but I will say this even more strenuously than I've already said it: I'm not really enjoying "Mother 3". Playing it has been work, not entertainment. Occasionally, there'll be a breath of sweeter air. The chapter that's just Lucas and Boney and the spirit of Hinawa in the field of flowers was like an oasis in a desert. The Tazmily townsfolk provide some other emotional moments, and then there's the drug trip on Tanetane Island--but even that felt like a weak attempt at reprising material that was more dramatically and effectively treated in "EarthBound".
When's this game get _good_, dammit? I'm almost to the last chapter.
@chara *snorts* have you decided to be the personality who yells at me to keep me in line?
@chara guess someone has to, to break me out of the spells I put myself under, huh...
ok, Chara, you've got a deal.
it's good to have you back
@kara_dreamer *grins* it's fine. I kinda like being an asshole, you know. you, though...you're _always_ gonna hate it, Kara.
let me be me. I think trying to be grown-up, nicer _me_ was...well, I don't think it was gonna work out. you're too nice, because...you ain't seen what I've seen. not really
@kara_dreamer pfft, someone has to. Monophylos would've have tried, maybe, but would have tried to make it _pretty_, like he was an elegant schoolmaster trying to discipline you. Fancy-ass bullshit. Mona Clark, god knows what she would have tried. probably would have gone all Mettaton EX on you. fun, but...kinda fuckin' weird, too.
so, yeah, I'm volunteering to be the one who tries to tell you when to fuckin' stop
