Greetings!

The leaves are turning orange, fall is here. That fact would usually go unnoticed because the changing of seasons is an inevitability of life. Yet this time something seems off.

A road has appeared, as if calling our dear adventurers. Was it always there? They're not sure. The carved pumpkins are looking with that hypnotic gaze at the heroes. They feel compelled to follow their instructions. To venture deeper into the forest and find out what's at the end of the road.

But the journey won't be easy. The seemingly inert pumpkins have a life of their own! And they go straight to the adventurers' throat.

Now they're more determined than ever to find out what is causing this madness. Will they be able to reach the end and find out?

Baldurs Gate 3 High Quality Screenshot Tutorial 2.0

Hi everyone, I decided I wanted to make a more specific and slightly more in-depth tutorial on how I take screenshots in Baldur's Gate 3. For this tutorial, you will need ReShade and Otis_INF'S Photomode Mod. If you do not want to download these for whatever reason, my older tutorial covers alternative ways to get some nice screenshots.

1. ReShade (skip if you already have ReShade downloaded)

For this step, you're going to want to download ReShade. ReShade is important to this tutorial as it's going to allow you to take screenshots of your game in higher resolutions. To do this, find a ReShade preset you like on the Nexus. (You can find lots of them by just typing in "reshade" in the search bar). From there, most mod authors will explain how to download ReShade in their mod description and get it working for your game.

Once you successfully have Reshade installed, a bar of text will appear at the top of your screen, prompting you to press 'home.' This will put you through a mini-tutorial if just installed it.

2. Photomode Mod

For this mod, you'll need to subscribe to a patreon to get access. Installing it is really simple, just unzip the zip file and put its contents in a folder, then run the tool once you have BG3 running.

Personally, I choose to re-map all the controls to different keys on my keyboard as I find it makes it much, much easier for me to use. Specifically, I re-map the movement, camera tilt, and starting the photomode controls. FOV is also really important to pay attention to, so make sure you like the controls for that as well.

Make sure to test the camera mod to make sure it's working before moving on to the next step.

3. High Resolution Screenshots (Hotsampling)

Hotsampling simply means that we're going to briefly make our game run in a resolution much higher than what we usually would, which often times means your game window will end up looking huge and run off your screen.

To do this, we need to make sure a few things are in place before trying to hotsample, or the screenshot won't be captured properly.

Go through this checklist to ensure hotsampling will work:

• If you have more than one monitor, you have to make sure your monitor is set to show only on one screen. (This setting is found in Displays on Windows)

• Make sure BG3 is set to borderless windowed mode

• In ReShade, go to the settings tab. Ensure you have a key set up for taking screenshots, and that you know the folder your screenshots will be saved to. It's essential to use ReShade to take screenshots, nothing else will work. Use ReShade's screenshot key.

Once you make sure you have the above done, go to the photomode mod, and click on the hotsampling tab. From here, you can change the resolution of your game. Typically, I take my screenshots in 3,840x2,160 or 5,760x3,240 if I want a very clear image. Those are just 2x and 3x my monitor's resolution (1920x1080), so you can adjust if your monitor is different. Once your chosen resolution is set, your BG3 window will likely run way off your screen and potentially make your computer lag. (This means it's working). Make sure your BG3 window is active, then hit the screenshot key you set earlier in ReShade. This screenshot should now appear in the folder that's set for screenshots in ReShade. (It typically defaults to the folder where your game is installed).

4. Extra fine-tuning

There are a couple of ways to enhance screenshots in BG3 even further.

The first way is through using ICGS Depth of field. This tool will allow your sceenshots to minic depth of field the same way cameras IRL can do it it—it makes for some beautiful screenshots, and I'm seriously impressed by how well it replicates that look. The author gives a tutorial on how to get it working—I know it seems complicated, but follow it step-by-step and play around, it'll come to you very soon!

The other tool that I just found recently is Relight for ReShade. This tool allows you to add some lighting on a character, which I thought was so cool. Here's a tutorial for this, too.

