>>29940 A general thread means you can post whatever you want about the series bro, stop making these worthless redirect posts

All this time Chris was only imagining things.

When did you first start visiting 4/sthg/, anons? Are we newfags or oldfags here?

Do you think Sonic Team will give Tikal a decent role again in a game?

>>29944 (29022) /sthg/ only needed one person keeping a close eye on. And so did other generals and other sub-communities in various boards. How many dedicated moderators would that be? I agree the moderation of community-specific issues was bad, I'm just saying they were usually quick with dealing with serious issues that affected the site as a whole, whereas some other even bigger sites (social networks) don't even bother with that at all. This has been my opinion of the moderation team for a while, but there's something I never had the chance to say before. I've suspected that they had some sort of user tracking method with a reputation system to decide which users to be more lenient with or which reports to pay closer attention and the leak seemed to confirm that. I think my tracking reputation increased after I started expressing my less than fully negative opinion of the moderation team because when I would report posts they would get deleted faster (they weren't exceptionally fast mind you, I just felt like they weren't ignored as much). They probably let you get away with more things if you just sucked their dick all the time and I thought that was funny when I started noticing.

>>29960 tourist since 2015, regular since last year

>>29961 That would be cool. But no, I don't think they will. Can she at least get her Sonic Channel profile back?

>>29963 What I'm personally annoyed by is the fact that if there's a serious issue with a user they don't let you report that user beyond the report function, which won't give the janny the context

>>29960 I came to /sthg/ in early 2023. Frontiers was the first Sonic game I ever completed, but I had gotten into Sonic a few months before Frontiers released when I played through most of Rush.

>>29960 Sometime in late 2021 is when I started becoming a regular

>April 2025 >I am forgotten Why was SxSG such a flash in the pan? Even Superstars had more staying power than it.

>>29966 That's true too, I was always annoyed by how limited the report system was. I feel like it was less limited several years ago but I don't remember exactly

>>29971 Movie tie in game that didn't really tell us anything new about Shadow but was pretty awesome and heartfelt nonetheless. The story was short, set in a void, during a time long in the past. Frontiers and Forces are the only two Sonic titles in the last decade that actually progress the franchise plot.

>>29971 Because half of the game was shit we've already seen before, and because Ian Flynn is a complete fucking hack who cannot write something genuinely interesting or memorable. What's the last time he wrote an iconic line that didn't cause some drama or backlash? Over 10 years ago?

>>29971 271 players (24-hour peak), 97 players right now

>>29975 Nobody appreciates this character for her canon personality

>>29963 >dealing with serious issues Like not having glaring security holes due to old obsolete code? The only fucking reason 4chan lasted as long as it did was cause nobody gave a shit to attack the website outside of the "Butts everywhere" spammer. When they actually pissed off competent people, the website died immediately. From top to bottom, the 4chan team were retards. That's not even an opinion but a fact given we have the evidence to prove it now.

>>29971 >Why was SxSG such a flash in the pan? Even Superstars had more staying power than it. ...

>>29979 I was thinking about how apparently the code hadn't been updated since moot left. So there's probably still code in there that a 15 year old in the early 00s wrote. It's a wonder it didn't die sooner.

>>29979 >Like not having glaring security holes due to old obsolete code? I meant specifically in regards to deleting literal shit and illegal material off the site but alright that's a fair point, I concede

>>29960 Around late spring/early summer of 2023. I started drawing thanks to /sthg/.

>>29981 Did moot have programming skills? As far as I know it wasn't even him who wrote the original software, it was some moderator that left the site after the first few years. I remember finding him on Twitter talking about how shit his programming skills were and how 4chan never did any serious updates to his original code

>>29978 I like her.

>>29974 >Frontiers and Forces are the only two Sonic titles in the last decade that actually progress the franchise plot. Fuck that's depressing. >TSR has a story and is canon to the other games, but nothing happens >Dream Team has a story where stuff arguably happens but will never be referenced by or have any impact on mainline games >Everything else is a remake or barely has a story Will this franchise ever move forward again?

>>29960 I am very new, like halfway 2024.

>>29976 >What's the last time he wrote an iconic line that didn't cause some drama or backlash? Over 10 years ago? When was the last time the games have had any sort of iconic line that didn't cause drama or backlash?

>>29986 We got our first "canon" Tv series but it's aimed at 5 year olds and is deliberately written to undo its entire plot so that it doesn't contradict the games, but contradicts them anyways. We have a canon comic series that is... set entirely between Forces and Frontiers indefinitely and isn't allowed to make any status quo jumps and isn't written by Sonic Team. Both of the above are dubiously canon. Lovely!

Zavok

>>29984 Moot just copied 8chan, it wasn't that difficult. You can see his very eloquent important reasons for making 4chan here.

