(Was not expecting to get the Pac-Man World 2 remake today, but the money from the Facebook Consumer Privacy Settlement came in, and I had completely forgotten I had laid a claim to that)

(Man, if I wasn't a Christian IRL, I'd *swear* Weer was the human reincarnation of Jet the Hawk)

"Ugh, do I really gotta do this? Fine..." #SeductiveSundae

"Yeah, well, I hope the higher-ups at Sega think that if people start reporting your 'mole rat', Boss." His voice was dripping with disappointment, though noticeably lacked any hint of surprise.

"...Boss, I respect you and all, but if you get banned from the races for inappropriate imagery, don't come crying to me to go rescind the ban."

(Surprisingly not bad for a Bubsy game. A bit *too* self-aware to the point it feels like almost everyone seems to tolerate Bubsy at best, even Bubsy himself, and the bridge level could've used an extra checkpoint, but the controls were good and I had some fun with the levels)

Renault would be lying in bed, his pillow over his face, though thankfully not trying to smother himself. Seems like he's in one of those ruts.

"Just had to fire someone from the IT department and now I'm sitting here trying to figure out the logic that led him to conclude that he didn't need any bubble wrap to ship laptops and monitors to remote workers, and I just can't wrap my head around it."

"Fair enough."

"Honestly, it's surprising that the Boss, who loves loud heists and exciting getaways, keeps me, a guy who specializes in keeping under the radar most of the time, around."

Our founder, Scott, would like to discuss the recent situation that happened on RetroAchievements as well as the measures we will be taking going forward to ensure a healthy, welcoming community for all enjoyers of retro games and achievements. retroachievements.org/forums/topic...

"Just admit it, you're contractually obligated to have Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Shadow as the face of every promotional crossover so you had no choice but to dump green paint on Amy like it was Nickelodeon slime and call it a day."

"Probably should've cut back on the bacon, hedgehog...or...chili dogs..." "Too much chili dogs can cause heart attacks too, right? I'll need to consult Dr. Aquene about that..."

(Update on RetroAchievements: I've seen a post from the creator making it clear that the site's stance should NOT be supporting hate content, and have heard that the site has nuked the set for Custer's Revenge, so they are taking steps in the right direction.)

"Why do you think I have to *have* the Phantom Rogue of Babylon identity to begin with? If the police found out I was working with you guys, my garage would be shut down faster than you can say 'police brutality'."

"...and so, if you take into account Arthurian Legend and who the knights are in that world, then in at least one universe, the Boss has fucked Knuckles' mom."

"Boss, you're sitting on the remote locker again."

(Stolen because I'm in a bit of a depression rn)

(Aw man, even Retro Achievements are a milkshake duck.)

(Ok, pinned's done. It probably sucks, but oh well)

"...Seems I'd better stay away from Sonic for the next 31 days..." Renault sighs "Damned Halloween. All I care about is the candy bars, the jumpscares and threats to one's life can go fuck themselves."

Renault was getting ready to start the day, on a business call. "Yes, we open soon...Yes, we do routine maintenance on regular cars...Of course, ma'am. Now, our regular rates are--" Cut to Renault in his local coffee shop a half hour later talking to the barista.

"GODS DAMMIT, YOU TWO! I DO NOT NEED MPREG SHADOW OR JET RIPPING HIS EYES OUT! FUCK YOU BOTH!"

"Oh, as if you telling Rouge you can 'handle the curves like an expert' wasn't just as blatant?"

"Heaven forbid you cover up that 'ego' you love to stroke so much."

"A bit late, yeah, but I feel like my mixtape would be one of those that Boss would look at and ask me 'Dafuq kinda music do you listen to?'" "...Except for Catch Me If You Can, he'd probably approve of that."

Sips coffee "What were you chuckleheads doing while I was gone?"

Renault grimaces, a sick pit in his stomach as he browses the skates and bikes of the local Extreme Gear shop. He *knew* Wave was the go-to girl for Extreme Gear, and that she would be very offended that he hadn't gone to her for one, but... He wasn't sure if she also worked on air skates and --

"..." "Y'know, the blue hedgehog pisses me off, but those damned .exe demons of him make me want to punch the nearest person in the face and knock them out."

"...I wonder if I should hire a cat employee whose only job is to call up the boss and tell him to go to sleep when he's been awake for too long?"

"You too, huh...? Damned allergies..."

"Honestly, I'm just thankful I still *have* funding after that scare this past week." "The pipe bomb explosion was spectacular at least, and I made sure to position them in such a way as to merely give the mailman cartoony ash face."

youtu.be/pk-Oq8iYtVA Renault would be in his studio apartment above the garage, watching a new critically-aclaimed film someone had recommended him. "...This feels familiar..."

"Aw, hell, the Sonic sleep paralysis demons are out in full force. Is it almost Halloween already?"

(Secret Rings PC Remake dev be like "You wanna see me release a demo?" 2 weeks later, "You wanna see me do it again?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJXj...

Renault shows up in his Phantom Rogue outfit purely so he can tune the voice modulator to Samuel L Jackson and proceeds to read Jet a story youtu.be/teIbh8hFQos

"Thanks." "I need to give my local mailman a little motivation to next time properly deliver important documents that could mean the difference between continuing to get funding for the garage and having to shackle myself to investors to keep the lights on."

"Ah, boss, perfect timing." "Where do you keep the pipe bombs?"

"...So...there's a squid." "And apparently it's Shadow the Hedgehog." "Uhm...what were in my microwave sausages?"

Renault froze as he heard this conversation through Jet's radio, feeling incredibly conflicted. Did...did Sonic show genuine respect for Jet? He could've sworn Sonic cared only for himself, but going to such lengths to deliver fan mail for Jet...? This wasn't the Sonic he thought he was...

"..." "I've been hanging out with the Rogues for too long, hearing Jet spend all day and night making an ass of himself 24/7 is actually more relaxing than not hearing a peep from him."
