You like rpgs. Do you recommend any games like baldurs gate 3?
Absolutely. I'll assume you mean CRPGs and not RPGs in general.
Computer Roleplaying Games (CRPGs) refers to a style and genre of game that BG3 follows. Some have started calling CRPGs "Classic RPGs" instead. CRPGs are typically identified by an isometric, top down view style, a heavy focus on story and exploration.
I'm going to split my list it three main categories based on accessibility factors. These factors include the amount of reading involved, the depth of mechanics and the level of abstraction/math required.
Easy Entry Level
Baldur's Gate 3 - 2023 - Larian Studios. The current gold star for easy entry CRPGs. Exceptional graphics, every character voice acted, very little reading and fairly straightforward mechanics and concepts.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 DE- 2017 - Larian Studios. This is basically a less polished, more complex version of BG3 and made by the same studio.
Disco Elysium, Final Cut - 2019 - ZA/UM. Disco Elysium is a detective/social focus game that dives into heavy narrative concepts. Failing rolls is just as viable for the story as succeeding them, making the game's mechanics take a backseat to story. However, there is a lot of reading and that may be a barrier to entry.
Tyranny - 2016 - Obsidian Entertainment. A game about being evil, it's mechanically pretty simple, but there's a fair bit of jank due to it's low budget, and the game ends on a cliffhanger, but it's story is very solid.
Mid Entry Level
Wasteland 3 - 2020 - inExile Entertainment. The long awaited third installment of the Wasteland franchise and significantly less complex than its predecessors. Post apocalyptic, frozen Colorado, grim reality and goofy ideas. This is the franchise that originally inspired Fallout.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall DC/ Shadowrun: Hong Kong EE - 2014/2015 - Harebrained Schemes. Set in the Fantasy/Cyberpunk hybrid setting of Shadowrun. Fair bit of reading, but the game's mechanics are relatively easy to grasp and don't require a lot of math. Always play Dragonfall before Hong Kong.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire - 2018 - Obsidian Entertainment. A unique setting, exploring a fictional parallel to the age of piracy. Very wordy (but a lot is voice acted), with a lot of world building, but well worth engaging with. The first game, Pillars of Eternity, is less accessible, but still good.
Kingmaker/Wrath of the Righteous/Rogue Trader - 2020/2022/2023 - Owlcat Games. Owlcat adapts existing systems into CRPGs, like how BG3 is an adaption of DnD 5e. Do not be fooled, these games are where you start hitting a lot of complexity, a lot of math and a lot potential to damage your playthroughs by accident. This is where things start to get difficult.
Difficult Entry Level
Baldur's Gate 1/2 - Bioware - 1998/2000. The prequels to BG3, these games use an older, much more complex version of DnD's rules. Be prepared for a lot of reading and complex mechanics, but you'll be rewarded with some amazing storytelling.
Planescape Torment - Interplay - 1999. Another game using DnD's older mechanics, Planescape is a completely different beast from BG3. Many consider this series mechanically inferior to the Baldur's Gate franchise, but with better storytelling and world building to compensate.
Fallout 1/2 - 1997/1998 - Interplay/Black Isle. One of the most widely known game franchises started as an isometric CRPG. Universally considered more complex, rewarding and deeper than the Bethesda portion of the franchise, you'll need some experience to get into them, but you'll be happy you did.
Games I haven't played but I've heard good things of:
Wasteland 2, DC - 2015 - inExile
Torment: Tides Of Numenera - 2017 - inExile
Neverwinter Nights - 2002 - Bioware
Arcanum - 2001 - Troika Games
Ultima 7 Part 1/Part 2 - 1992/1993 - Origin Systems
Icewind Dale - 2000 - Black Isle Studio

