im glad I met Cube first time, well of course Revin

Never met Kevin

[brave barn]

I was there when it spawned, everyone that was there formed an alliance and we survived the whole match together

Until of course it was the last storm circle and we had to fight it out

[wild shale]

hi chat

[hollow willow]

I see 😄

[normal eagle]

both times i join a random mission in helldivers they were both at single digits for the team respawns

[brave barn]

If you'd like to see the cube move, I heard it will move tomorrow around 3:42 pm et and I suppose it will continue to be consistent every day around that time

my strat for rings gets way more than the rental plate

[charred axle]

Yeah, I'm Cooked lmao

[wild shale]

[charred axle]

Really Don't Know why they Restricted this Part of the ONT to just Festival. Doesn't Make Any Sense At All to Me since they Advertise the Fact that you have a Lot of Choice and Options in this Game

[wild shale]

yeah they needed to have both world match and festival avaiable at the same time

[charred axle]

The Tap Boost Task does not Work Well with Randoms in my Experience

[ornate zinc]

Tbf it doesn’t transfer over anyway

So who cares about ranks

[charred axle]

Yeah, True

Might as well Complete the Last Challenge I Have while I Wait lol

[ornate zinc]

I hope they make a open test again before launch again

[charred axle]

Same. There's 4 Weeks Left, and they Still Need to Iron Out some Bugs and Issues

[tall forge]

Sorry I don’t feel like doing it

[ornate zinc]

[tall forge]

I don’t own the game

[wary loom]

Beta is free

[gloomy shuttle]

The open test is a free thing.

By the way, here's the Linkmobile.

[charred axle]

Welp, I've Now Completed All the Offline Challenges that the Beta has to Offer

[wary loom]

Is there 2nd title for reaching checkpoint on 2nd challenge map?

[charred axle]

Yeah, there's a 2nd Nickname/Banner, but you Don't Have enough Challenges to Reach it

[ornate zinc]

It Free to play for the beta

[charred axle]

The Open Network Test is Free and Available on All Platforms

[gloomy shuttle]

Oh right, tomorrow's the Nintendo Music app weekly

[wild shale]

except switch 2 only the switch 1 version is there

also xbox one and ps4 arent in the playtest but are coming at full release

[ornate zinc]

Ngl

Something that did confuse me about the animation is about how shadow is the main rival

But like shadow is only sonic’s rival on foot mainly

Shouldn’t the trailer be jet instead

[wary loom]

Shadow as Sonic's rival is way more popular than Jet

Also with Jet it would be harder to do something more interesting because he wasnt in any Sonic game for a long time

[ornate zinc]

Shadow already just had his own year

Plus they been using jet more in advertising than shadow

…I think

[wary loom]

In team sonic racing shadow ||has lost|| with sonic in race

So now in Crossworlds it was Shadow ||turn to win||

Shadow is also starting to rise to point where people want an another huge game with him as main character or at least one of main characters

[wild shale]

the crossworlds animation had shadow as the main character and his rival is sonic, so it makes sense

if the animation was about sonic itd be jet as the rival for sure

(spoilers for the animation) they let ||sonic lose|| which is pretty cool

[ornate zinc]

Sonic losing is peak

[wild shale]

i just spoilered that smh

[ornate zinc]

Eh it been more than a day

[wild shale]

true

[ornate zinc]

And the animation is like 5 minutes long

[wild shale]

im tryna decide what my favourite song in the network test is

its probably between dragon road and kraken bay

metal harbor is good too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zlxcWgiY3I the final lap variant of dragon road i love how chaotic it is and that solo is great

[ornate zinc]

The babylon rogues has weirdly not been in the spotlight since i think riders
I wonder why sega never included them in team sonic racing now

[wild shale]

i think TSR was a very small title in terms of scope, and even just going so far as creating models for those 3 characters mightve been too much

[ornate zinc]

They already had the models lol

[wild shale]

oh yeah free riders

[ornate zinc]

Rio and the forces mobile game

[wild shale]

i was thinking their last game was zero gravity

they are in rio?

[ornate zinc]

At least jet is

[wild shale]

i guess they wanted to keep them out of non riders racing games

but crossworlds is a mix so they got to join

[tall forge]

Soup

[ornate zinc]

More like a fan request

People really like the extreme gears

Me included

[wild shale]

what was the last sonic team / sega developed sonic racing game

free riders?

[wary loom]

Babylon rogues are those strange kind of characters that are too serious for childish era of sonic which started with colors but in the same time their introduction was quite stupid even if game was cool

[wild shale]

that is a big part of it too

yeah wanted to avoid characters and stuff from the "dark ages" whenever possible during the "meta" era or whatever we are calling it

which i feel lasted from colours to TSR

[ornate zinc]

I mean, i think part of it was because they couldn’t include some of the cast for like lore reasons

[wary loom]

Sonic forces tried to be more serious and failed

[ornate zinc]

I know characters like blaze was in the sonic colors ds story

Same with silver

[wild shale]

blaze is pre-dark ages tbh

barely

[wary loom]

Silver for a long time had this sonic 06 mark

[wild shale]

by dark ages i litterally mean 06-black knight

so like 3 years ?

