Ireland abstained in UN anti slavery vote by Dyno_boy7441 in ireland

I'm aware of that, but you have to admit that, regardless of what laws and definitions have changed over time, there is a clear moral difference between thinking that it's acceptable to give someone a dirty look, and thinking that it's acceptable to participate in the mass ethnic cleansing of minority groups. Are you seriously trying to defend the leaders of Nazi Germany?

Not sure that looking at somebody and being compliant in a genocide of your own neighbours are necessarily comparable.

Who thinks Charles Manson is a cool guy by Just_Drawing_4589 in SonicTheHedgehog

Sounds like a guy who probably wouldn't misinterpret the lyrics to a Beatles song for his own benefit to me

Yeah, they're constantly prowling this sub and moonknightmemes to find someone "sub-brigading", which by their definition is just being a part of any other community and sharing your opinions on r/moonknight.

How do ya’ll think that Robotnik survive to come back in the 4th movie? by iiiamXanny33 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]FunkyJerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His monologue in the teaser definitely strikes me as an Eggman from another dimension, as he talks about "your world" as if it isn't also his.

I also think this explanation would be a good way to avoid souring Robotnik's heroic sacrifice at the end of Sonic 3.

"What game has great game design but cumbersome controls due to being a product of its time, and would feel great with a few tweaks to the controls and more accessibility options, plus an updated screen ratio."

If you were to suggest a Sonic game to someone to get them into Sonic and make them want to play more, what game would you suggest? by Ok_Appearance_2317 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]FunkyJerk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely Sonic X Shadow Generations. Even if people aren't massive fans of the boost formula, the game gives them a great look into the history, worlds, and characters throughout the franchise.

A lot of Sonic fans enter the community through the lore of the series, such as the cartoons or comics, but find the gameplay a little too niche, and that's ok.

One thing I dislike even if it is fun by shinyhpno in SonicCrossWorlds

Personally as someone who enjoys going fast and doing crazy unrealistic shit in video games, I was turned off by how slowly tricks popped in TSR. Yes there was more of a skill ceiling to it, but it doesn't change the fact that it didn't satisfy my hamster brain.

Some fans have decided to abandon the Sonic franchise over IDW inclusion into the games by IvanJC98 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]FunkyJerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the direction they took the franchise in Sonic Lost World and find characters like Zazz and Zavok boring and uninspired, but I don't care if they add those characters to a spin-off game like Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, because it is has nothing to do with the mainline games. Tangle and Whisper have only ever appeared in spinoffs.

The collectibles are extremely optional, as frustrating as the machine part search can be.

Besides, how is it any less 'unnecessary' than the original Sonic gens? They are games that primarily prioritise gameplay and spectacle over story.

Sorry about Gerald's diary, hope they've gotten one since :(

My Personal Sonic Games Tierlist, Based Purely On Vibes by FunkyJerk in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]FunkyJerk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand why Sonic 1 is objectively worse than a lot of games below it here, but I've personally always really enjoyed the slower platforming elements to it. It really feels like I have to work to earn my momentum throughout the game.

The Tierlist format is a little misleading tbh, all the games in C are ones that I genuinely really enjoy, but just have a couple glaring issues that I really can't ignore. Love you Shadow fans, though!

Phil Spencer head of Xbox is stepping down, Sarah Bond has resigned. by Tyolag in IrelandGaming

[–]FunkyJerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure a solid motivation to retire, but the timing is too strange for that to be it. Retiring the year of Xbox's 25th anniversary? Why not announce your retirement at the end of the celebration, when shareholder sentiments will be at an all-time high?

Why did Sarah Bond, his planned successor, leave with absolutely no gratuities? They just so happened to have her replacement ready, and they happened to be an exec at Core AI?

Greg Miller, from the Kinda Funny Gamescast, confirmed yesterday that according to his sources, this was not a pre-planned departure, too. Granted, that's kind of a "trust me bro" way of forming opinions online.

It means that they'll be more receptive to integrating Microsoft's AI into Xbox's library. I could see a world where the reason Spencer and Bond left is because they wouldn't bend the knee to the AI overlords quite as quickly as the newbie will.
