I love simple convos like "favorite food" and "least favorite songs" cuz they just give a nice cozy feeling of us Smashboardians gathering together to share little convos about our lifestyles and opinions

With my rollercoaster mood lately, I appreciate these cozy convos a lot

Had a really tasty cheeseburger followed by a couple of ribs and fries, and now I wanna talk about food.

Idk if I've ever asked this, but what's YOUR favorite food? I never was able to choose my own but I'm pretty fond of spicy chicken and things flavored like it.
I like Cuban sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks as well as a good medium cooked steak

Here are some more Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay ideas of mine if anyone is interested.

Layered Wall Running: With this, not only does Sonic runs on walls, but he can run on pillars or staircases or ramps that lead him across the area to another wall in front of or behind the one Sonic was previously on.

2D Circumventing Double Jump: With this, Sonic can do a double jump off of either side of the path he is on, and, given there is a path above or below said path, Sonic can use the same double jump to reach such a path. This is useable for accessing pathways that are only accessible through this method.

Triple Boost Dash: With this move, which works like the Stomp in Sonic Frontiers, Sonic can do three consecutive boosts when the player presses the boost button three times, the third being the most powerful.

Wall Drifting: On some walls, there will be spirals with empty gaps next to those pathways, and Sonic can run on those paths or similar ones on walls by doing the Drift on them to get around. This works on Spiral Ramps on walls, too.

Half Pipe Side Jumping: From 0:48 to 1:18 here...


See the halfpipes here? With such pipes, or pipes less than 180 degrees or in between 180 and 360 degrees, Sonic can jump off the sides of these pipes to reach other halfpipes in the air, which allows him to reach multiple routes this way.

2D Area Drift: In some 2D sections, there are full 3D areas with flat ground that thus, are not 3D, but 2D. Sonic can actually use the Drift in these sections to not only change direction, but change the 2D plane he is on in these sections, from front and back to forward and backward, or diagonally, which can lead to alternate routes for Sonic to explore.

Hill U-Turn Drift: With a Sonic Adventure styled upgrade, Sonic can do U-Turns via the Drift to change direction on hills, which is useful for skateboarding-like physics.

3D Rolling Cages: Now, look at 1:04 here.


Now, with the rolling cages in 3D sections, which are like the rolling cages from Flying Battery Zone from Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic, depending on which direction he is facing before going through the cages, can "aim" like how he aims with the Cyan Wisp ability in the video before going off. This is semi-automatic, meaning Sonic can slow down if the player wishes to do so for some reason, but he can, with the Drift or stomp button, get out of this semi-automatic effect immediately. Still, this lets him go through the rolling cages in 3D much easier.

What do you all think?

Honestly, I always love seeing your ideas. They genuinely feel like something we can see in future Sonic games. They're really cool additions to Sonic's moveset that feel like they add on really nicely to what he already has.

ALSO THOSE ROLLING CAGES WERE SO COOL

Glad you like them! I do agree on the rolling cages being cool, too!

Being an enjoyer of watching current events has been a train wreck this year. It’s hard to find an iota of heartwarming news, at least within the first three months of this year.

I would vent to my mutuals, however, I live in the Bible Belt, where most people I know ignorantly advocate for said current events to escalate. :061:

Day 13: FFVII
c010695b-8541-486f-8939-f6eea43414a1.jpg

This legendary game needs no introduction, but how many people here have played it I wonder? FFVII is a fantastic game that the Nintendo crowd has been able to enjoy for like 5 years now and boy does it still hold up. The story is fantastic and nothing like the early 2010s youtubers told me it was gonna be like, especially in regards to Cloud, but the story really feels as great as it does because we have a simply fantastic cast of characters to follow around, I thught it was just gonna be Cloud talking about how sad he is but no, you start this game that's filled with whimsy alingside the serious stuff by blowing **** up in the name of eco terrorism, and Cloud is actually a really interesting character! I also adore Barret, especially in the remake, Yuffie's hilarious and I adore Aerith, who the internet told me was just a dumb pink girl who gets stabbed when she'll threaten to rip a crime lord's **** off to his face. The music is also utterly fantastic and the gameplay? Whew. Knowing most people here are Nintendo fans, you know how the Djinn system in Golden Sun works? It's kinda like that, anyone can equip any materia and it'll give them spells, abilities, passives, a bunch of stuff and change their stats a bunch. While the cast do have preferences for what roles they fullfil, you could honestly do anything you want with them for damn near limitless combinations, my only real issue is how you can only have 3 party members total, so whenever you go through the story, only 2 characters can react to the story in minor but charming ways. A must play to be sure, but the Switch version actually has a few cool things, in game cheats! Pressing the joysticks lets you get have full HP, MP and Limit for as long as it's active which is nice to prepare for a boss with or to grind Limit Breaks. Triple Speed, which is selfexplanatory, and no encounters for if you feel annoyed, though doing this will have bosses kick your ass if they deal more damage than you have health. I won't judge on using these, but please do play this if you can. It changed the industry for a reason

We got some pics of the DC Sonic crossover and well uh
View attachment 400120

Good god are they cooking
Surprised it wasn't yet again another Godzilla vrossover given how many there has been.

But I wouldn't rule it out of Godzilla having a crossover with Sonic at this point given Power Rangers, DC, Cthulhu, and most recently Marvel yet again.

