Not seen it, but oh dear.

What happened?

It's depraved 

I scrolled through his content from the past few days and I see a tweet where he laughs about losing 1000 followers over one tweet

...And I cannot for the life of me tell which one it could be

It was this. People got weirded out, rightfully so Imo 

....oh that's what they meant when they said that was a Charlie Chaplin reference somewhat.

but yeah wtf was that tweet.

"Funky Uncle"

Every time he utters this phrase my mind defaults to a perpetual Andy Samberg mood

The tiny shred of benefit of the doubt I could give is that teenager COULD refer to an 18 or 19 year-old, and the fact that Japan has a lower age of consent.

But even with that considered, the maturity disparity between a 40+ year-old and a young adult still makes it super gross. Hopefully he was just horsing around and didn't realise what a massive faux pas such a joke is in western society.

And if not then not then oh well , throw him in dumb Sonic music contributor jail with Jacques and Hunnid-P lol.

Ew, that means you played Sonic games. *shudder*

Basically, the Nintendo approach gone horribly wrong.

That's why I just roll my eyes everytime they try to reassure us that "they're not rushing the games development anymore, quality over quantity".

Bollocks. We have neither quality nor quantity. Might as well bring back the production method from the early to mid 2000s at this point, at least back then being a Sonic fan wasn't depressingly boring cause nothing exciting is ever going on between the 5 years between each game.

It wouldn't be so bad if they at least filled the time between each game with re-releases that we've asked for a million times(Colors is 10 years old this year, are you going to give us a 10th anniversary HD remaster? No? OK then) or make a smaller spinoff here and there that is not just another kart racing game.

For me that's the worst part: Being a Sonic fan right now means we play a mediocre to terrible game and talk about how disappointing it is for like 3 months tops, and then it's back to spending 5 years waiting with nothing to tide us over whatsoever aside from another Sumo kart racing game.

In short: Being a Sonic fan right now is the most boring thing in the world.

You’re forgetting the comics. 

@\Miragnarok What do the comics have to do with game development.

EDIT: Ignore this comment, didn't realize that was a reply towards pppp.

I think about how there are 5 playable characters in crash 4 often. 

AND they're all really well done, have the exact right amount of focus, all feel similar enough to Crash but different  enough to offer totally unique but still fun gameplay experiences AND this was their first serious attempt at something like this like DUDE, LOL

In between Mario Odyssey the new Ratchet games and this it seems the entire platformer genre has teamed up to mock every argument made in this community for the past 10 years 

Oh good, I'm not the only one who's had this thought running in the back of my mind lately lol. A part of me is admittedly happy that games like Crash 4 and the new Ratchet are a thing as they really do put in bold just how far back this series currently is.

If the next game rolls around and isn't a significant step forward from Forces, it's going to be fucking embarrassing for everyone involved.

I love Mania and everything but I've been hungering for a quality 3D Sonic for ages

It frustrates me seeing how much love Crash 4 has for all aspects of the series, and it doesn’t matter how obscure or even if it’s technically non canon. We got villains from Twinsanity and onwards cameoing, we have references everywhere to future games like Twinsanity. We even get fun references to Titans and Mind Over Mutant. Even the Evil Twins, villains who near no one cares about gets a slightly revamped design and cameo.

and meanwhile, Sonic’s lore is so stuck in it’s way with pointless bullshit that we can’t even get cameos of Team Hooligan anymore, because of the Classic/Modern divide, and SEGA locks off random parts of the franchise whenever they deem it, even when they still have the rights to those shows and characters (AoStH, SatAM). The most fan service we can muster is seeing a gimped Classic Sonic for the umpteenth time*. Even half of the modern villains/characters have been just shoved into a corner to be forgotten about, Infinite being the latest addition to the list.

*Not taking Mania into account

Sonic drowned so that the others could swim.

Honestly, this is a really bad thing. He’s going to be fine and the moment he’s cleared of it, he’s just going to downplay the ever living fuck out of it... more so than now at least.

”I had it and it was nothing. The liberals just want to scare you.”

How's that different than now? 

Yeah he does that in excess already so nothing would really change. At least hell get damaged lungs out of it 

The difference now is that he'll have a "direct" reason to do so which some will latch onto when downplaying the crisis. "If our old president can handle it then it most be a hoax."

People will see this as confirmation and take their efforts to the extreme. If there's one thing that has proven true throughout this entire 4 year period, it's that things can and will always get worse.

These people don't need confirmation. They're just convinced it is the way they think, because they're fucking dumb. 

If he recovers, he'll downplay the virus and have all his claims "confirmed."

If he dies, he'll never answer to his crimes, and his supporter base would riot and claim it to be an assassination by the "libtards."

I'm more worried about the ones that did or think that they did. There are a lot of stupid people in this country and the ones that can have their minds pushed in certain directions easily are going to be important come November.

I'd like to believe that his base population is set in stone at this point and that no one would believe anything coming out of it anymore, but nothing this country has done... ever, leads me to believe that's the case.

@Strickerx5  so just like Bolsonaro? 

they're one and the same

so yes

Wow, ok, so much for the tolerant left. I thought you people were all about love an-pffft sorry even sarcastically I can’t with that fucking drivel 

@Marcello Some of us are TRYING to get our relatives to realize the pandemic is more serious than their favorite media outlets make it out to be

They're not totally gone but hell if this'll make it any better

@Strickerx5 So what if he dies?

He won't die, just like how Bolsonaro didn't. The sane people of this country didn't believed he was actually infected. Everything felt extremelly fishy from the start (how he was tested for covid in early march but didn't wanted to reveal the results). But when he finally revealed that he had the virus (this time in July), he immediately began the chloroquine propaganda. Which, BTW, it's against the law here in Brazil (no one in the government is allowed to advertise any kind of drug or treatment, unless it has great scientific evidence). But laws don't apply here ever since Bolsonaro became president... Unless you're against him, then the law works.

@KHCast

Yeah you're right I should feel sympathy for the white supremacist advocate. Piss off lmao 

Guys theywre being MEAN!!!1! I don't care what your powitics awre but wishing cowona on someone is a step two faw four m e!!

Hey my pawty may be the cawse of all this and witeraw deawf but at weast we're nuice 😔

Great I wasn't even following UK's whole deal with this

Brace for impact I guess

@Soniman maybe read that again buddy and realize who you’re talking to before just making rushed assumptions  lol. 

Lol I've been doing that just recently myself. I'm on Kiwami 2.
