First Throwback Thursday of the thread! Sorry for nothing over the last few weeks (laziness and lack of interest is a bitch) but I'm back to give /sssr/ it's weekly fix of old internet sonic fan stuff! to make up for lost time, here's a small dump of stuff from an old fansite about Manic! Throwback Thursday #15: "Manic Panic" (2001-2003-ish)
>>22117 Here's an (archived) version of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20040702081002fw_/http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/manicpanic/Manic_Panic.html
Oh my fucking God dude, Tamers is making a Dandy's World video this weekend.
I was in that hyperfixation hell for the past 2 years, that's where I was all this time. Can't wait for you all to see the Potential Game(TM) and the several twinks and waifus I obsessed over (granted they look... much better and shapely in fanart).
Eggman has lost all of his allies. Except for one. The Master Emerald and the villainous voice whispering nefarious nothings in his ear. A final showdown in space is about to begin. Between the super couple and the nightmare-inducing Death Egg!
https://www.deviantart.com/lummh/art/Olympus-Heroes-and-Blaze-the-Cat-funding-1253024590 >Hello there, >As voted here and on Patreon, it seems to you the best approach for funding is to reset it with each new chapter and offer new ways to support. To address that last point, I’ve also created a Ko-fi, hoping it’ll help diversify our income sources.
>So, we’re back to needing €600 per month to move forward with the next chapter of Olympus Heroes. While we still have some leftover resources from the previous goal, it’s not enough to complete the next chapter. And as mentioned before, we simply can’t do it for free — even if we could continue for a while, the comic realistically wouldn’t reach its proper end.
>You’ll also notice we added a Blaze the Cat comic to the goals (the very same you voted for months ago)! The idea is to retell the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA (1996) story, but set in Blaze’s dimension — basically introducing Metal Blaze. Miitara and I have always been huge Blaze fans and would LOVE to make this comic happen, and Miitara would be okay to add one page per month for what would be a 20 pages comic! It’s not our main priority right now, of course, but we added it to the goal as an extra motivation.
>In the meantime, I’ll keep releasing Ask Star Fox and Bad Guys content, along with concept art from the Odysseus chapter as planned.
>You can donate on PATREON and now also on KO-FI
>Once again, thank you all so much for your continued support!
This is gonna be real petty and just a irrational rant but whenever I see comments immediately jumping to say how Sonic and Rouge's flirty rival interaction is platonic I find that mind numbingly bueno, like obviously nothing will come of it but I genuinely find this weird current obsession with everything be all platonical kind of boring even in a innuendo charged back and forth.
>>22136 I feel you, it reads as people overcorrecting in fear of being seen as a "buenoworthy shipper" most of the time.
A lot of fandoms nowadays are filled with newgens that absolutely loathe standard fandom stuff like shipping or AUs and they are very vocal about it. Shipping wars in the past used to be people arguing which ship was better, nowadays it's people dogpiling shippers for daring to interpret interactions as romantic.
>>22140 This bird guy has been the first IDW OC design I've liked besides Mimic, also yeah do love the Sin City rain as someone who's watched the 2 films frequently.
>>22137 Yeah essentially with Sonic, no pairings will be canon ever anytime so I just see it as like what you like and if you don't like a ship then you can as long as you aren't a dick to people who do like it that aren't acting like dicks themselves. Cause to be blunt people will read any potential dynamic and interaction as a possible romance plus people will have nonsense pairs they like just cause of designs looking well together/interesting hypothetical dynamics. So enjoy Sonic X Zeena or Mimic X Whisper or Storm X Tekno and just take what can can for fun fanwork ideas and discussion really.
If the Konductor's not here by 8pm EST I've got some backup comics we can storytime >>22144 >with Sonic, no pairings will be canon Except for Sonknux amirite!?
Image:176074539958.png(58kB, 494x277)RELAX, I'M SURE I CAN HANDLE IT....png
>>22148 Saved by the bell! It's probably for the best since the lewd Sonknux comic I was going to post only has a few more pages before it'll be finished
>>22148 Yoooo I've missed you dude, you always are a ton of fun in these threads. Heads up my Mordred shilling and fixation is now a Zeena one instead.
