That sentence sounds broken because producers shouldn't have a hand in the development process, but somehow it is and continues to be a sisyphian existential nightmare that starts by producers milking every second of developers' time (ironically to save money), then developers make a broken game, and everyone loses. Somehow this cycle has continued for decades now with producers all around the world looking at the clusterfuck that ensues and being like "how did we lose money?" The graphics suffer. The writing suffers. The code suffers. The game gets riddled with bugs. The sales suffer. The people suffer. The franchise suffers. The medium suffers. Most of all though, the devs suffer. Most of them are only going to be able to make a very limited amount of games in their lives before they die. These years of development where they're stressed all the time, not given the chance to carefully make a game because the producers set an impossible deadline create a black mark on entire eras of their lives. Imagine suffering that much, and then people hate what you made, some even blame you, and it's not your fault. You can't even put it on your resume because the game looks so awful, and it had nothing to do with your level of skill, but rather decisions that weren't even made by the company you work for, but by people who have seen and continue to enforce, aggressively, this shit factory of a practice again and again and again until the point when they can finally get it through their heads that this is not acceptable or profitable, and we can all stop suffering.

Arin, I’m glad that you found out how to boost, you have to use it as often as you can, it’s the little bar in the bottom left corner. You can use it to dash into enemies while you run

[@GawainW]

funny now Arin's first instinct when seeing an enemy is "oh I just need to homing attack them because this is Sonic and that's what he's meant to do right?" when he's forgetting that he can hold the boost button down and just save himself some time

[@Microfins]

"They called it Les Enfant Terribles!" - I'm so happy Arin will always have a bit of Metal Gear embedded in his soul.

Tails was originally known as Solid Tails, but Liquid Tails died in the womb, and Solid Tails absorbed his leftover tail, leaving him with two.

It's interesting to see Arin do double jumps. I've actually seen a whole lot of people do the same thing in various games; assuming that they'll gain the most height by double-tapping the jump button instead of waiting to get to the top of their arc before pressing again. For others, it's instinctual, even when they've barely played platformers before. I wonder if the double jump has been taken for granted recently in terms of how players are just expected to already know how it works?
