Well, it's official. Sonic Forces is now the first Sonic game I've ever beaten. And, I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. It was a fun game. Could the game have been better? Sure. But it was still really good and really fun as is. I quite like it. I would absolutely recommend it. If you've got it lying around and you haven't touched it, you should go play it. It's not a particularly long game. I finished it in around 4 hours. So, yeah. Go play it. It's pretty good.

Stage 28. What the FUCK is this long precision-platforming autoscroller over a pit of death with no checkpoints doing in my Sonic game, Sega? Seriously. Both precision platforming and autoscroller are antithetical to Sonic games and you decided to fucking combine them?!

Rediscovering the joy of having a folder labelled "Games" in my downloads folder because the games I'm playing aren't on Steam

One of the games I just downloaded and rediscovered the joy in is Trackmania Nations Forever. It's free to play, not very graphically taxing, and basically an auto racing speedrun game. It was basically perfect for me back then. And, well, it's still *really fucking fun*. Like, holy shit. I can see myself getting addicted to this once again, just trying to shave hundredths of a second off a time to get a gold medal. OH IT'S BEAUTIFUL. Sure, it looks like a game out of 2003, but it's fun so 🤷

I think I'm gonna spend the last days of the decade playing some of the games I used to play on my old Toshiba Satellite. That thing was okay, but it was over 5 years old when I was using it back in 2013. It's Radeon X1200 couldn't exactly handle most of the games I wanted to play. So, I found other, less graphically taxing games to play.

2020 is the year we unabashedly like the things we like regardless of what other people think of them

Oh my gods, Sonic Forces works and it works well and AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

It's goood!

I love this game. I absolutely adore this game. It is the game my inner child has always wanted and it. is. glorious.

I mean, yeah, it could be better, but AAAAAAAAAHHH IT'S GOOOOOOD!!!

I've solved my performance issues under Windows. It turns out that Soeedstep was fucked up. Disabling it has *massively* improved performance. Like, fucking, night and day. Suddenly it's running so fucking smoothly, Clone Hero gets around 400 fps with 8x MSAA, and I'm willing to bet I could actually get Sonic Forces to run reasonably well now. It's beautiful.

UPDATE: The CPU is problematic. I don't know why W7 hates my 4th gen Core i7, but it does, so, I'll have to sort that mess out
