I didn’t know that, thank you.

comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.

That’s… what I said.

My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they’re the devil, when in reality they’re just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I’m not trying to convince you it isn’t. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it’s the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?

Here’s the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don’t care about Nintendo’s copyright lawsuits enough that it’s the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard’s leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don’t know what nuance or perspective are.

I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There’s a sentence about it in the article.

I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.

It’s beta builds of old games. It’s only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.

These taste almost identical to regular Pepsi. It’s kind of a ripoff.

What type of dog is this?

That’s when you get bofa deez nuts removed.

Rotor is canonically gay. I don’t even have to rank him.

I only included characters from the games because if I hadn’t I’d be here all day.

My original idea was “If Sega decided one of these characters is gay tomorrow, who is it going to be?”. It morphed into the list you see before you. I took into account both actions and how Sega treats them, as well as just general vibes.

I didn’t say that it was a tier list based on how surprised I’d be if they came out as Bisexual, now did I? Strictly gay.

Sega has a bunch of mandates regarding how Sonic is allowed to behave, so there’s meta reason for his placement. They don’t even let him cry, so coming out of the closet would be enormous.

TBH, I didn’t know what to do with Charmy, since Team Chaotix doesn’t really get that much development. I stuck him in the middle just to be safe.

Honestly, why do you need graphics to create that level of detail? In regular gameplay, you aren’t getting closeups of your characters face. It’s just a waste of energy on the part of the animators.

I could have sworn Atari was bankrupt. Where’d they get the money to acquire anything?

Yeah. Oni press published an official licensed Aggretsuko comic way back when.

It’s mostly the bad guys who do that to my recollection, what with them being trolls and whatnot. Unfortunately, trolls happen to be the largest faction, so there is a lot of it.

Can you stomach edgy grimdark shit? Because it gets brutal once it gets going.

If the answer is yes then absolutely. Peak fiction right here.

Whoa, that actually is kinda deep. I didn’t really think about it so hard. I just saw a panel of Sonic choking the shit out of a rabbit and thought “I’m totally taking this out of context and posting it to 196 the next time I have to obey the rule”. Contextually, it’s not really making a statement about veganism one way or the other, which is why I was confused. Now I see that by removing said context, I have created a sort of Rorschach test. Suddenly the panel is open to interpretation, and it can mean whatever we want. If this thread views it as a statement about vegans, then who am I to argue with them?
