Didn't know you were a security guard.

Though I suppose being a ride operator and chaining kids to rides that lead to doom isn't too far away from that.

I mean, tbf, a decent portain of my job is making sure nobody’s entering the ride that I didn’t specifically let in, so in a way my job is kinda like being a security guard.


and also, that AC part is seriously accurate lol

It's a good thing I'm a part of the heist rather than a part of Sakurai's building.

If I was to reflect my actual job

I would be putting stickers on stuff and nothing else

Then we'd be Sticker Star and heeeeeeck no to that

Retail or Warehousing?

Either way I had to do that. It sucked.

"Good Evening. I am Mr. Donaghadonaghadonaghadee and I would like to tell you about Horse cover."

Mix a town name of Ireland and an object and you have a name of a horse.

That's enough cans of Red Bull for me tonight.

Anyone ever think about the fact that in Japan, based on what I’ve seen posted around, DoomSlayer would be a very low key and disappointing pick?

Sure, but that didn’t stop someone like Hero, who being as huge as they are in Japan, is damn niche elsewhere.

I know. I was only pointing it out because of the common belief that the last character is going to be a small/niche pick. I just kind of realized that what's niche in one region is big in another and kind of realized "what if they put this guy last because he's not big in Japan, where the developers are from, so they, by translation, just do not see him as being a big draw". I know it sounds very tinfoil hatty, but I just thought about it.

Though honestly I still have hope the last character is Crash.

But it could just as easily be Ryu Hayabusa or the Mario Rabbids or a Pokemon or Euden etc.

I have something to say.

To the whole world.

It is controversial

In fact, it may be considered unthinkable to some.

Now is your chance to turn back.

You ready?

I give Sonic Unleashed flack because of the Werehog and parts of the fanbase that are obnoxious about the game.

But I legit still love it.

'Cause it's Sonic.

And Endless Possibilities makes me feel things and is actually a huge inspiration to me for the content I put out myself.

I wish we could all get along better. Colors fans and Unleashed fans. We have such radical ideas of what Sonic should be because both games are dual opposites of the other, but...IDK, I feel like that's a good thing. I think it's cool Sonic is ever changing, always trying new things and giving people a fun place to relax and have family-friendly fun with a neat blue hedgehog who runs fast.

From: Someone who's saddened about the current state of Sonic discourse and wants to use his channel as something to help break the cycle of endless negativity and bickering.

Bro, don’t worry about it.

In a year all the discourse will be focused on how much Sonic 2022 sucks.

Even if it’s good :101:

Idk how to feel about Sonic nowadays.

Imo, he hasn't had a good game in over a decade and this franchise is so mishandled and dog**** because Sega doesn't know how to treat him, but I still will check out the games because I simply can't get enough of the Blue Hedgehog and Friends.


It's just hard to stay optimistic because of all the times Sega (and Yuji Naka occasionally, and Penders that one time) ****ed over the franchise.

Yeah jokes aside I really do hope it’s good.

I haven’t played a new 3D Sonic in years, they haven’t seemed really worth my time or money.

But I really do love this series, man.

If you ever wanted to, I personally will vouch that Lost World is not nearly as terrible as some say it is.

Forces isn't worth your time unless you're like me and willing to mod the heck out of it on PC, and even then, it's still probably not worth your time. I only get enjoyment out of it because I like Sonic that much that even a mediocre one can still entertain me.

Unfortunately, I imagine Mania was a desperate play on Sega's part to appeal to the fan community crowd and will more than likely be a one-time thing because of that.

I imagine they knew full well what they were doing with that game. A pity it isn't something that will become common place, as it should.

You know, I actually used to be a Meta Knight main, so that sword is incredibly fitting! I love this, as always, haha. I don't know why that "Dude! Nice!" is so funny to me.

It really should be more common place for companies to use fan stuff but unnecessary red tape, whiny shareholders, backwards thinking and all prevents it.

It's ****ing pathetic if you ask me.

I'm not in the legal know, so I personally won't speak to it extensively, but yeah, there's a bit of an outdated mentality when it comes to fan projects these days.

The internet and progression of technology making it easier than ever to learn how to make video games, and the possibilities of being a one person team thanks to advanced technology and programming QoL improvements make people want to be creative for the things they enjoy. I wish there wasn't as much red tape involved, but alas, it's a complicated topic and has valid points of view on both sides.

At the very least, the current Sonic community manager's "totally not a response but actually totally a response to Sonic Omens' Patreon blundering" gives me hope things are slowly changing. Even Square Enix is embracing the concept of fan passion nowadays, so there is some hope.