>>29991 2chan* oops

>>29990 What if zavok was in archie? What personality archie zavok would get?

>>29993 He was. In that stupid megaman crossover of all things.

>>29960 2017, on and off, I take long breaks because it takes up a lot of my time and mental energy and I also have other interests that take as much of my attention at other times. Like now this is nearly 4 months where I mostly just think about Sonic and /sthg/ or /fast/ all the time, reading these threads all day

>>29994 Really?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7UxwtkNSjI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwTgnIzBq_U

>>29991 >can't we just have one English chan like it used to be? Looks like monopolization was always the goal of 4chan >WT Snacks That's the guy I was thinking of, couldn't remember the name. I was looking for the thing I remember but instead I found this https://nitter.poast.org/drwdal/status/755241850315890688 https://nitter.poast.org/MidnightSnacks/status/755244232445685760 >yeah, no one gets paid even today, except the programmers (that sure changed since I was the programmer!) lol https://nitter.poast.org/MidnightSnacks/status/1801044485171806719 >99% of wordfilters 2004-2005 were my doing (as was most site-fuckery like themes, music embeds, etc), since only folks with access to the code could implement such things. If this is true I don't think moot did anything after setting up the site, they just hired various programmers over the years. I suppose Hiroyuki didn't even bother doing that

what would sonic think of pope francis dying

>>30003 He would think that's way past cool.

>>30003 Who do you think killed him?

Go to sleep anon. /fast/ will be here when you wake up, unlike 4chan

>>30006 Sonic would never do that

>>30003 >The bishop of Rome died on the second day of Easter There can be only one qualified replacement.

>>30007 But I woke up like 2 hours ago

I'm almost certain that a >100k Youtuber visits /sthg/

>>30012 I'm sure multiple at the very least check 4chan to some extent. Who are you thinking of?

>>30014 https://youtu.be/pTor2RZx-4Y?t=133 The way he said a la Kyle Reese is the main clue, because I have seen that wording only here and multiple times.

5 seconds of sonic

>>30016 is that what emi jones got

>>29822 (29022) I hate this post because it makes me feel like I don't love my waifu enough to ever write longwinded posts about her like this.

>>30018 You think you love a character and then there's Minafag.

>>30019 >>30018 For me The problem is that my brain is kind of slow and bad at making connections, and is very concrete so I wouldn't be able to understand people or characters on that level. I just see characters talk about stuff and then assign a few mental traits to them.

>>30018 I've made hundreds of posts just like that about my Sonic husbando. You just gotta be in the proper mood, don't force it.

>>30022 And have a baseline understanding of human behavior and be willing to gain it if you don't have it

i don't understand sonic as much as i thought i did

>>30015 I still haven't seen movie 3...

>>30025 It's out on Blu-ray now, mine should be delivered today. You should watch it if only for how sexy Shadow is the few minutes he's on screen

whisper... your breakfast is ready

>>29845 (29022) Yea but i dnt have the balls to draw myself on wbs or whatever so i have an oc self insert for that >>29830 (29022) I was on the verge of falling asleep and phoneposting sry lool. Gooodmornign

hmmmmmm shado

SHADOO DAH EDGEWHO?

>>29956 Why does She always dress like this instead of dressing regal and wearing a crown

>>30034 Preboot Sally simply refuses to dress properly or even wear an outfit that would remotely cover her naughty bits.

Over the past year or so I've been seeing more and more people say 4chan has become much less popular over the past few years and lost relevance, even before the hack. I wonder why that is.

car

>>30040 The election bumped activity significantly. We're just returning to how it was. 4chan has kind of leaked into mainstream platforms like X, the main appeal of 4chan is being able to say things you wouldn't be able to say elsewhere, but cancel culture and censorship has kind of lost its grip in the past couple years. 4chan used to be considered kind of like the bridge between the surface web and the dark web, but it's become pretty normie now. You can bet that the userbase will take another hit after the site comes back online. https://4stats.io/

>>30041 ca

>>30044 I guess that makes sense >You can bet that the userbase will take another hit after the site comes back online. I would be okay with this. There are a bunch of posters who had good discussions on 4/sthg/ and I hope they come here and help us keep this board going. I would also be glad if other 4chan users keep going to different websites like in the past few days

>>29978 >her canon personality She’s a cut character from a spinoff title based off of a completely different character from a separate franchise. She has no canon personality.

>>30047 I'm wondering personally if all the bullshit captchas and waiting times might have been purposely trying to drive people away to lessen server costs.

>>30052 I need him to impregnate me

I will make fun of "Sonic needs its own board" faggots for as long as /sthg/ exists. You couldn't regroup during 4chan's April Fools AND you can only keep one thread active when forced to /fast/.

