[Tim doesn't seem too thrilled. Again, anhedonia, but Jay suspects there's more going on than that. Not too hard to imagine why. Jay crossed a line, like he always does, but this time, he tried to smooth it over--not by switching focus to anything important, but by talking about video games. Like that'll do anything. Like this is anything but the world's most inelegant backpedal.]
[Jay stumbles over his own feet on the way to the makeshift gaming rig. If Tim says pick whatever, he knows what he's gonna pick.]
[He pulls Sonic 2 off the top of the stack.]
This is, uh...Sonic. I played it a lot when I was...I mean, I kept playing it. Came with me to college. I kinda, like, I got into speedrunning at one point--like, playing the game really fast by, like, exploiting bugs and stuff.
[Shut up. He does not care. He will not care about your long, weird love affair with Sonic the Hedgehog. Just get to the point.]
So I guess I'm probably...biased, but I...thought if you're gonna start somewhere, this...It's a good game to start on. It's...co-op, so we can both...y'know, play at the same time. Like, cooperative.
[Jay sinks the cartridge into the slot with a satisfying thunk.]
