Uggggggghhhhhhhh

Made me remember you couldn’t use tails flight in sonic 2

And the special stages

Still prefer sonic 3 and 1 special stages than sonic 2

[charred axle]

Yeah, I don't get the Sonic 2 Praise. Like, it's a Good Game, but 3K is literally right there

[earnest hill]

we didn't have 3. I had a friend who lent it to me though.

[earnest hill]

the first couple levels are awesome, and most people didn't get any further than them

[ornate zinc]

Technically that two games

Question become which game is better sonic 3 or sonic and knuckles

[earnest hill]

Didn't they come together?

[ornate zinc]

They usually do nowadays

But they were separated at launch

[earnest hill]

I don't know if I ever played 3 outside of knuckles

[charred axle]

Can Confirm, since I Played All of 1 & 3K on DS, but Not all of 2

[earnest hill]

2 is great up until whatever level is after the casino

[charred axle]

They did, since that was the Original Intent and Vision

[earnest hill]

I always wanted Sonic CD as a kid, but we didn't have it

[ornate zinc]

Because they were separated, they made Knuckles be useable on sonic 2

[earnest hill]

sega with their ridiculous system upgrades

my friend had the full 3dx cd setup

[ornate zinc]

Sonic CD is good for what it is

The JP music literally beat out the classic games music

[earnest hill]

the only game we had for sega cd was the ecco the dolphin 2 game

I think my dad just got it so we'd have a cd player in the house

[ornate zinc]

There was the 32x bit upgrade

[charred axle]

The fact that they Released the CD and 32X So Late into the Genesis's Lifespan is Insane to Me

[earnest hill]

sega was kinda ahead of their time though, trying to release a slightly more powerful console without needing to just scrap your old console

[charred axle]

Hill Top Zone?

[earnest hill]

it just failed, but it was a interesting concept. kinda like if that upgraded PS4 actually had exclusive games

[ornate zinc]

Okay so knuckles chaotix and sonic cd might be my favorite classic sonic music out of all 5 games

[earnest hill]

I picked up a 32X at a yard sale a couple years back, but it doesn't work. The capacitors in a bunch of sega systems were cheap and tended to explode. If I knew more about electronic repair I could swap them out

that and trying to plug in all these huge power bricks at the same time

[charred axle]

I Think they Made a Specific Outlet for if you had the Console and Both Add-Ons

[ornate zinc]

Y’all heard the genesis model in Europe were slower than in us and jp

[earnest hill]

yeah, something about the pal tv refresh rate

[charred axle]

Yep. 50hz instead of 60hz due to PAL TVs being 50hz

[wild shale]

sega created the worlds first dlc

downloadable cartridge

[charred axle]

Lasted Up to the 6th Generation iirc

[earnest hill]

it actually a bit of NES speedrunning trivia, because most emulators run the nes at 60fps, but the actual NTSC nes ran at 60.1

[charred axle]

capcom with street fighter 2:

[ornate zinc]

Street fighters series never made sense why is their so many different versions

[earnest hill]

I had a friend with the sega version of SF2. He was ultra jealous of my SNES version

but the sega mortal kombat was much better so it all evens out

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, it wouldn't be shocking at all. Much like Mario Kart, they are just.. a "NEED" to Nintendo.

[earnest hill]

most of the street fighters were just to match the updates that the arcade was getting

or in the case of the genesis, the controller only having 3 face buttons to start with

[gloomy shuttle]

Mario Kart & Smash Bros. are quite frankly the most talked Nintendo games amongst the bunch.

And also just do really well, so it doesn't shock me they would try to get him again for Smash.

Personally tho, I'm already good on Smash as is.

[earnest hill]

smash started to lose me when it was just one fire emblem character after another

[ornate zinc]

Byleth being the final character for wave 1 had everyone going crazy in a bad way

[gloomy shuttle]

Personally, I'd rather we'd get a Smash Ultimate - Switch 2 Edition than a new Smash.

[charred axle]

Same

[earnest hill]

isn't ultimate just a remaster of the wii u version

[ornate zinc]

It not

[gloomy shuttle]

Not really.

[ornate zinc]

Just reuses a lot of the assets

[charred axle]

No

[charred axle]

Which Makes Sense since they were Both Developed by Bandai Namco

Which also Explains why its DLC was Announced before the Game's Release

[ornate zinc]

Not only that they had to make 80 plus characters

[gloomy shuttle]

Doing a Smash reboot is gonna be hard to please.

[earnest hill]

I think we get a new smash before a switch 2 edition. they want to sell the DLC of all the new characters, and its not like the old game doesn't work on the current console

[ornate zinc]

Yeah switch 2 edition is likely

They have 3 level select slots left

[gloomy shuttle]

A Switch 2 Edition would make sense and would probably be a bit less on Sakurai while still doing the task.

[ornate zinc]

Sakurai would never

[earnest hill]

it would just be a graphical upgrade, right?

its not like they could change the frame rate, cause that wouldn't be fair for online play

[charred axle]

And some Content Exclusive to the Switch 2

[ornate zinc]

Sakurai made sure they didn’t port melee to wii but with online connection

[gloomy shuttle]

It's just the issue is. Some people are gonna hold the previous game to high regards over whatever the next game will be.

It was the same with Mario Kart for a bit.

[ornate zinc]

Just higher graphics, but that it
They can’t do much with legal play without separating the two versions connection

[gloomy shuttle]

Casually, it will do very well either way.

[ornate zinc]

All the switch 2 characters and level select have to be on the switch 1 files

[earnest hill]

I don't see them wanting to segment the player base like that

[ornate zinc]

Splatoon 3 made sure it was given higher graphics but didn’t mess with frame rate in battles

Instead they removed some background elements in the switch 1 version that way it didn’t separate legal play

Or made switch 2 players have a advantage

[earnest hill]

yeah, I guess I just don't see the point of a dedicated switch 2 version

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, same for Mario Party Jamboree getting a Switch 2 Edition.