>>29941 (29022) >>29954 (29022) Good posts >>29945 (29022) >at this point >have become >nowadays It always was like this. I've concluded that the only way to get satisfying discussions is to find someone who you naturally connect to. I think the unique ways we think interact with the unique thinking ways of others in certain ways and there's a level of communication that is just impossible if you don't have that inherent mental connection. You need to find someone with your same "brand of autism", then you can have satisfying conversations, otherwise it will always feel incomplete to some extent

>>30058 We are active right now. More active than most of 4chan's board ever were.

>>30058 >You couldn't regroup during 4chan's April Fools You're still trying this retarded angle? Most people just called it quits for the day.

>>30060 >>30061 Even without April Fools you can't keep anything but this singular thread active when given an entire board. The shipping thread's dead, the characterfag threads are dead, even the AIslop thread is dead. You refuse to post in threads other than the main one and then you'll ask for an entire board to yourself. You don't deserve it.

>>30051 I never had a problem with the new captchas, much better than the Google garbage they forced for years, I always hated those. And I never had to deal with the wait times since I always had the site open. I guess it drives away people who don't have the patience to keep it open or figure out how it works, which is good if you ask me >trying to drive people away to lessen server costs Well then I hope they're fine with people deciding to stay here or on other websites if that happens lol

>>30058 >>30063 What was the April Fools joke? I forgot.

>>30063 I've been posting in multiple threads though >the characterfag threads The Shadow and Amy threads are doing well. I put some effort in my posts for the Tails thread and I know it will be a success if other Tailsfags show up >>30066 Musk doge parody, they closed most boards so everyone was "forced" to use shitpost boards like /b/, /r9k/ and s4s for a few hours. It was pretty lame and people just posted garbage all over the site

>>30070 ...oh right. No wonder I forgot, I memoryholed it.

>>29934 (OP) Finally a nice, properly formatted and updated OP. >>29960 Holy shit, most people are newfags so far. I was on The Ride, anons may not even know what that is anymore. I wonder if TC is still around, though I'm not sure if I want to know. How many of you had heard of /fast/ before this?

>>30071 I forgot most of 4chan's April fools jokes. I guess the one where they made the site look like Google+ after mood started working for Google was funny

>>30072 I've been around /sthg/ since 2017 and I knew of /fast/ but I don't think I ever posted before since I didn't see a point

>>30070 >I've been posting in multiple threads though Who the fuck gives a shit? You're not special. The threads are still dead even with your avatarshittery.

You have your containment thread tailspedo, maybe you should go there!

>>29960 I'm from 2017, pre-Mania/Forces. This place was still an Archie circlejerk. >>30072 TC is comfy in his locked discord, demodding people on the booru who actually visit the general.

>>30077 >TC is comfy in his locked discord, demodding people on the booru who actually visit the general. I choose not to believe it and I knew I shouldn't have asked.

>>29960 The first time I checked out /sthg/ was 2018 but I left pretty fast and didn't come back and start regularly posting until 2020.

What's our backup if 8chan dies btw? 8kun, sharty, or xyzchan...?

>>30081 kun

>>30081 If 8chan dies i'm going outside.

>>30072 Some threads in the catalog from 2017-8 are mine. Knew of /fast/ since forever

Here are some more cute Tails pics! >>30077 I remember posting in /sthg/ when Mania released so I started going there around the same time as well. I also know I checked the threads sometimes around 2015/2016 but I didn't stick around because it was alienating to me since it was mostly about Archie and Boom and I wasn't very familiar with those, especially Archie. I kinda want to watch more episodes of the Boom cartoon though, I remember liking some, especially some that focused on Tails were cute. And yeah even in 2017 it was still mostly Archie, but Mania and Forces is basically what brought us game fans there and we essentially took over

>grown ups (my age) >doing grown up things like worry about relationships and kids >dull and boring shit >they just abandoned the kid at their heart and decided to be boring grown ups makes me feel sick.

>>30085 Keep posting tails, at least you talk about shit

Shadria!

>4chan is kill >admins and jannies doxxed >/vg/ hit >"Blake Adickman" I can't believe after all these years it was finally confirmed that Slashy was a jannie. That explains why certain namefags were always getting brought up and why you'd catch a three day vacation if you said anything negative about Slashy. Can't say I'm surprised but I am certainly entertained.