5. Post-Processing

This step is entirely up to your own creativity, but I just thought I'd share Photopea as a good, free software (that you don't even need to download) to help you edit your photos. It basically works exactly like photoshop!

Ok that's it for all but I think I will continue to update this post and add to it whenever I find anything helpful :)

& Thank you to all the wonderful mod authors out there for creating all this software and allowing us to take beautiful images, it makes me so happy !!

[desklamper]

do you have any advice or tips on how to make object assets? love ur work btw!!

Thank you very much! I take a bit of pride in my craft and I'm gonna show all of you kiddos at home how to make assets like me!

Lets start with this Example Object!

the humble dry-erase marker!

First, I break it down to it's simplest shapes in INKSCAPE.

Don't worry if your object looks too complex, just getting a general shape with points where they need to be is good enough! In this example, the basic shapes are simple and geometrical, with some slight curving on the marker body itself!

(tip, dragging lines using the node tool curves them)

Now that i have my parts, I'll assemble them and organize their layers.

Now, we select the colors we want, for this example, I want this marker to be Blue, so I'mma make some of these outlines reflect this. I'm also going to make the marking tip thing a solid color, taken by that one cap-less marker asset,

Now, I'll make basic fills, I usually duplicate the outlines (Command+D/ Ctrl+D) Remove the outlines, and set the fill.

It's okay to re-adjust some stuff too! Don't be afraid to do so!

Here comes shading! Some general tips!

When shading, stay consistent! keep shadows aligned based on your light source! In this example, my light source is on the Right.

For highlights, never make sure they fit with the colors ur using, like using a light blue for the highlight on this cap.

If u really wanna be fancy, You can also use gradients to shade, just don't overdo it!

Lemme just shade the base off screen!

Pro tip! COLOR CHOICE IS kinG!!! Take this logo for example

I personally would not give it this color because it takes too much attention away from the face In my opinion, It works, but, Its honestly up to personal preference

with this kind of color, you are still acknowledging the existence of the logo, but, it's not taking too much attention from the face, Either works!!! It just based on taste! (I also manually added an outline for the logo)

I then duplicate the asset layer and take the cap off in case i want just the cap or the marker without the cap.

then, i open the document properties tab (File>Document Properties) and click on "Resize to Content". I also tick off the "Checkerboard" Setting for the background

I finally export as a PNG in case i need to use it as a PNG! I set the size to about 2.5 times the size for higher resolution and quality!

And there we have it!

A Dry-Erase Marker!

Hope my tutorial was understandable and easily digestable!

[cartoon-brainrot]

Hi! I stumbled onto your page (love your art!) and was wondering if you could draw my OC Casey with Della who are a couple.

Here's what he looks like.

Now, let’s be clear, OC art is usually reserved for commissions, especially for pairings- BUT! But, since this was sent in before I closed my requests AND I had a fun idea in mind, I decided to draw this!

I hope you like it!

Click for higher resolution, as usual! :)

I have a couple more asks that we’re sent in before I closed the drawing requests, and after that I’ll probably start working on a commission page!

[naughtynoodle056]

I had a vision but huuuuurrghhhhhhh I dont think I'mma finish this anytime soon so here's a buncha blorbos as teachers and around 8-10 years older than they usually are (Millennial Timeline my dearly beloved..)

(altered versions)

i wanted to try a bit more of a painterly look than what i usually go for, and because i merged all of the layers on sunny, i couldn’t take the lighting effects off of him in that last pic. oh well, i mostly wanted to show off the headspace characters behind him, anyways. I’m super proud with how they came out!!

one of these things is not like the others

----------

The June temperatures rise even higher over the coming days. Mornings and early afternoons usually have brilliant sunshine but an hour or two later, thunderstorms roll in, lighting up the skyline in its own spectacular fashion.

