I have been living a lie this whole time. Apparently, nobody bothered to tell me anything about Nintendo since the '80s. Apparently, the Nintendo Entertainment System is actually old now, and they've moved on to... 3D? Sega is no longer producing consoles and apparently they have made amends with Nintendo, with Sonic the Hedgehog becoming a third-party series. Also, nobody cares about Gyromite or Smick.
This has completely shattered my perception of reality. I will need time to rehabilitate and change. Just what have I been doing these past 40 years? That's the strange thing. I can't remember a thing before Christmas this year. Like I just awoke from an eternal slumber, my memories stripped from me and my very being burned down to a single advertisement and a couple of old games. I can't even remember my name.
For now, this is not a goodbye, I may return, I just... need time to think.
