/sthg/ #625 - This Shit Needs to End Edition
>Link CompilationDrawfag/Writefag Idea WallsNews/Developments
David Edwards
for what purpose
Juan Reyes
What the fuck?
Nolan Peterson
>This Shit Needs to End You mean /sthg/?
Samuel Morgan
The retard shitposting and janitors not doing their jobs properly.
Jack Cook
Swatbot abuse at this point. Some were talking about the aftermath of what happened the past week. Those comments got selectively deleted and then the whole thread.
Didn't we have a board where we could post our complaints about this stuff?
There was no shitposting in the last 30 or so comments. Only commentary about /sthg/ and its posters.
Jace White
Pretty sure that stupid catfucker was complaining about getting banned, had his posts deleted, and then the thread was 404'd when I got there.
Blake Miller
Then they should aim for him and not let the rest suffer. Can't they report him to someone or something for the shit he posts here?
Liam Anderson
IGN intensifies.
Ryder Lee
It's gonna be a while before people find their way back here, huh.
I left for an hour and a half to go save flashes for the archive. WTF happened?
Zachary Brooks
Sitting there for 20 minutes wondering why no one was posting please
Luke Wood
Literally admin abuse
Caleb White
I sometimes wonder if we should just drop the number.
Dominic Rivera
I see no reason to. I'd like to keep track of our progress.
Austin Bailey
>Counting deleted threads
Benjamin Rodriguez
Tell me about your steel donuts and how would they interact with Bump or Sage.
Mason Edwards
I'd rather wonder what Bump's reaction to Classic Sonic would be.
Landon James
Yeah, I'm not counting the thread that got 404'd. I won't retroactively reverse the numbers but I'm not going to keep counting half-threads as if they got archived from auto-saging.
Michael Howard
>Encouraging OC garbage How about no
Logan Stewart
My OC would be incredibly awkward around them, avoiding eye contact and only replying to potential conversation starters with a non-receptive mutter until they walked away.
Jeremiah Harris
>I get to decide which threads count Yeah, no.
Especially at this rate, with what's happening, if we follow that rule, we will never advance.
Plus 2 of the 3 deleted threads almost hit bump limit anyway.
Chase Myers
Don't have one. I'm content with Bump being cute.
Tyler Foster
I'll address the error in the next thread.
Alexander Mitchell
Yeah, I do. I made the thread, so I'll do as I wish to it. I don't believe 404'd threads count as a whole thread so I didn't increase the number.
And if we follow your rule we'll hit 700 in a couple of weeks.
Which is part of the reason I didn't retroactively subtract but that last thread was barely over 400 posts.
Eli Hill
I like the post number because #00 threads are fun. But there's no need to be overly autistic about it. It isn't even accurate in the first place. As long as we're not flying through numbers we'll be okay.
Charles Wood
Good thing you're not in charge. We will fix your Mistake in future threads.
Colton Walker
/sthg/ - numbers
Joshua Walker
>being this autistic about it It's thread 626. It will be corrected in time.
Ethan Ortiz
Except I was, sperg. "Fix" it if you want but I already made my decision. No use crying about it after the fact like a small child.
Liam Morgan
If we're going to talk about numbers, then talk about numbers related to Sonic.
Why are certain numbers in Sonic so special anyway?
7 Emeralds 50 Rings 300 IQ etc.
Asher Wood
Don't get in to number wars. Just don't. Make the next thread #626 and we'll continue from there.
Sebastian Barnes
>Last Thread: N/A
Oh jeez, what did you fuckers do this time?
Jordan Gomez
We went too fast.
Landon Peterson
We questioned things not meant to be known by mortal man.
Hudson Allen
...
Benjamin Flores
>No new posts in the old thread >Figures that it was just going slow >Only to find out it was deleted
What the fuck?
Joshua Hernandez
Okay seriously, what is getting these threads deleted recently? Are we getting roped into b8 so hard we send the thread to ground zero in terms of cancer?
Landon Taylor
Only reason I saw for last thread was people discussing the events on /qa/.
Though I will say that the b8posting has been getting worse lately.
Elijah Robinson
I'm not sure if that's it, but I'm really tired of people continuing to argue bait posts and sending the thread into mass anger for hours.
