At work today, there was a discussion about whether or not a given behavior in the game was a bug or not. One of our lead designers, Nils, asked "What is a bug?" Inspired, I crapped this together.pic.twitter.com/IJFy4rxQph

The original argument was "Sonic games have always allowed debug mode, so it counts"https://twitter.com/AStartShow/status/1066424757057437696 …
Please be upfront about the subtext next time.
@AStartShow is 100% correct that it's a glitch. And you're 100% correct that it's to be expected.
But it being expected doesn't make it not a glitch.
Here I thought you were contributing to some wiki about faults in the game code.

Writing a wiki article as part of a push for technical documentation about an engine is one thing. But making an interesting YouTube video that will appeal to a broad audience is something else entirely. And highlighting the code flaw in a video is completely reasonable.

You're very much right. I never thought about it like that before. I feel like this has resolved the issue I've carried in my head since that thread.

Ah I apologize. Though hearing it from you now clarifies this a lot.

It's just a matter of context. It's not a code flaw, it's an asset issue. Something that affects countless debug-only assets in games. But if you're
@AStartShow and making a video for broader consumption to make people laugh and go "ha ha bug go brrrr", nothing wrong with that.