>>22217 It's a really nice comic, but at 64 pages and counting you'll be getting multiple slutty sonic storytimes! >>22111 >Knowing SEGA it's probably the writers enduring the sisyphean struggle that is convincing the business suits that Shadow doesn't need to be a friendless tarpit of an individual. Shadow's Iizuka's favorite (and I suspect also his self-insert) so it'll always be more difficult to write for him if you don't gel with how he sees him. I think Ian and Evan want to write him closer to his Archie counterpart, and while I really like that interpretation, Sega definitely doesn't. Some of the other writers (e.g., the racing tie-in comic, Shadow manga, those tie-in animations for Sonadow generations) are able to portray him as a non-grump and friend-haver. My guess is that communication between the IDW writers and Sega is just absolutely terrible, so Evan and Ian are left playing guessing games as to how Sega actually wants him portrayed >>22114 She's definitely got pleb taste when it comes to Sonic VAs! >>22117 I remember this site! Tamers was not happy when it went down >>22122 Well I hope it was everything you hoped for! >granted they look... much better and shapely in fanart Well at least with Tamers you're guaranteed shapely figures! >>22124 >is that eggmany hands >eggmany hands >many hands Oh boy, is the artstyle about to take an absolute nosedive! >>22126 lmao, that's what I was thinking! >>22136 I like to think of them as good friends that are sometimes FWB, but I can see why people would ship them. They're basically genderswapped versions of each other >>22139 It's nice to see Vector being a bro and rescuing Sonic from the pink menace >>22143 I'm hoping we get a better look at the OC. The Sin City artstyle is nice, but it's pretty difficult to make out details >>22218 Hey hey! I've missed chatting too, but have been pretty busy lately. Still, I'm hoping to post more frequently now >Heads up my Mordred shilling and fixation is now a Zeena one instead. Well they are both green!
>>22219 Yeah it shifted from me indulging my villain on heroine enjoyment to my villainess on hero enjoyment. Also I dunno, I just think she has a great design plus like Mordred there's enough personality for me to enjoy but also enough gaps to flesh out or think ideas for.
Also yeah Vector is being the greatest as usual, fucking love that character so much. Also yeah hard to make out the old Skeksis but I just think he has that balance of being an interesting animal while having a design that isn't to busy but not to lacking of details.
With my Sonouge leanings I see it as either a friend's with benefits deal or something like a Spider-Man and Black Cat but more playful with less baggage from each other.
>>22221 I have no idea about the lore of Dandy's World, but I certainly enjoyed Tamers' take on it! >>22220 The asymmetric hair and horn are pretty cool, and she's also the only Zeti Sonic actually has a conversation with. >Skeksis lmao! Fingers crossed the artist posts the design sheet >Sonouge Yeah, they've definitely got a bit of a Spider-Man and Black Cat thing going on, which is a fun dynamic. It's also nice to see them compete over Knuckles while still remaining friendly
>>22222 Shit's basically got no story. Honestly if I could I would post an entire 100 page essay on this fucking shit ass game. I love it and hate it simultaneously.
The "lore" of the game is just crumbs that don't really add up and just serve as bait for GameTheory rip-off channels. Characters are all bland as fuck too. It's in that space where you essentially have absolute freedom with however you interpret the story and the characters because whatever you make is automatically more well-thought out and elaborate than anything in canon.
Just play dolls with these characters and remember to always draw Rodger's voluptuous ass cheeks in full detail.
>>22222 Sonic and Zeena have some fun dialogue since she insults him but also clearly wants to get dat dick but doesn't let it get in the way of her villainy work while he has fun humbling her. Also yeah I love Zeena's hairstyle so much, also yeah the lips really get me going on her design also. Honestly I'll be genuinely stumped when I eventually do my own spin on her design for a comm since I don't even know what I'd tweak or change for her unlike Zazz or Zavok where I already have rough redesign ideas.
Speaking of Skeksis, age of resistance was such a great fucking show. Does a perfect job fleshing out every skek while having them all superbly voiced by incredible actors. I do wish Sonic would have more birds as I've countlessly said in countless threads.
I have an idea for Zeena. She should be one of the few to make Rouge actually mad. Rouge gets under people's skin for her amusement, but I think Zeena could just that much of a bitch to infuriate her to get one over her.
>>22226 Honestly that'd be a fun dynamic since they both have self interested motivations and luxury in mind but Zeena enjoys having it at the expense and suffering of others since she's still a sadistic Zeti while Rouge despite her selfishness does still have a heroic streak and standards. Plus it'd admittedly be a lot of fun to have them say really catty mean girl comments to one another plus he a good showcase of Rouge's better traits contrasted to Zeena's immorality.