Hi Mona!
I love your rockstar!eddie series!
I know request for him are closed for now, but when you decide to open up request again, I wanted to leave this here so that I won't forget.
Rockstar!Eddie coming back home after touring and he's so touch starved and deprived of you. So, when he comes home he ravishes you. He catches himself asking you if he's too rough and you're thinking he's NOT rough ENOUGH because you're just as deprived of him.
I hope have a winter/December and a great new year!
thank you angel! and you know what? because you've all enjoyed our rockstar eddie christmas request week, i'll give you guys one last fic. don't worry if i didn't answer yours. i will do them all i either A. just didn't get round to it or B. want to do it at a certain point cos i need to cover some other plots first
three fucking weeks (rockstar eddie x reader) 3.6k / mega smut from start to finish / fluff
this is for everyone who got involved in the xmas request week because of that, i've hit 700 followers. so here is my biggest smut fic yet before rockstar eddie goes on hiatus for a couple of weeks. this one ends on a cliffhanger! but you might want to refer to here to work it out... maybe then you'll also know what happens in the next fic
you can see all rockstar eddie x reader stories and lore at #enam3ls rockstar eddie or the masterlist! and check out my new series love, lola
 February 1993. 
The last words you'd heard from Eddie were muffled from the other side of a bad telephone line. Although the sound warped by the the airport's tannoy and bustling passengers, you heard his lust filled words clear as day. 
 'The second I get home, I'm going to ruin that pretty little pussy.' 
Three weeks since you'd seen Eddie. Three long arduous weeks since you had felt his touch. Corroded Coffin stowing away in a Joshua Tree music studio, hoping the barren surroundings would inspire new music. The writing process intermittently broken up by a series of gigs at intimate venues around California. Back in New York, the greatest city in the world had become the dullest in Eddie's absence. With damn Steve having swept your best friend off her feet you hadn't even anyone else to occupy your free time. Between your working hours, you'd managed to rearrange the bedroom, paint the living room and spend your months wages in retail therapy. But finally your boy was coming home and you couldn't lie, you were fucking horny. 
Left to your own devices for the best part of a month, no toy compared to Eddie. Your touch incomparable to the sparks he could ignite on your skin with just a featherlight stroke. Vibrator redundant now your body knew the sensation of Eddie's mouth humming against your clit. Dildo a mere cheap imitation of the way Eddie overwhelmingly filled your holes perfectly. By now the flight had landed, it was just a waiting game until he came through that door and you could show him how much you missed him. 
The front door slams open, handle cracking into the wall, sure to leave a dent but Eddie didn't care - he was eager. 
'Sweetheart, I'm homeee!' he sings. 
Bags carelessly discarded on the floor, all he can think about is being back in your arms. 
'Baby? I'm back!!' he shouts again. 
Eddie strips his jacket and kicks off his boots, giving you a chance to reply but to no avail. 
'Y/N? What the fuck, where are you...'
When entering the apartment, he'd been too excited to even realise the lights were off, the entire place seeming desolate. Socked feed pad along the hardwood floors as he moves further into your shared home. Kitchen? Empty. Bathroom? Empty. Study? Empty. It's only as he catches himself from slipping that Eddie notices a trail of petals leading from the front door into the bedroom, where the door sits ajar. Too wrapped up in wanting to see you, he'd failed to notice. Now he realises a soft glow seeping through the cracks. Grinning in anticipation as he pushes the door open. 
'Mother of god,' Eddie gasps as if the wind had been knocked out of his lungs. 
The lights are dimmed low, only aided by candlelight which together illuminates your reclining figure on the bed. His eyes scan your body, drinking in the sight he'd been longing for. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that sight could improve. Your cute toes wiggle in black stockings that travel up your legs and cut off at the meat of your thigh. Even with your legs crossed, Eddie can see a tiny black material that barely covers your pussy. Then your torso is adorned in a black bustier, hooks travelling up to where a deep v cut finished below your sternum; breasts spilling out of the ruffled cups. His cock twitches at the thought of ripping the hooks open. Your neck and collarbones are exposed, soft, delicate skin waiting to be marked by his lips. And then there's your face. Eyes sparkling at him, full of lust and love. Mouth struggling to keep a grin at bay. The face he went to sleep thinking about every night, woke up from dreams about and spent the day with it in mind as he tried to write music. Your arm reaches out, hand beckoning Eddie forward. 
'Hi Eds. I missed you... too much.' 
Your head nods down to his crotch now. Too lost in the vision before him, Eddie hadn't noticed the way his cock had hardened to the point of straining against his jeans. 
'I think you should probably take your clothes off and come and say hello,' you smirk. 
Instantly, he's scrambling. Head barely able to form a coherent thought aside from how he needs to touch you right now. T-shirt flings to one side of the room and socks to another. 
'Sweetheart... I - fuck. You look like a dream. I'm scared I'm still on that fucking flight or delirious in the stupid desert,' Eddie pants as he scrambles with the buckle of his jeans. The second his aching cock springs free you let out an inadvertent moan. As soon as his body is entirely freed of fabric constraints, he's hurling himself onto the bed and crawling up towards you. 
Eddie's lips kiss every inch of you as he moves upwards. His lips need to reacclimatise to the body he knows better than his own. Kisses pressed from the tips of your toes, your kneecaps, covering your thick thighs and then lingering on your poorly concealed cunt. He hisses as he leans in towards your mound, able to smell your arousal. Lips kiss the satin fabric of your thong and the skin it fails to cover. You're unable to stop your hips from involuntarily bucking as soon as he's near the place that's longed for him. Eddie's hands find yours and your fingers intwine, both of you gripping tightly at the other. Desperate to never let the other slip away for such a prolonged period again. Kisses litter up your sternum then across your pushed up cleavage. Once he reaches the plains of your collar and neck, Eddie indulges himself. Lips sucking marks onto the skin that's looking far too bare due to his absence. Teeth nipping gently causing those giggles that make his heart and cock swell. And finally, your faces are level, his hovering above yours. 
The pair of you just stare for a moment. Absorbing the person you'd both been lost without; reacquainting with every freckle, blemish or fleck of colour in each eye. Both of your hands have traveled up to cradle the other's face. Your fingers twirl the curls that frame Eddie's face, pushing them away so you can fully appreciate your pretty boy. 
