I think it’s funny that both of these had absolutely reflecting negative consequences. Like Sonic games still sold fine post 06, but the low expectations for Boom made its social repercussions not hit anywhere near as hard but it did financially.

If (more so when) Ethan’s appeal fails, what are the actual chances he has to pay her legal fees?

Like yea we all talk about it being a possibility but what are the actual chances of this happening? I just don’t really know anything about the process of getting your legal fees recovered as a defendant.

How does Ethan just gleefully surround himself with a gaggle of people who clearly hate him?

Sure, you have people like AsmonGold or Tectone who probably don’t actually hate him. But the majority of people who have been egging him on hardcore? The Kiwifarms users, the DGG sphere or those linked to Keemstar absolutely hate him.

I have no good reason to believe that Ethan is just ignorant to this. I’d personally lose my god damn mind. Even if you want to justify this with him having fucked up priorities, my head would not be able to take it anywhere near as far as he has given the fact he has already taken so many Ls. And trust me, I’ve been a petty son of a bitch before (I grew up with 3 sisters 🤣), but I know when to take the fucking L and save my sanity.

This was truly what made me smile at the end of season 3.

Yes, we all wanted Spear to have a happy ending after all he has been through.

But the closing of Spear’s character arc of finally feeling like he belonged was what made the ending truly something more than just a good outcome.

Especially because we see Spear’s hieroglyphic come to life throughout the season with him facing constant rejection due to him becoming a zombie.

Okay is this THE FIRST TIME where someone was a defendant, won, became a plaintiff for the same call of the question and then lost on their own precedent? Literally cannot find anything else.

I do not think there is another case that is like this. If I’m wrong please tell me because this is MONUMENTAL IF TRUE.

I think a lot of people are acting like the direct aid to Israel possibly ending is some massive W when really it isn’t that much.

A lot of american politicians are using this as a crux to say that they are cutting off support for Israel’s genocide or to take the weight of being viewed as an Israel suck up off their back. Randy Fine has basically done this as he has said he supports ending direct aid.

In reality this is just performative. Mainly because arms trading is still a thing at the end of the day. If there isn’t a complete weapons embargo proposed you should proceed with caution to the politicians who are trying to act like this is a be all end all.

I think instead of trying to restrict something that doesn’t work as well in 3D we should try to expand something that didn’t have much to it in 2D that can be given way more depth in 3D.

My morale is going through it with this exam and it’s getting rough

I had a breakup with my girlfriend, my tire popped, my tire popped caused my bumper needing to get replaced, my laptop has been having a bunch of technical issues and now I just lost my grandma which has hit me the hardest.

I feel like i’m just mentally in the shitter but am still going. The stress of not passing is definitely catching me on top of it.

Anyone got any tips? Because I don’t want to make this all some excuse. I have the ability to do the right thing and everything it takes to pass but I’d be lying to myself if this chain of events wasn’t giving me one hell of a beating.

What was your “don’t meet your heroes” moment?

We all hear the phrase “don’t meet your heroes” but when did those words actually come true to you?

What’s the obsession some people have with mentioning Hasan used to be fat?

Like what’s the point?

People used to try to get to him by mentioning his (confirmed) finasteride and (alleged) steroid use and neither of those worked. So they just regressed to something that isn’t even him currently?

Like who cares? It’d be like ripping on someone for having prior anorexia and then they recovered from it. Not to mention comments typically come from people who would light on fire if they stepped near a gym.

What’s a sonic theory you have that would have you end like this? I’ll start. (Want it to be as serious as possible)

The physics of the Hedgehog Engine 1 boost games being as robust as they were likely was an accident.

HEAR ME OUT HERE.

Think about the physics of Unleashed, Colors and Sonic Generations. They have a lot of physics based mechanics that you’d expect out of a 3D Sonic game but are also strangely balanced. Like they had things such as badnik bouncing, a turn to speed ratio that made your speed have consequences, slope jumps were balanced, you actually had to take your momentum in to consideration when platforming due to less floaty physics, you can go on corkscrews and loops without needing scripting and there even is real slope physics going up and down slopes even if it applies the Sonic 1 speed caps. Also small fun fact, Unleashed actually has springs that carry speed fully coded in to the game, it’s just never used. Another fun fact, Unleashed has fully functional rail balancing if you don’t boost.

Compare this from transitioning from the advance games to Rush. Rush didn’t really take any of the classic sonic style physics in to account like the advance games did. The physics were a lot less momentum oriented likely due to the fact the boost existed and overrides so much of the stuff you saw in classic style play.

Doesn’t this sound familiar? Like the transition from the Hedgehog Engine 1 boost games in to the Hedgehog Engine 2 boost games in how the physics changed?

Why this was? I don’t know and we probably never will. I do theorize though that since Unleashed was going to be Adventure 3 early on that they may have tried to take another crack at adapting the classic formula properly and make up for where they came short on that during the adventure era. But it doesn’t make sense really for a game like this to have these kind of physics given the mechanic.

Anyway does this warrant me going to the psych ward?

As much as people (including myself) rip in to Sonic Colors writing direction, there was no final boss that embodies Sonic more than this one

Just think about it.

The nega wisp armor essentially represents pollution from the exploitation of the environment and its inhabitants

The wisps are essentially the environment and liberated animals

Sonic is using the power of the environmental forces to fight back

There truly is no final boss that embodies the roots of what Sonic is than this boss.

Other final bosses like Merlina, Erazor Djinn and Perfect Dark Gaia have the setup and are great stories of Sonic’s display of character, but this one is definitely the one that embodies the core theme of the series.

What’s a game that you played as a kid that is poorly received and you still were able to recognize how trash it was?

Typically speaking when we’re kids, we do have lower quality standards if our favorite character is plastered on, it looks cool or it’s trendy.

Easiest answer for me is Sonic and the Secret Rings.

Played it when I was 7. I hated every bleeding minute of it. To this day it is one of the worst games I have ever played and the worst Sonic game I ever played. I’d rather play Sonic 06.