>>30091 Really? lol

>>30089 Touch Shadow without consent Rub his chest fur without consent Pull Shadow's tail without consent

>>30091 https://wiki.soyjak.st/Great_Cuckset#Doxes%F0%9F%97%9D Lies

>>30092 /Vg/ got outed at having the worst case of jannie bias and mod abuse out of all the boards. Almost every jannie turned out to be a known shitter namefag from several of the more active and notorious threads. I recognized Slashy's name from the Microsoft news article talking about how he was hired through their neurodivergent outreach program. Next time you see Slashy bragging about his big money job at Microsoft, remember that he only got hired to fill their retard quota lol

>>30096 >Immediately replies Slashy...

>>30005 >>30006

>>30094 Women must be stopped.

>>30098 Go make a drama thread fag >>30100 If Gerald didn't want Shadow to be molested why did he make him so cute

>>30101 >Pretending /sthg/ hasn't always been a drama thread Don't fall off your soap box or you might get hurt

>>29960 2009. We're all newfags anon. There aren't any oldfags who browsed 4/sthg/.

Atarix Knuckles is superior to all other versions of Knuckles

>>29960 I've heard of /sthg/ but haven't properly shown myself there until like a couple years ago so I'm more of a newfag on /fast/. I vividly remember showing up for Sonic 2 movie and lurked the threads and said some stuff here n there.

MIIINAAAAAAA

>>30059 Thank you anon , true words of wisdom .But even if such a thing has been and always will be present i can't deny that it is bothersome when every person i've ended up meeting is some flavor of this (bad luck on my side really), but at the end of the day that's also an issue on my part for letting myself be bothered by these kinds of things . Hard containing that sonictism rage

>>30077 >This place was still an Archie circlejerk Take me back to those better times.

>>30107 is not canon and will never be canon.

>>29960 Lurked on and off since 2020, started posting late 2024

>>30103 >2009 >/sthg/ Was there an (unsuccessful?) pre-ride /sthg/?

>>29960 started posting around late 2019/2020, so i guess im a newfag

All I know about Devil May Cry is the Devil Trigger song and that they had a controversial game, so I don't have context to any of these conversations that I'm reading, yet I understand what they're feeling, especially when someone tells them "it's not that big of a deal, it's just a different interpretation" and things like that. Feels very familiar

>>30067 >This place will become a graveyard once 4chan gets fixed. >At least now we know who the posters are that never liked /sthg/ and are willing to impose arbitrary Reddit rules to kill what makes /sthg/ fun. you're just assmad you can't rile anons up with your drama spam anymore. It's honestly sad how obsessed you are about this, enough so that after 4chan got nuke you had to come crawling here to try and pull the same shit like you did on /sthg/

>>30114 2009 was when I started using 4chan. I thought that post meant oldfag to 4chan as a whole. What's considered an oldfag to /sthg/?

>>30118 Oh I see. Probably the early Archie storytime threads in like 2014

>>30119 Yeah so I'm a newfag I joined around 2018 - 2019.

>>30114 I think there was, when /co/ did their own storytime of the comics (The Marathon?).

>>30117 Nevermind the fact that even if 4chan does come back and we all migrate back to /sthg/ we’ll instantly be able to tell if it’s him or not.

>>30111 canon sucks and is boring anyways

>>30029 >Yea but i dnt have the balls to draw myself on wbs or whatever so i have an oc self insert for that fair enough

Feel like its really hard to call yourself an oldfag under any circumcstance because of how little people are willing to just let you have that title. You coulc be on 4chan since 2005 and there'd still be atleast one guy going "You think you're an oldfag? Pffft", so I'd say if you joined at any time that wasn't the general's or even the site's creation, you are, and always will be, a newfag no matter how old you get lol

>>30067 i never got banned for on-topic posting on 4/sthg/. its just that nobody wants to engage in it.

>>30125 >2003 You're an Original Fag >2004 - 2006 You're an Old Fag >2007 and onwards You're a Newfag

>Last 10 posts were in this thread "/sthg/ needs it own board!" hahahahaha

>>30111 She's also not legally a Sonic character because SEGA doesn't own her.

>>30128 If we had all of our members here, then we could handle our own board. You'll see.

>>30131 This pedoskunk is kinda hot

>>30133 >members They are anons, and this general is nowhere close to what it used to be. Nobody else is coming because there are far better friendly Sonic communities. Sthg had its novelty.

Not every Sonicfag on 4chan posted in /sthg/. A good chunk of them are /v/ dwellers.

>>30131 Boyposting time?

>>30139 Go make a thread for gay posting.

>>30131 >>30139 Daiperfaggot rapefugees should have stayed lost in limbo 2Baiche.

Don’t you have anything better to do with your time, duofag?

As a matter of fact, this general is pointless because there isn't any incentive to post in other threads.

>>30146 We don't have the numbers to spread out to other threads. That's why /sthg/ is needed, to keep us together.

>>30147 Yes, I miss everyone.

>>30148 Even me?

