel more like home. I want people to like me for who I am and just be honest and because in the past I had a really hard time finding support people and support people who would lift me up. But now after all these years, I have more support and more encouragement and do things down my comfort zone. So this space also pushed me to do that. If I have that moment that I don't feel confident, I go to someone here, I can talk about it and then they give me their advice on what to do and also they push me, say Courtney, you got this, go for it, don't be afraid and then they always hear from me no matter what.


I think I've made it pretty clear on all my social media accounts, my tomorrow Spacepods and the tomorrow live show that I think rockets are the best thing ever. And I don't live too far from Vandenberg Air Force Base, which is one of the four major launch sites that are here in the United States. So what's it like to actually go to a rocket launch? Well, this is your Spacepod for January 26, 2016. If you're looking for the ultimate display of brutal power, it's very hard to beat a rocket launch in person. There's nothing like seeing a few tons of exotic metals flying on top of a fuel tank, riding a column of fire all the way up to orbital velocity. In this case, we'd be watching the launch of Jason 3, a NASA Earth Sciences satellite, which just so happened to be perfectly timed to launch on January 17. Right smack dab in the middle of several days off that I had. Now, I go to websites like spaceflightnow.com and nasaspaceflight.com in order to keep up with the launch schedules and see if there may be any changes to when it is actually going to launch. Jason 3 is the next in a long series of satellites that study the oceans that have been a collaboration between NASA and CNES, the French Space Agency. It began in 1992 with Topex Poseidon, Topex standing for a topography experiment and Poseidon representing the Greek god of the seas, which is what Topex Poseidon would study. Using radar and a suite of scientific instruments, it would look at the relative height of the ocean, map global tides, see what the effects of climate change were on the oceans, and improve our overall understanding of oceans here on Earth. A successful mission led to the development of Jason 1, a similar satellite retaining that collaboration between NASA and CNES and launched in 2001 still operating today. With better instrumentation, we now had two datasets to compare. Topex Poseidon lost its operational capability in 2005 and in 2008, Jason 2 was launched. It improved upon the instrumentation even further and now we had both Jason 1 and Jason 2 operational. The world's oceans were sampled completely every five days. And with the launching of Jason 3, scientists will be washing data from three missions simultaneously delivering the science. But what about that launch? Back in 2013, I was lucky enough to see the first launch of a Falcon 9 version 1.1 from Vandenberg, or what's now known as Falcon 9 Flight 6, and it just so happens that with the launch of Jason 3, I might have a chance of seeing the last Falcon 9 version 1.1. And we're on our way out of Los Angeles to get out of this place. We're on our way to Vandenberg right now, which is about 180 miles northwest of Los Angeles. So that means from where I live in LA, it's about a three hour drive. And in addition to that, the nice thing about today is that it is a Sunday, so we don't have to deal with any of the usual terrible traffic that we get in Los Angeles. Although right now, if you look outside of the car, we are dealing with fog on our way out. So obviously, we're hoping that this clears up by the time launch is supposed to occur, which is at 10.42 in the morning, and it's just a little bit before 7 right now. So hopefully everything clears out and we'll get a nice view of the rocket and we'll just enjoy ourselves as we take a nice little Sunday drive to go watch a controlled explosion. So good times. So we're a little over halfway to Lone Poke now in Vandenberg Air Force Base and we've come out of the fog and into the sun and we're hoping that the weather remains really, really, really nice like this on our way out. So we'll just have to see how it works out. We're enjoying a nice drive along the coast right now. Beautiful. Beautiful California. No, I'm talking about Tybalt Manstein. Oh. Oh yeah. That's true. Batman is the best out of everyone. How does he look like Batman? Well, if you took away everyone's, like if you took away Superman's powers, he's just a weak person. He's a weak journalist. Yeah. On the side of the road that we've seen on the way in the Lone Poke today is a confused SpaceX employee. SpaceX employee? No, no, no, no. If we get that guy, he's like, don't. Yeah.  And we're now heading out to our viewing spot on Ocean Avenue, which is on the southern portion of Vandenberg Air Force Base and should be, well, we're going to hear it for sure if it launches today. But as you can see, we've got a lot of fog to contend with as the weather reports are saying that it's going to burn off before the time of the launch, but it's almost an hour to launch time and it's still looking as thick as it was an hour ago. So we'll have to see and we'll hope that we can see it. Well, we're at our spot that we watched launches from here at Vandenberg. At least the Atlas and the Falcon 9s. It's just that there is a problem. That direction is where the Falcon 9 is right now. You'll notice that there is a lot of fog in the way. We probably won't be looking through that today, unfortunately, to do that. But we're still going to at least enjoy the noise from our rocket today.  This is going to be the loudest fog you've ever seen. I can't get my camera out because we're using it to record audio. Oh, man. Thanks for watching the Space Pod. I'm Jared Head.

