Started collecting the Jakks Pacific Sonic figures, starting with Sonic and Knuckles

Gonna have to start selling some of my older stuff soon, been meaning to forever but just didn't get around to it
Gonna try real hard not to think about getting all of them ASAP like I did with the One Piece figures. FOMO purchases are ones I tend to regret (even though I'm very happy with my One Piece collection and still plan on growing it further)

Goodnight

2500 pages you guys. That’s a lotta ****posts.

Wonder how long this thread’s gonna last before they make a new one. It’s already two and a half years old.
The last Social Thread lasted 4,525 pages so I assume we’ll make a new one around then.

As for how long that will take, well… here’s one more post contributing to the count.

So, how is everyone today?
I've been busy re-decorating my room all day.

Other than that, had a really chaotic few weeks after my boiler in my house wasn't working and thankfully had it fixed right before Christmas.

Yeah the CEO straight up blames the failure of the SSU on critics and people unnecessarily hating on it. He fails to believe that his company produced several ultra low quality ****e tier films which fans totally rejected.
Exactly. It feels like this CEO is way out of touch.

I've watched Kraven the Hunter a few weeks ago in which after watching the film, I can pretty much understand why it wasn't very well recieved.

I mean I got jumpscared in my Switch E-Shop search because in the middle of it was (I'm dead serious mods) "Hentai Game Collection". And at first I was shocked cause how is that even allowed, but then I looked at the price and I was like

Welcome to Steam. Where the only competition in the adult visual novel market is Nintendo eshop.

I'm old enough to remember when Steam had the faintest of quality control on its platform and the worst game you could get was Bad Rats....

Steam Greenlight is no more, and this is the consequence.

On top of various games with blatantly stolen assets like a GTA clone with the map directly copypasted from San Andreas, and fake pages for popular games that people fall for.

What, to you, makes a good character design?
Really depends on what you're designing a character for.

I'm typically not that picky. Art style might also be part of it. I mean for corn's sake, I consider Gabby Disventure Camp to be one of the cutest fictional characters ever, and (in addition to her voice and personality) her looks are part of that - though that's influenced by how much I just love the Total Drama art style.

Like, I know when it comes to cuteness we're typically about Kirby and Toothless here, but look at her:

Then again I think I'm just easy to please.

If you want to die instantly, scroll through both the Steam and Nintendo shops and take a shot every time you see AI Slop
I’m happy the Switch 2 will mostly be continuing where the Switch left off, but this is one of the things that needs to change.

They gotta crackdown on the eshop hard.

They need to bring back the Nintendo Seal of Quality
You mean the one that's just an indicator that the game won't make your system explode?

Then again I wouldn't be surprised if these games with AI slop logos are poorly programmed enough to make that happen.

Come to think of it, it's funny I say this cuz Gabby would DEFINITELY have a big weakness for Kirby.

That small pink orb would be a key to her soul. Like she's already the type to own a hundred Squishmallows, she definitely owns a few Kirbo plushies.

Listen ONC, all I'm saying is that I would pay huge amounts of money for DC plushies.

What, to you, makes a good character design?
Hatsune Miku

and I like a lot of cool/cute characters in general so I’m not completely sure about specifics.

In general, I guess they just need to be cute, cool, or both, and memorable, with a good personality of some sort. They can also be funny in someway whether in their design or through their personality, whether good or evil. I don’t mind blank slates you can interpret yourself though (I really like Steve and Miku is sort of like that too since her company lets people interpret her however they want, though there’s more official material one can work with for her if they want while Steve has little tbh).

A whole bunch of examples:
-Miku again

-other voice synth characters (like Kagamine Rin & Len or Kasane Teto)

-Minecraft (I like blocky, low poly, and pixel styles, and Steve is my 2nd favorite character after Miku. Of course, Minecraft is also my favorite game :p)

-Beeg hats (Marisa Kirisame with her witch hat and outfit (she can also shoot beeg laser), or Minecraft Rana with her frog hat)

-Most Mario and related characters

-Kirby and maybe just about all Kirby characters in general

-Pikmin and their captains + enemies like bulborbs

-Banjo-Kazooie

-EarthBound / Mother characters

-Undertale and Deltarune

-Digital Circus

-Very many Pokémon (Pikachu, Celebi, and Gengar are my top 3) + trainers

-Konata Izumi from Lucky Star

-Osaka and Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh

-Nichijou: My Ordinary Life’s main characters

-A lot of Touhou characters (such as Reimu, Marisa, Cirno, Rumia, Koishi, Mima, Yumemi, Chiyuri, and the Scarlet sisters)

-Spooky or spooky-feeling characters (Jack Skellington, Herobrine, Gaster, FNaF’s animatronics and puppet, ghosts like King Boo)

-Cool and cute robots (Miku again (she was originally an android and sometimes still is at least in fanworks), Jenny Wakeman, Chibi-Robo, R2-D2, C-3PO)

-cool big reptilian dudes (Bowser, Godzilla, dinosaurs and dragons)

-Gawr Gura (cute shark girl)

-SpongeBob, Phineas & Ferb, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Doraemon, Hamtaro, Adventure Time Finn & Jake, a bunch of other cartoon/anime characters
