I've heard and read a lot of discussion about the key cards and you guys were one of the only ones that mentioned the beneficial difference between key cards and code-in-a-box, you can sell or trade them.

The Wii Shop does still work for redownloading (most) games BTW. I finally did a Wii to Wii U transfer last week, which was a fun 3 hours of individually deleting and redownloading ~60 games.

You forgot "Person D makes statement agreeing with Person B"

Person A makes a statement. Person B says I disagree with Person A. Person C says I agree with Person A. I think we've now covered all the takes on that topic and can move on.

Welp, allow me to explain my stance a little bit more. I haven't talked about this with any of the other mods so the view is my own and they can feel free to counter or override my take but here it is.

I guess I've been watching a bit more legal shows or something of late but what it made me think of is that in some court cases one side may want to introduce some evidence or an argument but the judge rules it is inadmissible for some reason such as it not being relevant to the matter being tried. However, it may be later that during testimony, a witness broaches the matter or brings it up. In which case, now that inadmissible evidence can be admitted and used since it has now become relevant and pertains to the matter at hand.

Likewise, I would say the no politics rule would be like that inadmissible evidence. As soon as a user may bring it up then as the mod/judge we strike it down. Can't post that here. Not relevant to the forums purpose. However, in this case, since it is, let's say, a high ranking staff member (the News Editor) who has been the one to broach that topic and introduced it into the discussion, I can't exactly censure that comment as it is above my paygrade.

Now, I doubt the intention was to have that topic become what the first comment of the thread focused on much like how a person's testimony may now lead to evidence that they didn't want becoming part of the case now being allowed. But since they brought it up, I decided to let the comment stand in this case as a sort of fairness. If the staff member is going to broach the politics topic then I suppose it is fair to let a user comment on it in return. Hence why I made the "not my problem" statement in that picture.

With all that said, I'm also not interested in seeing that subject become a long chain of posts with all manner of people commenting and arguing about it as though it is now open season on political and religious discussion. (Not that I expect a lot of comments with the state of activity the forum now sees these days.) Thus, I've made a quick post to touch on the matter and I think should now let it be put to rest.

I'm actually kind of proud of that one. I found a way to say everything that I felt needed to be said without saying something that would break the rules.

I might have implied some things but y'all mods ain't got **** on me.

There was ZERO need to make that anti-Israel comment and the false claim that there is genocide in Israel.

You know what? I'll bite.

I believe in calling a spade a spade. I also commend Donald's work. There's really nothing more that needs to be said than that.

In my defense I honestly didn't know how that would go and it isn't like I can easily engage with that topic without breaking some rules.

But honestly, I'm still debating having some fun with that comment myself.

It is great to see some folks joining in the fun again this year!

I just rolled credits on Sonic CD for the first time. I played this on the Sega Genesis Mini 2. Normally I read through the manual before playing a retro game like this and really should have. There is a rather ambitious mechanic where you can shift to "future" and "past" versions of a level that I still don't quite understand. I think I get the bonus levels, needing 50 rings at the end of the level and then jump in the big ring, but that only happened once for me and did not lead to a chaos emerald. Hats off to anyone that can 100% complete this game.

The audio and visual quality is quite nice here, overshadowing the genesis games, but the level design still suffers from the usual issues. I think this is the first appearance of Amy and Metal Sonic in the games. Definitely recommended for fans of 2D Sonic.
