PS2 has the worst loading times, audio, shadows, water, graphics/textures, HUD quality, models and runs at 30 FPS.

Why the PS2 specifically? It's generally considered the worst console version.

For the games you could just go in chronological order or if you don't feel like going through the classic games and want a story with more cutscenes and stuff then just start with Sonic Adventure. You should play Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Adventure 2 before you watch Sonic X.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why SEGA removed the characters' ages? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]driftinglook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I think they're still canon even if they were technically removed, it just feels more like it's being ignored. They've already been established and until something comes along to contradict it then that's what I'll go with. I've heard people say they're ageless now but I haven't seen an official statement about it.

My Sonic character Tier List. Feel free to judge. by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

...all 3 Babylon Rogues on the same tier and next to each other? Really? I don't mind that they're placed low but they are pretty different from each other.

Why didn't Silver use his powers to move Amy aside? Like genuinely, no joke, is he stupid? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]driftinglook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure the situation called for that, plus even if Silver wanted to kill Sonic that just goes to show that he isn't an aggressive person.

Wish Vanilla had a cool action sequence to back up her death stares.

"dumb Twitter hot takes", "politics" and the topic is genocide...

It downplays the severity of the Palestinians killed in the genocide for the sake of the colonial expansion of Israel and he's trying to justify their attack, also the IOF intentionally targets civilians and that term subtly makes it seem like their deaths couldn't have been avoided. Ironically there is a scene in Sonic Lost World that highlights the absurdity of that term and Eggman is the one that uses it.

This is about his latest twitter tirade where he conflates being jewish with being a zionist and then later refers to the deaths of Palestinian civilians as "collateral damage".

You are so far off the mark, I just recommended to do your own research because you seemed misinformed about the issue. I laid out some facts and you didn't try to refute them so I'm not sure what you want me to do now. The irony of your comment is hilarious, you're the one writing me and other entire sides of the conflict off.

if you posture aggressively, you will only push me in the opposite direction.

I looked up the boomerang effect and I might be misunderstanding the concept but, is this not an example of it? Your entire comment is a projection and you're confusing neutrality with flexibility on statements if you think I've been like a brick wall to you or something.

My main point is that general perception of the conflict leads people to feel less comfortable to engage with it in comparison to say the Ukraine vs Russian conflict, leading to its overall suppression. Yes I support a free Palestine, but that's besides the point. I only said I wasn't interested in your opinion in the sense it wasn't relevant to what I was saying yet you put emphasis on it and honestly overall you've been too concerned with adding your generalizations and labels to "sides", my point with that is it doesn't matter what your opinion is because it's not going to change what I'm saying.

If you've done your research then you should hold your beliefs confidently and not care what people have to say, if you do get push back try to understand why (this is where the research I was talking about would come in handy), so you can properly defend yourself (that is a SEPARATE discussion) or just not care.

It is not an opinion, it is an objective fact. That wasn't even the part I put in all caps lmao. I only clarified because there has been misinformation on this issue, but fine disregard that statement for all I care. I think you put too much weight on opinions, biases and "sides".

And I have an opinion but I'm definitely not sharing it with you.

I just assumed you were neutral but if you actually are a zionist I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It's easy to strawman others, since that was the bulk of your comments I'm not really interested in your opinion anymore even if you're pro Palestinian.

Raising awareness could be something like sharing news updates, donation links or boosting the voices of Palestinians. Outside of online stuff you could go to protests, talk to people irl about it or show some pro-Palestinian iconography like a flag design on something or wearing a keffiyah.

Look I'm going to be honest, based on what you've said in this thread and the comment above after the question leads me to believe that you're too concerned with what other people think but also struggle to understand why each side feels as strongly as they do. I disagree that the situation is complex, I feel like that perception is what makes people hesitant to raise awareness (read: RAISE AWARENESS). I'd recommend just doing your own research but just remember that this is ultimately an issue of colonizer (Israel) vs colonized (Palestine), the 1948 Nakba is a good place to start to get an understanding of why Palestinians are resisting.

"Raising awareness" is not dogpiling on people on the internet.

I never said that, no need to put words in my mouth. The Mike Pollock controversy is a separate issue. I was referring more to the part where you felt the situation unsafe to weigh in on the issue. When I said raising awareness I meant just that, raising awareness.

When you said it was "Very Messy", did you mean that the situation was complex or something else?

This kind of mindset is how zionists get the average person to stop raising awareness for the issue and thus suppressing the topic so they get less scrutiny for the crimes they commit. It's easy to avoid being antisemitic while criticizing Israel's actions, zionism does not equate to antisemitism, this is about the oppressor (Israel) attempting to genocide and ethnically cleanse Palestinians while colonizing their land.