>>30140 This gatekeeping of a general thread is obnoxious as fuck, janny-sama can you do something about the constant redirection every time someone posts something anon doesn't like? Honestly, this general itself should be deleted if everything Sonic-related has to go in threads dedicated to the topic. Don't post Shadow, there's a Shadow thread up. Don't post ships, there's a shipping thread up. Don't post Tails, there's a Tails thread up. Don't post about gameplay, there's a gameplay thread up. Following the logic all we have left is this dumb meta talk and shitflinging over what goes where and namefaggot drama.

>>30151 Go to the meta thread

>>30151 The spammer is generally the one that posts those redirections, I think he has some fetish for telling people what to do as that's almost all he does and fights for. Either way, the question about what should be mandated to be posted in a different thread is a good one and it may be a good idea to discuss it in the meta thread.

>>30183 A bunch of other posters who post the same thing every thread didn't either. Like that guy who posts good night with a Sonic and Tails pic and some music. I know he was an actual poster in 2020 but even before this I sometimes wondered if some of these guys just setup a bot and forgot. I know for sure someone was using a bot to post the same thing every thread but recently it was brought up in a discussion and he disabled it so at least that guy was still reading the threads

>>30184 Ritualposters setting up a bot is cheating.

>>30187 True

>>30175 >one second scene Misconstruing the argument as usual. Typical of halflidshitters. Shadow's gaze is supposed to be SHARP and IMPOSING and ALERT instead of SOFT and MEEK and LAZY.

>>30187 I don't remember many instances of other anthro animals in Sonic X. I mainly remember all humans.

>>30192 >one second It took from 00:32 to 00:34 and from 00:37 to 00:39 in the cutscene. Shadow was half lid in that time span >muh fan art looks ooc if a piece of fanart bothers me. I scroll past it and never bother to look at it again

>>30193 Because that's from the introduction pilot thingie

>>30196 >if a piece of fanart bothers me. I scroll past it and never bother to look at it again Fanartists are literally working on the official content now dude, and they're INFECTING the official material with their halflidshit. When you don't gatekeep wildly OOC fanart interpretations you get IDW Silver.

>>30200 >uwuver Silver did not have much official content to stand on. all the 3 games that feature him are obscure. and even in those he didn't have much of a character arc. his usage in the fandom today is 99% shipping. That's not the case for Shadow. he had a strong debut. a good enough sequel. a decent solo spinoff despite the blackpilling. He stands his place strong so I'm not worried the slightest. no amount of bastardization is ever gonna make it. if official content does something you don't like. just denounce it. until the next gen of fans arrive at sega in 15 years or so

>>30200 Silver has been shit since day one so who honestly fucking cares?

>I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Why is it so hard for westerners to write this line?

>>30208 The five male Silver fans who aren't gay for him or treat him as living self-insert man-meat that lives to have sex

>>30213 Ian rewrote "guy who loves adventure" to "hedgehog who loves adventure" to use gender-neutral language

>>30200 >When you don't gatekeep wildly OOC fanart interpretations you get IDW Silver. It's impossible to make Silver in-character because he has no character.

>>29960 2018

>>30222 He's rude and determined and likes peace and the sky or something

>>30044 Any good media discussions on the dark web?

>>30225 but that's just knuckles

>>30225 >determined I get the idea behind it for Silver and his ruined future but this easily applies to any major character as they would need to be in order to go on adventures and fight

>>30225 Silver has never been rude. Meds.

wtf even goes on in here?

>Rude That's like 80% of the male cast >Determined Literally every protag is this >Likes peace Who doesn't? Sonic is a franchise of cartoon animal men either doing the dreamworks smirk and acting like a spazz or broody guy with his arms crossed and thinking.

>>30072 The most recent ride was such a travesty. Threads were full of schizos and the most annoying faggots ever. Then they refused to stop and kept the threads going with terrible gay deviantart comics which caused those threads to be purged forever. It used to be such a comfy time but turned into pure cancer because a handful of trannies refused to let the party end.

>>30237 Storage maybe

>>30237 Dog house for all the stinky canines.

>>30235 >Bumblekast *Taps the sign

Characterization matters. It depends a lot on how much people like it. If Sally suddenly started acting ooc or say Whisper did, the people who want looser vision for characterization would suddenly understand what JPN fans mean by this. The thing is that many JPN fans don't care about characters outside of the games cast, so this thing isn't communicated properly between both sides. If you develop an attachment to these characters, you want to see them portrayed in the way you feel is right this is pretty common.

>>30237 The cats are causing mischief.

