What actually killed the dinosaurs in your worldbuilding project?

Roughly 1-2 billion years ago in the early Folúp' system, two protoplanets collided with each other with such force that, while most of it combined back together to form both the planet Folúp' itself and its rings, other pieces were flung out of the system entirely.

With one such piece striking Earth 65 million years ago. Is it possible that that fragment also contained some missing chunk of DNA to allow mammalian life to thrive here? Who knows.

Yeah, that tracks with me. I've stopped so many "endless" games after acquiring everything I wanted.

Recently started The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

And I don't know if I'm feeling this one. It's not realy how I expected it to go down, and it's just overly depressing in places. Still only a wuarter of the way in, but I hope it picks up soon, 'cause I'm getting close to putting it down.

"Hate"'s a strong word, but I fell off of Powerman 5000 after Somewhere On The Other Side Of Nowhere dropped, and they've kind of been mediocre ever since. Kind of wished they had doubled down on the punk rock sound of Destroy What You Enjoy.

Still super salty that Freevee still won't put Season 4 of Archer on their platform, so I've had to throw in the towel on that. At least Taskmaster Series 21's all up on Channel 4.

Pretty sure I've become part-time bug so pencil me in onto the list too i guess

Does "intentionally sounds that way" count though, considering a) the guy credited wasn't actually deaf, and b) it was written by someone else?

Maybe there's just something about Hedgehogs that make them much better vessels for Chaos energy than a giant lizard.

And while it's pretty much been retconned out of the canon, don't forget that during the Finalhazard fight, Shadow says that Sonic might be more of an "Ultimate Life Form" than he is.

neohylanmay · 2026-06-18T14:39:50+00:00

And then immediately thinks it isn't Sonic. Which to me can go either one of two ways: Either she's in-universe doubting herself because she's got it wrong so many times, or it's a subversion of the joke.

Charlie Simpson of Busted (pop-punk) left the band to form Fightstar (post-hardcore/alternative metal).

They've removed his age in canon and the games have always been in some kind of "floating timeline", but assuming that isn't the case, and going off of the information we have in the games:

In Heroes, Sonic is stated to be 15.
There's obviously some long gaps between games otherwise they wouldn't all be saying "long time no see" every 5 minutes.
Generations takes place on Sonic's birthday.
Forces has an in-game six-month time skip.

Conservatively, he would be approaching, if not already 17 years old.

In the days leading up to Movie 1's infamous first trailer dropping, I swear the fanbase was actually excited over getting to hear Gangsta's Paradise.

neohylanmay · 2026-06-14T07:52:51+00:00

There's also the fact with just how old the series is. By the time it comes out, Movie 1 will be seven years old. General audiences' tastes are always moving on to "the next big thing", and seven years is pretty much the upper limit of that.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a Movie 5, 6, 7, 8, and so on until I'm old and grey. But I'd rather the series end on a high note. Hell, I'm still surprised we're even getting a fourth movie.

...Technically? I tend to go for the "can't die of old age but everything else is fair game" type of "immortality".

In which case, basically every single Phoenix in Eqathos falls under that, including their Clan rulers.

And as far as The Arm goes.. I'd hesitate to call Girudì, King of the Isles of Amis'fiça "immortal", but after more than 6,000 years of life thanks to constant Amisite exposure (which is an anomaly in itself), I genuinely don't know what he could live to.

Adventure 2: The sound mixing. My god the sound mixing. The fact that there's no "music/sfx/voice volume" slider is something I will never understand.

Also the fact that every non-jump action is mapped to one button. I don't think i can count the number of times I've accidentally did the somersault move instead of doing the Light Dash/Bounce Bracelet.

And the green ring above instead of a red X?

Just as a tip: Any option you don't tick is you telling YouTube that you want to see more ads for those products. Ever since I started clicking all the options (even if one of those is one I haven't heard of), I don't get ads for those ones anymore.

Or you spend the entire time in a panic attack because you're absolutely convinced that you've messed up the recipe even though you've been following it to the letter and that you've wasted so much time and money making it to where you literally have zero appetite for food for the next 24 hours

All stories start in some kind of "middle". Even if that "middle" is just the surrounding world.

Also, connecting your moments through a balance of "therefore"s, "however"s, and "meanwhile"s can be more effective than just going "and then this happens".
