#granted. I don't like any of the men either except for this bitch

Can you list anything you unironically like in the games (and cartoons and comics) that you don't like?

I won't bother mentioning music, since that goes without saying and is to be expected for a Sonic game... unless you're Chronicles.

Sonic Adventure 2 (mixed gameplay-wise, annoying story-wise) - While I prefer Sonic's SA1 levels for a number of reasons, I still think his and Shadow's gameplay in SA2 is fun on its own merit. I also don't mind the treasure hunting gameplay returning or how big the levels are this time around, since Knuckles and Rouge are still fast and not '06 levels of slow. It's mainly the gimped radar that creates the unfortunate domino effect of making them a problem.

- Introduced Rouge, one of my favourite characters for how playful she is and how she's a lot more nuanced and intelligent than you'd expect.

- Some genuinely good scenes, like Eggman's trap on the A.R.K and Sonic escaping from the G.U.N. helicopter.

- Had some good ideas going for it, like the Pyramid Base and the Biolizard as a scientific monster instead of an ancient one.

- Despite my thoughts on the backstory itself (or rather, its execution), Shadow has enough depth and subtle qualities and occasional unintended hilarity to stand out from the typical dark rival characters you see in media.

- The Last Scene's music in particular is one of my favourite cutscene tracks in the series.

Sonic Heroes (mixed gameplay-wise, loathed story-wise) - The gameplay is fun when you're not being screwed over by repetitive combat, overly long levels and/or ice physics.

- Boasts some of the most consistently Genesis-worthy environments in the 3D games, up there with SA1's and Colours'.

- The in-game dialogue that isn't the same tutorial drivel repeated ad nauseam can be interesting, funny, etc.

- Reintroduced the Chaotix, which provided me with another character I quite like in the form of Vector.

- Bringing Metal Sonic back in full force and front and center in the plot after a long absence (not counting cameos and the like) is a perfectly fine idea. Just... not like this.

Sonic Battle (decent yet repetitive gameplay, mixed story-wise) - Emerl's arc is compelling, and it earns the emotional weight of having to put him down at the end.

- While some characters are iffy (read: Amy), other characters are extremely well-handled. Shadow is probably the prime example.

- Gamma's belly dance healing animation is fucking hilarious.

- When I was young, and the game was first announced, I was really excited about being able to play as Chaos. This proved to be my downfall when it turned out he was arguably one of the worst characters in the game due to being slower than me during the writing process, but I still recall that excitement fondly.

Shadow the Hedgehog (comedy classic) - The sheer amount of legendary stupidity this game has going for it makes it practically impossible to actually hate. It helps that it's not quite as white-knighted on the same level as '06... usually. You know you're in for a unique experience when you hear a gunshot every time you click something in the menu.

- By extension, Black Doom never gained an unironic fanbase like Mephiles/Scourge/Eggman Nega did, which means I'm a lot more willing to take Doom's dumbass brand of villainy in stride. He even has a unique design... a terrible one that rips off Wizeman granted, but alas, even that is a step-up from Fridge Shadow and Bumblebee Eggman.

- Despite being... well, Shadow the Hedgehog, some of the environments would fit right in with any other Sonic game, like with Circus Park, Lava Shelter, and Digital Circuit. Even the Black Comet levels look pretty cool.

- This game understands amnesia better than IDW does.

Sonic '06 (what do you think?) - The obvious one: Shadow's character was handled pretty well, even if it came at the cost of everyone else being a dummy and being forced to interact with Mephiles.

- Like SA2, there are some good moments, like the Last Story ending sequence with Sonic and Elise.

- In the greatest form of irony ever, I like Solaris as a concept and design(s), and its backstory has potential to serve as a parallel with Chaos without being a complete ripoff. Iblis sucks, Mephiles sucks, but I'm fine with Solaris.

- Introduced legendary characters like Sonic Man, Pele the Beloved Dog, Hatsun the Pigeon, and Pacha from The Emperor's New Groove.

The Rivals duology (apathetic outside of Nega-related grumbling) - There were some cool zone ideas in both games that were sadly let down by the restrictive and limiting gameplay. I particularly like Colosseum Highway for thus far being the only full-on Roman level in the series instead of merely having a couple minor hints of Roman, and Meteor Base for the unique scenario of the space station being built into an asteroid. These level concepts and others deserve a second chance IMO. (At least Frontier Canyon got a second chance in the form of Mirage Saloon, amirite?)

- Ifrit has a better design than Iblis. Not saying it's amazing, but the Firebird motif it has going on is a lot more interesting for a fire monster than the Not-Chaos schtick they had with Iblis.