'My pretty boy, I love you.'
Your noses rub against each other. Even this close, vision slightly obscured, you can see the blush that creeps up on his cheeks at the nickname. 
'I love you too, sweetheart. Gone crazy without you.'
Humming in agreement, you tug at his hair. 
'Feral,' you whine. 
Eddie chuckles in a warm, sexy way that travels to your core. His eyes look down at your body beneath him, admiring again the outfit you'd chosen. Retracting a hand from your face, travelling it down your side before he slides it between your thighs. The string of the thong wet with your arousal as he pulls it from between your lips, then pings it back. The brief contact making you whine. 
'Yep, I think you are feral, my love. Think I oughta do something 'bout that.' 
'Plea-'
Your plea is cut off as Eddie's lips crush into yours. The sweet kisses that had covered your body are gone, replaced by desperate wet ones. It's seconds before the kisses are open mouths, tongues flicking against each other. Hips pressing towards the other, frantically seeking friction. Both of you whine into each others mouth as you begin to hump. You push your hips up, legs spread achingly apart to trap Eddie between. In return, he presses hard against you. Thick length bearing down on your clit, occasionally sliding between your wet pussy. You're both groaning and grinding, transformed once more into hormonal teenagers and whilst it's good, it's not enough. 
'Gotta stop,' Eddie pants, 'this isn't - isn't how I wanna cum with you.'
You're unable to reply because your teeth are sinked into his shoulder to stifle the embarrassing moans scratching to come out. Never in your life have you been this pent up. Eddie tears his crotch away from yours, crawling back down your body. His hands, rough from weeks of constant guitar practice, firmly grip your thighs, keeping them apart. Doing so causes the thong to ping between the lips of your cunt which are now spread. His tongue flickers over his lips at your glistening wetness.
'Baby she's desperate... going to eat your cute little pussy now, 'kay? Missed her taste.'
You've been stifled by the built up desire, unable to produce anything but pathetic whinnies. But now you grab his hair harshly, yanking his head back up before his tongue can touch you. Wide eyed at your hard tug, Eddie looks up. 
'No!' You snap. 'Spin the fuck around and get on top of me. Need to taste you too.'
The sternness in your voice has the ability to scare him in the way every authority figure has previously failed. Careful not to squash you, Eddie turns around, swinging a leg over so he's straddling you and then slowly reverses until his crotch hovers near your face. Usually you'd be on top so now he's far too aware of his weight. But the firm grip on his ass that tugs him down makes him to cave. Instantly Eddie's thick cock is bottoming out in your throat. Tears well in your eyes but you groan, pleased that his taste and smell now dominate your senses. 
The luring natural musk of his skin and the slight salted taste of precum that had beaded on his tip. 
The moment he sinks into your mouth, his teeth sink into the dough of your thigh - the pleasure sudden and overwhelming for him.
'Oh fuck-' Eddie sobs into your skin as you adjust and start to bob your head up and down his length. 
Resting on his knees allows him to thrust in time with your movements, fucking his cock into your warm mouth. Eddie dives his face into your cunt, hand lifting away the thong that prevents him from burying his tongue deep into your folds. Humming at the taste he's been dreaming of for weeks. The vibrations cause you to gargle against his dick. After a few swipes of his tongue, lapping up the pool of arousal that had formed, he finds your clit. Tongue flickering over the enlarged bud, already feeling better than your fingers and vibrator had. Instantly, you spread your legs wider, granting him more access. Now he latches on, suckling at your clit desperately. The pair of you lie there, contorted to suck feverishly at the most sensitive parts of each other's body. It's overwhelmingly intimate and carnal. Something neither of you would've done for any previous lover. 
Now, Eddie lets his hand travel towards your hole that he knows is begging to be filled. Two large fingers plunge inside your cunt and instantly he feels your walls contract against him, eager to maintain the fullness. Your throat contracts in response as you moan at his fingers penetrating you. Eddie continues his assault on your clit as his fingers fuck into you. The pair of you forlorn in pleasure, you whimpering against his cock as he moans against your clit. Mimicking his movements and desperate to reward him, you bring your hand up to his exposed ass. You grab and knead the fat of his asscheek before letting a finger rub gentle circles round the rim. Immediately, Eddie breaks contact with your clit.
'Oh shit, please, baby, please,' he begs. 
Now you're warmed up, he slips in a third finger. As if to encourage you to go further with your own movements against his hole. You want to coo at his begging but your mouth is too full of his perfect cock. Applying firmer pressure as you circle his hole, you feel him ready. Finally you finger slips into his asshole, it's hot and desperate for attention. Walls pulsating against your finger. 
The pair of you mirror the other now. Fingers fucking into the other at the same pace, growing more brutal by the minute. Your mouths sucking and licking at the other's sensitive spot. Knowing both of you will only last a few minutes at this overwhelming pace, Eddie breaks away. 
'Y/N we gotta stop. I'm so close and I need to fuck you. Sweetheart, I gotta be inside you'.   
Eddie pulls himself out of your mouth, allowing you to instantly gasp for the extra air his thickness had been blocking. He moves back so your eyes can meet again, large warm hand cupping your cheek. 
'You okay?'
You nod as you catch your breath. 
'Yeah, Eds. Please, please fuck me. I need to cum,' you beg. Unbothered at the slight patheticness to your tone. 
Eddie removes your thong entirely now. 
'We both know that was doing nothing,' he laughs. 
Without guidance, you're putting your legs over his shoulders; an unsubtle hint that you need him now and you need him deep. He takes his length and lines himself up with your entrance. Then, three weeks of longing are broken as he thrusts into you. Too overwhelmed with wanting to even slowly enter you. Eddie is instantly bottoming out, balls pressed to your asshole as you wail at finally being filled. 
'Oh jesus - yes Eddie!' 
The volume and anguish in your moan takes even him back. He's never heard you be this desperate and it triggers something primal in him. Instantly he's thrusting into you fast and hard. Each unrelenting push jiggling your breasts further out the corset. 
'God I missed - ugh - this tight little pussy,' he grunts. 