Just after midday, a rather large man in a suit, sits in his heavily air conditioned office. A meaty hand taps the end of his cigar, ash drops into an expensive looking glass ashtray. A column of smoke dances into the air after he raises it to his mouth to puff on it again.

His office is at the top of a high rise building called Fisk Tower. Wilson Fisk is his name.

He looks at the pictures you took of the street where O’Hara’s base entrance was. Word got to him that there was an opposing gang hidden in the depths of Nueva York. A victorious grin forms on his face, creasing his cheeks and chin. You have done a good job gathering intel on where the man’s “Web” resides.

A high pitched ding rings out inside his office at the far end. Someone has just arrived in the lift. Wilson looks up at the visitor, puffing on his cigar still.

A smartly dressed man enters carrying a box and places it on Mr. Fisk’s desk. It is addressed to him.

“Open it,” the large man demands sharply, as if he is too important to open his own mail.

A small blade swiftly clicks out of the other man’s pocket knife and drags along the top, breaking open the copious amount of tape used to seal it.

The flaps of the box opens and with it comes a foul stench, causing the unsuspecting man to gag before he even saw what was inside. Seizing the box, Fisk opens the flaps to see what has caused such a reaction. Holding a handkerchief against his nose and mouth, he peers inside. Three bloody, severed fingers are pinned down. Accompanying them are three name badges belonging to nearly all of the missing men from Alchemax.

“Sir…” the man who delivered the box says sheepishly as he points at the opening.

The large man’s attention moves away from the gruesome sight to the underside of the top flaps. Two words written in blood, reading; “You’re next.”

Slamming the flaps of the box shut, Fisk wrenches the receiver from his desk phone and demands his PA to fetch the man who does his dirty work.

***

Gabriella sits in her class, nibbling on the end of her pencil considering her next answer on her math pop quiz. The room is silent apart from the scribbles from other students.

The quiet in the class is disturbed the moment someone knocks on the door. Gabriella’s teacher, Miss Jones, gets up from her desk and goes to see who’s knocking. She steps out briefly and hushed voices are heard momentarily. Eventually, Miss Jones returns and speaks out.

“Gabriella, please get your bag. Your father has requested for you to come to the reception of the school with your escort immediately.” Miss Jones’ voice is calm but she sounds irritated that her student’s learning time is being interrupted by what seems like a demanding self-important parent.

The girl grabs her things and packs them away quickly in her bag. She silently waves at her teacher before leaving her classroom. Closing the door behind her, she stops in her tracks. Before her stood a different escort, someone she is unfamiliar with. Peter is her only armed escort.

“What happened to Peter?” she asks, eying the suited man suspiciously.

“Sick,” the stranger replies stiffly. “Come with me-“

“Peter was fine this morning,” Gabriella retorts, her heart pounding as she considers going back into her classroom.

“Well, he isn’t fine now. Come with me Miss,” the stranger insists.

Miss? Everyone from her father’s work knows her name.

“Come on, call me by my nickname. Everyone else does.” She remains pressed resolutely against her classroom’s door, refusing to move.

The strange man huffs impatiently. “I’ve forgotten it, okay? Now, come on you little brat- AHH SHIT!” As he spoke, he took Gabriella’s hand and yanked her away. His sentence is cut off as she bites his hand hard. He lets go immediately, stopping to check the damage. The smart girl runs off down the corridor, her fingers fumbling for her necklace under her dress.

Out came a gold spider pendant which has a hinged cap on the top. With a pounding heart, she flips open the lid and presses a button nestled within the body of the spider. She continues to run as her GPS location is sent immediately to her father’s, Lyla’s and Peter’s phone.

After bursting out of a side exit of the school Gabriella makes her way out of the grounds, getting away as quickly as possible.

***

You live nearby the school and are enjoying walking out in the glorious sunshine. Out of nowhere runs a young girl, frantically trying to get away from something or someone. Looking ahead you see she’s about to run out into the road in front of an oncoming truck. At the last second you grab the girl and pull her back onto the sidewalk. The sound of the truck’s horn blasts at you two as it speeds past.