[wary loom]

Black knight was a good title

[ornate zinc]

Silver is one of those characters where they don’t know what to do with him because of sega

Not as bad as amy, but still

[wild shale]

sega at least has stuff going on

[wary loom]

Unleashed also is considered as dark era and it was good game

[wild shale]

i meant silver lol

[ornate zinc]

Kinda

[wary loom]

Dark era ended with colors

[ornate zinc]

Wii story was bad lol

[wild shale]

in the comics silver has been great

[ornate zinc]

DS story was fine tho

[wild shale]

the dark ages era is kinda defined by the review scores more than anything

[ornate zinc]

I know one of the writers been trying to ship Espio with Silver

[wild shale]

06, secret rings, rush adventure, black knight and unleashed all got lower review scores

[wary loom]

Idw and archie comics are nit popular outside of us so they will never use anything from them other than for inspiration

[wild shale]

not what i woulda pick, but thats funny

[ornate zinc]

Which kinda doesn’t work because one from the present the other from the future

[wild shale]

best chance for those characters and places are spin offs like crossworlds

[wary loom]

There arent many interesting characters

[ornate zinc]

They can’t really use blaze that often

[wild shale]

i would disagree (for idw, archie i dont really care for)

[ornate zinc]

I love military commender Amy

[wild shale]

like tangle, whisper and surge would fit well in with the current cast

[wild shale]

hey at least thats something to do

[wary loom]

People are trying to push Sally and Surge into src but they arent so good

[wild shale]

surge needs to finish her arc before she can appear in stuff tbh

[wary loom]

Surge looks like female shadow who has constantly bad day

[ornate zinc]

Sally ain’t happening

[wild shale]

visually im not a fan of surge tbh

[ornate zinc]

Sega doesn’t seem like they want to touch Archie for a good reason

Can we get black doom with radical highway tho

[wary loom]

They can mention some characters from idw, archie or Boom (Sticks was mentioned) but never used as characters

[wild shale]

idk if japan is even up to surge yet

in comics

[wary loom]

Sonic comics are mainly popular in us

[ornate zinc]

I think with the IDW, the main reason why Sega doesn’t want to introduce them is because they were never in the mainline game, so they have to introduce them somehow in a main game

[wary loom]

So the rest of world doesnt care much or even know those characters

[wild shale]

the problem with that is now we already have their introductions so unless they want to directly adapt that

which they could in theory

do a metal virus story game, to introduce tangle and whisper

[wary loom]

We will see next mainline game

Although they might work more to reintroduce characters like team chaotix, silver, blaze, rogue and omega more

[ornate zinc]

Blaze, they need a excuse to make her come into the main dimension

Everyone else is fine tho lol

[wary loom]

Villain who is able to travel between dimensions?

[ornate zinc]

They kinda did that already like 3 or 4 times

[wild shale]

in the comics they made it so all her villians are dead

[wary loom]

And main game gimmick is a switching between dimensions

[wild shale]

so she just comes to the main dimension now lol

[ornate zinc]

Problem being that no one can really get in contact with her

[wary loom]

Those are comics not game

[wild shale]

i think its funny cause surge and kit would work better against blaze lol

especially kit, in blazes dimension

cause water

[ornate zinc]

I know Sega allowed IDW to canonically make gay birds

[wary loom]

Its kinda interesting that from all characters from src blaze and silver still have no or almost no gameplay

From materials with Silver his model has received massive animation upgrade

[ornate zinc]

Honestly i don’t like how they explain silver keep coming back to the past

[wild shale]

this is the first google result for "sonic idw characters" umm, one of these is not like the other

[wild shale]

oh yeah its dumb

[ornate zinc]

Hi sonic advance 3 robot

[wary loom]

Wth Gemerl is doing there?

[wild shale]

yeah like gemerl wasnt new to idw

[ornate zinc]

Tbf he was basically a one time character

[wild shale]

his main apparance has been comics yeah

[wary loom]

From all those characters outside from gemerl maybe one character has potential. The rest looks bland and boring

[wild shale]

which one

[ornate zinc]

I know Ian was pretty much concerned about Belle and Sage

Because it two sides of the same coin

Since both characters were made around the same time

[wild shale]

i mean, sages first comic issue is gonna have belle in it

[wary loom]

Whisper

[wild shale]

100% the best one

[ornate zinc]

They know what they were doing lmao

[wary loom]

The rest looks like... The products of shadow 05 fandom

[wild shale]

wha

[ornate zinc]

Tbf, Ian never really like the main cast personality

Heck he admitted years before forces that he would never write for the main games cause the characters aren’t interesting

[wild shale]

mostly cause he isnt allowed to do anything with them

and tbh i agree with that

[ornate zinc]

Blame Archie

[wild shale]

characters have been so boring for a long time

from colours to forces they were so uninteresting

[wary loom]

The issue with main cast is that they are too much... Perfect?

[ornate zinc]

Nah

[wild shale]

i feel that 100%

[ornate zinc]

I don’t hate the new writing, but i don’t like being shoved references down my mouth every 5 minutes

[wary loom]

Like we never see Sonic doing any wrong things or taking wrong decisions

[wild shale]

i like it in frontiers cause they were basically recanonizing everything

but after that we dont need the constant references

[wary loom]

So far the last original game was frontiers

[ornate zinc]

Frontiers is different cause they needed open world dialogue

[wild shale]

yeah

[wary loom]

Generations is a game for references

[wild shale]

its funny cause

every game written by ian has had a reason for references lol

[ornate zinc]

Shadow is different tho

[wild shale]

frontiers and shadow gens

shadow gens didnt have refences much

but the sonic gens rewrite did

[wary loom]

Generations is a story about past and celebration of older titles so putting references there is more than natural and obvious

[ornate zinc]

Sonic gen references is fine

[wild shale]

shadow gens story is what the og gens shouldve been

not just refences, the story

[wary loom]

Shadow gen open world was also perfect

Smaller than frontiers but still big enough to enjoy traveling through it

[wild shale]

yeah it was good

[ornate zinc]

I’ll be honest, i didn’t like shadow gen story

[wary loom]

For me it was the best sonic story since.... Sonic unleashed?

And there was only small portion of sonic in it

[wild shale]

i agree

[wary loom]

Would be funny if next game would be Shadow the Hedgehog 2

[wild shale]

i loved it

shadow 2!

