The Sonic Utopia dev posted a giant wall of text on Twitter about momentum and pinball physics in Sonic.

With all due respect to them, They lost me when they straight up said “the Boost games function less”

yeah nah lol

Boost games are soulless and incomplete sadly

Boost bad

Genesis good

 

[TMNTSSB4]

needs a Quadruple A DC game

 

[MooMew64]

Oh yeah

Apparently, people who have played the Frontiers demo are loving it.

Make of that what you will.

It's ****ing hilarious how nobody in my Latin american anime group is calling Gohan's new form by it's actual name, they are just calling it Gohan Blanco.

I love spanish Dragon ball memes.

Well Tomorrow is X-Box's showcase. Boy I wonder if they'll talk about union busting or not.

I do remember there was talks about how X-Box/Microsoft was TOO hands off on the companies they bought out with regards to Bethesda, and that MS was worried about screwing things up. But I feel like it'd be better in the longrun for the employees if they stepped in and kept them safer be it crunch, sexual assault or what have you.

Outside of major stuff, as far as games go, gonna have some Hopium and root for Killer Instinct. Banjo Rumors are out and about this year instead, so IF that's true that could be cool too.

 

[TheCJBrine]

I hope the Banjo-Kazooie rumor is true, even if it’s not a game; supposedly a dude heard some stuff so it’s not just the silly Phil Spencer achievement theories. Of course it probably won’t be true, but oh well.

My only other hope is that the Minecraft RTS game gets revealed.

Remember how some people in this site were begging Microsoft to buy every company they have a trouble with as if it'll magically fix all of their administorial problems?

If the game turns out to be dope, and Sega just did a terrible job martketing it…

It would be really funny

 

[HyperSomari64]

Should SEGA can revive Cranky Food Friends?

I mean... people went from being uninterested to begging to see more of it in the span of a few days.

Maybe that was their plan all along /s

Saw Sonic 2 for the 2nd time.

Can't wait for Sonic 3, it's gonna be good.

Man, **** cancer

No ****ing way man

This is way too sudden for me. I don't think I can properly convey how I feel about this. Rest in peace, Ferdinand von Aegir.

can’t believe I’m just finding out London Tipton and Anne Boonchuy are played by the same woman (Brenda Song)

Not a fan of that myself. Buyouts in general that is.

I mean he is a pretty good replacement but took some getting used to but so far the story itself is pretty meh but I have heard once the turtle story is over it gets good

Granted the Spirit Tortoise arc was always the weakest anyway, but they did a lot of characters dirty by cutting out about half a LN in content from reviews I've read. Pacing was a major problem of the first season and seems to only been worsed with the halved episode count this season. I could rant for a hour on changes I significantly disagree with.

I'd imagine the next season might fair better as the next few LN are more episodic and SoL in nature. The pacing issue is ironic as they are not even halfway through the current LN count.

My favorite piece of Amphibia voice trivia is that King Andrias is played by Keith David (Dr.Facilier), and Dr.Jan is played by Anika Noni Rose (Princess Tiana).

Persona's reputation as a series where teenagers beat up gods is funny because final boss fights where you don't beat up a god are much more effective imo.

So I ended up watching Violet Evergarden the Movie this morning. It was brilliant as expected from KyoAni, the art direction, seeing more of the cast, the music but the plot stretched a bit much IMO and while I liked it the start gave rise to a plot I would have loved more of.

I came into it blind so I thought the granddaughter of the girl who had letters given to her from her mother after she died was going in a different direction.
Seeing Daisy going on a bit of an adventure by discovering Violet's life to help express her own feelings was how I thought it was gonna go.

Another solid 9/10 from me.

Persona's reputation as a series where teenagers beat up gods is funny because final boss fights where you don't beat up a god are much more effective imo.

I prefer 1 to 1 bat**** craziness. Or where you beat up monstrous being with your party then main character goes 1 to 1 in the end like FFVII in a way.

Still can you imagine any of the characters 10 years later just casually saying "oh yeah I beat up a god once." at work.

watercooler break

Co-worker 1: "So my son right, he's finally gotten into that school. I was never able to you know?"
Co-worker 2 "I managed to get into that school years back. That, clubs, talking to some fella overseas the best years for me. How about you?"

Persona character: "Yeah that time was a bit similar. School, clubs, part time work and when I was being a thief inside peoples heads to change their hearts, and when I used Satan to kill a god of control.."

Co-worker 1: "............"
Co-worker 2 "What the ****?"
Co-worker 1: clears throat "So my son right.........."

The more I read about The Backrooms lore, the more crazy it seems to get.

There's at least two separate canons that largely have different entities, areas and concepts beyond the original idea. It's basically a more disorganized SCP Foundation, and that's not even taking Kane Pixels' adaptation into consideration.

I am intrigued by these Backrooms.

What are they?

Zapdos has always been pretty good, and for awhile, Moltres ACTUALLY was in OU in Gen8. Heavy Duty Boots saved its ass hard.



Articuno's the sore thumb of the trio.

Zapdos is one of the most consistent Pokemon ever. It was OU in Gen 1, stayed there for 4 generations before taking a brief visit to UU in Gen 5, then went back to OU and has stayed there ever since*. Even it's Galarian form is OU.
(*It ****ing sucks in BDSP but that doesn't really count)

This game sounds dope

Why aren’t they showing the stuff about it that makes it sound dope lol

Why just the field

That is what I am wondering. With such positive impressions, Sega should be confident in their product.

Leaked gameplay footage showed a speedometer with a number next to it so I wonder if there's gears to handle Sonic's speed, boost games took a lot from racing games already so I wouldn't be surprised if the overworld had different speeds to maintain control or to give a rush of constantly going fast

I'd actually love for them to take more cues from racing games. In a weird way, it'd make it feel like a more polished version of Sonic R, which I'd love as I always thought that game's playstyle had potential in a 3D Sonic if executed just a bit better and with a little refinement.
