An AI is as good as its sources, and skimming through the domains from the posts, quite a few of those don’t seem like very reliable ones.

Doesn’t help the wheel doesn’t seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<
Also, I didn’t get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn’t find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

Alternatively, it could be a way to kill what people look up to by fatigue through fatigue and disappointment through less than ideal re-imaginings.

Short version I wrote for another news piece but that, to my understanding, should apply for this too:
The text is obtuse and the article’s title and cover are pretty clickbaity, so here’s a tl;dr: In the US, according to the article, it’s possible to lend multiple forms of digital medias and software as you’d do with physical medias. But when requested to extend this understanding to games too, the US Copyright Office denied the change.

Finished it! Found it to be much better than the first game indeed. ^_^

I’m playing the PC version of SMCP, and the only difference I can notice, maybe due to the better hardware, is that the game seems to be a bit faster on PC than on PS2. And have yet to test any of the other collections Sega made for/with the Sonic games.

Dunno how much you played of the franchise, but if you got stuck early on (e.g. the dreaded Marble Zone in the punishing first game), maybe you could abuse save states? The franchise got several emulated releases, and I imagine it’s not uncommon for them to allow such a function natively. And at least to me, Sonic 2 plays much better and I remember kid me finding Sonic 3 even sharper.

Blocking, yeah.

Putting the tone aside, I usually browse the All tab for that reason, and also because subscribing in Lemmy is weirder than it was on Kbin (even if it doesn’t crash the page like Kbin did). Nothing personal against the communities, and sure, it’s an exercise on patience, but after some time, the results become noticeable as my feed gets fine-tuned into what I want to see.

I think that, if you have the resources to support that niche, which the savings from cheap offers hopefully allowed for, and you want to see it grow, it’s worth paying more.