[ornate zinc]

Tbf, the best part about sonic 06, was anything but sonic story

Oh and mephiles actually killing sonic because he can

[wild shale]

https://gamebanana.com/wips/84840 revisited demo is out

[wary loom]

At this point it starts to look like Shadow is going to replace sonic as a main character or become as much as important as sonic

[wary loom]

Huge and impressive work. Sonic moders at its finest

Army of Shadows

[wild shale]

triplets born!

[ornate zinc]

I remember the closed beta

It was filled with shadows

[charred axle]

Reminds me of how they also got Free Riders to Work without a Kinect

[wary loom]

Playing free riders is dangerous on kinect

I think one youtuber said that he was jumping for 4h to complete this game and his body did not liked that

[wild shale]

that reminds me i need to re-setup ring fit

[wild shale]

me in a dark room

[wary loom]

https://youtu.be/NL2jkxJP5-U?si=0L7CRcxjffWQOmas

Silver has some nice moves

Btw if you get low place as Silver he will say ||It was no use||

[ornate zinc]

Problem with shadow gen and IDW, it been established that shadow can kill eggman anytime he wants way before, he just doesn’t, because he doesn’t want any involvement with eggman and the robotnik family anymore

The only exception is getting info and if the world is in danger

Eggman also know that shadow won’t get in his way if the world isn’t in danger

[plush moon]

He has arrived

[wild shale]

what is he

[summer steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/labubu-labewbew-24karat-24-karat-gif-1823621630951874204

I am the owner of the one and only 24-Karot gold labubu

[tall forge]

I still don’t get that

[tall forge]

The whole point of the level is to get as many items that you can with a budget if 300K yen

The hard part is getting a good score I just now got my first 100 score but that isn’t the highest you can get

And it took me nearly 30 minutes for one run on how carefully you need to move and what specific items you need to get in what order

One of the few stages where the bigger you are the worse it is

[ornate zinc]

Oh hi tai-

[hollow dove]

Bro will be zooming back to top speed

Hmmm, who could have reacted that quickly?
Maybe it’s a certain guy that loves sushi

Actually yeeted, what do you think is better: Mario Kart World or Sonic Racing Crossworlds?

[wild shale]

oh tails

[hollow dove]

And Taz as well because why not

[wild shale]

ill answer with what im gonna play more, crossworlds

[charred axle]

Honestly, Not Sure
Both of them are Really Good, but in their Own Ways for their Own Reasons

[hollow dove]

Lmao so true

[hollow dove]

True. Maybe it comes down to what one has less flaws

[ornate zinc]

Btw, do y’all play with the english or Japanese voice actors setting

[charred axle]

English

[tall forge]

i love this level cause of how big you can get at a fast rate

[wild shale]

english

[ornate zinc]

I think the Japanese Voice actor are less annoying

Well most of them

[hollow willow]

is this genuine? because there are too many fakes

[hollow willow]

nice I should have game to play

[ornate zinc]

I have half of them so far

[wary loom]

Small detail. If you will go wrong way, character will start telling you that

[fervent bison]

They better not put rl in fn

[wild shale]

rocket league is going free

[fervent bison]

It is free?

Whys everyone putting confusion on my msg

There's been a leak that rl might go to fortnite port

[ornate zinc]

I mean RL is built on UE4, while Fortnite on UE5

[tall forge]

No way

[hollow dove]

Did you know Fortnite is going FREE!?!?!?

[hollow willow]

because you're new and joined our server XD

im not sure to understand why you say "put real life in FN"

[fervent bison]

Rl- Rocket League

I replied to a picture of the Octane in Fortnite

[fervent bison]

Wdym

Rl was free from 20 seasons ago

[fervent bison]

True but ue4 is still rly good

Can't you believe that I bought Rocket League before it went free? 🥲

[summer steeple]

Yeah it’s real. I got it straight from popmart :)

[hollow willow]

thats wonderful!

I wanted at least one Labubu but all are sold out <.<

Like this but I dont mind what colour I may open

[normal eagle]

what even are these things, cuz i seen them all over the place when i went to the beach?

[long marten]

I'm pretty sure that they're probably popular mainly for the doll collecting aspect that will most likely die out after a while

granted that I don't care about them too but it's all I know about them anyway

[normal eagle]

ah okay

[sand wraith]

Labubus

[normal eagle]

but like, what are they supposed to be

[sand wraith]

think of it as funko pop figures

[normal eagle]

ohh

[gloomy shuttle]

Labubus

[tall forge]

Part of me wants to play katamari rn but I want to sleep more

There’s a level that I suck at that I wanna get a perfect score on but it’s 1 extremely time consuming and 2 very hard todo good

[wary loom]

I did it

And this is a reward

poor guy with B rank

[brave barn]

Love to see all the Take your Heart banners

[tall forge]

I just found something out about that level and it annoys me now since I never knew something about it

[ornate zinc]

Labubus
They’re basically glass figures for old people, but instead babies wearing clothes targeted for older women around late 20s to late 40s

[tall forge]

My sister has one and I asked her about it and she didn’t really give me a useful response

[normal eagle]

ohh

[brave barn]

You should have some soup

[ornate zinc]

Basically, nothing interesting as a trend

But at least it better than the water bottle stanley brand trend

Taz, you’re so locked in

I’m jealous

[tall forge]

Knowing that new thing about that one level in katamari me is gonna try again to get the 120 score

50 more levels left with the pass

[ornate zinc]

i might do my vbucks now

then sonic crossworlds

[tall forge]

Nah you won’t

[ornate zinc]

time to play cross world

servers are gonna be pulled in two hours

[wary loom]

I m done till 22th september

filled survey and sent feedback

Ended on Legend 9 so i m fine

[ornate zinc]

Ya Burn yourself out a bit

Hoping in the final game they have rank and regular matches as separate things

Don’t wanna do rank as the only mode online

[wary loom]

there will be always custom lobby

[ornate zinc]

I’m excited for the final game

Cause we get to play as more characters

I still question why Zazz was playable in the beta

They could’ve completed team Dark

[gloomy shuttle]

I won't get it anytime soon, but if I did. I would mainly Inky and not much else tbh.