You need even more. Your fingers yank at the hooks of the top until it parts and your tits finally spill out. Eddie moans at the sight. Instinctively, he's latching onto your hard nipples, folding your body in half to do so. Now he's sucking at your breast and fucking you deeper and it's still not enough. You're greedy in a way you've never been before. Making their way around his back, one hand finds his head, pushing him close to your breasts as your nails scratch his scalp. The other hand seeks his ass, squeezing it until you retract your touch and then crack your palm hard against his soft cheek. 
Instantly Eddie bolts up from your chest, staring at your eyes, wild. The warm chocolate of his iris, eclipsed by blown out pupils. 
'Did you just fucking spank me, sweetheart?' he chokes out. 
Now he's upright you're no longer able to reach so you seek a new method of showing him how you want it. Your hand now clutches at his throat, Adam's apple bobbing against the stretch of skin between your spread thumb and forefinger. 
'Yes and I'll do it again.'
You sound like a brat and you have no remorse. Three weeks of pent up frustration is now rearing its head. Eddie puts his hand over yours and squeezes it, encouraging you to tighten the grip at his throat. He's continuing to fuck you but his pace has slowed, intrigued by this turn. 
'Sweetheart,' he coos, 'what has gotten into you? I like it.'
With one hand flexing across his throat, your free one takes his and pulls it to your mound. Encouragingly placing it over your clit. Grinning, Eddie's fingers rub firm circles over it as he languidly thrusts into your cunt. Although at a slow pace, his cock plunges deep into you. Hitting the sweetest, most filling spot and then dragging torturously along it. The movements have your hard exterior crumbling and whining under him. 
'You- you were gone... I was... was so fucking horny. Couldn't c-cum,' you're gasping now. Eddie's motions along with the way the chocolate of his eyes appears molten at your confessions. 
'Not with you. Needed you... Eddie. Tried everything.' 
He bends down to give you a deep kiss. Years together and yet he remains in shock that you need him as much as he needs you. He hopes this kiss will wipe away your cute little pout. 
'Couldn't even play with your toys?' he murmurs, intoxicated by how fucked out you look beneath him. You shake your head, hands wrapped around his neck, thumbs stroking his skin. 
'Okay, baby. I'll make you cum, yeah?'
'Please Eds,' you beg. 
The smile that appears from hearing your pleas is heartaching. Then he starts concentrating on thrusting into you again. Speeding up his movements, languid pace abandoned. But it's not enough, the earlier momentum lost. 
'No,' your hands tighten on his throat, 'like before. Harder.'
'It wasn't too hard?'
The nails that dig into his Adam's apple tell him the answer before you do. 
'No. I want you to make me fucking cry.'
'Fuck, fuck baby, yeah okay.'
Instantly Eddie is folding you again, arms braced either side of your head as he towers over. Your knees press up near your shoulders. His pace quickens, fucking you senseless. The drawn out process of this evening has left you dripping. Sounds of wetness filling the room as he plunges back into you each time. 
'Hear that fucking sound, best music I ever heard,' he groans. 
Your hand seeks his ass again and you repeat your earlier actions. Spanking him again. The crack against his skin ringing even louder than the squelch of your cunt. 
'Oh fuck yeah,' Eddie cries, 'again.' 
The spanking repeats, each time you do it, his pace somehow quickens. Your clit is throbbing now, aching for touch again. You hand wedges between your bodies and you whimper as you relieve the ache. 
'Wait,' Eddie's shifting over you, 'from behind, wanna fuck you from behind. Only I get to play with your clit.' 
His voice is strained, you know he's at the edge of cumming. Eddie gets off the bed, standing and tugging your ass towards him once you're on your knees. The moment he slams back into you, your back caves into a deep arch and you both moan. 
'Yes, that's it!' he cries. 
Eddie wraps his arm under you, finding your clit and continuing his assault. Fingers pressing harder and covering a greater expanse than you ever could. The fast circles in time with his cock fucking into you. From behind he goes deeper, pressing against that one spot with growing frequency. 
'More,' you demand. 
He leans forward until his mouth latches onto your shoulder. Like this, he's prevented from pulling out far and instead it feels as if he's humping you. It's dirty and animalistic and it's what you needed. 
'Ed, I'm close.' 
His teeth sink into you now causing you to cry out, giving you exactly what you asked for. 
'Look at you... fuckin mess sweetheart... all cos you couldn't get my cock.' 
The tightness in your abdomen increases and Eddie feels how your cunt clenches round him like a warning. 
'Shit,' you cry 'please please come inside me.' 
Eddie instantly pulls you up so your back is flush against his chest. Fingers still toying your clit that has begun to ache from stimulation. His free arm wraps around you too, hand shaking around your throat to gently grip. Plush lips seek out your neck, pressing encouraging kisses as you near your climax. 
'Don't you worry baby...' he grunts against your neck. 
'Daddy is going to fill you up good.'
The nickname pushes you over
'Eddie,' you cry as you come. Three weeks have of build up, only worsened by tonight's teasing, come shattering down in a climax. 
'Holy fuck y/n,' Eddie chokes. 
He's realised before you and it takes you a moment to clock that you've squirted. Spraying over Eddie's cock and the sheets. He grunts like a feral beast at the sensation. An additional wet warmth showering over him alongside the tight clench of your spasming pussy. He takes a few more drawn out thrusts, sloppy from your cum. 
'Three... weeks... worth!' 
Eddie moans your name as his comes after his final word. You feel the heat squirt up inside you and he suddenly jerks, shooting out another load deep inside. 
'Oh jesus...' Eddie whimpers as he humps at you again, 'there's more.' 
And again another burst paints your insides. Instantly you flop forward, exhausted. A subconscious part of you whispers to make sure his spend stays buried in your cunt. 
Eddie watches as you wriggle back up to the pillows, collapsing with a sigh. Knees bent, keeping your hips angled up. He crawls onto the bed and opens your legs to take in the view. Pussy puffy and blushing and completely full of his cum. 
'Tryna keep me in there?' He chuckles. 
'Yes,' you blush. 
Bringing his forehead to rest against your knee he groans. 
'Fuck sweetheart, don't tell me that. My balls ache from how much I just came but you'll get me hard again.'
The desperate look in his eyes makes you chuckle. You tug him on top of you, his head falling to your chest. Stroking his sweat matted curls, you cradle his face. Littering kisses all over him as he hums in content. 
'I missed you so much Eddie. It physically hurt.'
'I know, Y/N,' he looks up at you smirking, 'could tell. But I missed you too. Missed home.' 
Eddie snuggles into your chest. Exhausted by the sex and blissed out in your arms. This is where he belongs, always. He's certain he'll fall asleep here for the night. The question he was going to ask on his arrival will surely have to wait til tomorrow. But it's okay, he's been waiting since October - so what harm is another day?

