Tbh, as an Old, I’ve been shaking my head at Sonic Team Japan since they ripped the USA team apart because Yuji Naka was jealous of them. They’ve been up their own asses since ‘97, at least.

I DREAM of a bright and vibrant cell shaded Sonic game. Those abstract landscapes would be SO COOL to explore... 

I feel like they really don’t want to work on Sonic. And I mean, of course they do on some level, but with every 3d game it feels like they’re trying to shove Sonic into boxes he doesn’t belong in. They seem to want him to be in these realistic, Final Fantasy-esque worlds, and Sonic’s design just doesn’t work in them.…

Also another case of them ignoring what is essentially free market research. But there's a reason why the "Sonic Cycle" exists, and it's name is "Sonic Team".

Counterfitting is getting IMPRESSIVE. The husband and I are complete in box collectors and have started to get repro boxes for our rare loose stuff so we can display then alongside the rest of our boxed stuff. You can barely tell. Super cool when you need a display box for your Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, super sucky when…

When's the last time you heard of someone killing dozens of people in a few minutes with a knife? 

I think it’s ADORABLE that you gun nuts think your wittle AR-15s would protect you from the US government if it wanted you gone. You’d get sniped by a drone in the first 5 minutes if they ever went full throttle.

During the run up to the 2016 election, this VERY WEBSITE ran what amounted to a smear campaign against HRC because she wasn’t pure enough. I encountered loads of Stein voters in the comments who screeched about how shitty HRC was and how she and Cheetolini were “the same”. I still encounter people here who claim she…

Considerung that POS Trump politicized Covid and killed (checks notes) about a MILLION people, I can safely say that electing the lady on the center left would have been the better choice.

I’ve never been more glad that I left Florida for California a decade ago. Sure, I miss the beaches and thunderstorms, but I sure like knowing that I live in a state that isn’t going to snatch my rights away.

*toes dirt*

This just makes me more upset about what we COULD have gotten with Stranger of Paradise, instead of yet another GQ Crew. (Yes, I know you can change their armor, but I ACHE for a game that really leans into Amano’s weird aesthetic.)

I made a black widow in Sims 4 accidentally.

I say this as a Monster Hunter veteran who RELISHES insane encounters, but whereas MH felt like a fair challenge, Elden Ring felt like it was designed by a bag of dicks. I did my time in the Nintendo Hard days—I just don’t have the time now. But that’s fine—if From doesn’t want to include a mode for working adults…

I think it’s kinda funny you’re calling people you disagree with “Karens”, when hauling off over a stupid joke and open hand spapping someone in public is a very Karen thing to do.

Well, they DID massively botch XIV at first. I imagine Yoshi-P keeps a tight hand on it these days, and is probably strong enough to fend off the worst of the corporate “suggestions”.

My sister in the northern UK is closer to this shit than I am in California to our home town in FL. She’s freaked out (rightfully) that this could spill over into a European land war, which it absolutely could. NATO vs Russia (and let’s face it, China, most likely) could have planetary reprocussions that’ll be bad for…

Not going to disagree that too few in this country pay attention to international events, but what part of Florida did you move to?! I grew up in a podunk little Floridian town and people were flying flags for YEARS. Heck, most of us saw the towers fall live. Everything stopped, and it dominated the news cycle for…

As a pixel artist, the last 10 years of watching Square botch the graphics for their classics has been agony. First there were the pillow shaded terrors in the steam version, and now they’re pushing this desaturated look. I don’t get it, because like you said, the original upscales just fine on our HD TV.

Mmmm, not totally true. Boba Fett is my 8 year old nephew’s favorite character. It’s the armor: kids love the armor.
