Dang, this video sums up basically all my problems with Sonic CD. A good watch. Hirokazu Yasuhara's absence as level designer in CD (compared to him being in the entire Genesis trilogy) is very much felt.

Scott the God stay delivering

I love Sonic CD and still agree with most of his points. Oh, and Scott is great. One of the best content creators on the platform atm.

Can't help but agree, I ****ing hate Sonic CD's levels. BUT.

Sonic CD's actual CD looks ****ing amazing.

Spoiler

The actual aesthetic of the levels I don't think are bad, I actually really like them. I love the surreal, trippy and futuristic feeling CD gives off. Each Zone had its own surrealism that made it unique.

I also disagree with "they don't look like actual places" critique. In Collision Chaos, the VERY TOP of the level...is Never Lake.

Spoiler

Collision Chaos is at the bottom of Little Planet. That is some cool attention to detail.

If you place them side by side with levels from the trilogy they don't look out of place:

Spoiler

I think as long as the level looks cool and doesn't go too overboard with the colours like Amazing Arena from Chaotix then it's fine.


Don't even get me started on the Special Stages. This early 90's fantasy/ futuristic oil painting, Planet Mega:

Spoiler

Made for a really awesome area in the 4th Special Stage:

I would like more Sonic games with this kind of atmosphere. As trippy and surreal as Special Stages tend to be across all Sonic games, those are actual locations described as another dimension in the Japanese manual to Sonic & Tails 2. People even live there like Fang, that's why you see literal cities and junk.

They may not look realistic but they are actual locations within the world itself.

The only real issue I’ve had with the Sonic games I’ve played is the fact that, for a game all about speed, the level designs feel like they weren’t made with speed in mind, apart from a few sections.

Which games are you playing? Cause the Classic mentality since 2 is "Your reward for being good is going super fast"

My favorite Sonic game is Colors. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it's definitely the best of the post-2010 3D Sonic games. Plus, it's the first Sonic game I played on my own, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

Guess I'll go ahead and pick up Dragon Ball FighterZ Ultimate Edition on Switch while it's still on sale for $44.

And I'll be playing it with the controller I use for fighting games

Going to feel weird playing the game having the ABXY buttons flipped.

I have an adapter that allows me to use non-Switch controllers on the Switch.

So technically yes.

[Arcanir]

Just got to chapter 17.

Spoiler: Three Houses

As someone who hasn't played BL yet, this chapter really highlights how much Dimitri has changed. His almost complete dismissal of his friends' deaths, refusal to ally with the Alliance, and his hyper aggressive actions fully give the impression that he cares about nothing other then to get revenge. It's pretty sad to see, particularly with his death at the end where he charges right into the spears of the imperial soldiers. It nearly makes me want to play the BL route next since I want to see what led to this fall and what Byleth can do to save him.

As for the rest of the chapter, as with Ashe and Ferninand it was sad to see some of the students fall, but I can't help but feel that recruiting some of the students removed a bit of the punch. As much as I would've been sad to have killed Bernie, Ingrid, and Petra, having them missing meant that I couldn't see the full narrative extent of the bloodbath of the battle and how it affected the leaders. It does make a part of me wonder what my reaction would've been to see what happened if they were there, though in the end I'm still happy I got them and at least in Ingrid's case it leads to a follow up conversation at the monastery to expand on things in a different way.

I just realized something. Metal Gear Rising was the furthest into the future the series went. It was set in 2018. All of the Metal Gear series is now set in the past.

I preordered the Detective Pikachu graphic novel on Amazon but they've change the release date from tomorrow to October but every other site still says tomorrow.

Might need to cancel my order and check my local store tomorrow.

Amazon is notorious for getting my orders wrong or delaying my packages. Usually, if I'm ordering something from Amazon because it's cheaper, I'll try buying the same thing at a store near me and return my Amazon shipment to the store for a refund. I get my item on day one and I still pay the same price.

I beat the Golden Deer route.
This game was amazing ngl. Got me up in my feelings.

I like Sonic CD Japanese soundtrack, the pixel art, the animated cutscene & Sonic Boom.

This is all I say on this subject.

I know what you mean.

Last month I ordered an external hard drive and got a digital TV antenna instead (I got the hard drive now)

If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I'm going to take a break from Amazon.

Kalos has the largest Pokedex out of every Pokemon game to date, having 457/721 Pokemon. Despite this, many people consider it to be one of the weakest entries in the series, if not the worst.

There are plenty of factors that make a good Pokemon game aside from the number of Pokemon present, many of which haven't even been brought up yet for SwSh. If you're someone who's willing to label SwSh as the worst game in the series this early, then you're either someone who wasn't that interested in it to begin with, or someone who's actively hoping it fails and disappoints everyone.

I liked Kalos. I feel like the Alolan region was the worst to me. They took a chance with the whole island hopping, no Pokemon League, extradimensional rift, thing but due to their adherence to the story always being by the numbers they didn't land any of that stuff. Shame too. Game could've been a darker nore mature take on a Pokemon story.

The universe really doesn’t want me to be happy. It gives me hope, leaves me hanging, then takes it away just like that. My life is the Hope Spot trope in action.

Last week I got an interview invite email with the guy asking what dates and times THIS week would work best. I sent him a reply. No response throughout the whole week, even tried calling his phone and he did not respond. It’s already reckoning week and I STILL cannot get hold of him.

I also got in touch with some ppl that said they would help me find a job. After I filled out the forms, they said they would email me THE NEXT MORNING with some jobs for me to look through. I gave them my correct email address even. It’s been a WEEK and still no email.

I’m never gonna work again. Even a JOB PLACEMENT AGENCY thinks I am worthless. I might as well accept that I’m gonna live under a ****ing bridge, homeless, when my parents and aunt die. All my half siblings are too busy to take me in.

I’ll never be happy. I’ll never prosper. I’ll never get to live the life of my dreams...or even just a good life.

I can’t take this anymore...

I think most people thought Kalos was too traditional. Beat the eight gyms, beat the evil team, beat the champion, and then you win. Captain Trials are generally disliked, but I think people appreciate the effort made to make the game feel unique.

Also didn't help that XY was ridiculously easy and held your hand for most of the game. Team Flare didn't do the game any favors either.

Job ghosting is unfortunately common. Worst thing you can do is give up, though... because then all potential to reach your goals is lost.

Try other temp job agencies. You mind find something to buff your resume.

Life is full of sad times, but it’s also full of happy times. You just have to learn to pick yourself back up and try again whenever life gets ya down. Find something that makes you happy, and don’t give up. Life will get better, I promise.
