In the Colorful Mall track of 'Sonic Racing CrossWorlds', the Donut Donut store in the food court features Matcha, Vannilla Cream, Strawberry and Blueberry donuts for purchase. This is the only store to reference the Japanese Yen as currency.

i refuse to hate on games for the meme. i refuse to let myself pass over games based on any initial issues i have them anymore. i just LOVE VIDEO GAMES.

the true skill issue is not being to appreciate the artistry of games in all cases

i may becoming too woke with my enjoyment of video game. lately ive felt like any time i am not having fun it is *always* a failing on my part, not the videogame itself.

i think the worst games ever are the ones that are like ontologically evil. mighty no 9 is not that. mighty no 9 is cool.

whenever someone claims a something is a "worst game" or even like a bad video game they either have no joy in their heart or they have not played many video games. most video games are really good

In this clip of a 1995 Computer Chronicles, we not only get some lovely showcases of the PS1 and Saturn, but also brutal honesty from Stewart as he considers console vs PC gaming.

"It's nice to know when you come home from the store having just spent $50 on a new game, it'll work."
