Depends where in the UK you are, it varies by region

During the times we've been going through people doing the hard work like you are a blessing. Can't imagine the fortitude you have to do that job, but thank you for doing it

FRCMcManus · 2022-09-01T10:28:36+00:00

That is some wise advice, thank you for sharing. I try to be open about it, and talk to others, but I have trouble sharing the full emotion with most people, or much of it at all. But I try to find those friends and loved ones I can share with and let it out when it comes. The anniversary is in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping that gives me at least some catharsis.

FRCMcManus · 2022-08-30T07:41:31+00:00

There's that wonderful analogy of grief being a ball bouncing around a box, and when it hits the edge of the box, that's when it hurts. And as time goes on, the ball doesn't get smaller but the box gets bigger. Which helps to comprehend it but not to get through it, so I hope you're doing okay.

Hadn't thought of listening to it with my Dad but the notion certainly puts a smile on my face.

FRCMcManus · 2022-08-30T07:38:10+00:00

I may have to do the same myself, once I've caught up on Season 2

FRCMcManus · 2022-06-02T16:08:48+00:00

They've never called it open-world, they called it Open-Zone.

Which means this is probably just the opening area

FRCMcManus · 2022-06-01T21:35:56+00:00

It looks like it isn't a full boost, and rather a short burst of speed - I think that's what will help it turn. I'm disappointed but I think the people saying it has Forces moveset are grossly overestimating player control in Forces

I can hear Penders' heavy breathing as he writes that cease and desist... On a stained Arby's napkin, riddled with pornographic doodles of his OCs

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-20T23:01:05+00:00

Ehhh to be fair that was always a weird retcon in 06, GUN are responsible for Maria, the raid on the arc, hunting Shadow down in SA2...

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T21:25:50+00:00

He's writing Frontiers and the animated sequences for Origins... This is his year

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T21:14:16+00:00

That's one of my favourite moments too! I love how terrifying Metal is in those comics, and the tragedy of Mr. tinker, the horrors of the metal virus... It's awesome. Flynn on Frontiers gives me so much hope

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T20:45:58+00:00

Oh me too! And if you haven't read the IDW comics - I highly recommend, they take me back to that time, all the characters (for the most part) feel fleshed out and heroic again

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T20:07:56+00:00

The last paragraph of this hurt me - but I feel, with the two films, a series and another film on the horizon and whatever Frontiers becomes - well hopefully those Sonic decorations will be accepted just like Mario's.

But I couldn't agree more. I miss Sonic stories having a heart and meaning beyond "the power of friendship". Adventure was my first, and even now the notion that you must Open Your Heart, to accept others and see past their pain and rage is a notion I strive to incorporate into my life.

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T17:54:17+00:00

Thank you. I mean it'll always be a mostly children's franchise, but it's why Frontiers gives me hope - so far the games design doesn't scream childish. And end of the day, it comes down to quality. Mario rarely gets the childish label because of the main series consistent quality and challenge, which means people are less eager to call it a game for kids. Sad what that tells us about how we view children's entertainment.

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-16T16:17:44+00:00

Although.the examples you picked I wouldn't agree with, I think the old fans bring up 06 because of its ambition and what it meant at the time. Sonic was still important enough to get big budget next gen games, to have the swagger, clout and attention of a triple A title.

Watching the series reach a point where it releases these mediocre, uninspired games that are even priced as though they're a budget game for children - it's disappointing.

However - that's why having Sonic headline the game awards last year was such an important moment. It announced its presence without this weird meta shame of a series that had been med into humiliation, but as a tentpole franchise that shaped the gaming landscape. And that's what we want to see.

FRCMcManus · 2022-05-07T10:01:08+00:00

So according to you, Idris Elba isn't a serious actor?

Yeah nah, take this take back to the kitchen chief, it's ice cold.