The girl struggles in your arms but begins to calm down when you instinctively wrap your arms around her and rub your thumb against her shoulder.

Pulling away, you try to look in the girl's tear filled eyes, she sobs as she shakes.

“Hey sweetie, what’s wrong?” you ask as softly as possible, your hands holding her shoulders firmly.

She drags a hand across her cheek wiping tears away.

“A stranger tried taking me from my school. I ran away but…” she hesitates.

“What is it?” you encourage her to tell you tilting your head to try and look into her eyes.

“I have to hide and wait for someone I know to come and find me.” She sobs again. “I’m scared!”

Your heart breaks. Wrapping her up in your arms you hold her close.

“It’s alright sweetie. You’re with me now. I won’t let anything happen to you - I promise.”

Looking around, you spot a cafe across the road for the both of you to take refuge in. It was a busy, public place. If anyone is dumb enough to try and kidnap a child in a bustling cafe, many people will bear witness to it.

***

The girl sits quietly at a table inside the cafe, sipping on a chocolate milkshake you bought her. Her feet idly swing as she stares blankly out of the front window, waiting for a familiar face to show up. Sitting next to her, you place a gentle hand on her shoulder, making her look at you.

“I’m sure someone will turn up soon sweetheart,” you whisper to her.

Sure enough, a car screeches to a halt outside the cafe and two men come rushing out, both looking at their phones intently. You watch in shock as the towering mafia man you spied on the other day storms into the cafe wide eyed. His intense gaze lands on you with your hand resting on his daughter’s shoulder. She looks just like him, except with a rounder, more feminine face. You take your hand away as you stare back at the intense man who is now swiftly approaching.

“Gabi!” He gasps in relief, stepping past you and picking up his daughter.

“Papa…” His daughter sobs again as he holds her head close to his chest.

Serious but handsome brown eyes stare down at you, then they look at the half drunk milkshake on the table. Weighing up whether you might be a threat or not.

The other man who came with the girl’s dad, stood next to the doorway outside, watching out for anyone suspicious. He has slightly scruffy light brown hair and his nose looks as though it might have been broken a couple of times at least.

You watch as the clearly concerned father strokes his daughter’s hair soothingly and whispers to her to calm her down.

“It’s okay mija, papa’s here… papa’s here…”

Nervousness washes over you as you realise you’re working for Kingpin and you’re sitting amongst another mafia gang who would rip you to shreds if they knew who your employer is. You simply rescued a young girl and got her to safety. You had no idea of who her father was. 

Uneasiness follows your nerves. Suspicion of Kingpin being behind the abduction attempt rises within you. Most of your job doesn’t bother you, but you never thought an innocent child could get caught up in this. You think about how she shook and cried in your arms, how your heart broke for her. You don’t want to be a part of this.

Standing up slowly, you turn to subtly make your way out of the cafe.

“Wait…” You hear the father say.

Your heart stops as you freeze and turn back to face the man. The little girl comes out more from the protective shell of her father and looks at you.

“This lady saved me and kept me safe, papa. She bought me a milkshake too, she’s okay.” the girl mutters as her sobs ease.

Her father looks at you with a stern expression before picking up his phone from his trouser pocket and calls someone. Slowly he lowers his daughter to the floor but keeps a protective hand hovering behind her, ready to grab her if anyone dares to try to take her. His eyes land on you again as the call connects, nonverbally demanding you to stay.

“Lyla, get me CCTV of the school and the street outside. I want it in an hour.” He hangs up, not even waiting for a response and stuffing the phone back in his pocket.

“You saved my daughter?” he asks, his voice carrying a serious tone.

You nod. “Yes-“

“Did you see anything? Anything suspicious? Anything at all?” he interrupts you.

Now you shake your head, you didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

“No, sir. I was just walking along and then your daughter came dashing out of the school grounds looking scared.” You hope your answer will suffice.

