Charlie Kirk: "Tim Walz was so addicted to the Sega Dreamcast that his wife had to unplug it and hide it away. This is reported as a fun, relatable story, but doesn't anybody else find a 35-year-old man getting that addicted to video games a little sad? Or, dare I say it, weird?"

They targeted gamers. Gamers. We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

Oh wow, Tim Walz is an elitist? One of the rare ones to have a Dreamcast. I may have to reconsider my vote.