But we're still getting one

[earnest hill]

Fair

I just hope Nintendo gets out of this remaster/recycle thing they’ve been doing. Way too many last gen

[gloomy shuttle]

I think it'll be a little less.

[earnest hill]

Mario rpg, links awakening. Basically 1:1 games with upgraded graphics and nothing actually new

Still great games, but nothing actually new in them

[gloomy shuttle]

They'll probably still have the occasional remake or remaster, but probably not as frequent.

[ornate zinc]

Nah they did add something new, it just wasn’t very much

[earnest hill]

They made Mario RPG a lot easier

[gloomy shuttle]

By the way, I completed everything in the Fortnite passes and cancelled my automatic renewal.

Oh and if there is anything interesting with tomorrow's update of interest.

Hopefully you guys can @ me. ^^;

[gloomy shuttle]

Hi!!!!!!

[ornate zinc]

Link, this is just a normal guy saying a normal line

[hollow willow]

FN server is UP!!!

[spice obsidian]

@hollow dove I just wonder what happened to that new driver and karts people were talking about

[hollow willow]

bah

FN server is DOWN!

[tall forge]

I kept quoting that on stream since I heard it so often along with other voice lines that I was hearing a lot

That same pedestrian had the voice line of, me starving here ( obviously me being replaced with the other word )

And only 167 more days till retirement

[hollow dove]

Idk tbh, people were saying it was from mkw but idk. I guess the only thing we can hope for is that they add the three missing tracks to the game

[spice obsidian]

What are those? Some new ones or variants of existing ones? Sorry I haven't paid attention to the reddit in a couple of years so I'm a bit clueless on certain things

[hollow dove]

They are variants of city tracks that are unplayable because they didn’t appear in the tour loop

[hollow willow]

[hollow dove]

They are
The RT variant of London Loop 3
The T variant of Berlin Byways 3
The T variant of Sydney Sprint 3

[spice obsidian]

Doesn't sound like a big loss 🙈

Imagine a MKT2. Absolute scenes!

[hollow dove]

True but the easiest thing to do is to add another cup to the anniversary tour (with a peak bonus challenge that is unplayable as well)

Idk, make it the Luigi cup as well

[spice obsidian]

Yeah but bet this game is running on auto pilot even more than FG Do doubt they do much or anything

[hollow dove]

Wait no, it has to be the bowser jr cup

[hollow dove]

That’s true (especially since mkw exists)

But tbh, I think mkt is more alive than fg

[spice obsidian]

They're not even doing anything on MKW
Yeah well, prolly 300 millions downloads after all. So bet the playerbase is still quite big. Isn't what it used to be of course.

[hollow dove]

That’s true

[hidden spoke]

Hi

[ornate zinc]

They accidentally broke this fortnite update lmao

[normal eagle]

How'd that happen

[ornate zinc]

They changed the change list to be older than the last update

The last time this happened they had to fix it in like 15 hours

[normal eagle]

Ohh

[hollow willow]

Epic you there?

START the server NOW

[ornate zinc]

They literally can’t until the problem is fixed lol

[wild shale]

i ated the server

[gloomy shuttle]

So I saw they added the Slurp character from the survey.

And the chicken fan lady.

Link is likely very excited about that.

And a chicken backbling.

There'll be a Public Beta Test for Drag X Drive

[hollow dove]

Nintendo is not going to be happy with that /j

[hollow dove]

That’s peak for you

[ornate zinc]

Love the concept of this, but i still hate sports in general

[hollow dove]

Happy Bertday!

[charred axle]

Yeah, I'm not a Big Fan of Sports/Sports Games in General, but I Love how Nintendo puts Unique Twists on the Sports Genre

[hollow dove]

Not Mario tennis ultra smash

Which tbh, is the worst mario game EVER

[ornate zinc]

What twist is this game tho

[limpid reef]

wtf thats really close to mine LMAO

[charred axle]

I Guess the whole Mouse Control Scheme being Used to Control the Wheelchairs and their Arms? Maybe "Twist" wasn't the Right Word, but they seem to Try and Make their Sports Games Stand Out somehow, Most of the Time at least

[gloomy shuttle]

That's nice I supppse, but they certainly have been strange with pushing for Drag X Drive.

[ornate zinc]

I mean, while Wheelchair basketball is a real thing,
But they do need to make it stand out

[turbid sun]

aw that's actually the most wholesome thing I've seen this week

hollywood movies actually influencing the world in a positive way for once

[hollow dove]

Such a W

[gloomy shuttle]

In before they do a new Krypto spin-off series.

[charred axle]

Oh yeah, I'm Aware that Sports for Disabled People Exist, but I was just Referring to the Gimmick Control Style they're Using
But yeah, I feel like there'll be a Separate Mode or Rules to make it more than just Basketball

[charred axle]

Yeah, seems that it'll be a AA Game that'll be One and Done

By that I mean like, No Future Support and Such

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah very much, though $20 ain't too bad of a price all things considered.

[normal eagle]

pubby

[gloomy shuttle]

Guess it's better than how ARMS was handled I guess?

[ornate zinc]

I mean kinda, can’t really name another sport that can fit

In football, you tackle other players down, which uhhh wouldn’t fit for like moral reasons

Only one that i can think of that can fit is baseball and soccer

[charred axle]

Yeah, it still seems like Good Enough Value tbh

[charred axle]

True. Maybe Track and Field would Fit too?

