It's post time! This year, the Sonic series turned 35 years old. The first game was released in 1991, so this is a big anniversary; especially since the series is still going strong even now. There's a lot of games, shows, movies, and merchandise available now. Which is exciting for fans. But, why has Sonic managed to stay so popular? It's likely because most people find Sonic as children, much like with things like Pokemon. But, like Pokemon, Sega understands that people eventually grow up, so they continue to create Sonic content for both children and adults. Because of this balance, it's likely that the Sonic series will continue to gain popularity over time. Sonic is one of those things that escaped the anime and gaming community early on, which means a lot of different people like it even if they aren't gamers or otakus. As time goes on, I hope Sonic can continue to grow and evolve like it has over time. Happy anniversary Sonic!

What is a Mobian? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! The word Mobian is used to refer to the anthropomorphic animals from the Sonic series. It comes from the word Mobius, which is the name of their home planet in the comics. However, it isn't the official name for them. It's a word fans use because it's easier and more specific than just calling them animals. In the Sonic series, regular animals live alongside the anthropomorphic animals, so calling them all animals would be confusing. It's much easier to call them Mobians, and most Sonic fans will know what you're talking about when you call them this. Even if it isn't the "official" name, it's widely used throughout the Sonic fan base. I think it would be a good idea for Sega to officially adopt the name since fans already use it, but I have no idea if they actually will or not. I hope this clears things up for anyone who didn't know what a Mobian was. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the main complaints about Animal Crossing New Horizons is that you can't interact with anything. Playing cozy games is more fun when you can place things and then interact with those things to see what they do. But in Animal Crossing, you can't do that. It's a big part of why people get bored with the game. Even the stuff you can interact with usually only have one animation and that's it. So if you interact with it once, you're done with it. You can't play on the park equipment, you can't ride the carnival rides, you can't play the arcade games, and you can't even wash your hands or take a bath. These may seem like small things, but the small things are what make games more immersive. Without these, the game gets old, fast. Should there be animations for most of the items? Honestly, yes. In most games like this, you can interact with these objects. It's fun to do even if you've already done it before. It would take more time and effort, but that's what makes a game worth playing. Obviously it's too late to add these things now, which is why it's so disappointing. Nintendo has released other games that let you interact with objects before, so not including it in this game makes it feel even more lazy. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why did Sega remove the character ages in the Sonic series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sonic is one of those series where the timelines are confusing and nothing makes sense if you think about it too hard. However, the ages of the characters have never changed. But, they have. When the series started out, Knuckles and Sonic were 15, and Amy and Tails were 8. Yes, Amy was the same age as Tails. This is a big part of why Sonic didn't like her. But later in the series, they wanted to make Amy Sonic's love interest. So they made her older but kept everyone else the same age, which caused a lot of confusion. There were also a lot of time skips, but none of the characters had aged at all even though time had passed. Eventually nothing made sense anymore, especially since most people already believed Sonic and his friends were adults. So instead of trying to fix it, Sega took the easy path and just removed the information altogether. It confused a lot of fans, but really it makes sense. It was getting too confusing, and aging them up would've been a bit difficult given the timelines. It was also implied from the start that the Mobian characters were older than the ages they were given, maybe because they age differently from humans. But it was easier to just remove the ages than try to explain this. I just wanted to talk about it because some fans are still confused. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

Why are there so many characters in the Sonic The Hedgehog series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! If you play some of the Sonic games that include a large amount of characters, you'll probably notice there are a few you don't recognize. If you're a casual fan, there's probably a lot of characters you don't recognize. So why is this? Well, characters aren't only introduced in the games. They're also added in the shows and comic books. So if you haven't seen these or can't access them for whatever reason, you won't know all of the characters by now. It's really hard to keep up with all of the additions too, since there's often at least a few of them introduced every year or so. This keeps things interesting, but it can make it difficult to keep up with everything. So here's my advice, if you don't want to spend hours or days consuming nothing but Sonic content but you want to know about the characters, just look around, find ones you like, and research them separately. Then you can choose from there if you want to look into the media that they're included in or not. Or you can spend ages consuming nothing but Sonic content. It's your choice. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's Raymond's birthday in Animal Crossing New Horizons! Villager birthdays are small events in this game, and you don't really have to do much for them. However, if you go to their house on their birthday, you can participate in the party by talking to the guests and giving the birthday villager a gift. For Raymond, he likes the colors black and grey, and he likes cool and elegant things. I think it also depends on his hobbies and friendship level, since I gave him a mushroom umbrella and he loved it. If you give them a gift, they'll thank you at the party, and then send you a thank you card the next day. Birthdays are the same for all of the villagers, but it can still be fun to participate in them anyways. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! One of the best things about Date Everything is if you don't know all of the characters' names, a lot of them sound completely fake. It's such a fun joke, and I really like the sense of humor the developers have. I know it takes a lot of time to name so many different characters, but it's so much better that most of them have names that are puns. It must have been a lot harder to make so many pun-based names for this amount of characters. It's just a fun detail that I believe really shows just how much work was put into this game. I do hope they add more stuff like this in the future if they're planning on adding more content later. This game already has a lot of content, so I don't expect them to add more. But if they do, I hope they keep this level of fun in it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
