I was just thinking about what got me into different things like anime/ games/ comics etc and thought it would be fun to see what brought others into the fold. For me it was
Anime: Princess Mononoke, saw it when I was 10? And it completely floored me with the art style, story, and lore. Still my favorite anime movie to this day.
Video games: Sega Genesis/ sonic the hedgehog and altered beast with my older brother were great times when I was little and got me into gaming.
Comics: Spider-Man and X-men on fox kids in the 90s and Spawn in 97. My first official comic/ graphic novel was Wolverine: Origin
Twelve years...
You should probably have diversified away from only Steam a little sooner.
I mean, I use a couple of of distributors, but I never got into GOG, for whatever reason.
Well, now's the time! It doesn't require an internet connection to play, so once you have it, you have it. You could wait for a sale... but you'll just pay slightly less.
