I know I've successfully made my own bubble away from the Sonic fandom because my view of this game is so warped, dude. I saw this and was like, "It's my favorite game of the 2020s so far, who says it's bad???"
Cybershell is a true master, great work as always!

I choose to believe that the only reason fans gas up Sonic 06 as a good game is because they weren't there when there was so much hype building up before release, which only made the release of the game all the more disappointing. Hindsight is always 20/20.
some sonic fans will really be like "06 couldve been good if it had more development time to execute on its ideas and potential" and in the same breath say the worst sonic game is sonic forces

Seeing it this way is the most fun & interesting to me, but it's just my perspective! :)
Classic is: Origins -> Generations -> Mania -> Forces -> Superstars
Modern is: Origins (but with eye colors and other alt. universe deviations) -> Adventure -> etc etc -> Gens -> Forces -> Frontiers

Chaotix happens in the Classic universe, but in the "Adventure" universe, Metal Sonic stays on Little Planet until Sonic 4, and nobody meets the Chaotix (minus Mighty) until Heroes.
And they are *completely* different characters in each version, Charmy especially.

I was once a child on the internet. Of *course* there are things I wouldn't put in a video. Not even because I'm embarrassed at this point, I know I'm not the same person I was back then, that would be INSANE, but just because kids are still figuring things out and I've gotta give myself grace.

Fortunately for me, these things are almost entirely related to me being an obnoxious, hormonal, melodramatic teenager who was still learning how relationships (romantic and otherwise) actually operated, and NOT so much about my video game opinions, which I never mind sharing.

All versions of Dr. Robotnik, King K. Rool, Cell, Agent Smith, Edge (from off of mid-2000s-era WWE), Q if he counts as one, and the most despicable villain in the history of fiction, Eric Sparrow. #AskTGC
Who are some of your favourite villains? Either in gaming or general media?

I was reincarnated as him one time! #AskTGC
Actually for some reason I was kind of fascinated with him as a kid. I'd only watched the Cell arc, so I think he was compelling as this guy who was - compared to everyone else - just *a guy* by that point.

I like October the best. But I also love snow, and April/May are great too! The only thing I really don't like is the peak of summer, ESPECIALLY if it's humid.

I'm proud of this one, ngl. That said, my plan now is to make it to a year of doing this every day (Feb 9, 2026), then drop it back down to just 3-4 times a week. But this year? I needed this.

Before ya pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby but I'm showin' you that door
I GOTTA HAVE FAITH~!

You can tell everything you need to know about a Star Wars movie ranking by what they put for #3. The tone of the entire list is decided by that specific spot.

More wrestling podcasts and YouTube need to cover the period after the 90s wrestling boom was over and wrestling wasn't cool anymore, but before John Cena became the face of the company, ie the nadir of the industry.
Yes this was the peak of my fandom of course it was "off trend" is my personality

I like Star Allies (and actually every other 2D game) a *lot* more than Forgotten Land. That's gotta be it.
Also Super Star Ultra is still far and away the best game in the series, but I don't *think* that's especially a hot take? Wasn't the last time I checked, anyway. xD

Content that I didn't get to *choose* has always felt like poison to my brain chemistry. Like it almost physically hurts to try to MAKE myself spend time on TikTok. I grew up on the internet, and being in the driver's seat, getting to control what you engaged with, was SO core to the appeal.