Sonic and the Secret Rings (a very frustrating gaming experience) - Erazor Djinn, A.K.A. Qui-Gon Djinn, A.K.A. Dr. N. Djinn, A.K.A. I'll Take It On The Djinn, A.K.A. Not From The Hairs On My Djinny Djinn Djinn, is one of the best villains not associated with Eggman in the series. He's a Mephiles-type character done right, and there's actual weight and reason to his actions, however sinister or petty.

- I don't have strong opinions either way on Shahra as a character, but the Sonic/Shahra friendship is sweet and well-handled.

- The ending is one of Sonic's greatest moments. The sheer contrast between how ruthlessly he deals with Erazor and how comforting he is towards Shahra speaks volumes... Still gonna make fun of the mountain of handkerchiefs though. (Before anyone lectures me, I understand the significance of it and can even appreciate it from that angle... doesn't mean I'm not allowed to poke fun at it. :P)

- Another game with some redeeming environments. I love the aesthetic of Night Palace, and Sand Oasis looks gorgeous too.

Sonic Chronicles (my personal least favourite game in the series) - Uh...

- Um...

- Er...

- I like Shade's design?

Sonic Unleashed (overrated game and story IMO) - The obvious two: the opening sequence and the Egg Dragoon fight deserve all the praise they get.

- Seeing Eggmanland come to life was an impressive moment to be sure. While part of me does feel it didn't quite measure up to what I had in mind (ironically, the Interstellar Amusement Park ended up being closer to what I had in mind), it still looks badass and works well for what it is. I also don't mind the idea of it being a one-level gauntlet... key word being idea.

- Obviously, the game looks great. Not a fan of the real world focus (real world inspiration is fine, but copy-pasting the real world and shoving loops in it is just unimaginative), but it can't be denied that the environments look good.

- This game pulled off dialogue options a lot better than Chronicles did, since they didn't rely on making Sonic OoC.

Sonic and the Black Knight (just kind of boring all around) - Despite my gripes with the story (Merlina wasn't nearly as fleshed out as her unique anti-villain status deserved, which ends up severely undermining the ambition of the plot in more ways than one, and the other characters go from being useless yes men for King Arthur to being useless yes men for Sonic), I will admit it provides interesting insight into Sonic's character.

- Like '06 and Secret Rings, the ending is very nice... well, aside from Amy being an unreasonable bitch ala Sonic X at the very end.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (apathetic) - The admittedly few new concepts sprinkled within had promise. They may not have been as fleshed out as they could have been, but level concepts like Sylvania Castle and White Park, bosses like Egg Serpentleaf and the Egg Heart, and story beats like the Death Egg mk.II being powered by Little Planet, all could have been brilliant had they been better executed.

SatAM (apathetic outside of SatAM Robotnik-related grumbling) - I'm not a fan of the environments on the whole due to them looking too bland or samey, but there are some exceptions that look pleasant or interesting, like the Void.

Sonic Underground (apathetic) - The character designs make me feel better about myself.

- Does "large quantities of unintentional meme material" count as a positive?

Sonic X (mostly apathetic outside of Eggman's handling) - Helen was a better human character and audience surrogate in her one focus episode than Chris was throughout his entire runtime.

- Actually, most of the human characters not named Chris were legitimately likable. Including everyone in Chris' own family not named Chris. Hilarious.

- Despite arguably having the most Chris in it, I actually don't mind the first season that much, partly due to slight nostalgia from seeing it on TV when it was new, but mostly because Eggman actually acted like a villain for the most part, and certain other characters weren't quite as flanderized yet. It's season 2 and onwards where things started going off the rails IMO. (Incidentally, Helen's episode was part of season 1...)

The Boom franchise (apathetic) - Along with Chronicles, the games provide yet more proof that just because someone isn't SEGA/Sonic Team, that doesn't mean they're automatically more qualified to handle the series.

- The show had some good episodes here and there, and Tails' characterization was probably the most consistently on-point out of the cast.

- Despite not exactly being favourite portrayals for either character, even I'll admit that many of Knuckles and Eggman's lines in the show on their own were genuinely funny.

Archie Sonic (pre-reboot is mostly terrible, post-reboot is mostly... bland) - Whenever I doubt myself as a writer, I think back to Ken Penders, and suddenly I'm filled with a lot more confidence.

Sonic the Comic (apathetic) - Fleetway isn't a comic I tend to recall much of aside from how much of a loathesome cunt Sonic is, but IIRC, Robotnik's portrayal is pretty good. Different, but good.

IDW Sonic (stop pissing me off, comic) - Putting their handling aside (and being too obviously "inspired" by MGS in the latter's case), Tangle and Whisper are good characters IMO.

