What's brilliant about it

Every other country is making advancements into space. Satellites have become vital in today's society. Generally speaking, yes, it's good to have a presence up there.

And no, it's not sending soldiers into space like some think it is.

when are we getting tanks up there

like literal ground tanks but white and in space

I've been looking forward to the future where they land astronauts back on the moon again in my lifetime. As extreme and crudely executed as it might've been, his attempts to push us closer to it happening, are... admirable, from a conceptual standpoint.

@Thigolfin addition to what Stricker brought up, we’re very likely to see further militarization of space, treaties be damned. At least five countries have Anti-Satellite Weapons that, in the event of war, will be one of the most sought after targets in a conflict, and as a result of that will require heavy investment in defending them.

You’ve heard of Carrier Battle Groups that the US has? Well imagine Satellite Battle Groups in the near future where you have one satellite meant to protect the main satellites from enemy attacks and another meant to direct swarm attacks on the enemy. If you think this is too far-fetched now, understand that people said the same thing about drones before they became what they are today.

And that’s before we start talking about building military bases on the moon, which you can bet you will see in your lifetime barring tragedy doesn’t throw a monkey wrench into that prospect.

The future is wild.

kinda depressing that we'll likely have military bases on the moon before we have purely scientific ones like the ones in antarctica

Considering there’s resources on the moon that can be mined without causing any major environmental damages and risk like here on Earth, it has its ups and downs.

Hell, we’re already in the age of AI. That’s just going help accelerate things faster than ever predicted.

The best April Fool is a real Fool.

Edit:   LIKE SO

He probably knows Sega can't do Classic Sonic stuff for shit without him lol

Well, it's not like he called Sonic Team rude names online.

It's sort of sad how even a calm critique against a company could be seen as a death sentence in terms of cooperation in today's society.

@Strickerx5Corporate can reflect, they can only deflect.

A bit vague, lol.

Sounds like a set-up for April Fool's tomorrow

This is definitely an April Fools setup.

Bro even if this is a joke… what does this even mean anymore? Every game for the last decade has had a new direction lol

New 2D Sonic starting on the right and going left.

@Rabid-Cootbbeat me to it.

Frig, I didn't even think of April Fools until y'all mentioned it. Guess better to remember now that be disappointed later.

Maybe it's about the rumoured new advance/rush inspired 2D game  

I dunno. Going in a new direction even though the new direction they've already gone in now has been relatively successful seems in ST's nature.

What if it's something ShTH level wild, like the speculated Battle Royale?

@PC the HedgehogOdd. I kind of thought the same thing before it was mentioned.

Anyway, here is the fools...

Damn. At least he lived a long life. Been seeing way too many people die young.

What does that mean?

Trump has been formally charged with a crime, meaning he will be extradited from Florida and taken into custody in New York next week. What happens beyond that is uncertain for now.

It's about time.

Hopefully they'll have better security for everything than Jan 6.

I am not a merciful sonic, i make my enemies suffer

crack that egg and make an omelette

you should be able to do that at the end of every boss and if you manage to do it every time it should unlock a secret, extremely unforgiving final boss

I do.

It would be funny if there were conspiracy theories saying which end is the true one. As in "The true ending is when you not hit him, so he can escape for Sonic 2, if you jump on him, he will fall and explode with Scrap Brain".

But the real question is:

Who actually kills himself trying to jump after the final boss by falling into the void?

It really depends of the playtrough, sometimes I spare him, sometimes I don't

Most of the times I do destroy it tho.

I kick his stupid ugly face in

I choose violence

For years and years, I didn't even know you could hit him, so I always just ran to the end watched him escape.

Once I learned you could, I still didn't usually do it, since the "let him go" ending just always felt ingrained into me by that point.

Just hit him. He's gonna come back in the next game anyway.

Because even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Brother Dearest Energy

I'm not lying btw 

I do not like chris pratt as a person

But this statement is slightly redeeming

Because he does?

The internet literally measured his dick a few years ago and it was sizable so yeah, he's spitting facts for once

E3 found dead at 4:29 pm.

how the turntables 

I think Tails was handled very respectfully in Sonic 2. He had some good emotional scenes, and played a pivotal role in stopping the Death Egg Robot.

How are you gonna fly? Twin tails?

I disliked Cera was Scott, ALTHOUGHT, he actually did a good voice over for that animated short, so I'm actually fine with this. Anamana doing the soundtrack is an absolute win.

i hope they animate Black Sheep

Eh... Since 2021, April 1st will forever be marked as the day of my dad passing, so I doubt I'd ever feel comfortable in "celebrating" it again.

But nonetheless, it was always my least favorite "festive".

I mean, of course there are some exceptions, which I won't deny give me some good laughs, for example enterprises dedicating their entire team to produce an ad/poster for something completely absurd which everyone manages to associate with the date at a first sight.

But I agree, I feel it's a "celebration" which does more harm than good these days.

Moreso just disappointed in all the “pranks” that pretend to be something serious.

Your question implies that you think they won't make Pac-Man an anime girl

As for the real answer - they mentioned that the game will have collabs with other, non-SEGA franchises as well

Bubsy anime girl or riot

Yes a lot of the sonic youtubers SoA works with at the moment are problematic

I'd like for you to elaborate on that.

Dunno if Emi has had updates since the Ryan Drummond thing, but Villecco has had allegations brought against them.

Yeah I know about those situations, I just want clarification who else is "problematic" according to Forge here.

sonic retro is controlling the franchise

If Retro were in control at any point we would not have gotten Forces and Frontiers, but to suggest their agenda had any influence as far back as Sonic 4 is fucking laughable. Retro are among the MOST focused and anal about physics and momentum in Sonic games out of almost any community, to the point that it's honestly a really bizarre extreme sometimes, and I'm expected to believe the reason we don't have momentum of any kind anymore is because they're secretly in control? lmfao fuck right off

Exactly it is alex jones flat earth tier insanity. Retro is known for being extremely peculiar with what they want sonic to be.

I was reffering to emi (and her clique) and Kevin for being problematic. I don't think they deserve platforms and I am hoping sonic sites and sega collectively blacklist those 2 individuals going forward.

That's not "a lot of sonic youtubers SoA works with currently are problematic". That's just 2 people, one of which isn't even a tuber and the other one they only worked with once some time ago on a board game advertisement. Hence my need for clarification

Retro has not been fixated on classic Sonic in a while. 

Oh, I thought me. 

If only.
