>1997
>be me, 6 years old
>have a little "girlfriend" on the playground in the neighborhood who I see almost every day and I'm very bashful about
>have an older brother who's about 16 at the time, plays mostly PC and PS1 games but occasionally plays the big name N64 stuff
>we go to the mall with my parents one day
>brother starts telling me about this game called Yoshi's Story, trying to hype me up, but I'm disinterested
>he then tells me, "you're going to ask mom and dad for Yoshi's Story or I'm going to tell them you have a girlfriend"
>panic and fear overcome me
>no idea what the fuck this game is, but I immediately beg them to buy it for me
>assume he wants to play the game himself (probably because he had YI on SNES) but didn't want to seem like a faggot for buying le baby gayme
>we bring it home, he doesn't play it all
>plugs it in for me and lets me play it on a little CRT he has on his desk, just watching me for about an hour
>he points things out to me, helps me when I get stuck by the elephant on the first level
>absolutely blown away by the graphics, never seen anything like it before
>amazed at the idea of the levels being made of random objects and textures, the weirdness of the enemies, the equally jolly and unsettling music
>play it over and over for years
>brother never does anything like that for me again, usually doing shitty stuff instead like opening my games early on Christmas and playing them before I wake up
>eventually become estranged and lose contact as we get older
>years go by, sell my N64, games and other consoles for heroin money
>tfw the dope never made me as happy as that one hour my brother spent watching me play Yoshi's Story