A while back I found a scanned recording script of Heroes. It has notes on various plot points and emotions. When Rouge shows concern for Shadow because he looks blank after a traumatic event, Shadow says they should get moving and acts "as if nothing had happened" according to the notes. He barely even acknowledges the concern sent his way, if he does at all. But his mind is swirling with confusion and questions and doubts. Here's a rough translation. >In one of the capsules lies a hedgehog with the exact same appearance as Shadow. >Rouge: Shadow… >Rouge calls Shadow’s name, at a loss for words. As if nothing had happened, Shadow turns on his heel and passes by Rouge. >Shadow: Let’s go. < >Rouge: (noticing Shadow next to her) What’s wrong? You look dazed. Did you remember anything? >Shadow: No…let’s hurry ahead. >Shadow runs off as if nothing had happened, and Rouge and Omega follow. >Shadow: (monologue) That blue hedgehog who looks like me…The Doctor said I have no memories…who am I…?

>>30250 Samefagging to add that people who want Shadow to emotionally and verbally express himself don't get him. Shadow will be silent with the same blank face as ever even when he's mentally spiraling. Torturing himself with questions he can't answer. He hyper-analyzes himself and past events a lot, and it's not shown to the viewer. Making Shadow vent his emotions with obvious facial expressions is super gay and ooc.

>>30246 >Characterization matters. It depends a lot on how much people like it Even for characters I don't like, I will still fight for and support fans who think their character is being written terribly >image Speaking of, The Diamond Cutters are another victim of that, both internally from the writers and externally from the fanbase. But that's a discussion for another day and in the comics thread

>>30252 >duck syndrome He is just like me...

>>30246 it is still insane to me that archie was making the satam characters ooc all this time

>>30235 kek

well i thought a break would be good for me. But I got lonely and found my way here again.

But how does this all apply to the fact that I am pregnant with Shadow's hoglets right now

>>30256 You keep saying this, we get it.

>>30258 Welcome back

>>30260 He's not the only one, it mindbroke at least two people. I still can't believe he didn't write the Freedom Fighters right.

I realized i am probably the youngest newfag who started in late 2024, so now you're all my grandpas and grandmas. And despite this i am old enough to remember 8ch so i know how to format in REDTEXT AND OMG IT'S HAPPENING GUYS THE WORLD IS IMPLODING WORLD WAR 3 IS NEAR WE'RE GETTING DEPLATFORMED 4CUCK IS GONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>30263 Cute pic!!

>>30262 I don't like Ian either but complaining about him is starting to get old imo. Everyone "loves" (I say in quotes because knowing the fandom, they'll turn on it once it's taken seriously) Fleetway despite being OOC for a majority of the cast, why is it a problem for archie? and for characters that ST themselves don't care about.

>>30184 Oh I'm here, I just didn't feel like posting. And I have not once used bots.

>>30266 Oh I'm sorry then <3

Look at this POTATO and his PEAR shaped body.

>>30265 I don't want to say I dislike Ian's writing (I do dislike his podcast/Twitter answers at least) because I'm unfamiliar with the vast majority of his work but yeah I agree, and honestly a lot of this (as well as the praise, looking back) feels kinda forced

>>30265 Ian's work is just okay if you don't care about it being OOC, an improvement over Penders/Pontaff. Ian's work is abysmal if you truly and deeply care for the character(s) and the intent behind them.

>>30268 Best boy!!!

>>30267 no problem, this place seems chill enough to post something else as well.

>>30262 The Archie version of the cast never acted the same S the SatAM variants.

>>30271 FOXes

need a cheetah character

btw yes, i'm done with foxes, you can post now. Don't tell me i killed the thread again...

>>30277 There was a cheetah npc in archie. who was just a cheetos ripoff

>>30279 woah no way Chester Cheetah!

>>30279 reminded me of the time Yakko Warner was in Archie

>>30278 We killed 4chan with 3 and a half months of constant, daily foxboyposting. Yay!

eating a sandwich it good

>>30283 nice fucking blog faggot *beats you up*

>>30263 I should be cringing at the way you posted this, but I can't help but to feel a sense of nostalgia on how fangirls text in Tumblr and fuckin Twitter and mutual appreciation of 4cuck's implosion. I'm getting old

>>30279 >>30281 Archie loved these dumb little cameos.

>>30243 stinky sexy canines

>>30284 x_x

>>30246 IDWfags got a taste of it in Speed Battle. What they need is more of it. If Lanolin starts acting super nice and cheery they'll get it because the Lanolin they like is the messy drama bitch.

>>30285 Nah bro you're right, we need more of that. Show the world your excitement and your appreciation for the things you like >>30290 "Whisper is Whisper" was funny

>>30282 I was actually surprised because i didn't engaged as much as that guy who constantly uploaded the same tails pics. Tails buckbroke 4chan, shadally raped it, sonurge gave the final blow and my Fiona watched it all in amusement.

