In 'Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday' 2023 special, Phoebe Robinson's showstopper cake is based off of playing Sonic on her SEGA Genesis with her brother.
Patrick Bateman is a noted Genesis fan, so Sadist Art Designs put the American Psycho icon in a SEGA Genesis ad. It's available in black or white on T-shirts ($25) and 12x18 prints ($27).
y'know, its not something i really bring up, but for the record i've always viewed hero, and by extension, cynic, as mixed-raced coded. to me they are black and japanese.
do u have any serious thoughts on archie sonic as an adaptation of its source (satam/the games) or do u view it as a more separate thing
as an adaptation of satam i think its great. it starts off a with a different tone than the show but it does eventually get up to speed with it. it explores concepts and characters beyond the scope of the tv show but in a way that's pretty in line with what had been presented. like bunnie and antoine had a phenomenal time in archie comics imo.
as a game adaptation... eh. i think it does an interesting job of worldbuilding, exploring places the game canon hasn't reached, but i don't think it can necessarily be called a great adaptation. it did evolve into its own thing really. i can be a lot more forgiving to archie for doing things so drastically different from game canon because it started off when there wasn't as many games and the lore wasnt super consistent or overarching. i kind of view it as its own separate thing given the context it was brought about in- it was developed during a time where sonic the franchise itself was still growing so i get why it ended up radically different.
Please I have to know where you got the cardboard Majima cutout. It's for normal science purposes
it's actually a render I comm'd!
subcio_ on tweeter did the render work in 8K and then I sent that file to a place that does custom cutouts 👌👌👌
I don't recall how much I paid for the render but I hella tipped cuz supporting artists is very sexy. the cutout itself was around 140$. I got it done on coroplast which is like corrugated cardboard but plastic so it's much stronger (and a lil pricier) which is good cuz my cat likes to nibble Majima's leg lmao
so it's not something anyone can readily buy or is official merch but!!! definitely possible if you can get someone to getchu a render and you find a cutout place that works for you :)
Initially released in June 1993 in PAL territories for the Genesis (with a Sega CD port the following November and an Amiga conversion in 1994), Puggsy remains one of the 16-bit era’s strangest mascot puzzle platformers. Originally, he was the star of a 1990 demo for the Amiga entitled Puggs in Space - a short, non-interactive video created by small development team Dionysus to show off the graphical capabilities of the home computer. Publisher Psygnosis contracted Dionysus to develop a full game based on the demonstration. This deal fell through, and Traveller’s Tales took over the project, with Psygnosis insisting on retaining the alien character design from Puggs in Space. Enter Puggsy, the third title ever developed by Traveller’s Tales (who are best known now for their work on the hugely successful modern Lego games) and one of Psygnosis’ first forays on the Genesis.
