We dated for 4 weeks. First date, we are EATING each others, everything's great.

Then comes the lovebombing, of course. We say it's a bit unhealthy jokingly and we slow it down but we talk everyday. We see each other several times a week.

Everything's great.

But then, tonight, after 2 days of barely talking, I insist she talks to me. She talks about past traumas, needing space, not being emotionnaly available.

2 days earlier we had the best night ever.

This is why it's so hard. What happened ? Why ?

I'm not stupid, I know all the bullshit about the "need space" thing as I did it myself (I'm 28M), but it hurts.

It hurts because before tonight we had something great going on.

It hurts because I only think about what could have been and not what has been.

It hurts because I talked to her everyday every minute and I have no replacement for that.

It hurts because I'm sick now, didn't leave m'y appartment for the day and I feel lonlier than ever.

I oversell my title a bit, I didn't finish it yet.

I have to go to the moon from the Bob-Omb russian base.

But god, oh god, is it THAT good.

I had high expectations considering its status and how fans GLAZE the fuck out of this game.

Surprisingly, it exceeded them.

To be fair, I played till the end of chapter 3 the first time, around 2016. But it was on Dolphin, I only knew Sticker Star and Color Splash, and my knowledge of the series was trash.

I started with Sticker Star and enjoyed it. Didn't know Paper Mario besides Super Paper Mario for Wii, which I didn't understand from the trailers at the time.

The Color Splash, which was a BLAST for me, especially the music and the Koopalings.

Then I played Super Paper Mario, which I adored, and finally Origami King, which I adored even more.

But SON DO THESES GAMES NOT EVEN TOUCH WHAT IS THOUSAND-YEAR DOOR.

The story, the characters, the settings, the side-plots, the humor, the STORYYYYYYY!! Omg?? It's so good.

Only grief I have with the game is the huge amount of backtracking. I hated how much I had to go to the Shadow Town, the Church, and again, and again, to search for Rumpel's name (Dooplis in english I think ?).

Now I have to search for General White (don't know if he has the same name in english, he's called Général Blanc in french) and I smell the backtracking again.

But am I glad I took the Switch version with the fast-travel pipes. Without it I would have quit already when I had to go to the dragon's castle twice to search for a chest and then the secret badge.

But still, what a game. I love the trio of ghost ladies, all, ALL the partners, the penguin from the train, Bowser, Peach, Tech, Goomstein...

I understand the glaze.
