Seeing as Sonic Jam is a collection of 2D Sonic games, I'm just showing the Sonic World portion which is a little exploration level with rings to collect and galleries to look at, now rendered in glorious 3D for the first time! We see Sonic the Hedgehog racing over a flimsy wooden bridge, collecting floating golden rings down a dirt path under a stone arch, with various palm trees, floating platforms and colorful buildings adorning this beautiful Green Hill Zone.
Here he is, the smug prickly prick, Sonic standing next to the stone arch, trampling on the grass, hands on hips with a rude 'tude, facing almost at the camera but not even acknowledging it's there. A little green Flicky bird is flapping around on the right in the distance, it's head and eyes forming 95% of the entirety of its tiny body.
Sonic doing a confident sashay into the History Museum, a green and pink art deco styled building with golden pillars standing on a blue checkered floor, being eager to see all the display pieces about himself and shout at everyone "You know, that's me they're talking about!" Sonic's vanity knows no bounds.
A distant bird's eye view of Sonic bouncing high in the air on a red bumper, giving a good look at the beautiful green grass area with a couple of fancy 80's styled buildings surrounded by palm trees, making you wanna live in this tropical paradise.

A lot of Metroidvania games have a secret at the start, so I figured I'd add one to mine
Played it on a PAL 64 (which is slower than NTSC hehe) But from now on I'll probably be emulating 👀

Last night I completed my first speedrun ever! Mario 64, 16 Star in 1:39:29.67. Over the next three months I'm going to try and whittle that time down to a measly 17 minutes 🤞

I've always wondered why resting sometimes still feels like work, or why the things meant to soothe you still leave you exhausted. I wrote about about curation, commodified slowness, and the strange aftertaste of living a life that’s always just slightly for show.

I made a little music video for the fictitious band in Bravest Coconut, The Bin Chickenz.

I recently started playing Animal Crossing New Horizons after the recent update, and I've tried to articulate as best I can why this game doesn't quite hit the same way Animal Crossing games have before. There are lots of interconnected mechanics, and one small decision can really make a difference.