But I would need the DLC too

[ornate zinc]

Basically 90 dollars

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah.. :/

[ornate zinc]

Yeah the price is questionable tbh

[wary loom]

you can buy dlc after release

[gloomy shuttle]

But I ain't aiming for that anyway

[wary loom]

20 dollars is a price for entire season pass plus sonic prime characters

[gloomy shuttle]

Just not anytime soon unless it goes on sale

[ornate zinc]

I meant the 70 dollars base game price

[wary loom]

i think it is fair price for a game for hundreds hours

[gloomy shuttle]

The character I want won't be til next year.

[tall forge]

I finally did it with the level

Not only did I beat the goal I beat it by an extra 500

Now 2 more times….. for the other modes

Ones gonna be so much harder since the katamari moves faster

[turbid sun]

man i love how they actually made hypno shroom useful in pvz fusion

[hollow dove]

I have no idea what even is happening lmao

But honestly it looks fire

[turbid sun]

it is fire

[tall forge]

Ok wow I’ve gotten so much better at the level where I almost beat the goal by 1,000

[hollow dove]

Yeah it’s burning

[ornate zinc]

Neat

[tall forge]

Welp I did it

Every stage that you can get a 120 score in katamari forever has a 120 score

[wild shale]

im assuming itll be the first cup?

thats pretty neat tbh

[tall forge]

Dang well I 100% 3 katamari games and now trying to figure out what to do next

They haven't revealed Blinky's yet, but I'm confident it's gonna be the Ghost mech that's treated as a whole boss.

Since the original only gave Clyde (which they mistake his name to Blinky originally lol) the Frog and the rest all had ghost mechs.

Also, the Arcade is there and they got their own Forgotten Land with the Gachapons. But they also can be statues.

https://youtu.be/ITRT0G7cYME?feature=shared

[normal eagle]

omg, they actually are gonna rework the other bosses

this gives me hope that the underwater levels arent just auto scrollers

[gloomy shuttle]

We know all but Blinky's boss. Which I'm betting his will stay as the Ghost mech.

So that it's still relatively distinct.

Since Inky & Pinky all carried the exact Ghost mechs which was a bit problem with the original.

So it's good they're giving them distinct bot designs and hopefully spicing them up from the original.

[normal eagle]

yea

[gloomy shuttle]

Also, they renamed the Arcade Pac Villager from Sue to Clie(?) I noticed.

She originally was Sue as sort of a nod to the purple ghost from Ms. PAC-MAN.

But likely to avoid that, they slightly redesigned her and rename her.

[wild shale]

so repac one was pretty much a straight remake wasnt it?

so it repac 2 tryna be a bit different?

[normal eagle]

yea repac was just more or less a 1 to 1 remake of the original

[gloomy shuttle]

Mostly a straight-forward remake to the original with some minor story changes and the 1st remake didn't have voiced dialogue and instead had this weird gibberish talk.

As well as updating some of the bosses, Toc-Man had more presence than the original with him encountering in each time you meet up to the world's boss, etc

[gloomy shuttle]

Yes and no, it still mostly similar to 2 in aspects. But with some changes like PAC-MAN has a voice now (which they got Martin T. Sherman from World 3 to reprise him again!), and the bosses are getting updated.

They also have new renditions of music too as opposed to the first game where it mostly high quality rips of World 1's music.

[gloomy shuttle]

There we're changes of course, but yeah.. it's pretty on point to the original.

[ornate zinc]

You know i wonder now

I wonder what would happen if they did manage to get ms pac man back

What gonna happen to pac mom

[gloomy shuttle]

Probably not a lot, but it would make getting back games easier for Namco again.

[ornate zinc]

Cause i feel like they do have a hidden update in storage incase they manage to get ms pac man back for re pac

[gloomy shuttle]

And maybe re-incorporate her again.

No doubt they'll update the Arcade to remove Ms. Pac-Man and instead be something different.

Maybe PAC-MAN Championship Edition or something, I dunno.

[wild shale]

ah i see i see

[ornate zinc]

I mean at games is going down the drain

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, if Namco can actually manage the reclaim the rights for her. Then sure, it'd be nice.

[wild shale]

i feel like they wouldnt change the names back

theyd stick with the new ones

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, if World 3 Re-Pac happens. They'd have to update a ton with that game a bit.

[normal eagle]

i kind of dont want them to, mostly cuz pacman world 3 itself just isnt a great game

[gloomy shuttle]

I'm fine if it's just 1 & 2 tbh.

[normal eagle]

yeah 1 & 2 being remade is more than enough lol

[gloomy shuttle]

But if they did 3, I wouldn't mind it either. Especially to remake parts of the game that didn't hold too well from the original.

I doubt they'd do a Crash 4 moment and just kinda make a new PAC-MAN World game that's separate from 3.

[gloomy shuttle]

I wouldn't mind however if they did a PAC-MAN World Rally remake tho if they dared to try.

But Sonic Racing is already kinda that for PAC-MAN in a sense.

[ornate zinc]

They skip 3 and make 4

[ornate zinc]

We have to wait a entire month to play sonic crossworld again, sigh

[normal eagle]

[spice obsidian]

Yes item balancing feels needed for sure. I felt we got shot a bit too much and the gadgets to combat that took up at least 2 slots. Also the green glove shouldn't track enemies like the red one

[ornate zinc]

I saw, sucks that it offline only, but eh, i wonder if joker will still be playable

[brave barn]

The power of the Titans you say?

[wild shale]

oh... thats ai in my sonic game...

