so i started playing mother 1.
(you can scroll me.)
i've been playing with this rom hack mother restored that's supposed to be a more faithful translation of the original japanese game. i'm no weaboo or anything, but a less bastardized adaptation of foreign media is always a plus in my book, so of course i decided to play that other earthbound beginnings.
i've been liking it a lot. shocker, i know, rpg fan enjoys mother. but what really sort of surprised me is that i like mother 1 a bit more than i do earthbound so far. i've been playing a LITTLE bit of eb alongside mother 1, just so i don't get bored out of my fucking gourd, and maybe it's because i haven't made it very far, but it really just isn't grabbing me quite so much as mother 1 is.
for the first few days i played an unhealthy amount of this game. i mean, for real, like three days went down the toilet with me sitting on my ass with my little modded snes classic, grinding away at this fuckass video game. i'm in the advent desert now (yucca desert for you eb:b freaks) and i just. why is it so hard.
i mean, the difficulty spike is insane. i don't get it. rosemary manor? i could handle rosemary manor. the last starman? i took it out in two turns. but for some reason, the moment i make it to advent desert, these fuckers are team wiping me in one turn.
so uggghhhh just a fuckton more grinding i guess. the guide said i should get ana to level 18 roughly and then i should be fine, but like. MAN she's level 16 now and i am DECIDEDLY NOT FUCKING FINE.
so yeah. i haven't been playing it that much the past two days because i'm angry at it but fuck's sake, i know who i am-- i give it another day tops before i go crawling back and beat the game because i truly have no life.