If an old game still exists, it is worth playing or at least learning about. Like, do yourself a favor, don't play every old game, because a lot of them are bad. Most. But if you find a game that is old and missing or hard to find and you see that there are people who advocate for it, if you see there are people who are putting in effort to make it still be playable, if there is a library of ancient tabletop games, maybe one floor directly down from us, where people are putting in the effort to curate these ancient games so people can know they existed, take them up on it, someone is putting effort in, at least see why they're putting that effort in. Right. If there's a zillion old games you're trying to preserve, right, we only really have enough resources to preserve the good ones, so if you see someone actively preserving one, that's enough, that proves it's a good one. There is some merit there, someone sees merit in it, even if it's not, you know, your merit, you might not like it, but check it out.


In flight school, one of the first things they teach you is that no matter what the flight manual says, no two individual planes will ever fly exactly the same way. I learned that you can't get complacent with what you've read in a book. You have to stay alert, always course-correcting and assessing the changing conditions and the individual quirks of the machine that you're piloting. I'm telling you this story because it relates to the rise of a certain trend that I'm seeing a lot of in management. And that trend is the personality test. Listen, I get it. You know, they're fascinating. I've even used them myself. And yes, I fully support the idea of looking inward and learning more about your underlying moods and motivations. But the problem with relying on these tests as a management tool is that once you put someone in a box and you decide that you know who they are, you keep them in that box and then you start leading the box.

The Bonk cryptocurrency exists on the Solana blockchain, which is one of the most valuable layer 1L1 blockchains in the world. According to Bonk's white paper, the project aims to be a community coin of Solana that will be used across many decentralized applications. DApps.

Bonk was the third largest meme coin by market cap after Doge and Shiba Inu, Shibi, as of mid-December 2023. It was the 43rd largest crypto by market cap as of mid-December 2023. Bonk is one of the biggest crypto gainers, up 10,000%, in 2023, among the top 100 cryptos in year-to-date terms as of mid-December 2023.

Bonk has a maximum supply of 100 trillion coins. 60 trillion Bonk tokens were in circulation as of mid-December 2023. Bonk aims to do this by air dropping 50% of its total supply to NFT DGENs and DeFi traders, artists, and collectors on Solana. Striding along with Solana's parabolic, 471% yearly upswing, Bonk first became popular among SOL community members for the free-dollar Bonk air drops. Later on it was announced that dollar Bonk air drops are up for grabs for anyone purchasing Solana's Saga Web, three smartphones. Bitcoin whale and disruptive technology pioneer Kyle Chass seconded the opinion of Arthur Hayes that Bonk could outpace Shiba Inu, concluding that memes are leading adoption in this cycle and bringing normies into the crypto realm. Indeed, Bonk first emerged in early 2023 as the Solana savior while the arguably fastest layer one chain crumbled to single digits. However, Bonk's likelihood of outshining Shiba Inu shibs so far is far fetched due to the difference in market capitalization. Meme coins become a driving force of adoption with volatility factors to consider. Bonk has been compared to other meme coins such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, but it has its own unique features such as a built-in meme generator and a decentralized exchange, Dex.