>>22124 I might be the only person in the world who connects these two things together but this Death Egg look with the hands just reminded of Mike Kroon. I'm so deep in the autism spiral, guys, help me.
https://x.com/soniccitynet/status/1979478147352396139 >Takashi Iizuka on the possibility of future Brazilian Portuguese dubs:
>“We see Sonic’s current voices as something very personal to both young and old fans, so we’re thinking very carefully about who to choose for new voices — but we can’t promise anything yet.”
>>22251 >Love Zeena >Despise Harley Quinn I'd say her dressed as Poison Ivy or Shego would've suited better personally but still well drawn and the Zazz expression is funny
Thanks to that little bit of resistance from Dimitri to slow down Enerjak, Chaos Locke is ready to save his son! Receiving power directly from the Master Emerald is not recommended but desperate times call for desperate measures.
>>22255 >>22253 Yeah, it's almost unnerving to see a Locke that actually does shit and protects his son. It's like when you watch those Christmas specials where Santa's nice after he was such a dick in the Rankin/Bass Rudolph special.
>>22263 Girls with Big Tits >Rouge >Bunnie >Lien-Da >Lanolin >Gala-Ne Girls with Fat Asses >Zeena >Wave >Sally >Madonna >Alica Girls with a little bit of Both >Amy >Sara >Honey >Breezie >Whisper >Topaz >Iron Queen
Tangentially related but I'm so glad that SEGA did away with those arbitrary ages for the characters. Like 90% of the cast has read as at least a young adult for years.
I could buy Sonic being 15 in Adventure maybe, but in Frontiers? Motherfucker sounds like he's working on a master's or a phd.
>>22270 Yeah some people still think the ages are canon.
I get the hesitation to some degree, but I really wish people weren't weird about it. It's not like it's hard to tell which characters are still minors and thus off-limits to some degree (Cream, Charmy, etc).
>>22271 Honestly it was very odd cause the 2 other artist I'm commissioning Zeena getting defeat sex from Sonic had no questions or hangups on. I think this specific artist just has a hard rule of only 18 confirmed characters, was kinda tempted to try and Better Call Saul my way through using examples of 2 times Sonic was like 30 and 40 in Archie but honestly artist is nice enough and it probably would've come off weird anyway. Anycase may comm them some Professor Victoria, my ocs, and the sexy version of the Duck in the ending of Chicken Little in future.
So I've always heard the franchise should be like a fighting manga from people. I was thinking does Sonic do fights well at all? There is fights, but I'm not sure how well they are compared to other stuff. Anyone who does indulge in fighting media like to share what they think about this?
>>22322 >I was thinking does Sonic do fights well at all? The fights aren't really the focus of the Sonic franchise, particularly the comics. The only real notable fight scenes from the comics are probably Knuckles vs. Thrash in preboot Archie and Knuckles vs. Shadow in the postboot.
To quote a wrestler with a cute outfit that his boyfriend made for him, "Hey Freakshow, you're going nowhere! I got you for three minutes! Three minutes of play time!"
>Crash Bandicoot is getting a Netflix show by the studio who did Sonic Prime I wanted more Crash content, but I don't know how to feel about this. I hear Sonic Prime has a lot of mixed reception.
>>22425 Prime was fine, IMO. Season 3 was a little weak but the previous two seasons were fun.
The reason it's controversial is because someone mentioned that the show is supposed to be canon instead of another continuity, which pissed off the lorefags because Sonic is a himbo in the show.
One feeling I can't shake from not just official Sega stuff but fan content is this stagnation. Like it's the same characters, doing the same thing, acting the same way, and any AUs never progress past the one story. Or it's just gags and shipping. I feel so spoiled by Archie in that things kept changing and new characters were being introduced.
And I don't think the Chaotix special was posted on /co/. Most likely was on /sthg/.
If anything the stagnation tends to come from fans that don't engage in anything creative, ever. Barely any fanart, fanfics, and DEFINITELY not anything that strays away from canon (usually the game continuity or the Archie one).
>>22434 Honestly the games should try delving into an ocean setting with sea animal mobians since that'd be interesting to see how Sega would tackle the concept compared to the Archie Reboot. Also honestly I guess sometimes this is just how things feel on the gaps without new games or the movies....I know IDW isn't gonna shake the stagnant vibe that's for sure.