The man’s gaze falls back down to his daughter who is now finishing her chocolate milk, looking much happier now she is reunited with her father. His face softens slightly, before looking back at you.

“Thank you,” he says as he extends his hand to you, waiting for you to take it.

You reach forward trying not to show a shaking hand before taking his. He feels hot as his large hand wraps around yours. His grip is firm but gentle as his eyes lock onto yours. It seems his thanks is genuine.

“You’re welcome.” Is your quiet, nervous response.

His gaze is intense, causing your heart to thump and a dangerous feeling hangs over you. The man’s daughter looks up from her milkshake, her eyes locking on your hands joined together as you officially greet each other. She begins to smile.

A small hand tugs gently on the man’s rolled up dark blue sleeves, taking his attention from you. Looking down at his daughter, he notices her gesture to listen to her whisper. His eyes widen as he hears what his darling daughter has to say. Looking back up at you shortly after, you spy a very slight hint of pink across his face, but he shakes his head to steel himself.

“My daughter, Gabriella, suggests I should thank you properly. How does dinner sound?”

Your face blanches as his suggestion echoes in your mind. If you weren’t holding onto his hand, you could well have fallen over in shock. The leader of the opposing mafia gang has just asked you out on a… date? Oh shit…

“Oh… that’s not necessary.” You try to play down the situation, wishing to get away before you get too deep in lies and with him… Stepping back slightly, you tug your hand in his grip but he holds it slightly tighter.

“I must insist, Miss?” The man raises his eyebrow, expecting to learn your name.

The feeling similar to a cave crumbling within you, giving in to his intense gaze, you surrender your name to him. You didn’t dare lie. Your hand feels a firm squeeze as he tells you his name.

“I’m Miguel,” he begins as his grip loosens slightly. “Give your address to the man outside, he’ll tell my regular chauffeur. My limo will be outside yours tonight at seven. Alright?”

All you can do is nod at this point. Words seem to fail you as you feel his hand finally release yours. The cold, conditioned air inside the cafe swarms your hand as his overwhelming heat leaves you.

“O- Okay…” you stutter in shock as your hand falls to your side.

Gabriella beams brightly as you agree. A cheerful gleam shines in her eye.

***

Emerging from the lift in the Web, Miguel taps a message to a new contact in his phone as he walks to his office.

“(Y/N), table reserved at the Frevo, 7:30pm. Wear something nice. M.”

Stuffing the phone back in his pocket, he sits down at his desk. Lyla walks in after him carrying a folder, her heeled boots clicking against the tiled floor.

“The CCTV footage is on your personal drive, Miguel. I’ve already taken a look through it and printed out some pictures of interest.” The PA pulls up a chair and sits down next to her boss while he searches for the footage he requested.

The first video shows a man dressed in a black suit entering the school. He asks the receptionist for directions and then leaves. The footage cuts to the next frame where the stranger knocks on Gabriella’s classroom door. The teacher answers and they talk. Shortly after, he sees Gabriella realise something was wrong the moment she saw the man. A proud smile grew across his face when he saw Gabi bite the stranger’s hand and run off.

“Good girl…” he mumbles as the next frame appears.

Now he’s watching the road in front of the school. The mafia boss spies you in the camera shot and also the truck on the road. His heart almost leaps out of his mouth when he witnesses his daughter run out into the road.

“Mierda!” he yells suddenly forgetting momentarily that he’s only watching a recording.

Then he sees you, his daughter’s hero wrapping your arms around his child. Soothing her, calming her, protecting her. His heart pounds momentarily. That sight is something he hasn’t seen for five years. Gabi being held by someone resembling a mother figure. It seems he owes you big time.

“Lyla; contact the school. There should only be one person other than myself who can get Gabriella out of class. That man shouldn’t have been cleared to go through. I want a meeting with the headmaster tomorrow to give him a piece of my damn mind.”

The PA taps away dutifully on her tablet.

“Sure thing boss,” she chirps in response.

