I don't really disagree with you but I believe the point of the post is that no black person would be able to occupy those offices with such condemnable offenses.
It's "shut up about DEI" because there is clearly already preferential selection of white people.

But yeah, small-scale righteousness has done lots of harm to the left. Especially in policing what is politically correct. Sure, somebody might be "in the wrong", but it's better to have that person on your side than against you.

P3P uses the same combat system as Persona 4 and 5, while the original P3 and P3FES system was quite different.

The actual changes are pretty subtle, but it makes the whole system feel totally different. The "1 More" mechanic did not activate on partial knockdowns with multi target moves, and being knocked down would result in skipped turn. Being hit while knocked down would also undo the knockdown.
Basically, multi target moves were much more situational, type weaknesses were much more dangerous (for both player characters and enemies), and there was a lot of potential strategy in getting enemies to skip turns.
I think it was a lot more interesting this way and P4/P3P/P5 simplified it to the point that P5 added a "play the game for me" button that autoselects the best move.

I agree with the other commenter that both P3Re or P3FES would be mostly the same as what you've already experienced, but I think it's worth it for the epilogue, especially if you liked the characters in the base game.
Between the two, I would personally recommend FES but I think most people would recommend Reload.

Surprised I didn't see anyone mention Persona 3 FES.

The definitive version of Persona 3, before they simplified the combat system for 4, 5, and remakes of 3.

The epilogue of the game, The Answer, has the best story in the series.

Persona series is [almost] totally standalone; no need to play 1 or 2 first.

What was the math? Doesn't salt increase the boiling point?

The Gregorian calendar is by far the most commonly used calendar in the world, certainly in the English speaking world, and while I don't particularly care to defend or attack your comment or the original comment, my point stands that the most obvious interpretation of what they said is in the context of the Gregorian calendar and to pretend they meant it outside of that context is silly.

It may be pronounced either way, and may also be spelled "broach", an alternate spelling which is very common although probably slightly less than this chart implies given multiple meanings of "broach".

I'm not really informed on this history of this word, but I think it's possible that the "brooch" spelling increased in frequency along with the pronunciation that rhymes with "mooch" while people who pronounce it to rhyme with "roach" are more likely to spell it as "broach".

The obvious meaning of someone saying "year 0 doesn't exist" is that the Gregorian calendar does not have a year 0; the year before 1 AD is 1 BC. It's not a math thing, it's a protocol thing.

Your point on consistency is just wrong. There is no reason that "believing years exist" would necessarily imply "believing all numbered years exist"

What dialect of English will we base the new spelling system on?

FLCL is probably my overall favorite and I think this scene demonstrates a lot of its different styles with more silly and serious cuts. For just the best of the character animation, I think this scene is one of the best.

5 Centimeters Per Second is also one of my favorites and definitely my favorite of Shinkai Makoto's stuff. People talk about visuals where "you could pause it on any frame and have a beautiful image" and I think that's really true of this one. The honestly excessive use of really complex lighting gives it a really nice and unique vibe. The "ray racing on" of anime.

Kizumonogatari uses 2D animation on top of 3D backgrounds. Feels very unique, and on top of that, it's just really tryhard good animation. Each of the three movies have their own strengths, too. 1 is the most aesthetically consistent, with the artstyle giving off a really specific and deliberate vibe. 2 is overall the best looking and includes the most diverse character animations. 3 has its iconic final fight and mixes up the artstyle for a really climactic moment.

The iDOLM@STER Movie: Kagayaki no Mukougawa e! has amazing quantity and quality of character animation, but the emphasis is honestly on quantity. Skip to any random scene in the movie (even outside of the performances)and chances are there's an average of 4 moving characters on screen at any time. Really impressive, I kinda had my jaw dropped every time they do a wide cut of 20 characters, especially during the performances.

Quick bonus round: Kanon for the unique wintery aesthetic, Gunbuster for strong imagery, Evangelion also for strong imagery, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou for expressive animation, Omoide Poroporo for great style, Welcome to the NHK! for color design, You're Under Arrest for great action cuts, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for being overall beautiful in so many ways, Nichijou & CITY for style and animation, Soul Eater for the fight scenes, and I could maybe go on all day 😢 there's so much good visuals in anime

Check your web history for "wikipedia", what are the most recent 5-10 Wikipedia pages you have read?

 

Looking to ask for people's favorite tactical RPGs because I have played a bunch but never really gotten into any. XCOM, Fire Emblem, Disgaea, Advance Wars, Fallout, etc.

Looking to see what other people love so I can convince myself to try something new or try something again.

Out of what I've played, Into the Breach was my favorite. Very dense, and the positioning is really important. The only one I actually finished.

This is my list of every anime that depicted the New York City WTC Twin Towers contemporaneously. That is, only including anime from 1973 to 2001. This is not about 9/11, this is about documenting how anime portrayed one of the most iconic city skylines while it was still around.
However, I believe this list is not complete. If you know of any anime that show the twin towers, please let me know so I can add it to the list. Some of these are easy to find; if they are tagged as taking place in New York on AniDB then it's a quick skim through the show/movie to look. However others, like the Kimagure Orange Road movie, are much more difficult.