[wild shale]

so we are getting a demo for DxD interesting

also https://youtu.be/Ys31vkLquuc

shadow 05 stage less goo

this persons previous sonic contributions

[limpid reef]

SPEED JUNGLE ACT SONIC YEAHAHAHA that song is so good

shame it gets cut off by fang constantly

[wild shale]

we should KILL fang

[limpid reef]

not a fan of this song i will say

id say a shadow stage is a bold choice but digital circuit probably is the most iconic level from that game

well aside from maybe westopolis but LMAO

[wild shale]

yeah i agree on everything you said

its not my style of music at all, but im happy the level is back

[limpid reef]

im not.. sure if its a remix of the actual stage theme

im not hearing it, if it is

kind of. sucks, shadow has some really nice music

then again last time they reused levels they made rail canyon sound like water level music LMAO

[wild shale]

its not

[ornate zinc]

That the joke

[wild shale]

nono

i was repling to goober

[limpid reef]

damn

i guess i kind of like it more in that case because they tried something new

[limpid reef]

but why is it tied to digital circuit then..? it doesnt really look like it visually

[wild shale]

yeah idk

[limpid reef]

i think they mightve just ran out of name ideas LMAO

[wild shale]

i think the original track used alot of stock noises and stuff

[ornate zinc]

Did y’all find the computer room yet

[limpid reef]

i dont think thats even the right stage

[wild shale]

no its not

[limpid reef]

me when freakin.. cosmic fall???

[wild shale]

thats cosmic fall yeah

[limpid reef]

i guess also mad matrix but they already found the computer room in that one

[wild shale]

they probably chose digital circuit cause the name "circuit" also refers to a racetrack

[ornate zinc]

I forgot shadow the hedgehog stages tbh
I unfortunately have post Westopolis trauma

[limpid reef]

i never played it LMAO

[wild shale]

same

[ornate zinc]

It the first level, and you have to replay it everytime in shadow the hedgehog

[limpid reef]

its stuck on a console that sold like garbage. also the ps2 apparently but ive never touched a playstation

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

YEAH YOU HAVE TO DO IT 10 TIMES BAHAHA

[ornate zinc]

Trauma

[wild shale]

which is why black doom shouldve taken you there instead of radical highway

[limpid reef]

or 326 depending on how much you care

[ornate zinc]

He really like radical highway

[limpid reef]

i just think radical highway is so cool

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/you're-going-to-brazil-you're-going-to-radical-highway-radical-highway-sonic-x-shadow-generations-shadow-generations-gif-13323113422852858155

also imagine a shadow gens expansion with levels using assets from crossworlds...

[ornate zinc]

I cannot wait for shadow next appearance just for people to complain why doesn’t he have his blackdoom powers

[limpid reef]

radical highway being in both sonic gens and shadow gens is very funny. and also maybe a little indicative of how sega handles their older levels

[ornate zinc]

Oh yeah the 3ds version

Poor biolizard

Had to get beat up twice

[wild shale]

i get a feeling the next mainline game will return to cyberspace / starfall islands somehow so he could probably get them back easily enough

[limpid reef]

shadow. literally had like the best stage in the game 💔 LITERALLY nobody cares about sky rail but its so cool

and they used radical highway twice. i see how it is.

wait doesnt shadow gens also have a mash of the final stages

[ornate zinc]

no

I like frontiers, but they need to do something different tbh

[wild shale]

oh i think itd be different

the original 4 islands are now tourist destinations

[ornate zinc]

I am not allowing them to nostalgia bait frontiers like they did with generation

[wild shale]

so itd be on a new "hidden" island

[limpid reef]

how do you nostalgia bait a game thats three years old

[wild shale]

ive had a kinda wild idea for a sonic frontiers 2

game takes place on one big island where the master emerald was originally located this was the original angel island

[ornate zinc]

Make everything about the islands like green hill

[limpid reef]

BAHAHA THATD BE SO FUNNY

[wild shale]

it could be called devil island...

[limpid reef]

you have become green hill

[wild shale]

actually what if we got to explore north star island

[ornate zinc]

I hope they treat amy better tbh

[wild shale]

get to see modern trip

[limpid reef]

they really dont seem to know what to do with amy generally

[wild shale]

i really hope the next mainline game doesnt have tails amy or knuckles

[ornate zinc]

That because the main writer doesn’t know how to write semi regular feminine girls characters tbh

[wild shale]

"gonna go off on my own for a while" litterally never leaves

[limpid reef]

doesnt help that shes terrifying 💔 the generations (or maybe unleashed?) models are. nightmarish

[wild shale]

tangle and whisper are written just fine by ian

[limpid reef]

would be quite tragic i reckon

i would, uh, like them to actually do something again though

[ornate zinc]

Yeah but they don’t really have much feminine things like rogue and amy
They’re kinda tomboyish

[wild shale]

i havent seem any issues with rouges writing, just amys

and even then, ian flynn wrote amy just fine back in archie

[limpid reef]

when has rouge even appeared actually

shadow gens?

[wild shale]

i feel like sega direction for the character hasnt been specific so the writers have to play it super careful and not have amy do anything

[ornate zinc]

That because rogue haven’t had much cutscenes
And Ian really wants shipping and romantic relationship in the comics

[wild shale]

shadow gens yeah, and the comics

[limpid reef]

ah

havent.. played shadow gens

lot of the newer sonic games actually

[wild shale]

and the animation shes in dark beginnings

[ornate zinc]

Her screen time is pretty short compared to amy

[limpid reef]

i didnt see that either 💔

[wild shale]

go watch that right nowaa

[limpid reef]

i dont usually engage with like. the out of game media

[wild shale]

its peak...

[ornate zinc]

Shadow generation story kinda reintroduced shadow’s arc story

[limpid reef]

shadow trying to go five minutes without reliving his trauma

[ornate zinc]

I hope this is the only time maria is brought back
We been done with that arc since sonic 06

[wild shale]

i think it makes sense in this case

[ornate zinc]

Yeah it the only time i’ll make a exception

[wild shale]

shadow has already gone through his arc, and the past is tryna say no, but hes moving past it

[limpid reef]

shadow, even

[wary loom]

Shadow gen is the end of shadow story trying to deal with past

[limpid reef]

literally how that game ends, isnt it?