Honestly surprised a Godzilla/Ultraman crossover actually hasn't happened yet tbh...That and with Transformers.
I am legitimately starting to just really hate the human race.
Honestly I don't give us even a hundred years at this point.

COVID really unleashed stupidity we didn't think was possible.

I try not to get too political but I will say I've been seeing icky notions lately. But I'm not talking about the alt-right side, I mean the side that's (allegedly) fighting him

Like, seeing rhetoric that they wanna deport immigrants who didn't vote for their candidate, excusing genocide that their party perputrated, blaming minorities because, surprise surprise, they didn't "save America", generation wars, and idk but all this "everything I don't like on the internet is Chinese and/or Russian bots" reeks of xenophobia.


Or maybe I should get off Reddit.

I 100% the Switch version like 5 years ago and recently finished Remake and the Yuffie DLC. Still one of the best RPGs of all time both ways.

I’ll pick up Rebirth when it hits PS Plus in a while. I got too many expensive games on my to-do list rn to buy more :191:

I’ve noticed that r/conservative blames bots when they get massively downvoted or will turn on their fellow members that need to get approved to post if they disagree with an announcement, or headline.

Yes… so many liberal spies were exposed when they dare have second thoughts invading Greenland and Canada, or when the tariffs tanked the stock market.

I saw Elon posting actual rhetoric supporting the evil mustache WWII man the other day by saying it was his subordinates responsible for you know what. Like what the **** man? The only people buying this are cultists who already drank the proverbial Koolaid or the youth with unsupervised internet access getting brainwashed by these apathetic influencers. And ****, the white male demographic is pretty huge, so I can see how it’s become so widespread and successful.

It’s ****ed both ways man. These two extreme sides of the culture war are such a vocal minority that it’s all that blows up on my feed nowadays. I could hide on Bluesky, sure, but I’ll still be exposed to one side regardless.

...okay.

I won't try to change your minds. I'm a lot more positive about the future, but I know constant positivity can get beyond exhausting...even in the times we're in right now.

But if humanity only has so much time left...I guess we better make the most of it.

I’m an optimist, so I try.

I’ve been trying volunteer work recently, to help get my mind off it. Some “when there’s nothing you can do, do what you can” type stuff. I still hear about this stuff wherever I go, and I’m not sure if its me being older or if this specific administration is legitimately more frightening than last time. I’m watching people drink more sludge of misinformation, ignorance, and bigotry at levels I feel I haven’t seen before.

It's hard to stay positive for the future when everything going on in the world is all people talks about nowadays...

Can't even escape talk of it wherever I go in town...

Welcome to the internet where news spreads faster than before than ever.

Soon enough everyone is just gonna resort to humor as if it's the only thing keeping hope in this world making jokes related to all the events that is happening.

Trust me, I understand...

Even I can find it hard to be positive all the time.

But here's something worth remembering: humanity is resilient. Countless disasters have happened in our long history. The Black Death, countless wars (including numerous past the invention of feared nuclear weaponry), endless disasters both natural and caused by foolish decisions. We've survived through it all. I think we can hold strong in the next four years. Just do whatever you can to help.

Exactly! If we were not so resilient, we would not be alive by now. We are a tougher species than even some members of humanity seem to think!

None of that compares to today. Lmao.

Since COVID this world became more stupid then ever. I noticed and things I didn't think was possible for people to do has convinced me were not lasting another 100 years at this point especially the morons that wanted Trump as president again because they don't want a woman as one and now probably don't even regret the mess that idiot has made. Their fault for voting him.

As George Carlin said though. The planet is fine. The people are ******

You know, about misinformation and bigotry on the internet, it doesn’t help that many parents these days are not seemingly monitoring their kids’ activity on the internet. It is as if they are letting the internet shape and raise their kids by itself.
Exactly this, imo. I was a child of unsupervised internet access, and I was basically fed misinformation to view specific things, ideas, people as bad.

If I do have a child, you’re damn right I’m gonna supervise the **** out of their internet. 13 year olds don’t need to be chronically online like I was, and I believe it’s an unaccounted epidemic that’s been steadily growing. Those iPad kids are growing up, along with all the terrible content that they become propagandized to.

What’s even worse is that these parents also fall victim to said propaganda via TV, or their own internet addictions.

Of course! If I have kids myself, I am going to do the same with them. Bad parenting should be a crime, well, in some ways, it is, but not for supervising kids on the internet and overall, not by enough.

To the morons that voted for Trump again.

Hope your proud of the mess he caused. All of this is on you, all because of not wanting a woman as president who would have been a better president than Donald the Trumpard.

Also **** the justice system for not putting down the worst scum like pedophiles, serial killers, and such instead letting them be in prison fed good meals.

While dogs everyday in kill shelters get put down for not being adopted but nah let's keep the pedophiles and serial killers alive and have ones like Victor Salva still walk amongst us.

I don't care what anyone says. Anyone touch or hurt a child or animal. They should be killed immediately. **** the rules. I believe what is right.

There have always been stupid people. But they're a loud minority. There's still a lot of smart people out there. You're surrounded by a lot of smart, reasonable and great people right now. Noi, Gwen, P, Jess, Cosmic, Will, Wario, Snake, Aurane, Sneaky, countless others. We're all here to help each other.

Does it stink that Trump got elected again? Yes, undoubtedly. But, please don't give up.

Even if the worst could happen, feeling like this all the time will make your life a misery. Your life is precious - enjoy it while you can.
