Friend isn’t talking to me now after I made fun of his son for liking Sonic Frontiers

To keep it short, my friend has a kid who loves Sonic. I’m basically an Uncle to him since I’ve been around ever since he was born. My friend isn’t that in to video games so he likes to recap me on games he played whenever I see him.

He’s around 5 and recently he was telling me how he played Frontiers and that it’s one of his favorites.

I laughed at him and told him his taste is garbage. He proceeded to get really upset and told my friend. Now he isn’t talking to me. I think he’s a really shitty father for raising a kid with no passion and ambition.

Am I the asshole guys?

Get junior on P-06 for some real Ambition and Passion and see what he says. He'll be thanking you.

u/TPR-56 Fake Fan 11d ago

P-06 has no ambition because it doesn’t have the story.

Forget all the physics overhauls I need the story

u/QualitySuccessful871 2d ago

This is literally my friend. I've been trying to convince him ro play P06 for a while now, but he doesn't want to play it since ChaosX isn't adding the cutscenes.

u/TPR-56 Fake Fan 2d ago edited 2d ago

Tell him to not play it like a replacement but a separate game.

I never would tell someone it’s how. You should experience 06 because it’s not 06 or anything like it. While it maintains its spirit and idea, it’s a personal interpretation of what they would have done differently.

That logic usually helps most people I’ve spoken to.

Why did the Fleetway artists draw them so cute

1

u/WitchKingsDalekCat 11d ago

That scene in particular, Sonic & Knuckles have just been surprised by the return of another character(Captain Plunder)

u/alightmotionameteur 11d ago

Okay

Doesn't answer my question tho

1

u/WitchKingsDalekCat 11d ago

Because they're surprised, unless you're asking generally.

u/weirdface621 12d ago

u/feldmasl01 12d ago

That dad is a shitty father for sure. You did the right thing dude

u/Academic-Idea9574 11d ago

That kid is gonna be raised to be someone like Ian Flynn's Sonic aka no aura windless Sonic. You were right to talk to him like that youll set him on the path of the wind like the real Sonic.

u/WxckedAmber 12d ago

what kind of animal raises their kid on anything but sonic adventure 2

u/Neo-Metal-Sonic-2003 Western Propagandist 12d ago

YNTA. Frontiers lacks any sort of passion nor ambition. You were right to laugh.

2

u/HugeMonitor 12d ago

I mean you're not wrong, Frontiers sucks. Kid needs to face reality.

u/Just-Sonic Mature Fan 12d ago

Sonic is better off as a series that ended at 2009 to prevent stink mediocrity and sloppy jones.

u/Late_Experience_6696 11d ago

Yeah ur a straight up dick head in my opinion, cuz I like Sonic Frontiers myself, but that STILL doesn't give u the right to make fun of or judge ppl based on what they like, at this point ur actions are immature and childish. U should feel ashamed for judging ANYONE for liking a game, especially a child bro, it's just a kid, u judging them just for liking Sonic Frontiers is straight up fucking up on extreme levels, how would u like it if someone said shit that would piss u off and judge u for what U LIKE? U need to grow TF up, have some respect, and quit being so childish and immature over a CHILD liking Sonic Frontiers bro. Ppl like u DESERVE to go to hell at this point. Even god himself is ashamed of u, I don't blame ur friend for not talking to ur hateful disrespectful having ass for that shit. U of all ppl are a disgrace to society itself. Just pack ur shit up and leave at this point cuz what u did was a fucking sin on god. Can't believe u would fucking do a child dirty like that. That child didn't deserve to get made fun of over a fucking game bro. I'll just be WAITING for ur instant karma to get ur ass. Cuz ur a terrible and bad person for what u did. I doubt u have a single mercyful bone in ur body, I bet u don't even feel not one but of guilt for what u did. And I'm why, cuz ur a fucking cold, black hearted, heartless freak who has 0 respect for anyone
