I like the implication that someone put the Sega Dreamcast into their contacts list.

Hey, if Dreamcast calls, you better answer
I plan on complaining about the time my brother stole my DC, then pawned it to get cigarettes.
Brutal. Not sure how that compares to me being mad at my bro for deleting my Legend of Zelda save.
Or how that compares to my dad selling my atari 2600 to make rent. I mean I get it, but I'd been looking for it for months, and when I asked him he'd sold it two days before.
Or how that compares to my mom’s frustration when she got stuck on a really hard Donkey Kong Country level on the family switch’s retro emulator app and died a lot. (She’s really scary when angry, especially if it’s from playing difficult games)
Yeesh, F in the chat bois....
You haven’t lost anything. Mine was overheating when I played for more than 4 hours. We have emulators like Redream now.
Maybe I'll install the Dreamcast emulator on Vita and try it out
It's mostly OK. A bit sluggish, but some games are actually quite playable.
Waiting till October 14th like the European peasant I am, just like I did in 1999.
Guess I'll have to play some Jet Set Radio!
I got a Retroid Pocket 3+ already set up as a handheld Dreamcast emulator (among others) so I guess I'm gonna play some mother fuckin Dreamcast. 😁
How are you liking the pocket 3+?
It's pretty good. Can be a hassle to setup but Retro Game Corp has a website and video about it that covered most of what I needed.
Cool, been trying to decide on a handheld. Maybe I'll grab one.
I don't know, I already attended the funeral. It might be in bad taste.
Alright. I have Dreamcast. What games should I get?
Edit: sweet responses, thanks everyone!
(Hey hey it's ) Crazy Taxi 1&2
Skies of Arcadia
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Dynamite Cop
Maken X
Ikaruga
Skies of Arcadia
Only my favourite game of all time.
Sega adding it as a track to Sonic All-Stars racing to tease me, and not making a sequel after all these years makes me sad.
Grandia II
Oh! Can't forget Power Stone 2!
Jet Set Radio
Edit: If you're in the US you may find it as as Jet Grind Radio.
Looking over my collection, these are the ones I thought "I'd like to play that right now."
Soul Calibur, Chuchu Rocket, Mars Matrix, Virtua Tennis, Super Magnetic Neo, Sword Of The Berserk: Guts' Rage
Wow no one said seaman or phantasy star online.
+1 on skies of Arcadia, Grandia II, Chuchu Rocket, Powerstone, and Jet Set Radio.
I plan on letting scientific curiosity get the better of me and licking one of my Switch games to test their apparently ghastly taste
Filling up my room with red, orange and blue spirals (reminiscent of the color differences of the Dreamcast logo between regions)
🔴🟠🔵
I ain't gonna lie, that color scheme looks really fly. Why am I rhyming right now??
Maybe I’ll start a rewatch of Brooklyn 9/9
