and you say *I* only experienced 25% of Alex Yard?
January 25, 2026 at 8:26 PM
it does not sound like that at all

this time it was "using an exploit to get more points is like bringing a ladder to a basketball court"

bro compared an oversight to outright cheating

there is a very "you control the buttons you press" moment in the video, proving you right

"Sonic 1 MegaPlay has per-stage time limits that kill you, now you can't say that the time bonus is bad!"

Each act has ITS OWN time limit. Many of those are above a minute. Don't talk to me about the 1m time bonus.

Alex Yard brings up Sonic Frontiers' time-based ranking system to debate against the "all-or-nothing is bad" criticism and all I can think is "man I sure wish each act had its own par time that wouldve been far better design"

All I'm going to say is that I sincerely doubt Toby Fox is a plagarist

It needs to a lot more than that is my point, if the rank is just this scuffed smooth difficulty curve tool then it sucks ass. It should have some other implications like being an active resource you manage that, when poorly managed, becomes impossible and hopefully quickly too

i was being slightly facetious with that reply but now i feel like I'm missing something

rank's entire thing is making the game harder! but i might be looking at the phrase "difficulty escalation" too literally
January 25, 2026 at 3:26 PM
and then you put in a difficulty curve on top of that anyways. and you call it "rank" :P

"Of course, without full knowledge of the game's mechanics, I'll only be able to make best guesses when I start actually programming..."

Yeah, this is basically gonna be a console port, with everything console ports come with. Everything's gonna be worse and it will not be the best version!

9 out of 10 Tertle950s recommend killing all C developers indescriminately instead of checking for the 1 in 10 C developers that follow proper food safety rules. Just in case, yknow.
