@Pundem0nium@JennyENicholson For some reason the fans are fixated on the ages, so as a fan of the games occasionally I come across some weird rants about the ethics of sonic characters
@joshuakelly I'm not sure I understand this. With ChatGPT how can I vet that answer or make sure the source is accurate? On Google I see the website providing the info, and can see the content in context
@DefyingFate So I don't even have accounts on these sites, I just lurk while looking for the mods I'm interested in all. But at this point I can't find anything on what this drama or banning was about. It seems silly to want to ethically vet my mods but I'm super curious about what happened
@JennyENicholson Hey I think I've had that one. I normally only do Starbucks if I have people that wanna meet there or whatever. The London fog thing is alright
@PerfectionistXY@PointCrow Yeah a lot of people are like that. I'm salty about the song's inclusion, but that's just because I think it's bad taste to include an expensive pop-star tie in song in a game that desperately needed more dev time.
@carefreejules15 Oh man I'm gonna keep an eye on your store from here on out! There's a lot of new Pokémon and all I'd love to have stickers/Keychain etc of and I'd rather support an artist than official merch rn
@JennyENicholson Would you have bowling pins with stuff like sonic or tweet bird on them? Would you have your own "Strike" animations for the screen in dated CG graphics? Will the carpet be 90s accurate? We gotta know the specs of your bowling alley
@wewillbecrazy @fowltown@First4Figures And the director laughed because the character is a funny blue hedgehog. He is not above looney tunes style hijinks. Just because silly blue cartoon animal getting slapped around is funny to you doesn't mean you hate the cartoon character lol.
@wewillbecrazy @fowltown@First4Figures I'm not sure why Knuckles needed comeuppance? Is this a morality play or something? In the source material, Knuckles never required severe punishment for when he butt heads with Sonic. The whole point is that Knuckles did what he believed was right, but was naive, and learned
@ghostxtype It sucks to have to change the framing because someone can't empathize, but framing it as a rally against corporations screwing artists on a broader scale is less likely to upset the random users that just wanna generate memes for fun, if that makes sense.
@ghostxtype I don't disagree at all, but unfortunately a lot of people are gonna take that as selfish or greedy on the artist's part (as stupid as that is). I find people are more receptive if you mention that corps will replace graphic artists on book covers, posters, etc
@Hingeneral@nybearrr@Ana_Imajinary@ghostxtype People tend to need clothing, it's kind of a requirement for participating in society. I can't begrudge a poor person buying whatever clothes they can afford.
Art isn't a requirement, people can easily go without
@meepgofish I don't expect frontiers to get nominated because it's the kind of things awards snub.
But it's absolutely a more memorable OST than GOW or Elden Ring, imo. Haven't played the other two so can't speak on e.
@CrystalTikal@bakusatsuou_24@Loopersum Listen, you vibe how you want, but Forces canon isn't even internally consistent. The prequel comics and episode shadow show that Infinite was a Jackal mercenary, but in game dialogue outside of episode shadow seems convinced infinite is a robot created by Eggman
@SeggoAhmet@TigheSammy @DanKnowsNothing It's just cause sometimes even if you're playing well, there's nothing you can do to stop the ball from dropping off the board, and when that happens you lose your multiplier and it takes much longer to rack up points
