@Tadano You better think fast, because being a minimum wage worker with a college degree is the absolute worst.

When on a jury, it is your absolute right, and in my opinion duty, to nullify unconstitutional and unjust laws by rendering a "not guilty" verdict.

Jury nullification is the only viable non-violent solution to government tyranny in post-Constitutional America, and only requires convincing 10% of the (local) population.

These cameras might be doing more than just recording our movements: according to a new study that peers into the psychology of surveillance, they could be fundamentally altering how our brains process visual information.

Many people have found it more than a little strange that all of the major governmental, intelligence, and space agencies stretching from the Congress, Pentagon, CIA, and NASA have begun to loudly discuss alien disclosure on a regular basis.

@Ace66062 @PurpCat @beardalaxy @frost I knew about his existence for a while, but there was one time I was trying to program a platformer, but didn't want to do a Mario clone like everyone else, and Sonic was way too complex, so I decided that I should do an Alex Kidd clone. When I actually played Alex Kidd, I realized how much personality and wasted potential the franchise had. It just needed to have a game with SMB3 levels of content during the Genesis era instead of the heaping pile of shit known as Enchanted Castle and ditch the rock-paper-scissors boss fights.

>Pulseman and Vectorman were my personal favorite mascots

Pulseman and Vectorman weren't even owned by Sega and they could've easily gone multiplat if they wanted. Alex Kidd was Sega's original mascot, outside of Oppa Oppa and some rabbit character that appeared in instruction booklets for the SG-1000.

Pulseman didn't have a chance because GameFreak was also working with Nintendo on Pokemon which would end up being their cache cow for both companies.

>A lot more people seem to love funny animals than androids and robots.

Sonic and Crash were the only video game funny animal mascots that really saw popularity. People tried to copy Sonic's success with characters like Bubsy, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Rocket Knight, but they didn't find much success. Jazz Jackrabbit was popular with PC gamers, but PC gaming in the 90s was mostly for adults outside of edutainment and simulation games.

Besides Mario, Sonic, and Crash, the most iconic video game mascots (pre-6th gen) are Pac-Man, MegaMan, and Bomberman. None of them are animals.

@beardalaxy @PurpCat Alex Kidd was a way better mascot and you know it. Sega actually had some great IPs before the whole brand was ruined by furshit.