[ornate zinc]

Honestly it weird knowing we hit the post frontier saga now for IDW

[wary loom]

Rival dialogue of the ages

[ornate zinc]

I know the clankers are having the dialogue of the century

[wary loom]

LOL. They really did it. Cream and Vector interactions spoiler

Also the fact that ||Cream is abusing Vector and Vanilla relationship is extra funny ||

[ornate zinc]

I saw this meme earlier

What vector is doing to charmy mid race

[wary loom]

||OMG Sonic Free Riders reference||

[ornate zinc]

I forget that vector was in free riders

He was with cream and amy’s team i believe

[wary loom]

yeah

[ornate zinc]

While shadow and rogue teamed up with a dialogued metal sonic

Which is why egg robo is probably in sonic cross world

[wary loom]

and Vector was riding bike instead of board

[ornate zinc]

Yeah this guy is probably gonna get a skin referencing metal sonic

[ornate zinc]

I wonder what his excuse now in cross worlds

[wary loom]

Is this IDW reference?

||Shadow Dialogue to Charmy|| 💀

[gloomy shuttle]

Yeah, he was there for the prize money or something like that I believe.

[wary loom]

I see more "interesting" Rogue dialogues

[ornate zinc]

This is hilarious

[gloomy shuttle]

I get a hunch the next GameCube game is probably Super Mario Sunshine.

Because this month is Mario's 40th Anniversary.

[ornate zinc]

I’m excited for what could be revealed than what likely to happened tbh

Mario Sunshine coming to gamecube isn’t gonna be exciting but it’ll be nice to have

[hollow willow]

BLIMEY

[wary loom]

Yeah. Vector|| love interest is probably canon.... and everyone is trying to use it against him||

[ornate zinc]

One of the few canon ship
||vector and vanilla obviously||

[gloomy shuttle]

We likely won't know any other game until early next year because what they showed off there is all that we'll know for a good while.

All that's remaining openly is Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, FE: Path of Radiance, and finally Pokemon Colosseum & XD.

They're gonna drip feed these for several years.

[wild shale]

https://tenor.com/view/giggler-festival-glaggle-glaggleland-gif-7076202383333764292

oh yeah i love drip feed!

[gloomy shuttle]

We'll likely know more GameCube games in February or so.. 😭

[limpid reef]

i forgot there were gc games

just. fully

[ornate zinc]

Tbf, there barely any, and some of them already got ported to the switch 2 separate from the GC app

[limpid reef]

i dont have nso expansion

and i actually have a gamecube so its not completely foreign to me like the other consoles

[ornate zinc]

The NSO expansion isn’t worth it tbh

Like, i wanna fully own the dlc i buy

Not a monthly rental

[hollow dove]

Same actually

[limpid reef]

id rather play off an actual n64/gc/genesis/gba anyway

[ornate zinc]

Real

[brave barn]

I haven't bought the expansions but if they ever add Gold/Silver/Crystal it's over for the wallet

[tall forge]

This update in fallout 76 has made me the strongest I’ve ever been

[tall forge]

I can do double sometimes triple my previous damage

[ornate zinc]

I see gen 1 and 2 games coming as both a good and bad thing

If they come pokemon bank shut down is likely coming after

So 5 previous gens of pokemon likely won’t be able to transfer over

[gloomy shuttle]

Honestly, I don't see how has been to a problem tho. Pokemon Stadium can't even transfer those Gen 1 Pokemon anyway.

[ornate zinc]

Shiny, pokemon with ribbons, and dex completion

Also people who attached to their pokemons

That said Gen 1 and 2 would likely be separate games from the nintendo online gameboy service

[tall forge]

Oh there’s a v bucks mission

Shops lame

[charred axle]

Forsaken 64 will be Added to N64 NC: Mature on the 4th

(idk if I can Show the Trailer since it's Rated M 17+, even tho there's Nothing "Mature" in it lol)

[gloomy shuttle]

The next GameCube title should get revealed around in two weeks.

[charred axle]

Japan is Getting Magical Vacation on GBA NC too, it seems

[gloomy shuttle]

Sounds about right.

[charred axle]

Wouldn't be Surprised if Mario Sunshine was Announced this Week tbh

[gloomy shuttle]

They'd reveal it next week.

[charred axle]

They might, but it'll depend if they see that Worthy of Revealing in the September Direct, since it'll Most Likely be Next Week too

Or they could just Put it in a Shadowdropped Mario 40th Anniversary Direct this Week

[gloomy shuttle]

That too.

October is "definitely" reserved for Luigi's Mansion.

They lessened the Swarm.

[ornate zinc]

Oh, so we’re getting something similar to last chapter

[gloomy shuttle]

Guessing like a build-up thing?

[ornate zinc]

Where the event will be on September

And October will have everything else

[gloomy shuttle]

I think October 1st-2nd probably be an event thing

At the very least, the bugs aren't as frequent now to walk up on. So they hopefully aren't as annoying.

[gloomy shuttle]

Maybe around the 16th with whatever the Megazord adds in.

[ornate zinc]

Funny how it been a week and the newest skins released are just collab skins so far
Not any of these

[gloomy shuttle]

They'll likely have them pretty soon. There's an update on the 9th anyway. Give it like 7-ish days til one of these will show up.

Though honestly speaking, the octopus is probably the only interesting one of the six

[limpid reef]

less bugs? 💔

[tall forge]

This seasons just been very meh

This chapter even more I feel like

I really liked season 2

[ornate zinc]

I knew the explosive would work

Course the island is now entirely destroyed now

[ornate zinc]

I still hate how despite the better graphics can be around 20 bucks for games you likely already beaten

[tall forge]

I haven’t

[charred axle]

Yeah, the only Switch 2 Edition Games I haven't Played at all Yet are TotK and Jamboree lol

[ornate zinc]

Problem being the content is so not worth it for what it adds

Some games get free graphics and framerates updates, some have it for 10 dollars, other like botw and totk get it for 20 dollars for so little content added

Totk is even worse cause it was a 70 dollar game

[charred axle]

BotW and TotK's Upgrade Packs are $10 Each. The $20 ones are Jamboree and Kirby

[ornate zinc]

Meh 10 bucks still ain’t worth it

20 is still too much, but at least those games actually did have content to add

So BOTW and TOTK should’ve been free with Jamboree and kirby being 10 bucks

[charred axle]

Yeah, or at the Very Least, Charge BotW and TotK for $5, if they had to Charge for the Content those S2E Games have

[wild shale]

i am now on windows 11

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-gif-25821400

[gloomy shuttle]

Compared to Chapter 5 tho?

