Real btw. If you don't know, there is a list of things in X game lore is currently allowed to acknowledge as canon. And oh boy. It's certainly a list preventing Cosmo's story from getting its deserved flowers. And it's more annoying than the concept of sealed characters given how restrictive it is.

Honestly if we get her, that would be huge for a number of reasons One of them (the big one) being the fact that SEGA's higher ups have been annoying about what's allowed to be canon in the games, including her species. Like no fr. WDYM the X-Tornado is allowed, but not the thing Sonic Team WANTS-

I know the possible reaction I'll get. But Cosmo has a very famous death, making her qualified to open that floodgate. Iizuka wants any future Sonic inclusions - if possible - to be deep cuts from past media. Sonic Central art interviews hinted at wanting her to have one game to her name for years.

To be fair. There is hope for a couple of them now that CrossWorlds has established you can't "fix" what White Space is. And given she has as much favoritism as NiGHTS internally at Sonic Team, I have a strong feeling about who's gonna open the floodgates for them. ...Provided SEGA allows her in.

When 23/24 vehicles are the vehicle that completely warped one stat forever (with Pink Spyder being celebrated), there is a far more telling problem with the 5 stats than there ever was with the gadgets and items.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
At this point it's not even gadgets after seeing Charmy get to Grand Finals. Speed (Raw rings cut it until Mine Cart warped Handling), Acceleration (nerfed to oblivion early on, made way for Boost taking over) and Power (Only has one "good" combo in Big Idiot Omega) vehicles need mechanic reworks.

Especially if you know anything about how he was hellbent on making sure Fantasia would never be adapted in video games ever again, just because of one game from 1991 that was also its only other prior game adaptation in video games in general.

Revisiting KH DDD for the second time under a new lens has not only reminded me how fun it can be But also it's been a "time gives you new context" experience, because Roy Disney Jr. would have been really insufferable by trying to stop Symphony Of Sorcery from being a world if he was alive today.

Ah yes. I remember the part of Dream Drop Distance's story where Kazuya Mishima chased Sora down from Tekken, after both met in Smash Bros., to possess Hockomonkey and beat Sora to death with Electric Wind God Fists. That was the best part of the Mark of Mastery Exam.

In light of the recent news about Layton and YW2 (Especially YW2 in this context) Welcome to the club, YW fans. You've pieced together what Hino's behavior's felt like for FL fans now that the full picture of your series has been coming to light these past few months. Y'all deserve better, man.

And yes, this did thankfully blow up in their face harder than Zuko trying to use lightning. Nick doesn't pull this in any other Avatar games ever again after this, from what I remember.
010
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
True Though I may as well save you the trouble anyways. Your assumption about it being the cashgrab by Nick of the three actually is correct. They meant for you to play both the console and handheld at the time for the "full experience" compared to the other two games in the THQ trilogy.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 17/08/2026
Saving you a playthrough. Don't subject yourself to essentially the same issues, just on different hardware. From what I understand...it may play differently, but the only major difference with the story beats is what got skipped isn't the same as on console.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Oh right This is the one where what's covered in Book 3 is split up between console and handheld for some reason

I actually bothered to do the requirement that turns that one Keyblade into Dual Blade Roxas, the sixth one (I will never recommend doing that; it's a cool reward, but not worth it) That process makes you remember how awful Dustflier is compared to the two easy picks for Days' most hated Heartless.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
As someone who played and loved Days (and really wishes that remake that was gonna be exclusive to 1.5 wasn't canned) ...I can vouch for the unlock criteria being a pain. Not just for Donald and Goofy, but the other 3 unlocks that aren't Xion. Only got all six legit once. I use cheats on revisits.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Like...yeah, the backwards spike glitch is a broken, unplayable aspect of when it came out that had me put the game down. But that's only in a whole one release. The worst I'd ever say about Sonic 1 today is I never look forward to revisiting very specific Zone Acts, and the Special Stages.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
As someone who grew up on the infamous 1.0 cart? It's an important game. Didn't like it, but it grew on me when I eventually experienced the Genesis' 1.1 revision on GameCube. But the 1.0 cart is treated like it's Sonic 1's whole identity, and it's very disingenuous to the game's actual quality.

Apparently part of that amount of people might have actually been because got hit by three AI Searchbots that got through Cloudflare this week. I vaguely remember seeing Claude-SearchBot among the three when finding out why, and Claude also caused a 30.39k request outage on Dustloop the other day.

I mean hey. I need the motivation for when this heatwave settles. (Why did the first 4 days of AF have to be when it feels too hot to do anything where I live 🥀)

God I am so glad I predicted him from Day 1 based solely on pattern recognition from the moment they said "Active IPs" in that one interview. Snubbing him after he recently got a game and fit that bill would have actually been criminal.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Yes, I actually saw a post about this. It...it takes less time to look up something that was answered over a decade ago, man. This collection has been unchanged for years. Square Enix not touching something again once it's cancelled by the execs isn't exactly a secret.
010
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
It's been almost 13 years. There's actually no shot people still ask if Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX, the Kingdom Hearts collection that infamously has a cancelled remake of 358/2 (straight from Nomura's mouth), suddenly has a fully playable version of the original 358/2 in a 2026 port of 1.5+2.5.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
So not so fun trivia about this game that's probably worse than the endings and writing. Did you know this is also the StarFox game with the interview that came back to haunt StarFox Zero due to StarFox coming out of hiatus not being as thought out as Metroid coming out of it around the same time?

