AAUK

Everyone's going to that new building from what I gather, which'll make things much easier for the staff going forward as they'll all be in the same place as opposed to being scattered freaking everywhere. I asked Jun about the move when I saw him earlier this month, he'd been waiting for the studio kit to be installed there and was finishing off his last work at the old SEGA Sound Studio.

Appreciated @VEDJ-F, and no I'm not Japanese to confirm. But I've given it up at this point. No one in the general community remembers what I did anymore beyond vague snippets of info as I am...well...extremely forgettable. Which is fine. It was a while back now. I've only watched small bits of the Mania stuff as I'm not really into it, my main delight has been that it's helped elevate fans into proper positions of importance. (Thus proving me right in the end, thanks SOA/E. 😋) Giving people like Tyson and Kieran and Christian the proper praise, respect and opportunity they deserve. I have seen the poster made its way in to #4 though, which made me smile. Sonic Wrecks always used, for the most parts, the sprites designed by Rittz. Rittz... was Tyson Hesse. So a decade ago I was putting something of his in a creative Sonic work of mine. Now he's put something of mine in a creative work of his. He wont know that at all as he hasn't a clue who I am. (Svend introduced us at SOS 2016 and it was pretty much a mutual case of looking at each other blankly and wondering who the other was.) But it has beautifully brought to a close a circle of creativity. Enjoy the rest of Sonic's birthday.

Balls.

*shrugs* Dunno.

Nothing I said, you know, years ago, is future proof. However one thing will always hold true: Sonic Team can change their minds. An oft skipped over fact I mentioned right in the beginning when I made the mistake of answering canon questions on the SEGA forum way back when. Canon is whatever Sonic Team want at any given moment. It is play-doh, farted out through whatever game shaped hole that is designed. Canon is utterly worthless at this point, with the characters having any kind of overarching development in Sonic games being a storytelling trait long dead. So it is kind of pointless even caring about it. Also if Generations is canon thanks to Forces 1) that's stupid and 2) that's really f***ing stupid. Which probably means it is.

Had they put in 1/10 of what I suggested you'd've lost your minds.