With the exception of the first season and some neat aspects. I thought 5 was just an "Eh" chapter.

And last year's Fortnitemares being amongst those few good exceptions too.

[wild shale]

2025 is one of those stacked years in gaming isnt it

not necessarily any big "goty" games but alot of really good ones

[gloomy shuttle]

Kinda like 2017?

[wild shale]

yeah reminds me of that

except those were all big AAA goty games

this year is a mix of AA and indies, with a few AAA in there

[tall forge]

Both chapters have been eh

6 and 5

Both had 1 season I liked a lot

But just overall eh

[wild shale]

silksong, deltarune, prime 4 all in the same year is really funny

[tall forge]

All games I’ve never played the game before

[wild shale]

thats fine

[tall forge]

No it isn’t

[wild shale]

its just funny how they were all "when will they come out" type games for a long time

[gloomy shuttle]

I find Chapter 6 slightly better, but it has it's fair shares of issues.

Slightly.

[wild shale]

ive had more fun gameplay wise with chapter 6 i think?

[tall forge]

This chapter is better than 5

[wild shale]

it feels very varied with each season

for better or for worse

[tall forge]

But star wars season was the point where I didn’t want to play the season at all

[gloomy shuttle]

The only genuine season I didn't care for was the Star Wars one.

[tall forge]

Last season was good but didn’t have motivation to play br

Not a huge fan of the hero level system per match

[wild shale]

i enjoyed the star wars season for being a novel different season, but those collab seasons need to be few and far between

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't mind them if they are just treated as mini seasons and are a rare occasion.

[wild shale]

[tall forge]

The whole appeal for superhero’s isn’t for me but like some stuff from that season was neat

[gloomy shuttle]

I already kinda dread that there will potentially be yet another Marvel season next year.

[wild shale]

same here, im very much not into the "sterotypical" superhero style

[gloomy shuttle]

Based on rumors

[wild shale]

sampson

[gloomy shuttle]

Simpsons I kinda care for

Because it's unique from just the same two brands Fortnite keep piling up

[tall forge]

I care a little for the Simpson but like a whole season for it, is just weird

[gloomy shuttle]

Better than another Marvel at least..

But it's interesting?? I guess?

[tall forge]

Honestly

As much as I don’t like marvel that at least brings more on the table than simpsons

Like it’s just really weird todo simpsons as a season

[wild shale]

im concerned for what the gameplay will be for simpsons

[tall forge]

Yeah

[gloomy shuttle]

There is, but you can only stretch so far with them.

[tall forge]

I used to watch simpsons a bit when I was maybe like 15 or a little younger

[wild shale]

my prediction for the map for simpsons will be a few springfield pois, and the whole map will have a shader to look cell shaded a little

[tall forge]

God I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since i was 15

[gloomy shuttle]

I can see The Simpsons being a one time thing

[tall forge]

I hate being in 20s

[wild shale]

bort and merge sampson

[gloomy shuttle]

But they'll probably crank more Star Wars and Marvel seasons.

[charred axle]

cabunga!

[wild shale]

eat pant

[gloomy shuttle]

Dough

[tall forge]

There’s gonna be an emote for that

[ornate zinc]

Apparently it gonna take place on a different island

Could be a returning island

Or a new island

[gloomy shuttle]

This as an emote would be cool

The "Do the Bartman" dance.

[ornate zinc]

I think chapter 3 island is still in the files

[wild shale]

i feel like a full island for simpsons wouldnt happen, star wars would be far more likely for that to happen

[wild shale]

and that one is next for the og / remix at the end of the chapter

[tall forge]

Soup

[gloomy shuttle]

Apparently Chapter 7 is rumored to getting another Marvel season tho.

[tall forge]

Cringe

[gloomy shuttle]

But it's Symbiote themed or something.

[wild shale]

hmmmm

i like that more than doom themed

[gloomy shuttle]

It's a mini season

[wild shale]

tbh i wouldnt have minded marvel if it didnt last as long

[gloomy shuttle]

So it'll be treated like the Star Wars/Simpsons thing.

Just a month.

[wild shale]

yeah a month would be fine

[ornate zinc]

That one is in November basically when this chapter ends

[wild shale]

[ornate zinc]

Am i excited kinda

[wild shale]

sonic mini season coming trust

[ornate zinc]

Persona 5 collab coming

[gloomy shuttle]

Jet Set Radio Collab.

[wild shale]

man, a sega mini season could be fun actually

[ornate zinc]

(Aka fortnite shut down coming soon)

[gloomy shuttle]

Nothing can kill Fortnite beyond their own stupidity.

[wild shale]

like sonic poi, persona / yakuza poi etc

[ornate zinc]

We’re still playing despite skibidi toilet

[wild shale]

angry birds poi

[gloomy shuttle]

Jet Set Radio POI

[wild shale]

jet set would probably get a movement item, presumably skates

or blades

[gloomy shuttle]

I do expect them another Star Wars Mini Season tho.

Just not right away however.