[ornate zinc]

Ehhhhh
Shadow 05 actually ends it with shadow moving on

[wild shale]

shadow 05 he moved on, but shadow gens he embraces the past and doesnt let it define him

[ornate zinc]

He uhhhh already did that in 06

[wary loom]

Shadow gen is a bit different, because before Shadow tried to forget about his past and move forward. Shadow gen is more to take the best from the past and move on with memories of those who left

[wild shale]

not canon

[ornate zinc]

Canon but erased

[wary loom]

Its no use

[wild shale]

yeah

i really wish that after generations they got their memories of 06 back

there are hints that sonic and blaze might have, but no one else

[limpid reef]

that would be really confusing because shadow got character assassinated in gens LMAO

[ornate zinc]

Wasn’t blaze’s memory of 06 in gens a mistake tho

[wary loom]

Shadow im shadow gen is done right at last

[wild shale]

i mean they rewrote all of generations dialogue so its better now in terms of that

[limpid reef]

oh in the remaster?

[wary loom]

Not edgy guy who is against the world

[wild shale]

the remaster rerecords all of the dialogue and makes alot of changes

[limpid reef]

thats good

[wild shale]

some of them are weird, some of them are good

[limpid reef]

gens was. written

[ornate zinc]

Fun fact, ian think shadow is the same character backthen as he was in forces

[limpid reef]

why did that game have so little story lmao

[wild shale]

honestly if they had more time to redo the animations it wouldve been better

[wary loom]

Sonic from 2010-2018 were written for childrens

[ornate zinc]

Classic sonic ate angel island /j

[wary loom]

Even sonic forces feels awful

[wild shale]

sonic is always written for children, the problem is that people think that means you have to go infantile and have no depth or stakes

[wary loom]

In terms of writing

[limpid reef]

thats the weird thing! it often wasnt! it was just bad!

[wild shale]

children can handle more epic or more deep stories

[limpid reef]

forces is awful in most respects, although its at least funny to poke and prod at

[wary loom]

Shadow gen and sonic frontiers are going in more serious direction

[wild shale]

i like some of the music in forces, and visually its alright

[limpid reef]

i do like the music

[ornate zinc]

Music is peak

[wary loom]

Sonic boom, colors and gen writing were.... Not good

[ornate zinc]

That the only things sonic fans agree on nowadays

[limpid reef]

im really upset that we dont have like. a good controlling traditional boost game

[wild shale]

now if we are talking about boom the series its a different conversation

[ornate zinc]

Sonic rush

[wild shale]

shadow generations

[limpid reef]

omg i actually forgot about rush!

how does shadow handle

[wary loom]

Shadow gen and sonic unleashed pc

[limpid reef]

is it more like frontiers or somethin?

[wild shale]

frontiers but better

[limpid reef]

interesting

[wary loom]

Shadow gen is the best gameplay for a ling time

[wild shale]

its the best the boost formula has felt to control, you lose some spectacle but the control is so good

[limpid reef]

nice

[wild shale]

its wild playing it and original gens back to back

[limpid reef]

does shadow not control like a freakin tank 🩷

[ornate zinc]

They gave the drop dash to modern as a part of his base movement
While classic has to equip it with a skill

[wary loom]

You have a lot of control and can experiment with many shortcuts

[limpid reef]

thats good..

[wild shale]

and because of that, classic cant use it in boss fights

[limpid reef]

ive kind of always wanted boost to just feel like adventure but fast and scary

[ornate zinc]

Or challenges

[wild shale]

yeah best way to describe it

[wary loom]

Have you tried unleashed?

[limpid reef]

i havent.. is it easier on the turning?

[ornate zinc]

Unleashed is peak but the only to play it is via PC fan port, PS3, or Xbox

[limpid reef]

ive kind of been looking to play it

[wary loom]

Unleashed is the hardest sonic game

[wild shale]

drift in unleashed is more unruly than generations

[limpid reef]

good heavens

[wild shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZK8bse3Quo also go watch now...

[limpid reef]

gens controlling so awfully is genuinely what stops me from loving it

[wary loom]

Drift is more physics based in unleashed so you need to not only pick the correct moment to turn but also lower your speed

[wild shale]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2jeF-vpUNg4?si=EvK8JQY31M0z3M6z excited for peak

[limpid reef]

unleashed kinda looks scary honestly LMAO

is it.. back compatible on xbox one..?

[wild shale]

uhhh yes

[ornate zinc]

It has some bugs tho

[wild shale]

yeah

and xbox one doesnt get the fps boost i dont think

[wary loom]

Pc port is the best version of sonic unleashed

[limpid reef]

oh what sorts? i like beetles personally

[ornate zinc]

Wisps

[wild shale]

well unleashed does have beetles lmao

[limpid reef]

nice!

[limpid reef]

i generally wanna avoid unofficial ports if i can...?

[wild shale]

egg beetle...

[limpid reef]

if it doesnt break 18 times youre not getting the true sonic experience

[wild shale]

the pc port is soo good

[ornate zinc]

Tbf that also true to the xbox one backwards compatibility

[limpid reef]

yeah but i dont wanna go hunt down a 360 LMAO

[wild shale]

the pc port mostly just fixes the framerate issues on certain levels

[wary loom]

Isnt xbox one version in 30 fps?