- Same goes for Starline, before he was killed off-screen and replaced with Toothpaste Snively.

- Execution aside (noticing a pattern?), the zombot virus was a fine concept on its own and an interesting new scheme for Eggman.

- I get to remind myself that I've never drawn scat edits and posted them publicly on Twitter.

Gives her his jacket to cover them nips and a keeps his hand held out like let's go] Buster: ['shut up & come on'] Rio: [disguise your heart eyes girl, just tryna be like yeah okay whatever, like anyone ever helps her like soz Nance and Junie but you know you ain't helpful like that, 'doubt we'll get a cab tonight so can't even fuck you on the way, sorry'] Buster: ['sorry ain't the word' when you take one of the fam's cars even though you 16 & had two drinks so you're gonna get in so much shit but quickest way to sort this & you bring the solutions always] Rio: ['don't kill me, okay'] Buster: ['trust me, okay'] Rio: ['obviously' and must 'cos in the car bitch] Buster: [when its a moment cos who trusts him & you lean it cos wanna kiss her but you pretend like you intended to fix a make up smudge all along] Rio: [just smiling like 'even a bottle and a bit in, sounds like I'll be the most put together bitch there but thanks, babe' and adjusting his collar 'cos all mussed up] Buster: [gestures at himself like excuse you that'll be me but then she touches him so he's looking at her obvs boy stop & start the car you need to go] Rio: [laughs, 'how could I forget how bad you want a crown, well I'll vote for you but I got my tits out so' shrugs; when you want this moment but you ain't got time, 'drive on, driver'] Buster: [laughing too & pretending to take off his shirt & get his out cos nerd but obvs not cos they have to go & do] Rio: ['put it away, McKenna'] Buster: ['Say it like you mean it, Cavante, maybe I'll believe you even though you were desperate for the opposite a second ago] Rio: ['This weren't my idea, I still want the opposite, blame whatever child we've got to scrape off her floor, like'] Buster: [I do but I still wanna take all my frustrations out on you & you can't blame me for that] Rio: [silently 😩🤤] Buster: [hand on the thigh cos gotta drive but make it a moment] Rio: ['so daddy'] Buster: ['behave, I'm driving' whilst touching her up more cos being a hypocrite is in his dna thanks baze] Rio: ['if you're not up to multitasking then I take it back' 'cos cheeky] Buster: [when you have to go harder to prove you can so enjoy babe] Rio: [not taking it back even remotely, when you saying more and more] Buster: [obvs living for the encouragement so does. don't crash thanks boy] Rio: [not your car, places to be lmao] Buster: [priorities though cos how would you stop if you'd finally got to start touching her after forever of not] Rio: [just promising all the ways she gonna get him back, like] Buster: [gutted you're gonna have to wait so long boy but am actually cackling evily cos you get everything else you want so serves you right tbh] Rio: ['I'm gonna be so bored when you go and you're gonna be having such a good time, so rude'] Buster: ['I won't let you be bored, nobody multitasks better than me' keeps proving it by not crashing despite being distracted af] Rio: ['not gonna argue right now'] Buster: ['what are you gonna do?'] Rio: [just laughs but it breaks 'cos it's obvious if he don't stop] Buster: [doesn't stop obviously cos determined to finish what he started before they get there. 'say it'] Rio: ['I'm gonna cum for you, shit, Buster and you're actually here, it's actually you'] Buster: [when you also have to swear with feeling about this because unbelievable at this point] Rio: ['Baby, pull over, just for a second, I need'] Buster: [shouldn't but does because always gonna give her whatever she wants that's just facts] Rio: [when you just need a moment to recover and you get in his lap] Buster: [kissing her because the noise you make is unholy but you forget you can just do that right now cos actually alone] Rio: [gasping into his neck 'cos can't handle it, 'everything you do is so hot' when you're grinding on him like earlier 'cept you're alone now and we don't have time and you say as much 'we have to go' casually sounding so 💔] Buster: [saying 'I know' and normally it'd be a cocky reply to the first bit but it's a gutted response to the second bit obvs because never been more turned on in your life] Rio: [tilting his head like he did her earlier but giving him such a slow, longing kiss as she as slowly climbs back off to her own seat, 'I swear to God, I'm making it up to you'] Buster: [full on moan into her mouth because there's no way to keep that in & your only reply to that is to hit the steering wheel in total frustration before driving again. 