Isaac Robinson
She looks quite bumpy.
Oliver Foster
Well then maybe people should stop replying to obvious bait.
Dominic Hughes
>lately It's been going on for several months now. I don't understand how it is constantly fallen for.
Jordan Johnson
Fuck i saw that shit in the trash thread but i didnt know what it was about. Now seeing it all together is a bit pathetic. if people want (you)s this bad go to /b/ we really got to stop replying to bad bait
Xavier Smith
The sad thing is that we can't even know for sure if it's people really arguing with them or if they're samefagging their own posts to make it seem like the bait's been taken. Maybe the measures that were taken last night will help. Only time will tell.
Connor Phillips
So how do we remove these non-fans?
Adrian Cox
So, does anybody have the coloured version of the image with BoomKnuckles, Bump and Sage? I saw the thumbnail in the last thread but I was too slow and it was nuked long before I got to it.
Hudson Bailey
>Implying they're non fans for stating the truth
Benjamin Adams
Do not bite the b8. always remember this
Angel King
Don't respond to bait and report, report, report.
On a lighter note, what's /sthg/ playing tonight? Gonna play any sonics?
Here ya go.
Landon Cruz
Just report, ignore, & don't give them the (You)'s they crave. Simple.
Michael Foster
>what's /sthg/ playing tonight? Rush 2049
Dylan Miller
>On a lighter note, what's /sthg/ playing tonight? Pokemon Showdown. The game's actually kind of fun now that Spookysword is fucking banned
Noah Reed
No kidding, I realized only now.
Chase Richardson
Truly a scholar and a gentleman, user. Thank you.
As for 'what I'm doing', probably no Sanics. Got a lot of model work to do.
Michael Jackson
>Oh jeez, what did you fuckers do this time? Literally nothing.
Parker Anderson
Sonic & The Lord of the Rings Would you play it?
Justin Green
You mean #627
The problem is a lot of the bait posts are the same people responding to themselves via airplane mode mass mobile spamming.
Eli Moore
>The problem is a lot of the bait posts are the same people responding to themselves via airplane mode mass mobile spamming. That would explain why so many people were IP range banned today. The mods aren't messing around.
Xavier Murphy
Sure, why not
Luis Taylor
>what's /sthg/ playing tonight? Hitman. Lots and lots of Hitman.
Brayden Russell
DED GENERAL
Brody Gomez
#626 or #627, whichever it is let's just agree to keep it when the thread is made.
Cameron Watson
Might result in thread wars, but it's not like we can sink any lower at this point.
What happened to us, guys? We used to be such a happy general.
Benjamin Taylor
>What happened to us?
People began to take a Sonic general too seriously.
Also shitposters.
Isaiah Gutierrez
But user....you can already do that.
Caleb Morris
a new breed of shitposters and curse of 2016.
Adam Cooper
>People began to take a Sonic general too seriously. How poetic. It's the same reason Sonic went to shit to begin with
Brandon Thompson
So anyways, post Amy's.
Isaac Robinson
This and some posters with names who have gotten shit on by us (for a reason) trying to kill /sthg/.
Nolan Johnson
I unironically think Boom Amy is her best design.
Ryder Adams
Shitposters. Honestly, I don't enjoy it here anymore and I'm thinking of leaving. I hate the idea of giving up, specially because I used to love this place, but what's the point anymore?
Josiah Martin
The bedroom eyes and leggings are great, but I hate the Hillary Clinton one piece suit
Joshua Gutierrez
Literally just don't respond to them or report them. It's not that hard.
Dominic Cox
It's also her best personality. Same with Knuckles. All they did for Knuckles was just take away the dumb rock and make him funny, but it makes a world of difference
Camden Hernandez
I still think treating Knuckles as a pure idiot rather than just gullible is a bit over the top. It works for the cartoon but I hope it doesn't carry over into, say, the games.
Grayson Howard
>I still think treating Knuckles as a pure idiot rather than just gullible is a bit over the top. Honestly he's been a pure idiot for a while now, so this is rather par for the course. Don't really see how it'd be too much to have an actual idiot, since that's a role that would otherwise be unfilled
Angel Green
>Honestly he's been a pure idiot for a while now, Thinking about it, I guess you're right. It does seem to be amped up to 11 in Boom though.
