It increasingly feels like securing a publisher as an indie game dev isn't as much of a "solution" as it used to be. Seems like I'm constantly hearing about devs fighting with publishers or really poor performance on launch. Am I crazy? Is this just some kind of insane bias I've stumbled into because of who I know / the games I pay attention to? Anyone have any like... good stories to share about their publisher?

The official trailer for Prehistoric Planet season 2 just dropped!!

Yesterday a friend of mine asked if card games are my favorite type of game.

I almost said yes, but then I thought:

Cards aren't really a genre of game. Instesd, they're a game component that opens up a multitude of different ways to structure a game. 7 Wonders, Pokemon TCG, and Poker all use cards in radically different games. You can't just label all of them in the same category based on their shared medium; that'd be like saying you like all books or all video games with health bars.

But I said yes anyway, because I do in fact love all 3 of the aforementioned games AND I just really like the fact that cards are self-contained "rule boxes". Very modular. Very demure.

Cards are an S tier game component. Perhaps even the best game component. Is there any game component, physical or otherwise, that even comes close to the versatility and usefulness of cards?

And don't say dice, they're just number generators. Cards can do that too. No, I don't care if they're pretty math rocks, cards are still better. Stay mad.

Where to Watch: Sonic Media

Updated - 05/22/2022

With Sonic getting a resurgence of popularity after the 2020 film, and speculation that the ‘22 tv show might include multiple canons (this is not confirmed!!), I’ve seen several people asking where they can watch certain adaptations, so here’s a handy-dandy list!

Quick rundown of the links: YouTube links will be provided only if they’re full unedited uploads. I recommend WCOStream over the others but I’m including a variety in case some sites are blocked where you are. fmovies specifically has a LOT of popup ads, but if you have a good enough adblocker (I use ublock origin) it shouldn’t bother you.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993)

Also called AoSTH, this is a slapstick comedy show. It focuses much more on humor than “plot” or “internal consistency,” which I think is just neat. It was aired very early on in Sonic history, predating such characters as Amy, Metal Sonic, and Knuckles.

Streaming Services: Paramount+ (episodes out of order)

Links: YouTube (+Christmas Special) | WCOStream | tubi (+Christmas Special) | kimcartoon | fmovies

Sonic the Hedgehog (1993-1994)

Commonly known as SatAM, this is an action-adventure show, focusing on Sonic and a mobian resistance trying to defeat Robotnik, who has caused a robot apocalypse. It has a more serious tone than AoSTH, which aired at the same time, and is incredibly story-based.

Streaming Services: PlutoTV, Paramount+ (episodes out of order)

Links: YouTube | WCOStream | kimcartoon | fmovies

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie (1996)

Commonly known as the Sonic OVA, this was a pilot for a potential anime series that never really got off the ground (no pun intended). While still unconnected to Sonic canon, this included Knuckles and Metal Sonic, the latter of whom is animated so cool you guys,,

Was on YouTube but was recently deleted for copyright.

Sonic Underground (1999)

Released as a “more marketable” replacement for SatAM, this show features Sonic and his triplet siblings, Sonia and Manic, searching for their lost mother and fighting overlord Robotnik and his cronies with rock-and-roll instruments that shoot lasers. It’s… it didn’t age great, let’s be real, but it’s a nostalgic favorite for a lot of the fanbase.

Streaming Services: Paramount+

Sonic X (2003-2005)

The anime series; the first season is kickstarted by an accidental burst of Chaos Control transporting Sonic and his Gang to another dimension– Earth. Robotnik still wants to conquer this new planet, so Sonic and his friends have adventures trying to stop him. Season Two adapts Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2, marking the first animated appearance of Shaodw, and Season Three features new adventures in space that get. Very interesting.

IMPORTANT NOTE– I am including links for both the subtitled version and dubbed version. Note that the dubbed version is a censored version of the show and cuts several important plot/emotional beats because 4kids wanted it to be more “child-friendly.” I recommend the subtitled version, but if you don’t like watching subtitled shows (fair!) I at least recommend watching Episode 68 dubbed, as that was the one that was most screwed over by said censorship. I also recommend ep39 [a lot of jokes got cut] and ep78 [the finale, had the pacing butchered] but 68′s honestly the most censored one lol.

Streaming Services: Hulu [has both japanese and english]

Sonic Boom (2014-2017)

A sort-of “workplace comedy” and the first CGI Sonic television show. Based  on the spinoff universe of the Sonic Boom games, Team Sonic live on a small island village while fighting Eggman and the occasional other supervillain as part of their job as Designated Heroes. Extremely comedy-focused.

Streaming Services: Hulu

Links: WCOStream | kimcartoon season one and two | fmovies

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

An “origin story” for Sonic, as the blue blur grows up alone and eventually finds himself on an Earth road trip with the “Donut Lord” Tom Wachowski while being pursued by Dr Robotnik, who wants to capture the hedgehog due to a strange power he seems to control. Very cute and fun!

Streaming Services: Epix, Hulu, Paramount+

Links: kimcartoon | fmovies

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)

Sonic is trying to settle into life on Earth as his own desire for freedom conflicts with his newfound safety. But when Robotnik returns with a dangerous new ally and the goal of retrieving a superpowered emerald, it’s up to Sonic to save the day, before the whole world is doomed.

Streaming Services: Paramount+
