I’m guessing the “no mixing classic and modern Sonic character rosters/designs” restriction that Sega has for the series is still in place- at least for the base roster. There’s a chance for Fang to appear in the free DLC, though.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Strangely, it's people who liked or at least better tolerated their parents -or were better able to see though any of their genuine hypocrisy and idiocy to call them on it- that are better at seeing through Trump's BS.

It's the same principles on younger people defying their parents, even when a parent is genuinely giving a helping hand with no catch. "I barely tolerated listening to my folks boss me around- I'm not listening to YOU stiffs anymore! I'm listening to the guy who wants me to have fun!"

The casual people of this world just hate smart people. It gives casual people a rush to defy or argue against smart people... even if a smart person is giving the most logical, empathetic heads-up possible. A mix of self-sabotage, sado-machoism and a dislike of being told what to do.

I think actively refusing to consider certain Mario source material that's built on the world of the games a viable option for Mario roster spinoffs IS an unreasonable mindset, and i'm tired of the fandom treating me like i'm irrational for saying that.

Really depends. If you own an older not-easily-rippable version of something (VHS, cartridge based games), I see no moral wrongness to the act of finding it another way. In addition, if you’re making a genuine effort to find and pay for a legal but it doesn’t exist, then that’s a grey decision.

Second wave of searching- the Project 2025 document itself. Results- he's not among the 34 AUTHORS!!! in the document, nor is he mentioned in the Contributors list. 0 for 2 right now. Starting to think this is an unfortunate coincidence, and David Baszucki is just too big-headed.
Derek Neves (@derekneves77.bsky.social) reply parent
First wave of searching- basic (Google and Wikipedia). Results- I can't find anything from these sites linking David Baszucki to Project 2025. None of his groups are listed in Project 2025's donor list on Wikipedia, and nobody has brought him up.

However, I would need hard proof and research with links, before saying for sure and with utter confidence whether this is the case. For now, this is just a suspicion to bookmark.

It really seems like a simple search would directly connect David Baszucki to that dystopian plan. Maybe he's one of the sponsors, or is a member of a Project 2025-focused donor group. IF he were, it would mean this is all a set-up, and he's intentionally messing up Roblox to ensure KOSA is passed.
Derek Neves (@derekneves77.bsky.social)
Regarding the Roblox controversy and the timing of it related to the global online ID bills, something about the CEO's over-defensiveness is off. I feel like David Baszucki is connected to Project 2025 somehow (whether part of authoring it or being a donor) with how precisely co-ordinated this is.

You Americans are going to HAVE to cut the Gordian knot on this, by outright capturing Trump minimum and transporting him somewhere his followers can’t find him. Study his travel routes, see if there’s a consistent weekly or daily vulnerable point in his travel plans, and nab him then.

The best move is to wait until a large amount of the ringleaders in this dictatorship (Trump, Vance, Thiel, Vought, Noem, Miller and Roberts) are known to gather in one less-protected spot again. Have multiple waves of willing/able people to divert/draw any guards away. Then do what must be done.

Furthermore, Trump’s starting to become a liability to the GOP. He also has mentioned his own failing health. So I wouldn’t put it past the GOP to release/“leak” a file where Trump’s evil is left in, but the bad actions of other bigger players are redacted, just to get Trump out of the way.
Derek Neves (@derekneves77.bsky.social) reply parent
As bad as Trump is, he knows it’s an open secret he’s in there. He could use his presidential immunity to instantly quash the files. That he hasn’t, yet is STILL resorting to all these actions, suggests there’s something or someone FAR more insidious nobody could even guess mentioned in the files.
Derek Neves (@derekneves77.bsky.social) reply parent
Putin not only has the files, but there’s far nastier info and revelations in there regarding who else is involved beyond Trump, Epstein and himself, stretching DECADES. If known, not only would it send a lot of scumbags- public and secret- to jail, but also permanently put an end to Putin’s plans.

On DAY ONE, the next president MUST pardon every single individual charged with "assault" on ICE officers. No conditions. Resisting being kidnapped by masked men in unmarked vehicles is ALWAYS an act of SELF-DEFENSE. Especially given ICE impersonators are RAPING WOMEN RIGHT NOW.

My best guess and biggest suspicion? Some of the other participants and financiers in the Epstein files are people with a positive public image, have been doing this for a very long time, and will keeping funding this trafficking ring even after Trump’s gone- if they’re not found out before then.
Derek Neves (@derekneves77.bsky.social) reply parent
…So Trump STILL trying to bury the Epstein files, even in light of these facts and observations, is odd behaviour. It tells me there’s something FAR worse in the files no-one except him and his inner circle knows about.

And it’s pretty much public knowledge that Trump is in those files. That’s an open (…and disgusting…) secret at this point.

Trump shouldn’t care about the files. He has presidential immunity, (no) thanks to the GOP SCOTUS. Even if he’s in there, he could just use that presidential immunity to go “no, doesn’t legally count” and get off scott free….AGAIN. 😡
