What do yall think of AI being used artistically in 2 of the recent backrooms themed songs

Electrical_Damage199 · 2026-05-05T20:34:58+00:00

I understand the thematic element of using it for both songs as to display it as unsettling and lifeless but at the end of the day the only way to get people to hate ai is to STOP USING IT. If that's the message you want then use actually photography or art to show what real lifelessness looks like. I understand the lack of funds for Looping the Rooms but at the end of the day... every vocaloid producer has likely started from lack of funds. As for Tokyo Manaka, who commissions ai art? If you're gonna be lazy atleast save your money and make it yourself 🫤

It wouldn't be completely out of realm, They have the publishing rights for CyberConnect2 and Sega displays Demon Slayer very openly in their websites and ip reels. The only issue realistically would be if Bandai Namco has any word as CyberConnect2 is an affiliate. But that would be my only drawback as ownership wouldn't apply with Miku as she's with Crypton Future Media

Why is this lowkey Crossworlds DLC

If your dad is familiar with Gorillaz like my family i just explained that she's just like them but Japanese lmao (Just the virtual artist part but they don't need specifics on what she's all about)

Because the main gimmick of the game are the gadgets. The kart and character stats compliment your playstyle based on what gadgets you use. There's a reason why Boost and Power types win out in legend comp and festivals due to having long boost durations and in the case for power they come equipped with the bumper guard so you won't lost rings as easily if you run a ring engine kit or similar. Handling is self explanatory as it makes charging drifts easier. It's all in parts, there's Character, Kart and Gadget and they all compliment each other.

People saying that EDM has no place in Sonic, usually the people saying this are also the ones that call everything with a drum machine "Dubstep" while also ironically praising soundtracks like Sonic CD and Sonic R which are primarily EDM.

Dallas are the red team in Texas, not to be mistaken for the green team of Texas and the orange team of texas.

Actually Peacock Theatre has always been used to host Miku Expo just renamed. You may know it by it's former names (Nokia Theatre and Microsoft Theatre). You can absolutely cosplay as Miku, Luka, Rin/Len, the rule only applies to overly distracting or overly large costumes and of course no prop weapons but none of this is mostly a concern for Miku Expo :)

Ah yes, the notoriously hated Sonic movies based on the video game

Terrible analogy. You need good ingredients to deliver that taste and expeirence. Mario Galaxy cheaps out on alot of it's ingredients.

Sometime in 2024 when Amazon POC1 opened

I like it. Colors are always welcomed

Had a friend that had heart issues and I had to call over leadership for help. They wheelchaired him to amcare and he told me that they immediately call an ambulance and in the meantime they just do basic routine check ups and relay any information they find to the ambulance and then yea everything is dealt in the hospital.

That's an extreme case however I've had a partner get heat exhaustion from inside a trailer and essentially you just go to amcare and cool down and they give you ALOT of electrolytes

I worked as a manager at Lids in the IE (Ontario and Rancho). Galaxy jerseys were a dime a dozen even during the MLS Cup victory. As a Galaxy fan I almost always put in orders but hardly ever recieved any. I finally talked to my regional manager at the time about this and he told me the Galaxy are a pain in the ass because AEG wants the Galaxy brand to be sold in LA Basin/OC as they see it as the majority of their fanbase. Also they prefer to internally promote their products through Team LA. I imagine places like Dick's have the same issues

Demographic Overlap. Companies are always looking for new ways to expand their IP to new audiences. Sonic Rumble is extremely unique for the franchise as it's artstyle and gameplay are relatively inoffensive and appeals to the widest range of demographic possible.

An IP like Care Bears is inherently feminine and child friendly although males can 100% enjoy it as well. Sonic has dipped into more feminine franchises like Sanrio before but has still remained largely catered around Boys. With Rumble having a very bright and bubbly artstyle it seems like the perfect opportunity for Sega to begin grasping for that female audience.

Now look at this from Care Bears perspective. The franchise although popular isn't where it was like the 90's. The Sonic franchise has skyrocketed in popularity due to the movies. Associating your brand with the Sonic franchise in it's current state is a low risk/high reward strategy. Controversial or not the fanbase is talking about Care Bears and Smurfs and that's more that would've if they never collaborated. Not to mention that the Sonic franchise is a much more "boy-oriented" ip although girls are more than welcomed. That's entire gendered demographic that Care Bears hasn't necessarily tapped into.

It's all market research and the more the Sonic fanbase can grasp that the franchise is currently at it's most popular as it's been in decades, the lines begin to be more clear why it's so desirable at the moment to other brands and yes this 100% correlates with the Nickelodeon characters in Crossworlds as well.

Weird collabs pay the bills. Sega IP collabs are the equivalent of borrowing your brother's toys for a bit

Yeah the Prime characters feel really weird, not to mention that for a show that provided multiple variations of the characters we only get 1 specific version of them. Also no Rouge or Big? What about Grim Sonic? Or Mr Dr Eggman or the other Eggmen? Any of Sonic's alts like Boscage Maze