Picking up the folder that Lyla left on his desk, he looks at its contents. Closeups of certain screenshots from the CCTV footage, including the man who attempted to kidnap his daughter. Tapping his index finger on the culprit’s face, he turns to his personal assistant.

“I want this man’s head on a platter.” His voice is a low growl with a clenched jaw.

“Of course you do,” she pauses before looking up at her boss. “Shall I assign someone to find him?”

“Mhmm - please,” he hums in delight; just the thought of revenge soothed his vexed mind.

Looking at his watch, he realises it’s time to get ready for his evening outing with you. He wants to go home, shower and grab a change of clothes.

***

Rain pours down through the humid air over Nueva York in the evening. Droplets pitter patter and roll down your window panes.Your clock displays 6:58 pm. With a pounding heart you wait nervously for the limo to arrive. You feel sick with anticipation. On one hand, you feel excited to spend the evening with a handsome man. On the other hand, you’re fearful that the very same handsome man could easily kill you if he knew who you’re working for. You hope this will be for only one evening and then you can continue with your life.

On top of this problematic situation that you’re in, you worry that you’re underdressed. When Miguel mentioned the restaurant in his text to you, your legs turned to jelly. Frevo is an expensive place to eat. A place you could never afford to even lick the plates clean. You hope your faithful little black dress will suffice…

A knock on your door jolts you out of your train of thought and you’re pretty sure your heart just stopped for a second. You look at your clock - 7:00 pm. Talk about punctuality... Opening the front door, a creak fills the air. You find Miguel standing there waiting patiently. He holds a folded umbrella which is dripping on the wooden floor outside your apartment. His eyes wander up and down your body, taking in your choice of clothing; a sleeveless short dress, black tights and high heels to match.

“Buenas noches,” he mutters softly, his cold expression softens as he holds out his arm for you. “You ready?”

You attempt to smile as you nod, it seems your throat has suddenly gone dry and you are unable to speak. Taking his arm, your fingers glide over the material of his shirt, his warm skin heating up his clothing from underneath. For a split second you both look at each other when you make physical contact, just the two of you, alone. A spark jumps between you and him. You draw in a sharp intake of breath as your eyes connect with his.

“Come - I hope you’re hungry~” he coos with a slightly playful smirk threatening to break across his face.

apologies if you've already answered a similar question on here, but what software + brushes do you use? your lineart is so beautiful <3

hi hi !! i'll try to do a rundown of everything, but let me know if i miss something. ☆૮꒰•༝ •。꒱ა

I pretty much only use these two brushes: 'Marker' : sketching, 'lineart', occasionally rendering. 'Render' : rendering only.

Now, in terms of software and the more technical stuff. Software : Sai2, I've used Sai and FireAlpaca before though. Tablet : Huion Tablet, Inspiroy H1060P ( pretty sure ).

I use a DPI, sometimes called 'printing resolution', of 300. And I start with a canvas size of 4000x5500, though I usually crop it when working on the sketch and composition. Canvas settings specifically, cause I never learned about these, I recommend using higher DPI and size in general. -- If you're intending to make something physical out of art ( prints, charms, stickers, etc. ) you should look up sizes for recommendations for what you're doing specific.

I also use 'layer effect' afterwards, specifically setting the 'paper' as well... paper. Whether you pick paper, paper A, or paper B ; it really doesn't change that much since they're pretty similar. You could also use any of the 'pastel_texture' ones if you want something more noticeable. If you want to check how one looks, turn up its settings and use it on a plain, light to mid-tone color and click through them. It should make it easier for you to look at how it'll look.

Like I said, if I missed anything, or you got any more questions, let me know !! I know some stuff in my ask box disappeared ( like ... 1-3 at least ), so if I don't answer an ask, feel free to spam my inbox or DM me till I see it. Between that and weeding through scams is just blegh.

