"You know what, Vector?" Silver commented while making a new batch of pizzas, noticing Shadow going on a tirade of ranting yet again. "I think something is up with him. He's been acting like this for weeks."

"I told him that trope shit isn't worth it, yet he goes to ignore me as usual." Vector said while shaking his head in disapproval. "He probably thinks people care about the nonsense he's spewing."

"Should I go sting him?" Charmy asked as he received a 'no' from the others, which made the young bee sad as he stopped buzzing in the air and sat down in the chair disappointed.

"And frankly I don't know why people like coming into stories like this, the guy's style of reusing the same ideas constantly, clogging up the front pages with his works, excessive grossout, and putting characters in situations that require them to be totally Out of Character is creepily similar to the algorithm spoofing that's going on with the internet these days!" Shadow ranted as he took a long sip of his hot Dr. Pepper, which certainly explained quite a lot of things.

"Sounds like you need to take a step back and look at the world from a bigger perspective." Amy remarked while calmly eating her third slice of honey topped pizza.

"I need to have perspective? Well consider the fact that his other stuff is ignored-" Shadow went on about as he suddenly got interrupted by a scoff.

"You really think anyone would care that much about getting attention?" Dry Bowser spoke up while helping to craft the pizza dough. "Even if I only got 1 customer, I would be fine with it. Not everything needs to be the most known project ever."

"Yeah man, sometimes it's okay to have flops or under-performances that no one's aware of." Space Ghost brought up while leaning on an arcade cabinet.

Shadow growled as he clenched his near empty soda can. "It doesn't help that his lame attempt of humor is entirely consisted of the same shit!"

"Comedy is subjective," Everyone chimed in as a way of mocking the edgy black hedgehog.

"You're the kind of guy who would get a heart attack at only getting 1 review after expecting a hundred of them." Vector spoke up as he shook his crocodile head. "Just learn to let it go, man."

Shadow growled as he wasn't sure why he still hung around with these idiots, as it was becoming clear that they weren't a good influence on him.