Sylvester Stallone, Cliffhanger (1993)

I turn 30 next year and have plotted out 30 films from 1993 I want to watch before then, because I face everything in life by making quirky lists. Most will be first-time watches.
Highest-grossing films of 1993:
Jurassic Park
Mrs. Doubtfire
The Fugitive
Schindler’s List
The Firm
Indecent Proposal
Cliffhanger
Sleepless in Seattle
Philadelphia
The Pelican Brief
Others:
Matinee
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II
Leprechaun
Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
Dead Alive
The Crying Game
My Neighbor Totoro
Carnosaur
Super Mario Bros. (extended)
Orlando
Last Action Hero
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
The Dark Half
Needful Things
Demolition Man
And the Band Played On
The Nightmare Before Christmas
We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story
Rex: A Dinosaur’s Story
Prehysteria
Good window into a. the wide range of films that used to be able to make big money at the box office (that top-ten list contains one genre film and zero sequels) and b. the sheer number of dinosaur movies that rode Jurassic Park's coattails.
Also, while I landed on watching 30 movies from '93 for cutesy reasons, I won't crumble into ash if I see more, so suggest away!

Action January: Omnibus
Tumblr media
As I prepare for the future of this blog (and there is a future, if anybody's wondering), I find myself looking back at the good times, when I had the time to watch a movie a day and write a blog about it, which...yeah, wasn't even sustainable for me in 2021, so make of that what you will. ANYWAY, I decided that I would bring all of these posts together in an omnibus of sorts, so anybody that wanted to read these posts could find them all easily in one place. This, alongside other archives, are going to be pinned to the top of my page, and will serve as a long index of the films in the appropriate genres. The goal? To extend these archives as I go along, and have this running index for my blog. And again...there will be additions...
SO! With that, feel free to check out these films in the action genre, which remains one of my favorites! Any films you'd like to see in this list? Comment, reblog, message me, whatever! I'm always open to suggestions to add to my ever-building master list. And check out the other indices to come!