[wild shale]

and gives you an option in settings to turn off the battle music

[limpid reef]

giggles

jazzscare

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/jazz-giraffe-puppet-babyeinstein-gif-25688038

[ornate zinc]

Btw what character are y’all hoping to see next game

[wary loom]

Music is good but it is too loud

[wild shale]

i love that one person who was doing the battle remixes for each stage

[wild shale]

i want sonic + team dark for the next game

[ornate zinc]

I do want to see more interactions with omega

[wild shale]

maybe tails on comms so he can still be "on his own"

[wary loom]

I want new plot without using old levels

[limpid reef]

wasnt there one jungle stage that runs at like 5fps

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-generations-gif-3961657583181199347

wait thats generations lmao

[limpid reef]

is that seaside hill??? i dont think ive ever seen that section of it

is that a mission i forgot about or a lower route

[wild shale]

no its the unleashed level

[limpid reef]

pardon?

[wild shale]

unleashed project

brings all the unleashed day stages to generations

[limpid reef]

thats funny

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

is it awesome™

[wild shale]

🔥 i played it years ago i cant remember, i think so

[limpid reef]

fair enough!

[ornate zinc]

You’re getting star fall islands

[wary loom]

Tails after frontiers and his travel

[limpid reef]

can we at least get a new game that doesnt use old level designs lmao

i dont wanna play lame green forest i have sa2 for that

[ornate zinc]

I don’t mind them revisiting old locations
But they been doing it every game since like generation

Actually scratch that

[limpid reef]

forces was especially odd because they had an opportunity to do something with it and just didnt?

[ornate zinc]

Superstar is the only game that barley had any playable location revisited from past games

[limpid reef]

like hey. it would be really cool if we got to torch sonics beloved home and have him deal with the consequences of that. instead green hill is looking a lot more like sand hill

[limpid reef]

superstars doesnt feel particularly original with most of its level themes unfortunately

they sort of just look like emptier sonic 3 areas, honestly

[ornate zinc]

True, but at least they didn’t forced green hill zone again

[limpid reef]

that wouldve been so funny giggling

[ornate zinc]

Or frontiers islands for shadow generation case

[limpid reef]

man frozen base was actually kind of neat... wish we got more than one act and a singleplayer side attraction out of it

[wild shale]

https://youtu.be/7JMujbpN8q4?si=_nqPpI0YVoqAfH9c

[limpid reef]

one act that isnt even particularly good due to the camera zoom

[wild shale]

heres a showcase of a custom level that someone is making, good showcase of the controls without spoiling the actual level design in game

[limpid reef]

why did you have to put the shooter level there aghgh

[wary loom]

Also unleashed has got the best score screens

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-unleashed-fail-video-game-faint-rank-e-gif-17771273

[wild shale]

[ornate zinc]

Can i say that i wished they add more content to the sonic generation part of shadow generation

[wild shale]

i get the feeling they either didnt have time or couldnt cause it was in hedgehog engine 1

[limpid reef]

gens feels a bit lacking in stuff in it broadly

[wild shale]

yeah

like the extra chao to find was cute

but the fact that there isnt even music from newer games in original gens is very weird

[limpid reef]

is there not?? dang

[wild shale]

shadow gens has frontiers music selectable and stuff, but og gens doesnt

[ornate zinc]

Sigh, no chao garden in gens

[limpid reef]

i was.. sort of hoping they would stuff like a forces level in as an unlockable. just some newer games that came out after gens. did they not do much for sonic gens remaster?

i wanna see like. a lost world stage in the generations format that would be so funny

[wild shale]

do you know the stages that shadow gens has it in

[limpid reef]

giggles

but its sunset heights and that ones lame

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

yet they couldnt be bothered to put a shadow 05 level in blegh

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

actually why didnt sonic gens have a shadow level? that wouldve been kind of neat

[ornate zinc]

Too much Westopolis trauma for shadow unfortunately

[limpid reef]

mm

[wild shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIp-A3_9I6M

[limpid reef]

but the ARK is fine LMAO

[wild shale]

speaking of forces

[limpid reef]

is this not an abandoned project? wowie

[ornate zinc]

Chaos island in generation never senses to put in shadow generation

[wild shale]

it got finished, now theyre working on version 2.0

[limpid reef]

frontiers has maybe the lamest environmental design in any sonic game why is that the one they forced him into

[limpid reef]

oh nice!

[wild shale]

chaos island in shadow gens looks way better than in frontiers

just alot more going on

[ornate zinc]

Tbf their a goal instead of free roaming

[wild shale]

and shadow gens has the hub area too

[ornate zinc]

That said chaos islands being in shadow generation just bugs me so much for no reason

[wild shale]

im sure eventually shadow will go there

maybe a track in crossworlds, or in a comic

[ornate zinc]

The comic are like semi canon tbh

[wild shale]

idw is 100% canon, just timeline wise we dont know where we are

[ornate zinc]

Ehhhhh

[wild shale]

like sage hasnt been in the comics yet, so frontiers hasnt happened

[ornate zinc]

Sega didn’t put any lines relating to IDW comics in japan i believe

So like it canon

Until sega no longer wants it canon

[wild shale]

tangle is referenced in japanese, but sticks wasnt

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/comments/1bqssm8/yes_tangle_and_the_eggnet_are_mentioned_in_jp/

[ornate zinc]

Oh okay then

I wonder why sega hated sticks so much

[wild shale]

oh i didnt realise "eggnet" was a comics invention

[ornate zinc]

She like one of the few things that people like about Boom

[wild shale]

sticks and a boom track in crossworlds, and just have her stay in this dimension afterwards, boom

[ornate zinc]

All we know about sticks is that she exist in the universe we just won’t ever see her

[wild shale]

yeah lol

[ornate zinc]

Since she was mentioned and playable in sonic runners as well

[limpid reef]

i like waving sticks around

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

its fun when branches come off of trees and i have a big club

[wild shale]

trees is sticks mother

[limpid reef]

woah...

