Shadow The Hedgehog (2005, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox)

Maddie Blaustein's in it as the voice of the president.

Also, I Am All Of Me is a trans anthem now. It just is! Fuck you!

Holy shit, that's the Maddie Blaustein (rest in peace). I don't know how I didn't know she voiced the President.

For context, Shadow the Hedgehog is a direct sequel to Shadow's story in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Heroes (with a lot of Bush-era war-on-terror themes that just kind of existed in every 00s era game by cultural osmosis). The President has a framed photo of Sonic and Shadow together.

This is funny, but what's even funnier is that this couldn't have happened in canon, even if you consider Sonic Battle as coming before Shadow the Hedgehog and not after. Almost every moment of Shadow's timeline is accounted for, from his introduction, to this moment.

Here are the possibilities:

1. Shadow fell to Earth, amnesiatic, but posed with Sonic in front of the White House before being eggprisoned in his egg-recuperacoon.

2. One of Shadow's clones from Sonic Heroes went on a totally separate adventure as a good guy, and posed with Sonic

3. (prevailing theory) The President himself photoshopped this image of Sonic and Shadow together.

It's really funny to imagine him hunched over a computer, clicking around in Photo Shop.

i love you too flabberghaster. thank u <3

woof

My tongue is long and flexible. I can pick my nose from the inside out, I can touch my tongue to the other end (it starts in a pocket inside your throat.)

You know the olfactory bulb? The spot in your brain famously swabbed with the first few months of covid tests? That's a bundle of nerves some people will say are part of your brain.

I can touch that with my tongue :D

Consider if you were Just to Post it though?

raucous cheers and applause

Oh yeah, the generated voices are the thing I have issue with.

All of deep learning is just function fitting, and perceptively-better interpolations between A and B are things I'm totally cool with.

"BBL Drizzy" is something I hadn't heard about before, but oof. At least, from funny memes I can at least admit that there's a lot of humor that I think can come from using AI generated voices. Like this one, with Halo jokes I've made word-for-word before but made me laugh to hear in a convincing generated voice.

I don't have anything diagnosed, and I don't know if I can claim a sleep disorder. But I can also claim not to remember the last time I had a night of restful sleep!

So, I wish you luck, and will also be looking at this "N24" thing...

I appreciate these updates, I also am desperately trying to find ways to contort my sleep schedule and have had no success. I also tried fractions of melatonin gummies.

aw man they used it in Furiosa :(

we didn't get the absolute dogshit yet

There are three!

:(

and water sports! "no water sports in the pool"? uh, yeah, i sure hope there's none,

his wife has filled the house with chintz....

I was wondering if this was a song lyric of some sort. DuckDuckGo had nothing and I googled it, and Google offered a confident AI overview explaining Apple's products and services.

"Detroit, the pasta city", to refer to Houston Texas

:( Oh that is disappointing... Hoping you can get it sooner rather than later!

i appreciate it <3

i think to be a democrat you have to never acknowledge your own mortality

hope this won't impact his 2028 bid

i forgot to read the article and might not tonight. but perhaps this comment will be enough so that i will remember?

I swear I saw this, like, 20 years ago. I'm happy that it's still around :D

So many delightful olde internet things

WHEN YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS, IT MEANS YOU ARE LYING

well, i don't know whether or not to trust this statement,

Thank you for articulating this better than I could

This is delightful