'If there's a god besides me, he fucking hates the competition, And me for always winning.'] Rio: [When you gotta stop looking at him 'cos so turned on by that you ain't gonna help the situation] Buster: [such a sexually charged silence in that car rn] Rio: [how don't you die lads, like gotta skip you there 'cos bye] Buster: [at least it wouldn't be as far as it feels because their flat probably is close to town for drew's work reasons] Rio: [thank god there's drama 'cos your vibe, be more blatant Buster: [& thank god Indie's literally a child or she'd work it out] Rio: [sorting these shennanigans, probably ref this after the fact, like] Buster: [he really can multitask, being this turned on but still getting shit done] Rio: [when you lowkey have to ignore each other or it's game over tho, story of their lives] Buster: [at least they've had a shit ton of practice & the chaos is real rn so] Rio: [when you know you can't call an ambulance to Drew's gaff so it's either take the stash or take the kid somewhere else so you ask Buster to go take him outside and be like 'yeah just found him' 'cos not like she can carry this drunken child lmao soz boy and you get to work clearing out the rest, being a peacekeeper, standard] Buster: [you better not ruin his outfit in any way child] Rio: I.O.U x1000000 Buster: Yeah you do Rio: I know Rio: think all the worst of them have fucked off, no one else looks like they're dying so they can walk it off Buster: This kid looks too old to be this fucked Buster: At least I was an actual kid when I almost died Rio: Can leave him there if he is Rio: why the fuck anyone over the age of 13 would be here is fucked Buster: He could be 13, that still makes him a pussy Rio: Not gonna defend him, ain't dead yet no need to saint Rio: should've gone out properly Rio: would've been too fucked to see her texts and she'd have to get someone else Buster: Tell your regrets to the other god you believe in Buster: He's so jealous of me I'm in the gutter with a dying kid Buster: Didn't need or ask for this level of humbling Rio: Well no, this isn't how anyone envisioned their night going, I know Rio: 'cept maybe Drew who I'm sure is having a lovely time, wherever the fuck he is Rio: can swap if you like Rio: least he's unconscious, know she's a kid and all but if she don't shut up in a second Buster: You're alright, I'd only say something for me to regret Buster: I'm already so hot its a sin, no need to go overboard Rio: as the devil himself, babe Rio: that's my defense Buster: I could make that hold up in court Buster: You know, that's one regret that I don't have though, that we didn't go out Buster: I don't want you to be fucked up Buster: I want you to remember Rio: I'm not gonna forget Rio: all this bullshit aside, it only matters because I wish we had more time Buster: You could if you were that gone, I can't remember loads of Christmas Rio: I'm not that gone Rio: I'll message you tomorrow with all that I remember Buster: You're not 'cause we didn't go out Buster: So like I said, no regrets about that Rio: Good Rio: don't regret any time you spend with me Buster: Other than the kiss, I haven't Rio: Why regret that Buster: You know why Rio: but don't Buster: Whatever, like Rio: 😣 Rio: Any sign? Buster: Fuck no Buster: I'm gonna be here all night Rio: You could just put him in recovery position Rio: is that evil Rio: probably Buster: I've done that Rio: yeah but you could come back in, I mean Buster: Can I? Rio: We've called the ambulance Rio: oh, I don't know Rio: I'm being selfish, someone should stay out there Buster: No, I am. I don't know if I can be around you and not alone Rio: Valid Rio: I wanna but we've gotta focus Buster: Yeah Buster: Does she know this kid? Rio: Getting any straight answers out of her is fun but lemme ask Buster: Find out Buster: It could matter Buster: If he's got a big mouth Rio: it's a kid in her class, apparently Rio: which is the worst answer to that Rio: fuck sake Buster: He looks older than her, which is what I would've hoped for if I bothered with that shit Buster: This could get fucked up fast then Rio: Who doesn't? Rio: Jesus Rio: definitely wait then Rio: should we go to the hospital with him, like Rio: you've lowkey stolen a car to get here Rio: this is bad Buster: I'll see if I can get in his phone Buster: Hold on Rio: I should get my mum Rio: there needs to be an adult there when his invaribly shows Buster: I'll go to the hospital, call mine from there Buster: Get yours here Rio: Alright Rio: oh God Rio: well Rio: thanks for helping Buster: It'll be okay Rio: At least she's not hurt Rio: this kid will be okay Buster: They'll sober him up & get his parents Buster: I've done loads worse shit than this Buster: Unless his are proper strict, like Buster: Can't be that bothered if they let him out Rio: He's 11 Rio: that's not strict that's like Rio: basic fucking requirement Buster: I've been 11 Buster: Calm down Buster: You being hysterical ain't changing or fixing anything Rio: Don't call me hysterical Rio: 'cos I ain't Rio: we don't even know if he's just drunk, for God's sake Buster: Well, he ain't in the state to play twenty questions Rio: Well, it changes how they'll have to treat him and could change how much his parents, strict or nah, give a shit Buster: You don't think I know that?
