Trying to watch 999 let’s plays is such hell to me - NO ONE PLAYS THE GAME RIGHT just shutupshutupshutupshutup and play the game!! Stop trying to make jokes!!!!
I’m too autistic for this, I cannot bear hearing let’s players doing their own voice acting when I adore the game’s VAs too much. Everyone always fucks up Santa’s and Lotus’s voices especially.
I understand the draw of Let’s Plays are largely the people playing them who have gained their own following, but as someone who just loves the game I don’t wanna hear ur stupid banter 💥💥💥 play the game and be intrigued but not TOO intrigued because give it a fuckin minute it’ll explain what’s going on 🙄‼️

I think what makes Asch work as a static character is the fact that our UNDERSTANDING of Asch’s character is dynamic.
When we first see Asch, he’s a basically a giant mystery. All we know is that he’s strong and brutal, willing to allow his soldiers to kill Luke and his friends with the rest of the people on the Tartarus. We don’t see what he looks like until a few hours later into the game. His allegiance with the God-Generals is called into question when he tells Luke where they’ve brought Ion, but he remains oddly fixated on hurting Luke with his threat of puppeting Luke’s body to make him attack Tear.
And then Akzeriuth happens. It becomes clear just who Asch is and what his issue with Luke is. We get to play as Asch and see how much more knowledgeable he is than Luke, how long he’s been suspicious of Van, how many connections he’s pieced together on his own. Asch… is kind of cool. He’s the lost son of the Duke of Kimlasca. And he’s going to be working apart from the party in order to keep Van’s forces split.
Which is mostly true. But over time our contextualization of Asch will change. As Luke grows and starts reaching out towards people, Asch continues to lash out and push others away. He grows more irritable with Luke, refusing to listen to anything he says on the myriad of occasions that Luke reaches out to him. He only grows angrier every time Luke attempts to give him back his life. This is a little strange, given that Asch attempted to have Luke killed twice before (once on the Tartarus, and the second time when he attacked directly at the Keitzur checkpoint).
We find out that Asch believes he is dying. We come to understand that he wants Luke to keep Asch’s life, as taking his life back now feels impossible to him. Luke acts nothing like Asch, but Asch still wants SOMEONE to be Luke. But Asch refuses to explain all of this to Luke, to anyone, really. Asch is just as alone with his anger as he was when he was with the God-Generals. And, that’s anger that eventually erupts over in Grand Chokmah, where he tells Luke there is no recompense but to fight to see who the real Luke is and yells at Natalia—the person he cares about the most—to shut up.
Incidentally, this is the last thing Natalia hears Asch say to her before Asch dies.
It isn’t until his battle with Luke on Eldrant that Asch starts to progress past his need to blame Luke for things wrong with his life.

It's very funny to me when social media blows up with Youtuber drama because I have absolutely no idea who any of these people are. Youtube came out when I was halfway through college and for me has always been a random video site, I do not have the time or inclination to watch some rando with Annoying Youtube Voice read a plagiarized Wikipedia article for 90 minutes
Just trying to enjoy my boomer moments rather than getting upset about getting old 🤷🏻♀️

What is even the point of Silver living in the future? It’s not his future anymore and he has no friends or family there. There’s nothing for him there. Now that he has precognition he should just live in Sonic’s time and get visions of disasters.
Seriously there’s no point in his future or time travel. We’ll never see it, Silver only cares about the state of it and he can only go to Sonic’s time anyway.
I find this an interesting question myself. The best answer I can give as to why Silver keeps returning to the future is that him being from the future is "his thing", just like how having PK is "his thing". It's just something very much intertwined with his character; basically every bio he has makes mention of it, for example. But I also agree with the notion that him being from the future opens up some issues. I've seen statements that it is difficult to make Silver relevant if he must travel to the past every time, for example, which I don't disagree with (but for me, the same could then be said about Blaze and the Sol Dimension or Knuckles and the Master Emerald). Adding to that, I do not believe we know for certain if its state is generally 'destroyed' or 'saved' and if Silver grew up in a destroyed world (said in multiple bios) or a good one (I'd argue that is implied in Rivals 1, with Eggman Nega almost certainly having stolen the camera from someone else and Onyx Island being both a paradise and having developed industry on it that I do not believe Angel Island currently has). Furthermore, the Rivals games are also not very consistent to me about if the future has actually gotten rewritten or not (but it tentatively seems to lean that way, since Silver says at the end of Rivals 2 he hopes the new future is a happy one), and we legit just do not know how its alleged destruction goes. Does Silver indeed intervene before something bad can happen, or does the future actively turn bad before his very eyes and he goes back in time to undo that again? I am truly not certain if there's ever been a clear-cut answer from a credible source, though I am pretty sure there's multiple conflicting explanations from non-credible ones... but that really doesn't help make things clear. And lastly, we also do not know what he has in his own era when it comes to friends and family, nor is it ever clearly shown or said how he time-travels in any game other than '06. With all that combined I can see why having him return again and again gets... well, confusing, haha!
In that regard, I also feel there is merit in the idea of him just staying for good in the past. His friends are there, it's consistently where the action happens anyway, and Team Sonic Racing indeed hints at him having a sense of precognition. The Japanese version actually dives into it more, with Silver asking himself at the very end when Eggman's battleship is going down if that is what was causing his bad/nagging feelings. Considering he was necessary there to help carry people and racecars off it to safety, it does imply to me that that scene might have intended to show it as a genuine skill of his. Shame the English version cuts that moment out entirely. So yeah, the point of Silver being in the future is, to the best of my explanations, legit just the fact that's how he has been conceptualised, making it "his thing". But it does cause confusions for me, because of how much there is not clearly explained and all the contradictory information out there from non-game sources. I think having Silver stay in the past for good could make for a nice move on Sega's part, assuming it is within his own decisions (so not forced by A ThingTM that is entirely unexplained to us and removes all his agency, for example). I think it'd be a nice resolution for Silver to see his heart lays in the past, and he can still protect his own world from there too!