Sonic the Hedgehog Timeline
Sonic the Hedgehog Timeline 2.0
INTRODUCTION
With the release of Sonic Frontiers, I decided that I’d go and revamp an old timeline I made all the way back in 2019, a whole three years ago. It is worth noting that this was written before Sonic Frontiers was released, so despite my best attempts any errors regarding Frontiers will be a direct result of that fact.
While Sonic Frontiers did leak, and information detailed from those leaks were used for the timeline, this timeline will not feature any spoilers from Sonic Frontiers itself, so feel free to read through the timeline if you are worried about spoilering yourself.
Some important notes before we begin.
Note 1: The following games are considered non-canon, and information detailed within will not be considered as a result:
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine: explicitly sets itself in the “Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog” canon.
Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball (both versions): is part of the US Sonic canon, which was discontinued starting with Sonic Adventure’s release. This includes details such as Dr. Robotnik’s design, the setting’s name of Mobius, and the appearance of characters introduced in the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon series (known as Sonic SatAM), such as Sally Acorn. Also there’s 16 Chaos Emeralds lol.
Sonic the Fighters: The addition of an 8th Chaos Emerald contradicts information established as early as Sonic 3.
A majority of the games for the “Sonic Cafe” service from 2001 to 2007, due to lacking any kind of plot associated with them.
Sonic X (Leapster): … Obviously. Even beyond that, it explicitly sets itself in the “Sonic X” continuity.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: … The entire sub-franchise, obviously.
Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood: between research issues, an unresolved cliffhanger ending, being the target of a cold legal case in real life, and being confirmed non-canon in the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclospeedia, this game being considered non-canon is just a result of a lot of factors piling up.
Any of the Sonic Boom Games, due to being part of the Sonic Boom continuity.
Any media that doesn’t have any kind of plot will be excluded, as, put simply, there’s nothing to add in the first place.
Note 2: This timeline uses a cameo in Sonic Generations (specifically, Mighty and Ray being listed as “missing since 1993”) as a basis for the dating system, which is otherwise completely arbitrary. A cameo is a weak argument, but it will be used anyways due to lack of a contradiction.
Note 3: The ages of all characters operate under the assumption that it is accurate as of Sonic Adventure. This is done due to the ageless nature of characters making it hard to get a true accurate measure of the timeline, as the characters are treated as always being the same age no matter how much time passes by, including literal birthdays. This also makes every character’s relative age the same.
Note 4: This timeline is constructed using the current Sonic the Hedgehog canon, which prior to Sonic Adventure was Japan only canon. As a result, classic entries will exclusively use their Japanese versions for information, and entries from Adventure onwards will show bias towards the language that the game’s narrative was written in.
Note 5: Time travel usually doesn’t allow for changes to the timeline. However, sometimes this isn’t the case and will instead create a new timeline, where both timelines will continue to exist. Things that erase time (such as the Time Eater or Solaris) will not create a new timeline, instead altering the current one. As such, I will only detail alternate timelines if explicitly shown to us.
Note 6: Occam’s Razor will be applied in this timeline for simplicity’s sake, meaning that release order will be the default consideration, and alterations are only made if release order doesn’t work for one reason or another.
Note 7: due to inconsistencies between people who have written for Sonic games, developed Sonic games, and literal figureheads in Sonic Team, alongside the behind-the-scenes policy of the franchise canon being in a constant state of flux, this timeline will exclusively include sources from the media and miscellaneous documents, no statements from Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuka, Ian Flynn, or the like will be used. (The most notable inconsistency being the literal decade where Takashi Iizuka, head of Sonic Team, insisted that the franchise was actually set on Two Worlds despite there being a large amount of contradictions to that very claim) Source
Note 8: sometimes I use the lunar cycle to determine the timeframe of a particular game. While technically I could use this to work out the time of many Sonic games by syncing the moon appearances up to the timeline, I have chosen not to do this for one major reason: the moon is incredibly inconsistent. Half of it was blasted off, only to be forgotten in the next game, blasted again with no damage done to it, and occasionally there’s just straight up two of them instead of one. So I’ve only treated it as reliable within the context of individual games, and not game to game.

Sonic Advance 3
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
Anything that warrants further elaboration will be detailed when it becomes relevant.

ANCIENT ERA
Unknown Time Period
Illumina created the Precioustone out of a piece of herself, which created Maginaryworld
Circa 4,540,000,000 BCE (assuming that Earth came into being at the same time)
The planet came into being. Light Gaia and Dark Gaia also came into being, hypothesised to be a result of the planet’s will itself. The two would frequently clash over the millions of years of the planet’s lifetime.
Circa 1,000,000,000 BCE
The jungle known as Meta Junglira first came into being.
Circa 18,000 BCE (likely earlier)
(Sonic Frontiers spoilers, go play the game yourself to learn what happened)
Light Gaia and Dark Gaia have their second most recent clash over the planet, dubbed the Time of Awakening.
The Gaia Manuscripts are created in the interim, detailing various facts like the gaia temples, the Chaos Emeralds, and Dark Gaia. Light Gaia is almost completely unrecognised.
Unknown Time Period
The residents of Westside Island discover the Chaos Emeralds, and use them to develop their civilization and achieve prosperity. However, when they began to abuse their power, their prosperity vanished overnight.
Sources 1, 2, 3.
Translated source
[Officially Unofficial information] The tribes of Be’en and Kalow were eagerly waiting their lands unifying into one, their tribes planning on uniting into one as a result. But when Little Planet appeared over Kalow’s Never Lake for the first time, the two tribes descended into war. Eventually discovering the Time Stones on Little Planet, both tribes used them and ended up wiping each other out from time. The two islands then met and merged into one.
[Officially Unofficial information] When future settlers landed on the land, it was named Mirage Island, sensing the remnants of what once remained.