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
I'm pretty sure it's this too. Ever since we got them to say they'll re-evaluate its use, they have not been transparent about their use of AI at all.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
As a PSO2 player, I can very safely guess SEGA is saving that for a broadcast. Because for PSO2, it was announced in a recent May broadcast (to immense backlash) for all servers that a game I love to death is essentially getting ChatGPT/OpenAI, and that it's in an open beta test period as of rn.

(If they took the live service part out at some point, that would be news to me)
010
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Also live service because this is one of their four Super Games that follow the plan for the "Super Game" initiative, and was in development before New Era was a thought. Apparently we were too kind about Tech Bro filth when SEGA Corporate tried to justify NFTs.
110
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Maybe we didn't do a good enough job getting the message across to SEGA Corporate when they tried to get into NFTs. Maybe SEGA Corporate need to learn this lesson again, and we need to be far less kinder about it because being nice - yet strict - about Tech Bro trend garbage was our first mistake.
011
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
We're really gonna have to remind SEGA Corporate what happened when they tried to do NFTs, huh?

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
SEGA's Gen AI Division: We got caught by Sonic fans. We need to re-evaluate how to put GenAI in games. SEGA's Gen AI Division: We got caught by Phantasy Star fans over a chat feature. They're pissed too. PLEASE tell us you have a game in development we likely won't get caught in.

The hell do you mean the most hated blue deck in Duel Masters history is now legal in Play's-

I am once again asking the devs to move this stupid pillar slightly to the right so this shortcut has an actually identifiable room for error that isn't luck-based/not getting folded by a jank hitbox

Haven't touched World Race in months and it feels like I never left-
010
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
It'll be a post for another day, but uhhhh...yeah. SEGA didn't exactly explain it well themselves, and if you do enough digging you'll find it's been in the works before New Era was a thought, and which four games were initially always part of it from the start.
000
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 13/05/2026
Oh man it's about to be a "fun" week for me in light of the recent SEGA news about "Super Game" Not because I'm upset that it's gone. It should have only been the games SEGA put $800 mill into in the first place. (Yes, I said "GAMES") But because of all the misinfo on what Super Game actually was.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
To whoever created this card for Duel Masters, I just wanna talk. Why does this war crime on legs read like Kashtira and Mystic Mine had a one night stand Created the card game equivalent of Yian Garuga And promptly sent that child to torture a different card game's highly sensitive ecosystem?
Second effect on the creature half of this card (Bangetsu Ga Ryuzark) is essentially a mana floodgate that chokes your options when your opponent controls it by reducing your mana recovery to 3 per turn instead of full

Combined with certain Mafi Gang/Magic Tool creatures, Bangetsu is effectively more a war crime on legs than it already is.

Imagine if Kashtira and Mystic Mine birthed a child that zone locked your actions in Monster Zones based on the number of cards in your hand being lower than 5+; Matching the Level/Rank of what you control while your opponent controls it, and turning "Discard For Cost" effects into a hinderance.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Especially Kotaku because they still pump out the most unhinged stuff known to man, yet can somehow remember they can make a good review like THEIR review of Mouse: P.I. For Hire.
010
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Yeah. There's a reason I'm surprised a lot of these downhill game journalist platforms survived GamerGate in their current state. Because 2013 onwards is when a lot of these platforms with reviews went full mask off. Kotaku, of note, currently humbled into a broken clock that's sometimes right.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
It's just as bad as Polygon's review of DOOM 2016 Only unlike IGN, Polygon didn't apologize and doubled down on their painful first hour of gameplay being an "accurate representation of the full game" despite being heavily criticized so bad that they turned the comments for that gameplay OFF.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
I shit you not, it is stuck with that 4.9 because of how these reviews ship. We got a real review long after the damage was done, but that 4.9 is stuck with it forever.
100
EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
No re-review either. One of the few reviews IGN ACTUALLY apologized for in their ongoing decline era because of how unprofessional it was (it was pm a glorified hit piece and not a review), and how it didn't accurately portray anything people who commented on that review noted was left out.

EvoDeus @evodeus.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Okay so basically...on a video that is probably no longer available and was used as the footage? The guy they gave it to rage quit at Apple Woods. Not even at the first real difficulty curve, not even halfway through the game. And nowhere close to any of the new content, not even the side stories.

Oh and I did the math in my head. If the new cap is 9, that's roughly another 90K for every character. Literally nobody who's sane asked for more of the worst grind of CrossWorlds. 💀

Hell, Roll could have worked too. She startlingly, literally got nothing out of the siblings and she's a series mainstay and her omission was also a choice that was certainly made.

We get a deep cut reference to Battle & Chase with Rush Roadstar, and one song from 3. But nah. Somehow only 2 exists despite that, even down to the Festival.
