You know what, it's an article on the Sonic Stadium, so I may as well share my favourite SEGA memories:
I was born well past SEGA's prime, and yet I felt the effects nonetheless. Gaming in my childhood started out as an "oh that's kinda cool" thing. But then my father gave me a Gamecube, and with it was a copy of SA2. I had never known Sonic or SEGA before this point, my life back then were racing games, Walt Disney movies and The Simpsons. But when I saw the cover to SA2, I was gobsmacked with how much attitude and colour dripped off the cover. And when I started up the game and saw the first cutscene, it was official, Sonic is the coolest person ever to have entered my life. Shadow the Hedgehog may have been the selling point of SA2, but he paled in comparison to Sonic. I think my life would have turned out very differently if I didn't get introduced to this game.
Do my SEGA memories stop there? Oh darling, there was one place I always wanted to go to every time I saw it, most birthday parties I went to as a kid took place in one, and I still pop in every now and then if I get bored... I freakin' love arcades, and any arcade worth their salt had SEGA's Daytona USA. In almost religious fashion, that would be the first game I play, every time. SEGA made one hell of an arcade racer, and you'll always see someone playing it. Honestly, aside from Daytona USA, if you were looking for a good arcade game other than Time Crisis 4, it was almost a guarantee that SEGA had the good games. Seriously, check the publishers of a cabinet, it's likely that the game you really like is by SEGA.
Even past SEGA's prime, their presence can still be felt. They've actually ended up one of my favourite publishers in recent years, because they've got quality offerings and oddball fun games. It's crazy, most people would think SEGA to be dead these days, but they're going incredibly strong. also they have hatsune miku, so sega is never gonna die anyway lol

Happy birthday, man. Hope it's a good one.

Happy 10th anniversary to Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's a masterpiece and deserves all the love in the world

Must-add quotes to the random quote rotation:
"None of this is good, Vector. That's why it's called 'war.'"
"My spy there says he's in a solitary confinement cell, and they've been torturing him for months."

Sonic Adventure's soundtrack is just nothing but hits tbh

COVID results came back NEGATIVE. PHEW.
 
Now I just gotta ride out... whatever this is. Ow. Body aches. Owwww.

Update: Just got discharged and am finally home. Not feeling the best but they didn't find any blood clots or evidence for pneumonia which is good. Should get COVID results in a day or two.

Wonderful news, everyone! After today, the pandemic sweeping across the world and making everyone's lives miserable is finally going to end. We'll be able to go outside again without fear. That's right, starting tomorrow we won't be seeing any more of those STUPID FUCKING EGGS IN NEW HORIZONS I am so happy

i've really come to appreciate toon link for being (for me) the most accessible characters when it comes to start and holding combos with. he's also good for opting for a more aggressive style of play.

So uh... I think I can say I cooked my first launch in my life. Rice, eggs and sausage. Supervised by my parents.
It was... tasteful, I guess.
