Sonichuman

Akuma looks like he's been in Baki's/Yujiro's Gym for like 5 years. All he needs is the beast in his back and I wouldn't be surprised. https://blog.playstation.com/2024/04/29/akuma-rages-into-street-fighter-6-on-may-22/

TLDR the show is entertaining when Knuckles is actually there and interacting...and nosedives when he isn't

Ep 4 was bizarre and quite almost literally a fever dream. I was probably more focused on the random Iblis lore and this completely went over my head. I'd have to rewatch it cause nothing about it being a Penders reference jumped out at me at first.

If that was a jab at him then it completely flew over my head during that whole absurd ep 4 sequence.

Apparently Playstation is offering refunds for Stellar Blade if you claim false advertising which is even more funny to me.

I haven't played the game so I don't know the full context of what he's talking about but I found it interesting that Shift Up essentially pulled a "Quiet" with the character and used the story to explain why she's dressed the way she is according to what Gene is saying. Someone who has played through the game on here might be able to explain it better.

interesting....

I binged Knuckles a few moments ago aaaaaand I gotta say that I don't feel strongly about the series one way or the other and that's probably the biggest sin it has. The show gave me a few chuckles especially out of the first 2 eps and then....there's a sharp down turn that the show has a hard time recovering from. There are some interesting things here and there lore wise for this universe pertaining to G.U.N., Eggman, and a potential set up for Iblis that frankly came out of no where. But the show is pretty much Wade's quest to be a warrior with misadentures and shenangans feat Knuckles. Saying he's barely in it is going a bit far but....He's definitely not the focus and he's more of a side character. Knuckles does get some growth but it's a backseat to the absolute ridiculous shit surrounding Wade and his family issues. If you go into this expecting a show with the normal family friendly schlock with Knuckles just along for the ride you can get some entertainment out of it but don't expect this to really move anything forward or any hints about any set up for Sonic 3. To be honest it's really kind of hard for me to even recommend this for a once watch....I'll probably never feel a want to watch this series again. Knuckles is really the best thing about this and his interactions with the characters and it sucks that he isn't really the focus because when he isn't there...it really suffers.

The most of the comments in response to this move my heart

Super late VGM Friday

I get trying to maintain integrity...but I am completely unconvinced that the word "hard" in front of 1 R in a stage with no bearing what so ever on the character, setting, or story is doing much for integrity. All that being said I took a look to see if there' s anything else that people could potentially be complaining about censorship wise in a game that pretty much as a costume where she's practically naked. https://boundingintocomics.com/2024/04/26/stellar-blade-director-responds-after-patch-censors-holiday-rabbit-outfit-claims-updated-design-was-always-intended-as-final-version/#:~:text=In a development that suggests,to be its final design. A lacy undershirt and glasses on one of the costumes and less gore/blood on her after an enemy gets killed to go with the "Hard" being replaced with "Crime". The gore and blood has far more chance of affecting the integrity of the game more than anything and if that article is anything to go by they may just do 2 versions of that Honey Rabbit costume. Character has like 30+ costumes in the game but the one the one costume that's already showing less skin than the Hard mode skin gets an undershirt and glasses and its the hill that people need to die on. I hope they give both versions of that costume just see if they're gonna keep yelling about censorship.

....Is this dude serious? And to be clear I'm talking about Grummz not Omni, Omni is clearly being sarcastic. That graffiti was the only thing censoref about the game and while I didn't find it offensive I also don't care that its gone. This really has no impact on the game whether its there or not lol.

Its what Darc is saying on top of Keef literally just saying that the people who don't want DEI or like Sweet Baby need to try make sure the message they are trying to say stays clean because there are some people trying to clearly hide behind it with clear racist agendas. Grummz and some others in the comments immediately went with "HE'S CALLING ALL OF US RACISTS!!!" while providing an exact screenshot where he did in fact not say that.

I like the original sound of Rogueport better...best I can describe why is that it sounds Punchier? Switch version is has more instruments in it it but it's softer. It's still not bad but Original sticks out way more especially in terms of percussion.

Yyyyeah....I'm not going to pay any attention to anything Velma is doing because it really kind of seems they're just changing stuff and trying to be different for the sake of being different and catering to nobody in the process. I'm hoping that people have learned there lesson and decided not to hate watch the 2nd season cause I'm definitely not going to. I already got spoiled on what happens to Velma in my Twitter feed and I just....could not care less. I'm just going to focus my energies on things like Fallout.

It's really hard to tell if they did anything but they did update at least some of the textures...it's more apparently when they do a closeup of the tree. Edit: also really curious if Nintendo doing an overhaul of Paper Mario's Graphics made them shoot for 30...I mean the game isn't doing any tight platforming or anything but its weird going from 60 fps GC game to Switch remakester 30fps game.