[ornate zinc]

I know Ian wanted to change amy design to something like Sonic Boom design of amy

[wild shale]

branches is her older brother

[wild shale]

i wouldnt mind that tbh

[ornate zinc]

I somewhat agree

[wild shale]

i just want amy to have shorts under the dress so they arent restricted with her movement as much tbh

[limpid reef]

amys current design is odd

YEAHAHA I WAS GONNA SAY give her some pants or something

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

we can keep the stupid way too short dress but stick something under it probably

[wild shale]

i feel like we have seen that offically somewhere but i cant remember where

[ornate zinc]

The colors should stay, but the hula hoop dress gotta go

[limpid reef]

i thought frontiers did that? but i guess i made that up in my head

[wild shale]

wasnt what i was thinking of but yeah

[limpid reef]

those are probably too baggy but its a good vibe

[ornate zinc]

Rider design of amy is neat, but wish the pants were like shorts or something

[limpid reef]

it looks really comfy

like i wanna wear that

[wild shale]

this is what i was thinking of

her mario and sonic attire

[limpid reef]

amy i always figured was like. the most socially competent member of the four characters in like. recent classic media but her current design and model is so offputting

[limpid reef]

thats just weird! i like all of those

[wild shale]

i think she has worn the winter one in the comics when its cold

[limpid reef]

like shes usually well designed just

ough

[limpid reef]

oh thats cute!

unrelated to modern amy but didnt she have like. a winter outfit in the sonic mania plus winter animation

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

what a goobus

[ornate zinc]

Amy is basically supposed to be that, but just isn’t nowadays, she supposed to be a somewhat normal girl, who somehow keeping up with everyone else with the help of her hammer.

But the writers really don’t know what to do with her or even how to write her, to the point she being both rewritten and thrown around in the idw comics
She was a military leader for awhile

She was in like.. the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games at one point I guess.

And maybe in a couple mobile games.

But they rarely ever acknowledge the Boom stuff nowadays.

[ornate zinc]

Luca, was a meh movie tbh

Not as bad as the good dinosaur

But just wasn’t good enough for me

[gloomy shuttle]

I thought the film was just okay.

When comparing to the likes of their golden age? Definitely not as strong.

But it was just fine.

[ornate zinc]

I guess out of the two disney+ movie that has weird complaints about the style

Turning red was the better one

Didn’t take itself too seriously and was all around good movie with a bunch of memes spawning after it

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, I liked Turning Red a bit more over Luca.

[ornate zinc]

Don’t let the movie reviewer community review turning red again tho

[gloomy shuttle]

Definitely. X/

And their recent original films have been just.. fine at best.

I kinda liked Elemental a little bit, while Elio was just cute I guess and had it's few moments. But not something I'd re-watch over and over.

[ornate zinc]

Elemental was good for what it was

Haven’t watched Elio but I’ll believe you

Sequels are alway a hit or miss with people

Especially nowadays

[gloomy shuttle]

Very much so.

[ornate zinc]

Toy Story itself basically overran it welcome

It would be cool if they focus toy story 5 on completely different characters

But they didn’t

[normal eagle]

[normal eagle]

so true

[gloomy shuttle]

Toy Story 5 feels so unnecessary to make.

The first three we're really good. While 4 although didn't felt needed, I wouldn't say it was bad either.

Just a decent sequel with some flaws.

[ornate zinc]

Hilariously they already made a similar idea for toy story 5 to the half hour special

[gloomy shuttle]

Toy Story to me after 3-4 should've just stuck to mostly doing specials or shorts if they wanted to continue the IP a little.

[gloomy shuttle]

Which they we're doing for awhile, but money talks.

[ornate zinc]

I’m fine with sequels and half hours special, but toy story 5 should’ve 100% used completely different characters

Like we’re done with buzz and woody

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, very much.

[normal eagle]

i keep forgetting that exists

[ornate zinc]

It alright

But that most of the specials

This is monkey approved

Yup

It’s still good for crowd control

But not for high health

Gonna make frostnite harder now

[turbid sun]

WHAT

oh no what did they do

[ornate zinc]

Plasmatic Discharger was nerfed, no longer easily takes out smashers

Still good for crowd control tho

Xenon Bow was also nerfed

Only the arrow hitbox i believe

[ornate zinc]

Going back to this conversation, I forgot about trip, but she likely to appear in her modern form in the idw comics

As she was mentioned in tailstube to be invited

[wild shale]

yeah for sure

[wild shale]

i was hoping she would be in crossworlds and a level from superstars would be in too

maybe the golden one

i wonder what her personality would be

still shy sorta, but friendly, maybe a little bit of a nerd

tryna figure out what to give her without overlapping cream

[hollow willow]

Why xmas characters in FN Shop? just wrong

it's July and its not christmas

christmas in july

[ornate zinc]

Hard to say, Ian doesn’t really write for the classic era

It mainly Tyson Hesse and Takashi Iizuka

[wild shale]

if its in the comics itll end up being evan

[ornate zinc]

Both of them kinda writes them back into their adventures personality for the classic era

Tho Ian did write for trios of trouble

With Tyson as co director

So he does have some idea for a modern trip

That said

We don’t know if Characters that have only appeared in a main line classic game are allowed to make a canon appearance in the idw modern timeline

[hollow willow]

not for me

it doesn't sound right month

[turbid sun]

dang, my two main weapons

I was actually planning on going for solo pl 128 frostnite this year but after those nerfs, looks like that's not gonna happen anytime soon

but I can understand why considering the plasmatic discharger literally permanently reshaped the meta in stw all by itself

since if there was ever a large tank, it'd just get instantly deleted by the plasmatic discharger

[normal eagle]

those sure are words that have been said

[turbid sun]

but the xenon bow nerf feels a little unnecessary imo, it was never truly op, just very useful, but I can understand why it was nerfed

[turbid sun]

https://tenor.com/view/the-meme-when-the-gif-21470450

[wild shale]

can confirm, good game

[long marten]

yeah it's still crazy to think about that this game is only $70 compared to mk world once again

[spice obsidian]

Tried watching some of DKB but it feels like a game that's alot more fun to play than to watch. Nice to see it's got good reviews!