Isaac Walker
>It does seem to be amped up to 11 in Boom though. That is true, but it works. Instead of being the idiot, he's a funny idiot. Kind of wish that aspect would carry over to mainline. Not the design, but the humor. Then again, I kinda wish that all the Boom personalities would carry over since they're infinitely better than mainline but I guess that'd ruin the point of Boom. But if/when boom dies, I'd love to see them carry over
Michael Gutierrez
Gimp is shit
Bentley Ortiz
Boom!Knuckles stupidity works in Boom, but it's not something I wanna see in the games. Same thing for Boom!Amy's personality.
Colton Clark
I've never replied to them, I think the way those conversations go is the stupidest thing ever, and I've reported them in the past, but that only got me warned. I can't think of anything else to do and the situation is aggravating to witness.
John Wood
>Same thing for Boom!Amy's personality. Just curious, why? The annoying fangirl aspect of her is toned down in Boom, and she feels more complete and tolerable because of that
Dominic Torres
I unironically agree with this.
Luke Morgan
Because Archie!Amy's characterization fits her game counterpart more than Boom, imo. It does a great job of showing Amy being a capable fighter, as well as her being a fangirl for Sonic. Same thing with her portrayal in SA1.
Don't get me wrong, I like Boom!Amy, but it's not my favorite version of Amy Rose.
Samuel Hernandez
>Because Archie!Amy's characterization fits her game counterpart more than Boom, imo. It does a great job of showing Amy being a capable fighter, as well as her being a fangirl for Sonic. Same thing with her portrayal in SA1. I just don't get why she has to be a fangirl is all. I get the appeal at the time of creation, but now, it's just kind of annoying. I prefer it in Boom where she has a small crush on him, but still doesn't take any shit from him and more often than not they're at odds with each other. I think the Boom dynamics and characterizations are some of the most solid the franchise has ever seen
Caleb Bailey
Amy's fangirl aspect is perfectly fine, imo. So long as you don't flanderize it, & do more with her crush than just the typical "she chases Sonic, & Sonic ignores her" bit, it can still work.
>but still doesn't take shit from him
To be fair, we've seen Game!Amy not take any shit from Sonic in the past.
Kayden Parker
>Amy's fangirl aspect is perfectly fine, imo. So long as you don't flanderize it, & do more with her crush than just the typical "she chases Sonic, & Sonic ignores her" bit, it can still work. So basically do what Boom is doing now?
Jaxson Williams
Nah, since Boom turned it into a secret crush. She can still be open about it, but again, do more than just fangirl over Sonic.
Brody Perez
>SombraAndReaper.jpg
Nathan Wood
Eh, fair enough. Although, again, you can make it a normal crush and still do that kinda thing
Luke Butler
Yeah, but I personally think Amy being open about her crush makes sense, given her age & all. I mean personally, Boom!Amy's personality would fit an older Amy Rose, tho.
Adrian James
being as open about her crush as she is*
Easton Gomez
I agree with this. In my opinion she has a character despite still being obsessed with sonson
Grayson Hall
I think the difference between Boom Amy and Mainline Amy is that Boom Amy is much more subdued.
Mainline Amy kinda wears her emotions on her sleeve. She's very dreamy and talks about how she believes in true love or how hurting innocent creatures is wrong. When you make her mad she'll be quick to act, either with words or violence. You will never not know what Amy is thinking because she'll make it incredibly apparent.
Boom Amy on the other hand feels a bit more generic. She tends to be the voice of reason. The mature one and her only flaws is that she's often manic or obsessive. Beyond that she hardly even feels like the same character except for her love of critters and a sense of justice.
Christopher Cruz

Honestly this makes her infinitely more likable than the genki girl that is Mainline Amy
Easton Hughes
just imo, the latter seems like a better character.
Gavin Cook
Pretty much. And personally, I do find Game!Amy to be the more likable character for it, though Boom!Amy is fine.
Jonathan Miller
My problem is it's just safe. You'd be hard pressed to find a show that DOESN'T have a character like Boom Amy in it. She's somehow more generic than she already was, which is pretty telling since her character was basically "the girl"
