You are not mistaken, there hasn't been a 4th blog. Due to superstition, I feel like skipping it.
Not to mention, the recent happenings in America that I wouldn't mention for now. It's quite in poor taste, and calling attention to it while the heat is hot is out of my style.
Site Update
I begin embedding songs to each blog pages that suits the mood.
I added the site's banner!
With how I develop created this gif, I use the online design creator canva that provided animated stickers. Although, I can't really download it as a .GIF so I ought to be creative.
Using the computer's screencap feature, I captured the 4 second animation loop of the gif, convert it through some online tool, and here I am. I think I can make blinkies using this method.
The Avatar Update
Now, some disclaimers: I do not know which avatar is organic and made by humans or purely computer generated through algorithm (Read: GenA.I.).
I got it from this website, Alphacoders.com uploaded by Patrika.
I'm aware that a lot of people are against A.I.. It's just scary that I couldn't tell since most of them are computer-made from either through algorithm or manually by real artists.
This is why I do not codone accosting people from their accidental, even intentional, use of A.I. if not for their own personal use. And, there're times friendly-fire happens i.e. blaming actual artists because their artstyle are dangerously close to GenA.I. images.
I guess that's my A.I. rant for the day.
The Eternal Persona Triology Loop
I firmly believe, once that the original director of P1 and P2 stepped out, Atlus must have suddenly no rights to make or remake those two original games.
>But Atlus, why the three games?
It looks like the modern Persona games are the games they have right to develop these days. IDK the right terminology. And I'm not familiar with the Japanese copyright law, but it is a bit screwy and stricter than the USA.
This funny edit from a SMT4 screenshot has never been so true.
The Persona 4 Remade Remake will Miss the Point
Some jokes and topics with the Persona games are outdated and a product of its time. So will be Persona 4 and the characters' struggle.
I'd see how everyone in the team would be affected by this, or misrepresented from their original iteration.
I have no faith in Atlus about changing things to "suit the modern audience". And the countless of internet slapfights where people will herald the misconstrued version to be the definitive experience.
By all the heavens, they're going to be insatiable attention whores.
It's not out yet, yes. I'm just not looking forward for this remaster. We already have ports for Persona 4 Golden. I don't need a Unreal engine adaptation of a timeless classic.
I'm already cautious with the Persona fandom with the flood of incoming Persona 5 fans. I might cut off from the community completely and avoid talking about it when my worst nightmares have come true.
Why Am I Probably Not Going to Put My Social Links into My Profile?
First of all, website crawlers are a scary thing. I rather have difficulties finding my other identities than risk having malicious actors use website crawlers to find my other socials.
Not to mention, I rather compartmentalize my stuff. Because, once I get sick of something, I could return with another account of my newfound interest.
Not a lot of people know. While, yes, some content may lost in time...
The Internet is Forever
I'm not really risking the stuff I used to be proud of now embarassed to be associate to come crawling and bite me in the ass.
I think that's my reason.
I have mention this in my previous blogs already, as I advocate for free Internet and preservation of content. I'm just being cautious.