>>22434 I think part of the stagnation comes from people growing up with fan content that did it first and just doing more of the same. >And I don't think the Chaotix special was posted on /co/. Most likely was on /sthg/. https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/150949954/#150949954
>>22435 Maybe I'm looking for more ambitious stuff. There's a lot of cool things I have seen as well but then there's not much of it. So many cool things just end prematurely for a number of reasons. >>22436 Sounds like something 2000s Sega might've put on Gameboy Advance or DS or Wii. Remember when Sega put out a bunch of different kinds of Sonic games? I'm still waiting on them to port Chaotix just once. >>22437 Oh so that's why I didn't know. I really do avoid Sonic threads on /co/ a lot of times.
>>22438 I'm genuinely surprised Sega hasn't tried the easy moneymaking route of high budget remakes of past games honestly, I suppose there's Sonic X Shadow Generations but I'm meaning more something along the lines of the N.Sane Trilogy, Reignited and the Gears of War ultimate edition or Halo 2's remake.
Also yeah I'd of killed for an ocean settings Sonic game on DS or Wii. Would be so easy to come up with cool level themes, crazy bosses, cool new allies or villains and just playing with Sonic having to be surrounded by the ocean depths.
>>22442 >I'm genuinely surprised Sega hasn't tried the easy moneymaking route of high budget remakes of past games honestly
You have too high of an opinion on them. They had to get fans to remake the entire 16-bit sonic engine for them to be able to do anything more than release emulator bundles. Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Panzer Dragoon, some of their biggest IPs from the early 90s, they all have to be outsourced to get new releases or remakes.
It took this long for us to get a new Virtua Fighter, and that was their #1 arcade and system seller in Japan for a decade.
>>22443 Sega is such a baffling company in so many ways that are to numerous to list. I'm more so surprised not cause have high an opinion on em but cause Sega isn't above trend chasing or trying to go for what's popular so just baffling they've not chased the easy cash provider. Though I don't even know how they would tackle remaking their games in regards to engine, animations, story tweaks or anything that'd easily divide people.
>Accidentally say Mobius instead of Earth in a game discussion cause got called Ian mockingly I've not felt this stupid since my Ultraman Ace chouju name mixup twice in the same thread
>>22438 >>22443 >>22444 It's stagnant because Sega/Sonic Team doesn't want to branch out unless it's Yakuza or Persona. The Sonic IP has multiple sources to pull from but refuse to because of jackassery. "Let's use the same cast over & over!!" How about using the Egg Bosses/Grandmasters? Let Tekno be the new tech girl? Use Nagus as a mystical threat? Have Eggman COMPETE with other bad guys? Shit we just got a new thief character in the Chaotix special. Habe her interact with Rouge.
>>22448 >The Sonic IP has multiple sources to pull from but refuse to because of jackassery. It is weird considering Nintendo has no problem pulling from all their old stuff. They even brought back Super Mario RPG and that was a collab with Square. Nintendo would've definitely integrated the Freedom Fighters and continued the spin offs. >we just got a new thief character in the Chaotix special. I'm starting to feel like the writers have their own characters they prefer using and don't use the ones from others unless they have to.
>>22426 That is probably unlikely given canadian laws don't allow foreigner voice actors. which is the same reason why the sonic prime had a different cast.
The Sonic series and Dragon Ball series have quite a few similarities and I’m totally definitely sure it’s all just a coincidence. To continue that tradition, I do like to take certain things from Dragon Ball and apply them to these comics. It’s very rare so don’t expect to see it come up often. Can you guess what this scene is inspired by?
https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/151105502 So what do you think of Drogune? I think we talked about it a while ago but since there's a thread why not talk about it again? I think it's boring.
Gonna try and get the comic updates out sometime next week >>22519 The comic that keeps on giving, whether we like it or not! >>22520 I mean, I'd 100% sue anyone who mentioned that I'd banged a Sonic VA that wasn't Rodger or 😍Jason😍 >>22523 Fantastic art and writing here. F not-a-shitty-dad Locke >>22525 To be fair, that one does have Knuckles in the arms of Sonic (and had to give closure to a character that had over a decade of shitty actions) >>22527 I thought it was fine, but really needed tightening up. I mentioned it in the thread, but you could easily remove at least half the pages and it would've been a much more enjoyable read >>22538 lmao >>22539 Well I'm sure Eggman will learn from this mistake and stop trying to mess with forces he simply cannot comprehend >>22549 Surely one day she'll discover you can use colors that aren't black, red or pink in character designs! >>22561 What it needs is a full animated series!