[ornate zinc]

Nah too much backlash

[gloomy shuttle]

Didn't stop Marvel

[ornate zinc]

Marvel was different tho

[wild shale]

eventually we'll get another one

[ornate zinc]

The marvel season in chapter 2 was fun
The one in chapter 5 was not

[wild shale]

backlash or not it got alot of players

sorta

[ornate zinc]

It was also the lowest player count mid month

[gloomy shuttle]

Star Wars season didn't really too hot apparently

[wild shale]

peak playercount and somehow lowest player count

[ornate zinc]

It was high cause of the event

[gloomy shuttle]

But again, it's because has done Star Wars several times already

[ornate zinc]

And launch, after that it dropped heavily

[wild shale]

[ornate zinc]

The star wars stuff was just boring overall

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, a Symbiote season would be neat I guess?

[wild shale]

both at same time

[gloomy shuttle]

But I don't know how far you would push it?

[wild shale]

symbiote star wars

[gloomy shuttle]

I guess maybe original characters with the Symbiote?

[ornate zinc]

I know star wars and marvel are likely coming to creative soon

[gloomy shuttle]

Venom Meowscles

[tall forge]

There was?

[ornate zinc]

AI, boring gameplay, collab season, etc etc

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, what else could they pull after they do a Symbiote season tho?

[ornate zinc]

The barbie season

[gloomy shuttle]

For yet another Marvel theme?

[gloomy shuttle]

I meant just Marvel wise.

[ornate zinc]

Let barbie in

[gloomy shuttle]

They'd need Mattel

Which Fall Guys did Masters of the Universe I guess.

But no odds within Fortnite so far

Cartoon Network Mini season

[tall forge]

About to be at the page with the bonus recolors

And on the final page of the music pass

I still would love a green day festival season

Also wondering if we’ll ever get a full album from any artist

[gloomy shuttle]

I kinda wanna see a Weird Al season

Particularly for his music to be in the game.

[ornate zinc]

tomorrow is miniboss season

which mean vbucks season

[tall forge]

Can’t wait to play 19 minutes of Albuquerque

[tall forge]

Hopefully

It’s been pretty dry this year compared to last

[turbid sun]

ch2s4 might have been the best season aot

actually id say ch2s1 & 2 were better but it was still peak

[tall forge]

Oh there’s 3 new songs coming this week

Slowly getting more now

[ornate zinc]

meh i'll save the festival stuff for og season

[turbid sun]

oh I just saw the new festival artist

man I was really hoping it was gonna be something good

[ornate zinc]

this is peak lol

[turbid sun]

ig it's another waiting fest for the new season

[turbid sun]

respectfully no imo

never really listened to gorillaz and I personally don't care for their music

At least I got elite zadie from the shop tho

Ig i just wait for the new og pass now

[tall forge]

Is this OG pass already almost over?

[ornate zinc]

We have a full month left

Dire is likely the crew pack or og pass

[tall forge]

I got an ad for gamefly and I completely forgot they exist

[ornate zinc]

Probably because stuff like xbox gamepass and PlayStation subscription exist

[normal eagle]

i remember i rented dark souls 3 from gamefly, i almost broke the disc cuz i got so mad

[earnest hill]

I had a GameFly membership for a little bit. I don’t think it was very good and I didn’t use it a ton.

[normal eagle]

but since gamepass and ps plus exists it kind of makes gamefly a little redundant

[hollow willow]

Dark Souls is always hard as what I heard about

[earnest hill]

The only market I could see it being viable in are remote places without good internet.

But with modern development and day one patches even that isn’t really a solution

[normal eagle]

yea

add vigil with it and you just dont have scratch marks anymore

also sadako is DOA with this patch

god i need more mp games to play

[sand wraith]

"Heard you talking runt, yes?"

[normal eagle]

DT is kind of boring :(

i cant play helldivers cuz performance issues and 141GB is absurd for one game

[sand wraith]

You are boring /j

Honestly I am just starving for a nee content update

[normal eagle]

i feel like im going through the same 5 places in DT 😭

everything looks the same

[sand wraith]

Maybe late this month we finally getting update

And Arbites just been insane to play

[normal eagle]

and again, as much as i want to experience the new helldivers content... 141GB

its the same size as baldur's gate 3 😭

[sand wraith]

Same can be said with HD2

[normal eagle]

i mean yea... but atleast HD2 has color to it

everything in DT is just bleak and gray, which yes thats the whole point of 40k... but i mean every mission feels like it takes place in one of five different locales

[sand wraith]

Wait until you play vent purge and lights out modifiers in Darktide

Woe, 10 snipers be upon ye

[sand wraith]

Different regions of the hive city sharing some locations yes

But it really the most fun is to know the layout and use for your advantage aka teamkil with barrels

[normal eagle]

why cant helldivers just be ~30GB like on console

[ornate zinc]

huh

Just realized something

Green hill isn’t in crossworlds

[gloomy shuttle]

E-Stadium technically has Green Hill elements.

But that's about it

[tall forge]

The thing I hate about people recreating the meme is leaving out the part where the main point of the joke was swerving off-road last second to hit them

[ornate zinc]

shush, let pac man take that overused zone with him

[wary loom]

they havent revealed all tracks yet

and we have Shadow's "Green Hill"

[ornate zinc]

Eh, Still not as bad as green hill

[gloomy shuttle]

Radical Highway?

[wild shale]

e-stadium is a good way to reference green hill without actually having the stage

also has green hill actually been in a 3d sonic racing game lmao

[gloomy shuttle]

At least it ain't Ocean Palace/Seaside Hill as a racetrack again

[wild shale]

i mean we have that in crossworlds

seside hill is the green hill for sonic racing games

[gloomy shuttle]

Wait there is?

[wild shale]

yeah it was in the first playtest

[ornate zinc]

I forgot about the first playtest tbh

[gloomy shuttle]

Literally the Green Hill of Sonic Racing games

Ever since Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing brought it

[ornate zinc]

I don’t mind it tbh

That said, if one of the free post launch characters is classic sonic and come with green hill, i will be screaming in terror

[gloomy shuttle]

I don't hate it, but there's just other Sonic Heroes maps.

Frog Forest, I dunno.

