The only "Sonic" work I can be said to enjoy is the webcomic Sonichu, and even then only because it's so horrible that it becomes a form of high art.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Mania doesn't count because it was good and was made by people who didn't make the last twenty years of Sonic games.

I played the N. Sanity remake too but it was harder to play because they changed the jump physics a bit

Huh. Never thought I'd live to see the day where Florida got cold. Meanwhile It's about 35 in Indy, and all the snow that got dumped on Tuesday is mostly melted away.

It was 4c when I got home yesterday morning. It's about 15c right now.

There was a neat used book store in Ocean City, Maryland. My family and I used to go down to Ocean City a few times every summer back when I was a kid. I wasn't a fan of the beach, outside of building sandcastles, but I enjoyed visiting said book store. I wonder if it's even still there, tbqh.

In other news, there was another school shooting.

Should there be a thread? I can't make the thread, due to the fact that I'll be busy with offline commitments. I suppose though that at this point, while I may be morally obligated to care to some extent, emotionally speaking I just don't give a shit anymore. They have become a mundane occurrence, if that makes any sense, and I feel... drained, I guess.

I'm not a huge fan of the beach either. I have been there before. I didn't know there was anything but souvenir shops there.
