I have actually been writing down pilot bio drafts for a post-Climax thing for a while now it's fun. Enjoy(?) a few of the not at all subtle 4th wall pokes I've made, are these good lol

I'm genuinely quite proud of this one, I feel smart for incorporating both the original and dub names. I'm not kidding about learning Godot! But uh. Just know I procrastinate creative hobbies a LOT.

The fun part at least is you can call the projects not fanmade because Claude can't be a fan. You didn't want to do something, cool, I don't have to acknowledge you. Fuck you. I will now learn Godot out of fucking spite.

Hey so with Switch 2 being cracked open can we get the Age of Imprisonment models for people to do Things™ with Even just people acknowledging those characters at all Please

Why does clicking on the share post button remove scrolling and sometimes shoot you down a page, I fucking hate people that don't know what the fuck they're doing IT WORKED FINE FOR MONTHS DONT CHANGE IT

Honestly I think that the covers of IDW Sonic #50 might have some of the single best pieces of Sonic art ever, that perfectly get across Surge's whole deal, simply by the covers being framed from her perspective.

These covers on their OWN tell a whole story, and it's such a testament to how well done Impostor Syndrome was done. It's such a shame that the only reason #50 gets talked about now, over 4 years later, is STILL discourse about completely missing the god damn point.

It's kinda crazy to me that I see people writing off the GBA F-Zeroes for being anime tie ins, but you never see people doing the same for Kirby Air Ride

F-Zero Climax is not that. It is one of the best looking games on the system, that pushes the speed so much that you can start to break the Mode 7, with a ton of unique, great mechanics that I desperately wish were in 99.

The one problem with F-Zero Climax is that they don't use the cleaned up prerendered sprites of the machines from GP Legend for some reason, and also cut all their animation frames for universal turning sprites. BUT the game still looks better than GPL so (shrug) And it definitely plays better too

Like yeah a lot of tie in games are kinda half hearted, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land is a remake with great spritework! ...on Kirby and then everything else visually about the game's levels sucks.

God I just realized that when McLaren Sonic drops, since Virtua Racing wasn't really represented with anything in the Sega Racing jukebox update, they could totally be adding Replay from Virtua Racing Deluxe or Sega Ages Virtua Racing alongside him.

I always forget that Sonic Rumble doesn't really change the body proportions of the kid characters but ends up giving them a slightly fucky head shape to make them look different

Anyways this is my PSA to state: please don't *just* port Marine and Kit's Rumble models to something like CrossWorlds you still have to mess with things

Clutching this post close to my chest with hope in my heart that Capcom's not entirely washed (Capcom's almost entirely washed)

NAH WAIT I GET WHY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT KIT IN SONIC RUMBLE BUT DUDE WE'RE GETTING HIGH POLY WARLOCK INFINITE, PLEASE LET PEOPLE USE THIS FOR MODS

Warlock Infinite is like the only Sonic Dash skin that I think makes sense for the character outside the context of cool Halloween costume, I genuinely wouldn't mind if he kinda just had this going forward. I mean hey, if Starline's handing out cool cloaks...

It's kinda funny that I really don't like the removal of the swoosh of hair for Tails' silhouette, especially since my favourite Tails model is the Saturn Tails model which is likely why these changes were made. You just cannot possibly hate this little guy.

The Banana Rumble (Right) model for Tails might just be a new favourite though, personally. A real toothpick changes everything model from the Generations/Banana Mania Classic Tails model (Left).

Also also I think Tails losing the swoosh of hair at the back of his head sometime around Sonic the Fighters/Sonic R, likely for optimizing early 3D models, might be my single least favourite Sonic design change, and it's so minor.

Looking at them side by side Rumble does still tweak the proportions quite a bit but like. Man he still looks real off. It's the eyes I think.

Fortunately I care about people other than myself and don't give a rats ass about gaining clout from prompting something so instead I just flip a fucking coin on if I get mad at a retro game project because it's the only way AI dorks can get anything decent because they can't make a good skeleton

Bluesky is the cuckcoded thing I use the most and even then it's just barely passing the bar of being "like Twitter but not as awful as when it became X The Everything App: Blaze Your Glory" cause they shit themselves once every 2 weeks It doesn't make me a believer in the tech, that's for sure
