Honestly playing hacks of the game that removed level kicking the pacing just feels so much smoother.

Just an example. A couple of Sonic games have had a sky chase or sky chase adjacent level in it because Sonic 2 was a great game. But personally I find sky chase pretty crappy.

My answer is going to be autoscrollers. If Super Mario Bros 3 (in my personal top 3 btw) wasn’t the cultural, critical and social phenomena that it was I doubt they’d be around as much.

Like the ending of the show makes it very clear what the season was about.

The end of Season 2, Spear feels like he doesn’t belong. Fang has her children and while Mira does want to integrate Spear in to her tribe and the people welcome him he doesn’t feel all there. As shown by his hieroglyphic where he stands alone even though both Fang and Mira very much cared about him.

Him being a zombie is basically these insecurities coming to life, being rejected by everyone he fought for and cared about outside of Mira, Spike and Sonja.

By the end, it all circles back where he returns to the hieroglyphic of him alone and now they’re all together.

In my opinion this was an AWESOME way to bring spear back as it respects the original death and brings us a real character arc for Spear and closure to where Spear finally feels he belongs.

I wouldn’t want to continue with Spear. If we go in to pre-time skip again, we all know everyone is alright. Season 3 already had a MASSIVE hurdle to jump maintaining tension in a time skip considering we knew Mira, Fang, Spike, Sonja and their daughter lived in the end. It was a perfect subversion. If it took place after I feel like we’ve seen these characters maxed out.

If there is a new season, I’d like it to be back to basics with a new character if anything which Genndy has hinted at.

Pretty run of the mill. Kind of curious where you guys stand. Bonus if you want to say overall he has exceeded or fallen short.

Megaman 9.

fantastic game but it also caused a ton of steps back in terms of evolving the Megaman formula.

We’re probably gonna be waiting a while so why not talk about it?

I personally would like for there to be a push to creating a more proper adaptation of the 2D formula in to 3D.

I don’t just want 3D world again though. Preferably I’d like levels that aren’t based on the auto camera. Actually have some free camera oriented level design and take more advtantage of 3D so the levels aren’t basically just turned 90 degrees.

Better power ups that are more applicable to the 3D space as well would be nice.

I really want something that does feel like SMB3 or SMW but in 3D.

So I kind of had an unfortunate situation at nationals missing weight. Admittedly, I pushed my luck at my starting weight (220+) and had let myself go during bar prep. I was known for steep cuts (typically 215-218) so I kind of turned a blind eye to it. I definitely could’ve done better on my cut admittedly too but I’m not sure if I would’ve been in good shape had I made weight.

That being said there was events I held my own at and ended up 25th out of 35. I even got 9th on the log/axle medley. My main issue was bombing deadlift and squat. Both numbers for 90s I could’ve hit in contest for at least 1 rep but they were above my pay grade for 105.

That being said, flopping the weight cut and doing the math, top 5 at 90s nats was more than a possibility with how I performed in 105s in spite of having a botched cut.

It has made me want to go back but with my life starting to become more serious, cuts admittedly suck and it’s be nice to not have to do them.

But at the same time losing some real weight can be an opportunity to not have to go as steep and use the weight loss as an opportunity to go harder on conditioning.

Or I can just save 90s for bigger shows and do 105 shows so I can compete a bit more frequently without cutting.

This is something that has always kind of mesmerized me.

Did your views change? Did your perspective of him change? Or did he lessen concerns you had?

This feels like preaching to the choir since we’re all on the same page but I do just need to let this out lol.

I don’t know why these liberals are even arguing this. I mean obviously, a lot of them are performative. That’s why their leaders in the Democratic Party are starting to show they don’t actually have the teeth to bite down on Trump. EVEN IN THE VERY CLEAR FACE OF TAKING THE MAJORITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.

Did they not learn from their own President Obama who had a father who was an atheist before he was born that they still tried to say he was a Muslim? Or all the racist stuff said about Kamala Harris?

Abdul El Sayed can become an ex-Muslim anti-theist who loves Israel tomorrow and republicans would just call it Taqiyya. This literally doesn’t matter. They’ll find a way to use their rhetoric.

But hey, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Easiest one for me is the change of perspective when it comes to your back rounding during a deadlift.

People used to view that as literally a death sentence for your back. It was around the early 2020s this notion started to go away.

It’s crazy because all of those studies originally done to popularize that belief were done with the spines of dead pigs lol.

Okay obviously pre-emptively and not to be a 🤓, but overrated doesn’t mean “everyone loves it and here’s why it sucks” it can still be good, but treated like it’s way better than it is.

Recently, I made a post about my friend not talking to me after I told his son he has shit taste for liking Sonic Frontiers. His son got upset and told his dad and we haven’t spoken for a couple days.

Well my friend reached out to me. He said he valued our relationship too much to cut me off over this and that while his son was upset, his son also missed having me around and views me like his own uncle. While he was willing to forgive me he said his son still comes first so he wanted me to apologize.

I got FURIOUS. I told him he’s a shit father for making his son so passionless and ambitionless and that HE should apologize for giving his son such poor taste. I wanted to improve his son’s passion and ambition and HE couldn’t handle a little bit of tough love. That son will grow to be a pampered brat and pity him.

He blocked me and told me that he gave me a chance to genuinely express being sorry and that he’s sad to see it end like this. I hold no emotional qualms whatsoever for how shitty of a parent he is.

Anyway, that’s the story. Am I being too much here?

And I don’t mean where things just happen to be great and then infrequent. I mean it was hailed by audiences, was met with poor reception in later titles and just has not had a good title since.

So I wouldn’t put something like Crash or Sonic on here since while yes, they have struggled after their prime, they had some fantastic releases between those poor titles.

To keep it short, my friend has a kid who loves Sonic. I’m basically an Uncle to him since I’ve been around ever since he was born. My friend isn’t that in to video games so he likes to recap me on games he played whenever I see him.

He’s around 5 and recently he was telling me how he played Frontiers and that it’s one of his favorites.

I laughed at him and told him his taste is garbage. He proceeded to get really upset and told my friend. Now he isn’t talking to me. I think he’s a really shitty father for raising a kid with no passion and ambition.

Am I the asshole guys?
