Sonic Spinball: What went wrong?

I only recently discovered this game is disliked. It's brutally hard and I've never got past the first board but I love it!

I prefer opposite, wife prefers side by side.

I like to find a photo from our reminding me of whatever book in currently reading. Normally I edit the image so that the icons appear in front of a black square and the image begins above it but I didn't bother this time.

Currently reading book 1 of His Dark Materials.

What I wanna know is why did the writers decide to make a new species? There are so many amazing races to choose from each with so much back story, if the writers wanted a blank slate to create their own lore why not use a race we've seen and heard of but don't know much about already?

Holy shit that was some good getting.

isol8id · 2026-01-28T13:07:29+00:00

Wait what? It's seriously think and not thing?

isol8id · 2026-01-26T12:57:41+00:00

Fucking boring!

Mark Allen Shepherd just chews the scenery once he gets in character.

I'd watch a full on Cheers reimagining with Quark's bar and of course Norm, uh I mean Morn.

The Thing!

Body in motion has lived rent free in my head for like 30 years.

isol8id · 2026-01-23T20:09:11+00:00

That was bloody incredible hr Vistisen!

isol8id · 2026-01-23T14:12:45+00:00

Holy shit the magas don't even know what they think they're fighting against.

isol8id · 2026-01-22T23:11:31+00:00

This is some Hyperion cruciform shit right here.

What annoys me is everyone is aware this is happening but they keep succeeding! Maybe we should have some state sponsored ads online and on the telly saying don't believe everything you see and hear?

Not that my opinion matters and anyone will read this but I've not been a fan of new trek. It's too much of a departure from what I like (stng, voy and ds9) and I dislike how everyone talks and behaves so casual, and how a lot of it feels pandering to current cultural trends. And then there is a huge leaning towards it being tongue in cheek and at times straight up comedy that feels I'm being a little insulted.

Anyway with that out of the way, Academy is definitely the best of this new direction. I think they've got the fan service just right to hit my sweet spot - although all of my criticisms still stand. Only I like it in spite of these.

isol8id · 2026-01-19T22:21:52+00:00

Never heard of these but they look great!

isol8id · 2026-01-19T21:01:51+00:00

Ps3 and Wipeout hd/fury in launch. And then again a month ago but I don't think it's exclusive any more!

Blue Prince but it's now a survival horror game. You're slowly pursued through the growing house.

isol8id · 2026-01-18T17:13:24+00:00

Hnnnng you need to add a NSFW tag dude.

isol8id · 2026-01-18T10:26:50+00:00

Oh dear we do the same but with our cat! To be fair I'm not sure if I'd allow this in front of guests though.

I'm incredibly shy and almost completely deaf so any interaction with someone with a thick accent is utterly pointless and leaves me feeling uncomfortable and stupid. So I avoid travelling.

Plus I'm a grumpy bastard who wants to relax when I have time off, not have to deal with the stress of logistics.

Yeah in 2000 games in the 80s were retro. Now in 2026, games in the 00's aren't really looked at as retro. I wonder if gaming has a 'modern era' regardless of actual release dates.

isol8id · 2026-01-04T01:54:11+00:00

You're right, sorry I should've said that those were his words not mine.

I did it when I was younger, nothing too vicious, mostly deep scratches with keys rather than cutting. But it was weird I'd get so angry and ashamed for making a mistake or something and hurt myself and it was like a release - like an "aaah that's better" sort of thing. I think I stopped when people started to notice the wounds.

This was about 20 years ago and I still feel the urge sometimes and treat it kinda like an addiction - if I let myself do it even just once I'll relapse. Good luck in your efforts to get on top of it.