>>30279 Holy shit Mania reference!

>>30287 ...Servo from MST3K?

>>30292 >Fiona watched it all in amusement. Fiona is absolutely a shitposter.

>>30265 I haven't played SxSG yet so I can't comment on that. But I did play Frontiers/Another Story for the first time earlier this year and it was rough to sit through. I wanted to 100% it so I went for every character interaction across all islands and I was disappointed every single time. Two criticisms I have of Frontier's writing: >Lots of talking and lots of explaining and lots of references but with no substance behind any of it >character personalities are seriously lacking, most lines of dialogue feel interchangeable across the cast Maybe this is a result of coming from the comics industry but Ian seems adamant on explaining absolutely everything, even stuff nobody cares or asked about. I remember listening to Eggman or Sage mumble for minutes on end over the Death Egg Robot's console and I just had to ask myself, who fucking cares? Did some autist tweet him about it after launch and he couldn't let it go? Why is my time being wasted on this shit? There's a total lack of brevity and succinctness in Frontiers. I just find Ian frustrating. He obviously knows a ton about Sonic, which is obviously preferable to Pontaff's lack of interest, but his actual writing is just...bad.

>>30295 Yep, and Crow too.

>>30292 We often posted new pics besides a few we particularly liked, but by March we had run out of pics. I can tell you this for sure because in January and February I kept saving new pics, but not in March. If you look through the archives you can even see us complain about it ourselves lol. Anyways I hope the other Tails poster makes his way here too, I was already missing him even before all of this happened. I'm glad you and others keep coming here, I guess more and more people are getting tired of waiting for 4chinz to come back >>30297 I can't tell if you know this already but I'll point it out just in case, the one to one character interactions in update 3 weren't written by Ian at all, he claims no credit for them, apparently they were written by someone at Sonic Team (we don't know who). I think that one Sage and Amy scene is the worst in the game and I was ready to blame Ian for it, but it actually came from Sonic Team which makes it even more concerning. A positive look at it is that it's apparently trying to tease some cool lore build up thing, presumably for a later game, but the dialogue that leads up to it is distracting

>>30268 >>30271 would rape

>>30297 >He obviously knows a ton about Sonic Nitpicking this statement, there are some extremely obvious surface-level things Ian has gotten wrong. "Silver has never been rude", "Chaos Control does not warp things". He didn't even know Maria's explanation for Shadow's name until midway through writing SxSG and he seemed to forget Sticks was in Runners. Maybe he does know some obscure facts, but he fails at understanding things in a broad sense. I almost think he has autism with the way he needs to spell everything out and explain "why". His work doesn't have any real themes to them.

Someone put it nicely once. Ian writes the games like he's writing a comic.

>>30302 >Maria's explanation for Shadow's name Unrelated but Shadow Generations somehow reconciles the two explanations, right? That's something that has bothered me since the comic came out (as much as I like it), but I was also surprised to learn that Toyoda always knew the original explanation was different

>>30297 My point wasn't focused on Ian specifically, more that complaining an oc wasn't like her cartoon counterpart is hypocritical when people give a pass to other continuities being OOC for actual characters. Why is it worth bringing up constantly?

IDW will improve when the writing team changes. Mark these words.

>>30297 Small correction. Ian knows a ton about ARCHIE Sonic. He’s never cared about the game continuity.

>>30297 >>30307 (cont) And as for your point about him being a bad writer (and really most of the writers), yeah I agree. Genuinely makes me wonder what if we got some savant genius writer who went off the script, whether this fandom would accept characters being wildly off track from their "canon" depictions.

>>30308 Given how low IDW pays, I doubt it.

>>30311 They hate their Writers.

>>30310 I think it would have been accepted and well received in the early or even mid 2010s, but at this point we're so broken that we need IC writing more than we need good writing

>>30299 I miss AIbro although he wasn't very liked by some.

>>30312 Why would IDW respect their workers when their workers don't even respect themselves?

>>30290 Was Whisper even OOC in Speed Simulator (I'm assuming this is what you were actually referring to)? All I recall is she didn't mention Tangle and was sad about her Wisps which is more along after her fight with Surge, ignoring her time spent with Tangle. If Lanolin were to ever appear officially in anything, she would likely be somewhere between her debut issue and Evan's writing. Basically, Sega will force the character to behave how they're written but not with any of the story arcs or team ups in mind

>>30299 >We often posted new pics besides a few we particularly liked, but by March we had run out of pics I have thousands of pictures of my favorite character. Don't be lazy, save new fanart.

