To be fair, I hold the somewhat controversial opinion Sonic has always been better as a TV Show or Comic than as an actual video game franchise. I feel like the Sonic TV Shows always usually are good.

Even the worst ones, like Sonic X, still end up having an amazing third season that redeem the rest of the show.

Theres a reason Cosmo still gets referenced here and there all these years later.

Ah sonic the hedgehog… My beloved franchise, long since brutally treated by both consumers and the company that owns them. For something that was at one point just as big as Mario, it’s crazy how much insane history and drama has happened to it. I hold out hope I’ll get to see the Sonic SatAM and Sonic the Comic cast again in something, but I highly doubt it. At least the IDW comics seem to be doing pretty well (although the fans get really weird and parasocial about Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley)

defold is really cool, the only downside is its really weird build system for native extensions

Me and my friends used to do this in middle school/high school with Google Docs.

We would share a Google Docs link with each other and use it to communicate, and then pretend we were doing homework

wasn't Caine written in common lisp? Pretty sure they show that the debugger they used in the command line was gdb (which ... is that even actually possible?)

CRUNCH is really cool, I helped make it work better on Windows (although it requires a bit of setup)

this REALLY reads like claude responded to this comment, so I really hope that I'm just mistaken and you just naturally talk like this

dumb question: is this javascript/typescript only? can you use webassembly based languages instead?

I’ve met a decent amount of lesbian vtuber fans so I don’t think this is necessarily true.

Yeah it really hit its peak with gen 1 of Hololive English I want to say, along with the explosion of indie vtubers on twitch and stuff that followed.

A lot of female content creators I followed online became vtubers. HikaruStation used to be a singer, but now she’s a whale Vtuber by the name of Bao.

AmaLee (of LeeAndLie) also got famous through anime song covers, but she’s mostly a vtuber now.

I think the current vtuber “market” is a lot harder to break into now than it used to be though.
