As a Sonic fan it was a bit jarring. The fact Sega will no longer be making consoles anymore was dissapointing as it was the end of a legacy of machines. And when a better version of Sonic Adventure ended up on the GameCube a part of me couldn't help but feel that Nintendo made Sega their bitch. Even seeing that picture of Sonic holding that GameCube and GameBoy Advance with a smile made me feel he was unconcenual at the time. But despite my pride I can't help but confess the Nintendo 64 had some good games such as GoldenEye and Zelda: Ocarina of TIme and owning a GameCube and a GameBoy Advance allowed me to not only play Sonic games for GameCube but also Zelda and other games I liked. I recall having a GameBoy, while I do like the GameCube better the GameBoy had more of a library.

And just to clarify, these consoles I had were not "mine". I had three brothers and a single mother so when she brought us games and consoles they were for all of us to share.

But given Sega no longer made games for a specific console means that they can distribute their games for a variety of platforms alowing them to be more available to it's audience, for example I chose the XBox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed over the Wii version because it looked better to me. And I still don't have a Switch or a PS4 but thanks to Steam I have Sonic Mania and Forces on my PC. I think business-wise, Sega quitting the console business was a good decision and alows Sega to still keep afloat to this day because of it. But still I often wonder what it be like if we lived in a timeline if Sega won the Console War, or if they contonues to make consoles for the sake of it? I'd be curious to know what would their next console be after the Dreamcast.

As for Doctor Who, my favourite doctor is David Tennant. Got a cardboard stand of him. The classic series ended just a year after my birth so I have no nostalgic memories of the original series but I was still a fan of the concept. However ever since Jodie Whittaker became the Doctor and the BBC going all "politically correct", a lot of Whovians had had enough of the series since Series 11.
