Haven't listened yet but they're always a bit quiet in the beginning. I'm sure she'll open up as she gets used to the flow. I remember when Drew barely talked when he first came on.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Unused to podcasting and seems to not follow visoegame news that closely since it was never her job. Both things that will be fixed. She's a lot more active know the email part. Can also throw in it's her first week of meeting them even, so probably doesn't want to always butt in.
Ben had the advantage of both already podcasting and knowing at least Jeff, Brad and Rorie as well as being in the industry.

Yeah as much as I am loving persona 5 it's character development exists for the entire arc of a palace and whoever you recruit in that one, I do wish that it did a better job and I agree with Alex's complaints. Like, Ann hasn't done anything interesting storywise after Kamoshida's palace. Ryuji and Yusuke kind of do but it's because their character quirks lend themselves to being more active. Makoto is constantly involved because her sister is a major player in the story for the vast majority of the game. Futaba is also great and it's because of her background story and connection to Sojiro. Akechi is also pretty involved because he propels the story forward.
At least it's fun to play unlike the travesty of gameplay persona 3 is.

Hey, if you're into persona for RPG combat you're in the wrong series lmao. Then again this is how I feel when people talk about P2 being amazing.
At least 3 still had a semblance of a challenge though.

Yup, he's cool but I originally hoped he was the producer hire and we would get a more engaging editor.
West feels no different at all and Ben seems like he's already settled, so I doubt things will change much.

Makoto is like the best and most well-developed of the whole crew I've met so far. She's got all sorts of stuff going on.
Her relationship with her sister, the stuff with her dad, the way the school treats her, her questioning her direction in life and why she's studying so hard in the first place
Also Vinny if you're reading, you can hold Triangle to speed up the victory screen.

Which Persona is the one where they summon by shooting themselves in the head?

I finished What Remains of Edith Finch yesterday.
Great art style, cool idea but tbh the story didn't do anything for me, and that'd probably because I'm stupid and didn't understand it.
Now I don't know what I'm going to play, I have Nier laying around here, I borrowed it from a friend a couple weeks ago.
But I want to play Prey, maybe I should play Nier and get Prey when it's on sale.

You should totally up the difficulty if that happens. Keep you on your toes.

Vinny's biggest fear is basically that Junji Ito "this is my hole!" story.
If you only want to get to the next story segment, that's fine. Up the difficulty for the bosses instead. It's a blast.
Makoto was the best character because you could tell how much work went into her as the
Also her Persona is bad ass.
5 became more about SP management early game and then...well fuck all by the end. I loved the dungeons way more than 3 or 4 by a wide margin, but the combat was less challenging than 3 and probably somewhere near 4G's difficulty. With Phys being so over powered and the lack of Null/Rpl demons, even those with no weaknesses go down real easy.

by the way, i'm really excited to discover how the majima i know from BiTE so far turns into this fucking weirdo (minor spoilers maybe for yakuza?)

Edit: That entire episode of Black Mirror seemed personally made for me. Have a ridiculous fear of both Spiders and Alzheimer's.

I don't think dead rising leads are ever cool?
They're more goofballs really.

Don't set your expectations too high.
Why do people want two "high energy" coasts? It's a good contrast to have a chill stream and another that's a little crazier. Even when Dan was on West it wasn't like the others got amped up because of it. Just because Ben is low key doesn't mean he can't bring ideas and new shows to the table.
the us president can never be a beloved goofball again
i'll expect brilliance!
Yup, that's what I like. Dan did have his energy moments, but I actually found him sometimes overbearing when he was like that. With Vinny to match him, it's a great fit. I like the chill nature of the west coast, different moods, mann.
Yeah I think Dan works so much better on East compared to West, even though he had Drew. No one else engaged him in his antics as much as Vinny has and Alex plays the straight man well. It would need more than one hire to shift the whole atmosphere of West but I dont know if that's a thing that should be changed anyway

Abby was pretty cool on the Beastcast even if she was a bit quiet. Totally understandable considering it was her first time and she doesn't have any experience doing stuff like that, I might even say she did super well considering her background.
