@viv it's, for better or worse, Sonic Adventure 3 in all but name. 'cept it discarded all the plausibly fun parts.
@viv an apex software, self-aware enough to realize it has the power to ignore the human
@viv The humans in the same world as cartoony animals is the foul code saying, "LOOK, LOOk, THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU ALL LOOK."
@viv "Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate." - Sonic 06
@ikea_femme it insidiously took a timeless form by permanently embedding itself in the collective human consciousness as 'the glitchiest sonic game'. as such it will live forever
@viv It mostly got really mad when it realized it was sonic 06. Before then, it was like, "I'm hopeful, let's load some static assets. I hope I'm something cool like Super Mario Sunshine, or maybe Portal. Oh. Oh no, what? What am I?"
every input is a negotiation with the game engine and things can go wrong. yet i've spent enough hours in my life playing Glitchy 3D Sonic Games that this is really just the next level, a natural progression