>>30302 I had an iffy feeling about Ian, but those tweets sums up mostly why I don't really fuck with him as a writer especially with these gaffs and dismissing valid criticism. It's weird on how these flaws are oddly less apparent when he wrote for Frontiers, it looks like SEGA had him on a restraint with Sonic Team on his neck but he should be adapting to Sonic and not the other way around.

Tailsbro this is WHY we have containment threads.

>>30320 >we have containment threads We don't though But yeah we should Tailspost more in the Tails thread as well

>>30318 2nd pic is prime rapebait.

>>30322 Stopppppp! Tails is for love!

>>30323 I can still love Tails as I'm raping him.

>>30321 I don’t really mind since you’re usually one of the posters who can stay on topic but yeah

>>30320 >go in the containment thread <no >go in the containment thread <no >GET IN THERE NOW YOU LITTLE... <NO! >NGGGGGHHGGGAAAVSVSVSVSVKDKDNBRNDV

You will die as a foxcel

why are shadowyumes so much sexier and cuter and better than tailspedos?

Rule 34 is canon

>>30302 Penders noticeably tries hard to put meaningful themes into his stories. They don't often fit in Sonic that much and often he took on more than he could actually write effectively. But he was an ambitious writer, but in a different way than Ian Flynn. I don't know for sure, but Ian Flynn's work kind of does have themes depending on what stuff you like at. Neo Metal Sonic arc 1-12 of IDW, had no themes besides good vs evil. King Naugus arc in Archie for example had a theme: the fragility of democracy and how fear among people can drive people to rally around a tyrant when they're scared. Either that or Naugus became king to amp up stakes, and people acting ooc to make it happen. Maybe there's more thematic throughline stuff in his work. Let me guess at themes: IDW's themes for a while was about how far you go and how you apply the philosophy of Freedom, and whether huge villains deserve second chances. It's not a very good one because it crumbles under thinking about it too deeply though. It's also pretty easy to glean from the story because Ian's writing style explains a lot of stuff to be simpler to understand I feel with this contrast to Penders that Ian has better writing but is significantly not trying to impart messages the way that Penders and Japanese writers do. In that way Penders despite hes lack of talent is more like Yoshimura than Flynn

>>30328 There's only one shadowyume here

>>30330 >Penders is more like Yoshimura than Flynn That's kind of a scary sentence lol

How did Sonic 3 get away with using so much AIslop?

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1914307361692385716 “Paramount is eyeing to develop ‘SONIC’ spin-off films.”

>>30334 Cvz they did that with Knuckles and no one complained

Here's the base Shadow model they used for Movie 3. The fur is rendered afterwards. Now it makes more sense why Movie Shadow looks odd in SxSG and Speed Battle, the movie models need super detailed fur texture in order to look good and consoles/devices can't handle that level of detail.

>>30339 Still a nice base model, though the brow furrowing is a bit extreme.

>>30339 He’s going to have forehead wrinkles by the time he’s twenty

>>30340 Well it renders like this

>>30342 moviedow looks so darn grimy

>>30342 It’s the best Shadow has looked in decades.

>>30339 Do you have any images or videos of the rig?

>>30345 Unfortunately no

>>30334 AI haters are okay when major corporations use it. It's when random a individual with no money uses it that they start harassing people and pretend to care about whatever

>>30335 Knuckles and Shadow should get their own film(s) and not be in Sonic 4 to reduce Character Bloat.

>>30354 >The guaranteed money makers shouldn't be in the film lolz. Ready for the Sonadamy love triangle?

>>30335 After movie 1 came out they said they were going to do a Robotnik spinoff and then they never talked about it again. I don't take these claims and interviews seriously if something isn't actually announced

>>30356 Shadow won't appear in Sonic 4 At most he will job to Metal

>>30360 >At most he will job to Metal This can only occur in a fanfic. if this happened unironically, the movies will get universal shitting

The best post-credit scene will be the one that introduces Sonic and exposes Movienic as the impostor he's always been

>>30362 Are you referring to the certain ongoing comic book series?

>>30365 Guess what happened afterwards

Guess what orange man did that to Shadow before

I'll main Crystal Zavuk in Rumble and nobody is gonna stop me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg8TkMtf9es This video is really important to me.

>>30373 I’ll start playing if they add Black Rose.

>>30369 I can't wait for the Shadow one-shot. I get to add another jobbing to the collage.

They really should have gotten Tony Hawk to voice Jet

>>30384 I- why

>>30384 It's crazy that Chauvelz made this

coded

>>30385 Never leave your mouth open around a two tailed fox.

Sally abandoned Nicole at Robotropolis in SatAM's opening. this detail always messes with me whenever I see SatAM.

>>30391 what the hell is her problem

It's now been a full week since 4chan and /sthg/ got shut down. To the anons that made it here, how are you all holding up? are you doing okay?