Penders: Locke dies from cancer when Knuckles is older. Ian: Locke dies more recently by sacrificing himself to save Knuckles. Me: Locke dies by sealing his corrupted brother in the Master Emerald in front of Knuckles when he’s just a child.
Note: Instead of renumbering, this page will be posted now and the newer ones will be used as filler this was originally meant for.
We’re now in the present time and not only is Gold here with Blaze but they seem to be quite close! Also, Blaze has a personality like her name would suggest. Maybe this is what happens when she has someone that encourages her to be more emotional and helps her control her power. Who knows what kind of adventures these two get into in this alternate universe!
>>22638 Sayonara, Locke the Echidna... >>22639 So, Blaze and Gold? Goldaze? I'll say, their designs look really good together.
>Maybe this is what happens when she has someone that encourages her to be more emotional and helps her control her power. Pretty much her thing was that she had nobody.
>>22642 >Pretty much her thing was that she had nobody. Yeah. In this she gets that support early and her emotions are able to come out more. She's more Sonic-like because of it.
>>22646 If I had a nickel for every time someone in this fandom is exposed to have faked their death, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange (and kinda fucked up) that it happened twice
It's getting good enough numbers on Deviantart but it's doing REALLY well on twitter compared to the other things I post. If I dropped the action and adventure and went all in on shipping I'd probably get even more popular. Of course I won't actually do that.
>>22655 I'm more concerned about others. I'm doing alright but I've seen plenty of good comics stop updating because there wasn't enough interest for it. Meanwhile someone can slap Sonic characters on some meme or random romance pic and get all sorts of attention. That's sadly what the fandom wants more than anything.
>>22656 One of the best things to do about it is to bring awareness of other projects, which from what I've seen, is something you do with retweets, favoriting, storytime, etc. It is a nice gesture.
>>22661 >this gets announced >right after Rich had another fit over IDW that makes all fans of archie look bad
We are never going to hear the end of it. Usually, I don't care, but it really irks me that some rotten individuals ruin it for everyone else, especially for those who didn't do anything. The cards are already stacked against its fans, then you have to occasionally see that shit within your niche group.
>>22663 I just don't pay attention to that stuff. Nothing compares to the schizo and jannies I had to deal with during the Unofficial and Archie rides. If anything it's nice that Sega actually threw a bone to IDW. Sonic Prime as well. Sega needs to realize there's more than stuff made outside of Japan.
>>22664 >Sega needs to realize there's more than stuff made outside of Japan. I mean "in Japan." >>22665 I can ignore the schizo as long as they don't get attention from others in the threads but the jannies deleting posts and even threads was very troubling.
>>22666 They were assholes but at least for the most part, The Ride was pretty fun. Was hilarious when the loon tried to use polshit to derail the thread. >>22662 Good for them. Hopefully Sega will start using more characters from outside the games & maybe playable.
>>22664 Honestly Crossworlds has been a real boon to the cast since it made me become proper fans of Zavok and Zazz cause of their great interactions with everyone plus the voice cast. So it is really nice to see them actually use the IDW or Sonic Prime cast even if they don't get all the dialogue effort of the base characters.
>>22664 >Nothing compares to the schizo and jannies I had to deal with during the Unofficial and Archie rides. God don't remind me about those faggots. Hopefully at least the jannies chilled the fuck out after those email leaks.
I'm really happy that Crossworlds has been acknowledging more stuff coming from the international side of the franchise.
>>22663 >Richmunk Isn't he the guy that's been making those Sally ICE propaganda edits? Or was that another schizo?
Sally gets to the meet the god she and her mother worship. Knuckles has been called up to be chewed out by his boss. And Sonic is here as well. Eggman, too.
>>22764 >get in trouble >parents take away phone they bought for you >sonic appears and lectures them on taking your stuff No wonder he's popular with the kids.
>>22691 Nothing explicit, technically! We are getting to the point where the commissioned artist is gonna back out though there's a lot of putting characters in diapers and treating them like babies. The entire plot's been written out as a fanfic, we're around half-way here: https://www.deviantart.com/solarisdragon/art/Sonic-s-Prank-Wars-Chapter-4-436681970 Viewer beware, you're in for a scare!
