   One day, a school friend drops by my house to show me Super Metroid, "this game I could never beat", and I happened to have a guide in a Nintendo magazine to help him do it. I'd go on to like that series the most. This was very late. GameCube era. I still played my SNES, since that would be my last console until the Wii U in ~2015.
   
   Before that, I was into Mega Man. I played everything Mega Man I could get my hands on. The original series, the X series, Game Boy games, spin offs, &c. Then Metroid came along and took its place.
   
   But before that, I was super into Sonic the Hedgehog. :0210: I only had Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles; but would play them a lot. I would draw the characters too. Years later, I was drawing robots from Mega Man X, with Sonic mostly forgotten until I saw Sonic Mania ~23 years later.
   
   Point is... I think Mega Man saved me from growing up to be a diaper-wearing furry with an inflation fetish.
   
   Other lads weren't that lucky. 😔
   
   Protect kids from Sonic. 🙏