Circa 9,000 BCE (assuming that Plato’s telling of Atlantis is the same as in real life)
The continent of Atlantis sinks into the ocean
Circa 2,000 BCE
Gizoid is created by the 4th Great Civilisation as the ultimate weapon of war (Gizoid meaning “all”, a nod to its copying skills). However, with all 7 Chaos Emeralds Gizoid wound up destroying the 4th Great Civilisation before becoming inactive.
Circa 1,894 BCE (assuming that the Babylonians arrival on Earth is equivalent to the real life formation of the Old Babylonian Empire)
The ancient Babylonians ended up crashing their space station onto Earth after forced ejection of their power source. Over time, their technology was integrated with the locals of the planet, eventually fading into myth and legend.
Circa 1,000 BCE (likely earlier)
Sonic Comic (Sonic Channel) Act 24: Hide and Seek
The Knuckles Clan, led by chief Pachacamac, mounted an assault against the Chaos Emerald shrine, despite the protest of the chief’s pacifist daughter, Tikal.
The guardian of the Master Emerald, Chaos, is enraged at the attack on the innocent chao surrounding the shrine, and absorbs the 7 Chaos Emeralds and deals heavy damage to the Knuckles Clan, to such an extreme that the echidna population will die out in 3,000 years. Tikal sacrifices herself to seal herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald.
After the incident, the remaining Echidnas rise the island up into the sky, forming Angel Island.
First known appearance of the Master Emerald

Source for the date (translated)
Circa 1 BCE (likely earlier)
Black Doom’s earliest known appearance, where he hid a Black Arms fleet within a desert in an unknown location on the planet.
Circa 476 CE (likely earlier)
The sceptre of darkness was researched and understood well enough to have been recorded down, including how to create it.
“When black flame lights the Candle of Darkness and the priest’s prayers are answered, the dark seal will be no more, and so shall emerge the power.”
Circa 499 CE
The first ever Soleanna Water Target Tournament is held.
Circa 800 CE
Alf Layla, arabic for “The Thousand Nights”, was made in Arabic, out of a collection of various different stories (going off of the probable real life origin of the One Thousand and One Nights). Later adaptations would ultimately add new stories or change existing ones, including Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, eventually resulting in one named Alf-Layla wa-Layla, arabic for The One Thousand and One Nights.
961-962 CE
Master Zik is born
Source
Circa 1136 CE
Historia Regnum Britaniae (History of the Kings of Britain) was made in medieval English (going off of the real life origin of King Arthur). Later adaptations would expand to the world and the lore, including the character of Sir Lancelot, eventually resulting in one named King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Maria Robotnik is born
Circa 1930 CE (possibly 1931)
Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik is born
Source
Circa 1940 CE
Professor Gerald discovers the Gizoid in an old warehouse, and begins studying it, learning of its basic capabilities and hypothesises that it destroyed the Fourth Great Civilisation.
The then-current President of the United Federation contacted Professor Gerald Robotnik to develop work on immortality. Gerald initially refuses, believing it to be crossing the limits of man, but upon realising that this research could be used to cure Maria Robotnik’s Neuro Immune Deficiency Disorder (or N.I.D.S.), Gerald agrees to the project. The project would come to be known as Project Shadow, and the target came to be developing the Ultimate Lifeform.
The initial prototype, named the Biolizard, was a promising result at first, achieving growth, healing, and self-replication. But a critical flaw was found as the creature grew beyond expectations, becoming too big to sustain itself and requiring a life support system be attached, and causing a rampage throughout the space colony.
A chance contact with a comet flying by has Gerald making a deal with the leader of the civilisation known as the Black Arms: Black Doom. Black Doom lends some of his blood to assist Gerald in developing the second version of the Ultimate Lifeform. In exchange, the Ultimate Lifeform will deliver the 7 Chaos Emeralds to Black Doom the next time the black comet passes by.
Desperate to avoid his funding being cut prior to completion of Project: Shadow, Gerald hands over his Gizoid project to GUN in order to secure funding. He orders Gizoid to not absorb any dangerous technology, but still fears the repercussions.
The Ultimate Lifeform is complete, but a young child spots Gerald speaking with Black Doom as the Ultimate Lifeform, named Shadow, awakens. Maria befriends Shadow, and the two become close friends. Gerald later learns that Black Doom aims to destroy the planet, and in desperation develops the Eclipse Cannon in order to destroy the comet when it returns.
The Gizoid goes out of control and causes heavy damage to the ARK. Gerald reclaims it and attempts to destroy the machine, but is unsuccessful. He then shifts focus on attempting to reprogram it, putting in code to either pacify it or cause it to self terminate.
The Guardian Units of Nations, or G.U.N., raid the space colony under the pretence of there being an accident, first evacuating personel not associated with Project Shadow over the course of 7 days. They then murdered any and every personnel working on Project Shadow, and evacuated the rest down to the surface, before capturing Professor Gerald and labelling him as responsible for the accident. Maria is murdered, but manages to send Shadow down an escape pod down to Earth.
In complete secrecy, Shadow is captured on Earth and sent to Prison Island, where Gerald successfully finishes a failsafe program in Emerl, using Maria’s last words as the passcode. Overtime, he loses his sanity from grief and attempts to seek revenge on the planet, modifying Shadow’s memories while he’s in status, remotely reprogramming the Eclipse Cannon to collide with Earth if all 7 Chaos Emeralds are installed, and - most impressively - sets it so that his own execution video where he explains his plan gets transmitted to the ARK, stored, and replayed if the plan ever comes to fruition. You know, the video that would need to be recorded as he dies.