Tips for Playing Persona 3 Portable

because i am (i think) a little over halfway thru and it's amazing, I am having a tremendously good time. here's all the stuff that made me go "well I wish i knew that from the beginning!"

this is geared towards people who haven't played a MegaTen. other folks, you know what you're doing, don't @ me.

TO PLAY:

You wanna grab the PPSSPP emulator, which is available for mobile and for PC. I need buttons to play, so I play on my Odin, but if you're the kind of person who plays Genshin on your phone, you'd probably be fine just playing it on your phone.

I'm able to upscale this to x4 resolution so it looks very nice. If you're on a super fancy phone or your PC, I bet you can push it higher if you want but I think it looks great at x4.

I'm not gonna pussyfoot around. You can find the game on a very helpful site. Rot13: ivzz.arg Great place to know.

I would have three save files. Slot One: the place you save daily or every other day, because you should do that. Slot Two: save here when the game warns you it's almost a full moon. If you make it to the boss and get utterly owned, roll back to here and grind more. (I haven't had to do this yet personally but the game is slowly getting harder, so maybe it'll happen.) Slot Three: Before events you might want to see multiple paths of.

PPSSPP supports save states. I mapped the "save state" button to my L3 click and I hit it every time I reach a new floor of Tartarus in case something goes catastrophically wrong. But I'm not the type of person who enjoys total party wipes and losing progress. I'm baby.

Oh and you need to trust me here: PLAY THE GIRL. DO NOT PLAY THE BOY, THE GAME IS APPRECIABLY WORSE. When you start the game it'll warn you to play Boy first. FUCKING IGNORE THAT SHIT AND PLAY THE GIRL. Also FemPC is the only one with a gay option to my knowledge.

TIPS FOR THE COMBAT PORTION OF THE GAME:

If you are not into MegaTen/Persona, just play on Easy. It's okay and no one is gonna judge you. And anyone who does it outing themselves as an asshole.

Your goal for the first tens of hours of combat is to knock all enemies down in a single turn. When all enemies are knocked down, your party does an All Out Attack and usually finishes off the fight. Hitting enemies with their weakness or getting a critical will knock them down and let you take another attack in the same turn. Keep chaining until everyone is knocked down!

You can find most enemies weaknesses by scanning them with Mitsuru/Fuuka. Do this for every enemy, it'll help later when you have seen 40 enemies and cannot remember who's weak to what.

Each party member has an elemental specialty but you the player can swap your pokemon persona once per turn. Lemme repeat: YOU CAN SWAP YOUR PERSONA IN BATTLE ONCE PER TURN. You don't have to wait to be out of battle to swap!

This is a game where its very worthwhile to, once you reach a new combat area, to upgrade all of your weapons and armor. The stat jumps are pretty significant. You'll get some equipment from Elizabeth's quests and in exploration but not a lot. So figure out who you're gonna use mainly and kit them out when new gear appears.

You unlock Akihiko in the second or third month of play (first 5 hours, maybe sooner depending on your playstyle). He was a small lesson for me as a player bc he spends HP to hit hard. Kind of scary at first but he'll be fine, let him be a blood knight. Yukari will heal him when he's in the danger zone. Also, if you are keeping everyone up to date on their equipment there are many times Akihiko does more damage with his normal attack than his Persona skill. He's like. Maddeningly useful. And he's the best boy. And I love him. ANYWAY.

Don't be precious about your personas. Fuse frequently. Also if you have one you REALLY like the skillset of, tell Elizabeth you want to register them in the compendium and you can summon them again for money. (You get the compendium early game, just chill until it unlocks.)

Oh yeah so when you start fighting, your party members will be on Full AI Mode. When you start to understand what you're doing, you can go into Tactics and switch them to being under your control. Or switch them back! Up to you!

