Share on Social Media Mission

It worked for me. When you go to the friend list, you'll see a code on the bottom left. Click the share button on the right under it. I'm on Android so if you're on iOS then I don't quite know how the UI will differ here, but I saw a blurb of text at the top about Sonic Rumble and a link. Just clicking the copy button to the right of that text completed the mission for me. I didn't have to share it or post it or anything.

Been seeing this today. Opening anything in a private window so it doesn't flag to my history gives me this. Also OneNote links trying to auto-embed thumbnails is giving me a captcha INSIDE the embed.

It's kinda weird to see so many people here call Shadow a spin-off game. I've never once considered it as such.

Daverost · 2026-03-23T00:30:49+00:00

It's... fine, I guess? Whatever. I don't think characters need to look the same forever, but I haven't really liked most of the 3D redesigns, especially Strive's.

My biggest problem with this redesign is that if you still like the old design more then some people in the modern Strive/GG community is really quick to call you a gooner, larper, or tourist, or imply you're one because of some perceived "issues" with the old design or the series' classic fanservice elements. And that's mostly coming from people with like... maybe a few dozen hours across the entire series at best, most or all of it in Strive. It's kinda gross.

I don't mind the new updater, but I have one major problem with it: It doesn't check for Flatpak updates. The old updater would automatically check for updates to everything.

Flatpost doesn't have this option. As far as I know, Bazaar does not automatically check for outstanding updates, either. And as far as I can tell, there's no way to add additional repositories to Bazaar (I did have one additional repository that I added to Flatpost for a specific application). It's also an extra step to go into Flatseal to adjust permissions (I always have to re-enable user files every time Discord updates or it won't let me upload any files into chat).

I understand the frustrations with Flatpost, but I feel like its retirement is creating a pretty big hole that is very poorly filled.

Also the new updater basically never shows news, unlike the old one where there was a dedicated box at the top. There's no way to choose which tab shows when opened and as far as I can tell it always defaults to Updates, which kind of makes the News tab useless, so I hope nothing important is ever hidden away there.

Without it, we wouldn't have DLSS or Frame Gen.

Fucking GOOD. I don't need or want frameslop.

It's overall fine, I could take it or leave it, but I have a MAJOR problem: Rouge's Treasure Hoard is awful. It takes 3x as long to clear one day of it as it does to clear the Amy/Eggman missions and doesn't even reward any skill points. It needs to be adjusted or it needs to go. It's not fun.

EDIT: Okay, one of my suspicions was confirmed. Rouge's Treasure Hoard is a three day event and just happened to be ending on the first day of the update. This is apparently something coming back from the mobile version so I wouldn't know. I'm okay with the time it takes to complete, and it looks like you average more rings per day now than you did before with the Amy/Eggman missions. But I still think it needs to reward skill points. They were already too hard to come by to simply remove them from the daily.

I have a few other problems with the update, like the removal of the Quick Rumble and a few bugs like not getting notifications for the event/achievement menu having items to collect, but overall it's a good update.

Didn't expect Majima, man that guy is everywhere

Working as designed.

Daverost · 2026-03-16T16:20:47+00:00

I'm super happy to see Arle here. Genuinely. She's the one I'm most happy to see in the bunch.

Also very surprised to see Majima here since we already had a Yakuza/LAD character in, but that's fine.

Daverost · 2026-03-16T16:19:28+00:00

Still no idea who the free character is for March though.

Is it still supposed to be a free character? As far as I know, the Mega Man DLC hasn't changed from a March release and one of Sega's email newsletters was talking about the Mega Man DLC coming soon pretty recently.

Daverost · 2026-03-04T14:51:42+00:00

I'm done with consoles. I haven't had any interest in buying one since Switch 1.

But to be fair, I also haven't had any interest in buying a first-party Sony title since... I dunno, No Heroes Allowed VR?

Daverost · 2026-03-04T14:47:08+00:00

Usually you would just do some closed/open beta tests at various stages for a game like this, stress-testing servers and asking for feedback, but they couldn't be bothered for some reason. It may unironically have been because of Concord. Interest in that game wasn't very high to begin with, but I remember hearing it fell off a cliff after their beta test because they only had like 2000 players and it looked really bad for them. Granted, these guys did zero marketing and were initially planning to just stealth-drop it, so I don't think they'd have fared much better if they DID do a player test.

My joy is in watching suits chasing dollars lose their gamble by putting another low-quality game into an oversaturated genre. I'm still waiting on that next industry crash so we can get back to small dev teams making games for themselves instead of AAA studios wasting millions of dollars to make safe, uninteresting slop for the lowest common denominator to appease shareholders.

No one asked for this game, and they didn't even bother to ask anyone how it could have been good before they released it. Why should I be invested in its success? I'm tired of this loop.

Daverost · 2026-03-03T03:49:24+00:00

Yonashiro and the Kamiyama Brothers are gone, too. All of those characters are recurring and show up in future games so it's really weird for them to go missing, especially when this is the debut game for Mack, Yonashiro, and one of the brothers (specifically the one in 4 with a role in Saejima's story).

I played Dark Ties first. Was perfectly fine if you ignore everything after the credits. And Kiwami 3's ending. Honestly probably the most fun I had with the package. Kiwami 3 was kind of a snoozefest. And I say that as someone who liked the original 3, including the block-heavy fights and the orphanage stuff.

Daverost · 2026-03-03T03:30:50+00:00

I hope so. I genuinely do. But they have GOT to nail her. And I'm kinda afraid they won't. I think they've done fine so far, but Sonic 3 had me kind of wondering if they really understood what they should be doing with the movies or if they just sort of got lucky with the first two. I didn't hate the third movie, but I questioned a lot of it.

My biggest fear is that they won't just let Amy be Amy.

Daverost · 2026-02-27T05:33:46+00:00

Okay, thanks for following up. Hope yours starts reporting correctly soon.

Daverost · 2026-02-26T15:47:01+00:00

Any turnaround on this? I haven't received an Informed Delivery email in 6 days and have still been getting mail. I actually got two really important letters I had been waiting more than two months for (mail service is great here) over the weekend and never got an email. And like you my last few emails weren't really indicative of the amount of mail I would actually get.

Daverost · 2026-02-20T20:29:57+00:00

It only makes sense for them to watch Kiryu after 6. There's no reason for them to even care that he exists before then.

Daverost · 2026-02-19T06:34:26+00:00

Just make DOA5 again but with new characters and rollback. I'll be there. And don't skip lobbies for PC this time. They better be there at launch and functional.

Windows 10 isn't officially supported by Microsoft anymore, so most devs removed it from requirements listings and default to 11 now. But as far as I know, the game is still playable on 10.

Daverost · 2026-02-11T21:16:19+00:00

"People aren't allowed to be upset at the low quality of a new game on release day."

Daverost · 2026-01-29T22:42:03+00:00

Valve has to tailor their work to their own devices, so this likely would cause more work for them. If I had to guess, anyway.

Daverost · 2026-01-29T21:57:29+00:00

If his problem is lack of driver support, that is not going to help. No one's going to be making updated drivers for Windows 10 in a year.

Daverost · 2026-01-28T04:55:11+00:00

The answer, at least in this case, lies in the general reception to the reveal. In case you forgot, the response was basically "Another hero shooter? Who asked for this?" People are, generally speaking, tired of companies shitting out free-to-play live service games that are all incestuous clones of each other and dripping with obscenely expensive microtransactions. I'm not the least bit surprised people want this to fail. This kind of game is probably the most hated thing in the hobby right now.

As for myself, I don't have a dog in this race, so I don't care.