[long marten]

now that I think about it I'm genuinely curious on what would've happened if dk bananza was also a launch title along with mario kart actually

[spice obsidian]

Kusaan showing why he's probably the best MKW player atm. Pulled this big brain off to win in competitive.

[wild shale]

i think the strategy they did worked tbh

if they released together theres a chance that mario kart wouldve overshadowed dk

[long marten]

yeah true

[spice obsidian]

Or they other way around. Just saw on Twitter that people often don't get full lobbies

[normal eagle]

i cant go back to the way DK used to look, his new design has really grown on me

[earnest hill]

Donkey Kong is so much fun. I’m just running around destroying stuff

[normal eagle]

i cant wait to get it, looks fun

i had such a good early game in my mkw speedrun (7 second pb on koopa troopa beach) but kamek making lose my drift input followed by triple red shell followed by lightning killed that run

The Chicken backbling is live!!

[ornate zinc]

And she using a special lobby animation

[gloomy shuttle]

What's the special animation?

[long marten]

imagine cheating in a game and yet they still lose smh

[gloomy shuttle]

Either way, at least it's one thing Link will be pretty happy to see. ^^;

[tall forge]

Extremely exhausted

My body hurts so much

[hollow dove]

https://tenor.com/view/donkey-kong-bananza-donkey-kong-gif-7087281083022564025

Monkey approved as well

[ornate zinc]

Basically not using the default lobby animation

Some skins do this since the default lobby animation clip the model making it look bad

[ornate zinc]

@turbid sun yellowjacket is in the shop

[tall forge]

This is like the most bodily pain I’ve had in such a long time

[turbid sun]

very epic gaming

[hollow dove]

So errr, you guys think DK banaza is a good substitute for a 3d Mario

[ornate zinc]

What wrong?

[tall forge]

All day yesterday and today I helped my sister move and I have to go back tomorrow

[ornate zinc]

Oh, that just exhaustion, just get some rest for now and eat some protein.

It isn’t much but’ll help

Should go away after a couple of days

[long marten]

I wanna say yes but my copy hasn't arrived yet so uh yeah

[hollow dove]

https://tenor.com/view/donkey-kong-dk-bananza-gif-5486014323165361318

Me after hearing that

Also seeing DK wearing pants is so funny

[wild shale]

[wild shale]

it has alot of the teams dna, but bananza is not a mario game

like it feels different

i even hesitate to call it platformer

sure its about getting to places using movement and abilties

but it isnt about making jumps

so its very interesting

[hollow dove]

I see

Also, I was going to share a spoiler but I’ll wait for about a month

[wild shale]

wait a month for spoils!

[hollow dove]

Indeed since it’s a pretty big one

And I don’t want to spoil anyone on here otherwise I’ll explode by Eduardo, Ernie and Chonkert

[wild shale]

[hollow willow]

nice, ill buy Mecha-Pop later!

[ornate zinc]

Ooooooo you have play stw 7 - 9 days if you want your vbucks
Oooooo spookkyyyyy

[normal eagle]

dont think it was my day to speedrun mkw... the one time i finally make it past whistlestop i just drop the ball at bowser's castle

[ornate zinc]

Welp it been over half a year a now, so what everyone been up to

[tall forge]

About to help my brother in law move again

[gloomy shuttle]

Nothing much, though next week I'm gonna check out the Superman movie.

[ornate zinc]

That nice of you, take a rest from time to time

[normal eagle]

still trying to find a job, im reaching the one year mark of being unemployed

[ornate zinc]

Dang, keep trying tho, you’ll eventually find a job.
You Just gotta believe for a bit longer.

[ornate zinc]

Wanna know something funny about super man (no movie spoilers)

[gloomy shuttle]

Sure

[ornate zinc]

You know how DC usually ship Super Man and Lois Lane

Well in most universes, Movies/Shows, and comics
Guess who Super man has a kid with

Lex Luthor

[gloomy shuttle]

Huh, that's interesting.

[ornate zinc]

I just think it hilarious

Same Initials too

[normal eagle]

the more clips i see of bananza, the more i love DK hes such a goofball

[ornate zinc]

@wild shale, you know i think silver might be underutilized or is in a similar case

[wild shale]

what

i mean ur right sorta

im more confused where this came from

[ornate zinc]

Sonic Twitter posted art of silver baking in the future timeline
So it got me thinking if silver is a similar case

[autumn night]

Hello

[wild shale]

ohh yeah fair

i mean silver was in the dc crossover, do they do consider him a main character

[ornate zinc]

Part of it is likely cause Sega isn’t allowing the team to discuss or explore much about the future timeline

[wild shale]

yeah, we dont even know how he time travels

i feel like eventually we will get a game with it as the main story focus, and thats why its off limits

blaze is in a similarish boat

the sol dimension now has no enemies or whatever

so she just lives in the main universe

[ornate zinc]

Silver time travel is weird cause he go back to future after saving it in the past, and it like good for awhile, but then it ends up bad because of something that already should’ve been affecting it previously

[wild shale]

yeah like how does the timeline change while he is in the future

the only explanation is that silver fixes something, goes into future, new issue, travels back but doesnt quite lineup so he jumps forward, repeat

so for silver all these events have happened one after another

[ornate zinc]

It feel like someone else is going to the past and messing it up somehow

That said for blaze’s case she kinda goes to the other dimension anytime she wants compared to silver, she went to amy’s birthday, despite her not being forced to by a time traveling monster like for sonic’s birthday