FINALLY, THIS IS THE ONE I WISH I UNDERSTOOD EARLY. Once you start really breezing through combat, when you are in Tartarus and out of combat: JUST TELL EVERYONE TO GO EXPLORE. They will split up from you and run around finding items and will locate the exits. This makes getting through Tartarus floors easy. AND IF ONE OF THEM GETS INTO COMBAT? Stand nearby and if they start to lose too my HP, HEAL THEM FROM YOUR MENU. It's fucking great. I love this mechanic so much and I was too scared to use it for so long. USE IT!!!!

i think once you get Fuuka you can change the BGM while you are exploring. I like Track 4, it's very fun.

OKAY THAT'S THE COMBAT HALF OF THE GAME, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REST OF IT:

This game is driven by your Social Links with people, series of little scenes in visual novel style. Having strong social links means your personas for that Arcana will be stronger. You can pick choices in many of these social link scenes that will make the person happy or sad.

There's a few social links where if you want to max them out you gotta suck it up and say the 'right' thing for that person. Rio does not want a lot of pushback or challenge to her ideas. Akihiko will clam up if you make fun of his interests and frequently misses sarcasm and jokes with his literalism. Saori wants gentle pushback against her isolation but not super aggressively. If you fuck up and feel bad, reload a save! It's okay.

Junpei is not a romance option. Knowing this made me like him a LOT more and he became my best fucking bro and my ride-or-die. Junpei is great. He'd be awful if he was a romance option.

A few characters are gated based on your stat triangle of Academics, Courage, and Charm. If you have a character you REALLY want to hang with, it's worth seeing what the requirements are. FOR INSTANCE: Akihiko doesn't unlock for hang outs until he recovers from his injury, which takes a while. BUT to even hang out with him, you need to reach Charm level 4. So my ass was grinding Charm until he opened up as an option. Later, I had to grind Courage to meet the Tower, who is awesome.

BEST WAY TO LEVEL ANY OF YOUR STATS: Charm (needed for Akihiko): work at Chagall Cafe Mon/Tues/Wed nights when you can. Also once you have enough money, the Print Club arcade game will give a huge boost when its available. Also giving Junpei the right answer in class will boost Charm. Academics (needed for Mitsuru): i'm still grinding this rn lmao but the Quiz Game at the arcade and the documentary movies at the cinema will give you a big boost. Also when the game offers to let you sleep in class, always stay awake for a small boost. Courage (needed for The Tower): Horror House at the arcade, but also doing karaoke at the mall. Also, when you are tired after fighting in Tartarus, go talk to the school nurse (this doesn't consume an action) for a Courage boost.

When I was initially looking up guides for this game, they were unified in one message. Just play the game naturally and you'll probably get close to who you like! Except Akihiko. Look up a guide for him. I didn't find him that difficult because I cottoned on fast that he's an shy autistic Team Mom who takes things literally a lot, and once I figured that out it was easy. But if you have your heart set on someone, look them up! It's a long game.

listen. some social links are great (Junpei, Fuuka, Akihiko, The Devil, The Tower) and some are not (Bebe, the Student Council). I think it's fine to just... not do some of them if you don't like them lmao.

Finally, when its your day off, sometimes people will call you and ask you out. I ALWAYS make a save state here, turn everyone down to see who I have as an option, and then load my state to pick who I want. I recommend doing that, especially for the Summer Festival because you will get multiple offers, but Junpei will probably be first. Sorry, Junpei, I wanna hang out with Akihiko. (Also: wear the yukata if you're going with Akihiko.)

Fairly far into the game you'll start getting gifts to give people. I'd save state-cheat these too in case you give someone the wrong thing.

I THINK THAT'S IT

please play persona 3 portable its good

Greetings!

The cold weather of Winter has finally arrived to the city and it has brought with it the usual snowstorms and dry skin. Luckily for the nice citizens, they'll likely take refuge inside their brick homes.

Not so lucky for them though, is the giant monster hell-bent in destroying their cozy residences. And to defend themselves they'll have to hire the most professional and efficient monster hunters in all the realm.

Too bad they're stuck with the average amateur party of adventurers who are  as likely to destroy their homes as the giant monster is.