[wild shale]

at least it isnt like TSR where we have 3 tracks for each zone

[gloomy shuttle]

True, though I never touched on Team Sonic Racing.

[ornate zinc]

I see green hill zone in my nightmares

[limpid reef]

this level isnt even good fun fact

[gloomy shuttle]

I get some annoyance with Green Hill to an extent as it was in most games since Generations

[ornate zinc]

Nope before that even

[limpid reef]

although i dont remember there being a loop in sa2 ghz

[gloomy shuttle]

Sonic Adventure 2 was that one time tho.

They stopped afterwards

[ornate zinc]

Nope, sunset hill, and neo green hill, and sonic battle green hill

[gloomy shuttle]

Okay.

But yeah, Team Sonic Racing was the only Racing game I skipped out on tbh.

[gloomy shuttle]

Only because it wasn't really SEGA All-Stars Racing game anymore before CrossWorlds kinda brought it back. ^^;

[wild shale]

i would have prefered a green hill stage over seaside hill tbh

[limpid reef]

im not sure why they even opted to label the sonic advance 1 & 3 levels green hill theyre clearly at least somewhat different

[gloomy shuttle]

Would've preferred an Angel Island map over both of them.

[limpid reef]

sunset hill has a completely different floor pattern, no? they couldve made something more original without that much trouble

[wild shale]

yeah like the north star stage that goes thru the zones?

how long till this stage gets ported to crossworlds lol

[gloomy shuttle]

Probably

[ornate zinc]

The song is a remix of green hill zone

[limpid reef]

yeah!! like, why

[wild shale]

there is one other stage

[limpid reef]

feels like they made something like 50% different and then just gave up

[limpid reef]

green hill was really cool in sa2 and generations and like no other time

[wild shale]

green hillS zone

[ornate zinc]

It was even in super stars

[wild shale]

that was cute as a small reference

[ornate zinc]

I am very sick and tired of green hill zone

[gloomy shuttle]

It'd be like if Mario kept referencing Level 1-1 from Super Mario Bros.

[limpid reef]

tbf green hill has actual aesthetic appeal unlike 1-1

but it is sort of annoying LMAO

[wild shale]

they do reference 1-1 every now and then

[gloomy shuttle]

They do.

[wild shale]

but moreso they reference the asetheics of 1-1

the thing with mario 1 is that the whole game looked the same, rather than distinct visuals per world

[gloomy shuttle]

I mean, every Kirby game has a Whispy Woods.

[limpid reef]

part of me wouldve liked to see a different heroes level but i dont darn well theyre gonna butcher the music lmao

[wild shale]

well dont you worry, seaside hill doesnt have a heroes song

[ornate zinc]

I thought they did the casino level in the beta

[wild shale]

it has a remix of you can do anything from CD

[limpid reef]

oh, like tsr

[gloomy shuttle]

Like Transformed

[wild shale]

yep

[limpid reef]

okay that too LMAO never played that one

[wild shale]

its been a tradition for some reason

[gloomy shuttle]

Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed did it first.

[wild shale]

give it 24 hours before the generations remix is put in as a mod

[gloomy shuttle]

Because the remix was liked a lot.

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

Transformed had such a great soundtrack

[limpid reef]

gens remix of seaside hill makes me sad because they shortened ocean palace

[ornate zinc]

https://youtu.be/ksUfkelYLr4?si=mZrYY5c5r_Yk9omV
yeah here it is

[wild shale]

hey at least it included it technically thats a different stage

[limpid reef]

giggles

[gloomy shuttle]

Roulette Road has also been in most Sonic Racing games.

Not every

But most.

[limpid reef]

seaside hill is not my first pick to be brought back for a gens level but i suppose it makes sense given that its. very open and generations is a boost game

[gloomy shuttle]

Anyways, currently watching a movie.

[wild shale]

its funny cause the crossworlds, like across the board have had better ost than the main tracks

[ornate zinc]

Honestly i would’ve prefer some of the stages in the 3ds version to be on the console version

[wild shale]

sonic gens has a real big city problem

like 4/9 stages are cities

[limpid reef]

i hate how many of the stages are first levels

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

and one of the only late game stages they took (sky sanctuary) is literally the last stage i wouldve wanted to see back from s3&k

[gloomy shuttle]

Mushroom Hill race map would've been cool

[limpid reef]

doesnt help that sky sactuary in gens is awful

well, act 1 was okay

[wild shale]

okay i was botta say

act 1 is good

wait no

act 2 i like, i hate act 1

[ornate zinc]

Act 1 is all green
While act 2 is all autumn

[wild shale]

but tbh i dont think classic sonic in gens is all that good

[limpid reef]

classic is way less frustrating than modern

modern controls. so bad i have no idea how that happened 💔

[wild shale]

[limpid reef]

and then they arguably one upped it in forces giggles

[wild shale]

i think theyre good in gens, but they dont gel with everyone for sure

[ornate zinc]

Modern controls in forces is press one button to win

[limpid reef]

nothing about the way modern controls in gens makes sense

💔

[gloomy shuttle]

But yeah, I'm hoping for more SEGA characters to appear into CrossWorlds.

[wild shale]

how dare you have a different opinion!!

[limpid reef]

violent little thing hehe

[wild shale]

[gloomy shuttle]

AiAi & Beat I hope are part of the free characters.

[limpid reef]

i think part of it is the camera angle in 2d

[wild shale]

best camera in boost 2d is shadow gens

[limpid reef]

its like. genuinely impossible to react to whats coming up in some sections

[ornate zinc]

You know i’m happy a bit that super stars get a stage in crossroad

[wild shale]

oh yeah for sure, thats a big problem with gens and unleashed, if you dont know the tracks you probably arent getting best times

[limpid reef]

theres a jump close to the start of chemical plant that you have to just vibe check i think it literally comes up too fast for human reaction time to take effect especially given that gens loves eating your jumps if youre too close to a ledge