[wild shale]

thatd be a fun idea

like someone who exists out of time and isnt affected by whatever silver changes

also im like 99% sure rn silver said the future is all good, yet he still is hanging out in the past

so that means if its ever messed up again, its his fault

[ornate zinc]

I mean it kinda is

Could silver just like kill egg man or something

Wouldn’t that solve like half the issues

[tall forge]

I try to but my brother in law want to get it done fast to get it over with

[wary loom]

Silver failing in cooking: its no use

[ornate zinc]

Rip, i guess take a huge break after you’re done setting up everything

[tall forge]

My sister did give me strong ibuprofen but it isn’t helping too much

Thankfully rn he’s just packing so me is just waiting

Since there just too many loose things to move

And we got almost all of the furniture already

Thankfully today no stairs

Since it’s a van this time and not a truck

So rn me is kinda just here for fun

I mean we did move a few boxes but not a lot

[normal eagle]

me too tbh

[long marten]

aren't we all old tbh

[ornate zinc]

Oh yeah this reminds me of a issue with the newer gens and older gens have with each other

[gloomy shuttle]

Took some photo of pigeons while going out.

[native cobalt]

nobody bumping the 1 hr stream of drilling sounds at the dentist?

[normal eagle]

mkw PB by almost a minute

after the game completely trolled me all morning while trying to do runs, the game finally threw me a bone

[lyric beacon]

these look like they'd be on the wikipedia page /pos

[tall forge]

Going back to her apartment hopefully for the last time

The van was full so we did 1 trip

[wooden lagoon]

It's @foggy comet birthday today(or soon will be). Happy birthday, hope you have a great day!

It's @long field birthday today(or soon will be). Happy birthday, hope you have a great day!

happy bertday x2

[gloomy shuttle]

Free Battle Bus decals!

For those who gotten the Battle Bus.

[ornate zinc]

Happy birthday gira

[hollow dove]

Happy Bertday!

[hollow dove]

Happy Bertday!

[tall forge]

Been helping my brother in law move and still need to load 1 final trip but me is feeling great right now

Been helping for 12hrs now

[ornate zinc]

That good to hear

[ornate zinc]

Free regular battle bus for rocket league as well if you own the white version

Ngl the people who got it from the event kinda got ripped off

[spice obsidian]

@hollow dove 2 new drivers and 4 new karts next tour ✅️ Would had been excited if they hadn't ruined the game with Miis (since the new drivers are just Mario and Luigi)

[hollow dove]

Yep, I already knew

I was actually going to send you pictures from reddit but they didn’t look that good

[foggy comet]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

[hollow dove]

Also, I wonder why they picked those costumes of Mario and Luigi

[hollow dove]

Happy Bertday!

||I know I said that already but it doesn’t hurt to say it again ||

[foggy comet]

Thanks again BBL!

[hollow dove]

And the kart is mkw version of the tiny titan from Mario kart Wii

[spice obsidian]

Yeah I mean are those costumes even in MKW? Makes no sense otherwise

[hollow dove]

They are in mkw

[spice obsidian]

OK thats good at least.

[hollow dove]

But tbh, they should have picked touring Mario at least

[spice obsidian]

Yeah are alot of cool outfits in MKW so feels like an odd choice

[hollow dove]

Indeed. Plus those costumes aren’t even new to mkw

[spice obsidian]

My reply got insta-deleted. No idea why. But wasn't anything important anyway

[hollow dove]

Oh, I see

I wonder why I got ghost pinged

Well errr, idk why they picked a kart that didn’t even originate from mkw as well

[spice obsidian]

I'm more excited about the karts tho since they unlike M & L might be usable and capable of max scores.

[hollow dove]

True actually

[spice obsidian]

I don't have alot of kart tickets anyways tho Since I'm f2p all my coins and rubies can only go to driver tickets.

[hollow dove]

Same though rn but I believe I need to get the jukebox kart to level 4 since it has quite a few rack tracks for me coming up

[tall forge]

I just got home

So so tired

We started moving at 11:30 am

It’s currently 2 am

I don’t have to go back tomorrow thankfully

[ornate zinc]

Get some rest for now

[tall forge]

Trying to but my feet hurt

Blitz Royale could get tournaments soon 🔥

(via @Egyptian_Leaker)

X · Jul 19, 2025, 5:30 PM

why

[ornate zinc]

Their is no reason for blitz to get competitive

[tall forge]

Shortest tournaments

[normal eagle]

it sounds so pointless

[charred axle]

God, I love knowing how to make Sausage McMuffins now

[hollow dove]

https://tenor.com/view/job-jumpscare-job-application-job-meme-job-jumpscare-gif-5102454363566376023

[ornate zinc]

You have two, i’ll eat the other one

[charred axle]

uhh, i think i'm good

[turbid sun]

unironically one of my favorite breakfasts to cook in the morning along with the infamous pancake (with strawberry syrup ofc), scrambled eggs, and bacon combo with a glass of milk on the side

[normal eagle]

the more i think of this, the less it makes sense

your starting loadout is random (atleast from what i remember), mythics are all over the place

[ornate zinc]

Competitive players about to ruin blitz

Which they kinda already did

They’re mainly using it for crowns grind in fortnite

[hollow dove]

Hmmm, I wonder why strawberry syrup.

But fr, those breakfast foods are peak

[normal eagle]

for me its just that this mode isnt really meant to be taken competitively

[ornate zinc]

I think they just added just tournaments data, incase they ever want to do it

Since it not really scheduled

That said

If they ever did do tournaments likely during special events like the iphone event in chapter 2

[sand wraith]

Looping so (half) good that he gave up on me

[normal eagle]

he had the free-est hit ever why didnt he take it 😭

[sand wraith]

I tried to window bait him but bro attacked so early before i could reach it and had a brainfart of what i was doing

[tall forge]

Oh hey we finally have all teen titans

[ornate zinc]

Best part is that they based it off the teen titans design
