Jomega ,

You can't call something a graphic novel if it's only one page long though, so what do you call it?

Jomega OP ,

Sega has a bunch of mandates regarding how Sonic is allowed to behave, so there's meta reason for his placement. They don't even let him cry, so coming out of the closet would be enormous.

TBH, I didn't know what to do with Charmy, since Team Chaotix doesn't really get that much development. I stuck him in the middle just to be safe.

Jomega OP , (edited )

I didn't say that it was a tier list based on how surprised I'd be if they came out as Bisexual, now did I? Strictly gay.

Jomega OP ,

That's on me. I didn't make the rules clear.

Jomega OP ,

My original idea was "If Sega decided one of these characters is gay tomorrow, who is it going to be?". It morphed into the list you see before you. I took into account both actions and how Sega treats them, as well as just general vibes.

Jomega OP ,

I only included characters from the games because if I hadn't I'd be here all day.

Jomega OP ,

Rotor is canonically gay. I don't even have to rank him.

Jomega ,

Honestly, why do you need graphics to create that level of detail? In regular gameplay, you aren't getting closeups of your characters face. It's just a waste of energy on the part of the animators.

Jomega ,

I grew up with the N64 and I never needed realistic pores and eyelashes to get immersed in a game. All I needed was a world and characters I liked. I can't imagine someone picking up a classic and being like "WTF, where's the individually rendered nostril hair? I can't get invested in this!" That just feels silly to me.

Jomega ,

WHAT THE FUCK

Jomega ,

Because it kills everything you put it in? I don't know how to tell you that you're supposed to care about other people.

Jomega ,

You haven't been keeping up with the news have you? The chip malfunctioned, and Elon knew it was going to.

Jomega ,

Secondly, you’re literally asking for a final version of something without any sort of human testing involved. Can you name a single medical device, ever, which has had exactly 1 version, no updates, and went through 0 human trials before completion?

That's what the animal trials were supposed to be for. You know what happened to them? They died. They didn't even wait for the chip to be successful in apes before putting it in a human. If you don't understand why that's fucked up, I can't help you.

Jomega OP ,

Yeah. Oni press published an official licensed Aggretsuko comic way back when.

An AI startup made a hyperrealistic deepfake of me that’s so good it’s scary (www.technologyreview.com)

Thanks to rapid advancements in generative AI and a glut of training data created by human actors that has been fed into its AI model, Synthesia has been able to produce avatars that are indeed more humanlike and more expressive than their predecessors. The digital clones are better able to match their reactions and intonation...

Jomega ,

Stonetoss is a Nazi. Please don't give him exposure.

Jomega ,

You've got to share the link.

Jomega OP ,

I wasn't aware that I was making a profound vegan statement when I posted this. I just thought that the panel was funny.

Jomega OP ,

I have no idea what is going on in this thread.

Jomega OP ,

Whoa, that actually is kinda deep. I didn't really think about it so hard. I just saw a panel of Sonic choking the shit out of a rabbit and thought "I'm totally taking this out of context and posting it to 196 the next time I have to obey the rule". Contextually, it's not really making a statement about veganism one way or the other, which is why I was confused. Now I see that by removing said context, I have created a sort of Rorschach test. Suddenly the panel is open to interpretation, and it can mean whatever we want. If this thread views it as a statement about vegans, then who am I to argue with them?

Jomega OP ,

Can you stomach edgy grimdark shit? Because it gets brutal once it gets going.

If the answer is yes then absolutely. Peak fiction right here.

Jomega OP ,

It's mostly the bad guys who do that to my recollection, what with them being trolls and whatnot. Unfortunately, trolls happen to be the largest faction, so there is a lot of it.

Jomega ,

He's sterile. He works with science all day.

Jomega ,

If you're dead then why does it matter? You aren't using it anymore.

Jomega ,

A few of them already do believe this.

Jomega ,

Yeah, it's drawn in grayscale. What's your point?

Jomega ,

Communism is when no golf.

Socialism is when mini golf.

Jomega OP ,

I think I forgot a word. That's what I get for posting after taking my sleepy pills.

Jomega OP ,

Nothing straighter than two guys playing twister by themselves right?

Jomega ,

I miss r/comedynecrophilia.

    The costume by itself isn't necessarily sexual. It's like cosplay.

    Jomega ,

    Medical devices aren't supposed to kill their users, which is what happened in the animal testing phase. It didn't even have a single successful case of doing what it's supposed to.

    Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

    For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

    "Why, yes. We can tell you are a criminal because of your skull shape"

    Jomega OP ,

    I mean yeah, it's kinda sexist, but his heart is in the right place ya know?

    This screenshot is from Sonic Battle, a game where 80% of the plot is Sonic and friends being bad parents to their new robot buddy. (it's better than it sounds) In this scene, Cream was kidnapped by Eggman and Emerl (the robot) saves her. Since Cream dislikes fighting, she is upset that he had to blow up some other robots to rescue her. Emerl apologizes despite not understanding what he did wrong, citing the above quote, which is apparently advice Sonic gave him at some point.

    The disease comic is definitely fan made, since Cream is very much still alive and >!Emerl has to be put down to save humanity!<.

    Jomega ,

    Zebraforce would be a kickass band name.
