PonyOfWar, do games w Why doesn't Sega care about Sonic?

Sonic is much less popular in Japan, where Sega is from, than in the west. So the Japanese management might not see Sonic as such an important franchise.

Makes sense that sonic isn’t as popular in japan since neither is christianity.

warmaster,

What does Sonic have to do with Christianity?

Go on your favorite search engine and look up christian sonic fanart. Have some bleach on hand in case your eyes need it.

SonOfAntenora,

I like the classic sonic games but I never interact with the fandom for a reason. I think I’m going to skip this but thank you all the same.

glimse,

I see someone’s never read Luke 3:12

Sonic is obviously an allegory for the tax collector who gets baptized. Dummy.

And no I did not just pick a random bible verse and justify it. My uncle is friends with Hideo Kojima, the CEO of Sega

RightHandOfIkaros,

It’s this. Japanese businesses almost always only truly care about the Japanese market. If something does well in foreign countries but does poorly in Japan, it can be expected that product will never be made again, or changes will be made to attempt to make it sell more in Japan, even if that means alienating the rest of the foreign market that already liked the way it was.

Out of curiosity, I checked e6. Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard have 3.3k, 3.2k and 11k tagged images, respectively.

E6? Is that some kind of den of filth? Tell me the address so I can be sure to never go there!

The place’s name is e621, ends with .net, like the Microsoft thingy. Truly a den of debauchery that you should never visit. Quick, add it to all your blocklists!!

You didn’t realize it yet, but you have been saavvveeeeddddd by these wonnerful deee-sigh-pulls of Jesus! Can I get an “AMEN,” brothers & sisters?!?

I just want to jack off to video games and feel bad about it after. Why is the world intent on interfering with my tear jerking???

Mordikan,

So what you're saying is we need a religious themed sex game? I think I follow. You have to fight your way through the 12 apostles and then you and Jesus bang. Its like Mortal Kombat, but with sandals and a lot of baby oil.

SanctimoniousApe,

That’d mean Jesus was at least bi, if not outright gay. Hmm… might just test the waters with him in order to watch MAGAts completely lose their shit…

ZoopZeZoop,

Middle evos tend to be…lackluster. The ones that are just upgrades from the basic, a-b-c like Starters and the Generational Bug. Exceptions like Haunter, Dragonair, exist where the middle evolution stands out from the final form. Last major category is have unique in all 3, because an evo was added later, like Golbat to Crobat and Rhydon to Rhyperior.

The oddest one out is ones where people prefer stage OVER the basic, until the evo. These are like Gothorita, Lampent, and Hattrem.

Pikachu exists like Magmar, and I would say is in the same camp as Golbat where a Baby was added later so the pokemons design stands on its own.

Pre-evo baby pokemon generally do not count towards these because half of everyone forgets them (other than pichu) - they tend to just be Dex filler you forget exists in a box in the games. I don’t think they even print baby pokemon in the cards anymore because how non-necessary they are

EncryptKeeper, do games w Would you considering watching playthroughs of a game the same as playing that game?

Depends on the game. For very linear narrative heavier games that are glorified visual novels, like SOMA for example, yeah probably.

For most games though no not at all.

swordgeek, do games w Would you considering watching playthroughs of a game the same as playing that game?

Utterly not.

No. Watching a playthrough is completely passive vs. playing through, interactive. Doing the actual playing through will light up distinct brain regions that passive consumption doesn’t.

Is watching a football game the same as playing a foodball game?

It will be a completely different experience - but as long as you enjoy it… who cares? You do what brings you joy.

Watching a game be played is like listening to someone read you the script of a movie imo.

No.

This explains why I can’t buy games right now. I tried to use PayPal and it failed but now my account seems to be blocked from any purchase. Not even direct card. When I asked support they demanded a screenshot of my cart.

Dude, Gabe, I just want to play outer wilds. There’s no tits, let alone incest in Outer wilds. I’ve never bought a porn game in my life. Why am I being punished for a billionaire company’s moral panic?

New market opportunity! Steam has been banned from participating, meaning even a crappy quality platform can now compete. Though, payment processing will be the hitch, I would guess…