>>22563 Thanks! Work's been pretty busy, and so has my personal life 😉. Still, I'm gonna try and post here more often, I've really missed you all! >>22638 I really love how you did things here, even if it means we won't get best ship Max x Locke. It's a really nice parallel for how Tikal sacrificed herself to save her corrupted friend by sealing him inside the Master Emerald >>22639 Now there's an interesting ship! To think both of Silver's love interests would rather get with each other! >>22647 I mean, is it even a legit fandom if you don't have needless drama? >>22653 >Of course I won't actually do that. He says, after making an entire issue devoted to Sonknux! >>22659 >It's funny to think that the IDW comics would be more popular if Sega allowed romance in it. Or action! Seriously though, preboot Archie struck a good balance between action, romance, and slice of life. IDW leans way too heavily on slice of life and glacial pacing, and it's alienating their target audience which, for the record is supposed to be kids, not Evan and Ian's 30-something xitter friends >>22661 I mean, if they wanted a cute couple that are actually fun Rough and Tumble are right there! >>22663 Oh, no one pays attention to him. He's been throwing online tantrums in the fandom since the 90s. While I don't think we'll get any cameos of Archie characters any time soon, at least we've got several ongoing fancomics >>22670 >Commission 43 Oh my, you have been busy! >>22672 >that painting Oh my! I'll pretty much have to see it now >>22674 I hate to say it but I really dislike this writing style >>22679 >Sally bows to her deity >Knuckles is ready to punch him >Sonic's already gotten board and is cleaning his ear Yeah, that tracks >>22680 lmao >>22686 I still maintain it's a good game! And it's technically less buggy than Rise of Lyric! >>22688 There are so many of these! >>22767 >introduce a bunch of creepy, possibly mind-controlled jesters >immediately lower the stakes as fast as possible It's so frustrating!
>>22770 >Now there's an interesting ship! To think both of Silver's love interests would rather get with each other! >evan: don't you mean silver's pseudo siblings?
>>22771 I figured that might be the case, but when I saw the filename I couldn't resist the joke! >>22774 We were robbed of some fantastic angst/body horror! >>22776 >>22780 >human woman >grippers on display >that face on sonic Move over Madonna and Elise, Sonic's got a new crush! >>22777 >>22781 And to think they still won't allow Mobian feet in IDW ;_; >>22783 lmao, I hate that you're right about that. I'm kinda surprised Whisper hasn't adopted him yet >>22784 This is so much better than the sendoff in #143. At least Archimedes is there with him instead of bailing right before Locke's death, depriving him of both his father figures at once >Knuckles fighting Perfect Chaos Well he did technically defeat him in #84! Seriously though, I do like the purple aura >>22787 It's such a fun take! I love that the Shadowlizard looks like a yellow Quilava >>22788 I-is Sonic behind Julie-Su? Get out of the way! >>22792 That's really disappointing, the standalone books from IDW are generally pretty good. It's gotta suck for the people working on it, even if they did get paid. Hopefully they'll share their concept art at some point >>22793 You need to adjust your monitor, I think you'll find she's light to mid-gray at most! Seriously though, they've gone for the "draw a regular Japanese lady but color her skin dark" route, which seems to be pretty popular over there. Nadia from The Secret of Blue Water is probably the most famous example, who is just Shinji from Evangelion, but with darker skin and more feminine hair
Also, judging by the straight black hair and the patterns on her clothing she's indigenous to the Americas (well, the continent on Sonic's world that includes locations from North and South America that's weirdly located where Antarctica would be). Also also, I can't believe no one noticed the sun and moon motifs on her earrings, marking her as a verified Sonknux supporter!
>>22792 >"It's The Wicker Man but with Shadow" Fleetway did it first with Knuckles! >>22794 Honestly not that upset over it, but I'm sorry for your disappointment.
Two more pages done! >>22794 >At least Archimedes is there with him instead of bailing right before Locke's death, depriving him of both his father figures at once I'm really realizing how Archimedes got in the way of Knuckles having to stay on Angel Island during Ian's run. That and being hidden in a cave. The silver lining is that Ian's murderous rampage didn't claim him.
>>22798 Oh shit, it's Colin. >The silver lining is that Ian's murderous rampage didn't claim him. He just leaves with no acknowledgement. Fine if he wanted to do it, but Ian doing it for Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg but not him was hilarious.
https://x.com/thegameawards/status/1990465707419529260 People are not happy. >>22799 >He just leaves with no acknowledgement. Fine if he wanted to do it, but Ian doing it for Sleuth "Doggy" Dawg but not him was hilarious. I actually didn't realize that Archimedes just stopped showing up. I always assumed he made appearances here and there until Endangered Species.