While Sonic Origins contradicts this game by virtue of implying Tails had never flown before, I’m willing to chalk this up to a minor continuity error rather than outright de-canoninising the game as a result.

Sonic runs around in Green Hill (Sonic Generations). Classic Tails is seemingly nearby, so he should be back from his adventure.
Sonic Generations 3DS confirms that classic Sonic was a split timeline after the events of Sonic Generations, meaning that Forces merely confirms that a split timeline is in fact its own universe (supported by Crisis City being erased from time by the Time Eater as well - meaning it would need to still exist to be erased). As such the pre-split events of Sonic Generations would still need to happen.
The classic Sonic split timeline will be made at a later date.

A Sonic Unleashed timeline will be made in the future, as this one’s complex primarily due to timezones.
Currently, the timeframe given is based off of the various moon phases presented during the game, and assuming that Sonic’s mandatory progression through the night stages is accurate to those moon phases. It also assumes that missions which must be done at night are done in accordance to those moon phases.

Eggman’s attempting to “rebuild” Eggmanland, and the only time it was ever built was during Sonic Unleashed, placing this game afterwards.

While this game does take place in outer space, the amusement park is still connected to Earth via a giant tower, therefore progression in time from the Earth should still be accurate for determining the overall time spent.

As the majority of the game takes place outside of time, visiting events from the past, all that’s relevant for this date is that it’s Sonic’s birthday.

Team Sonic Racing (start)
Thanks to TailsTube, this has to take place before Sonic Forces, as this game had already happened but it was not Eggman’s most recent act in his goal of world domination.
The large gap in days can be attributed mainly to many tracks exclusively taking place at specific times of days, alongside accounting for cases where the plot can happen over two different locations.

Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence
Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Divergence (start)
Given that Knuckles was teleported, it suggests that the difference in time was a result of the distance between Angel Island and the Starfall Islands. Approximating from the sunlight and the moon’s position, they’re likely on near-opposing timezones.

If you’re seeing this, I was unable to figure out an approximate time frame before the end of this adventure. That being said, the real time change between day and night would likely make this task difficult, if not outright impossible.

FUTURE ERA
Circa 2100 CE
Dr. Eggman Nega is born 60+ years prior to Silver’s year
Circa 2200 CE
Silver the Hedgehog is born 14 years prior to Silver’s year
Circa 2200 CE - “Silver’s Year”
I don’t know what to put here because there’s a bare minimum of four different futures here: the 06 future, the Rivals to pre-TSR future, the TSR to pre-Forces future, and the Forces future (which we won’t know anything about until Silver arrives from the future once more)
I guess I can cover the non-06 timelines since none of them will warrant their own document.
Timeline 3: Dr. Eggman Nega either invents or steals his special camera, and promptly travels backwards in time. Silver follows back to stop him, preserving the timeline and returning with Dr. Eggman Nega. Dr. Eggman Nega manages to once again escape, prompting Silver to once again stop him, this time returning without (as Eggman Nega was left abandoned in the Ifrit’s dimension circa 200 years ago). Silver routinely leaves, first to check out Eggman’s Intersteller Amusement Park (Sonic Colours), then when the Time Eater was dealing damage to timelines 1, 3, and 4 (Sonic Generations), to stop Eggman from kidnapping animals (Sonic Jump (2012), help Sonic and the crew take the Master Emerald back from Dr. Eggman (Sonic Dash S), and hang out at Sonic’s birthday (Sonic Runners: Birthday on Windy Hill). Then he got an invitation to Dodon Pa’s race taking place 200 years ago, delivered via time travel. For some reason, this visit changes the timeline?
Timeline 4: Silver arrives to learn of a ruined future, but with all of the information contained within either being missing or not making any sense, Silver went back to avert the catastrophe.
Timeline 5: … who knows.
There’s an argument for even more timelines, depending on if Silver’s actions in Rivals 2 are proof of a new timeline or if he’s just worrying about what could be. I haven’t included them as timelines for that reason, but if included they could increase the count even more.
Oh, and don’t forget about Little Planet prior to Eggman taking over (and the officially unofficial war between the tribes of Be’en and Kalow), that could possibly add additional timelines into the mix depending on how the Time Stones’ time travel works.
That’s it, that’s the timeline. Here’s hoping that you’ll be able to enjoy Sonic Frontiers when you get around to playing it!

For more than 70 years, filmmakers have been reusing the sound of a particular scream. Many people even know it by name—the Wilhelm Scream.
“The scream is usually used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion.” It first appears in the 1951 Western “Distant Drums.” It appears in the 1954 “A Star Is Born,” “Star Wars,” “Toy Story” and on and on in many, many movies, TV shows and video games.
The actor who voiced the scream was likely Sheb Wooley, who also voiced the 1958 hit novelty song “The Purple People Eater.”
I listened to this podcast episode about the Wilhelm Scream Friday morning. That night, we watched the 1993 Sylverster Stallone movie “Cliffhanger” and I’m pretty sure I heard the Wilhelm Scream in it.
