Oda stop blueballing us on Perona.
Welp Silent Hill F is a hit so far. And Sonic Racing Crossworlds is out in like 40 mins I think? Or within the next 2 hours at most?

Here’s a summary of what the reviews are saying (as of its recent release) about Silent Hill f:

⚠️ Common Criticisms & Caveats

  • Combat / action balance
  • Pacing & structure

    • Certain puzzle or “gimmick” segments are criticized as underwhelming. Diario AS+1
  • Diverging from classic formula
    • A few purists argue that it doesn’t feel “Silent Hill enough” at moments, due to its changes. Polygon+3Reddit+3Game Informer+3

  • Game Informer describes it as “a curious beast,” commending its presentation and atmosphere but pointing out that the emphasis on combat doesn’t always introduce enough novelty. Game Informer

  • Polygon says it ranks among the best Silent Hill entries for how it tweaks the formula while preserving what makes the series special. Polygon

  • Meristation (in Spanish) gives a mostly positive review, but notes that the action elements in the later game slightly tarnish what would otherwise be a near-remake-level quality. Diario AS

⚠️Major Phobia / Trigger-Relevant Things People Are Reporting

These are things people have specifically mentioned could affect those sensitive to certain visuals or horror triggers:

  1. Trypophobia (fear/disgust of clusters of holes or bumps)
    • Many reviews / players say that there are visuals that trigger strong trypophobic reactions: clusters of holes in skin, holes with flowers or other things growing out, etc. Reddit+2Gamepressure.com+2
    • GamePressure’s review says there were times when they felt physically sick to their stomach and had to take breaks — “I truly believe it gave me trypophobia.” Gamepressure.com

    • Blooms of unnatural / invasive flowers, unnatural growths. Game8+2GamesRadar++2
    • Rituals, ceremonial traits with violence. NME+1


Sonic Racing Crossworlds reviews too btw:
  • Critics agree the game is a fun, flashy kart racer that focuses on speed, chaos, and accessibility rather than deep simulation.

  • The CrossWorlds mechanic, which warps players into alternate track sections mid-race, is widely praised for keeping races dynamic and unpredictable.

  • Core racing feels tight and satisfying, with good drifting, boosting, and tricks that reward skillful play.

  • The game’s visuals are bold and colorful, though some reviewers found the on-screen effects and busy track designs overwhelming at times.

  • Performance is solid on modern platforms, maintaining smooth framerates despite the heavy effects and action.

  • A wide range of customization options for vehicles, parts, and gadgets adds depth and replay value.

  • The roster of Sonic and crossover characters is seen as a strong plus, appealing to long-time fans.

  • Some critics note imbalances with items and chaotic gameplay, which can make races feel unfair or overly random.

  • Single-player offerings are considered lightweight, with a straightforward event/race structure and limited auxiliary modes.

  • Overall, reviewers say it’s not a Mario Kart killer, but a vibrant, enjoyable alternative for those who want a high-energy, arcade-style racer with Sonic flair.
Funnily enough I think the Sega Sonic Racing games are WAY better than Mario Kart, immensely better by Miles (pun intended). Same with Sonic Riders, the hoverboard racing games. And Sega Tennis Superstars > Mario Tennis too. Not tried Team Sonic Racing though.

@TheLastBerserker @Ssg super suit coby @Yoho When the time comes for everyone to eventually switch up on Koby I want y'all to take note of all the people who tried to argue us DOWN on Koby not being the new Garp and not being a top tier by the time Luffy fights Blackbeard. That's not to say we will bully anyone for it but we should keep an eye on the people who did and didn't slander him for sure :kuzanshut:
