There are more Mary Sues than Gary Stus in fiction because women aren’t written as people I’m a lot of media, so they aren’t allowed to have the realistic flaws that keep them from being Mary Sues.

Light is a power fantasy, but I wouldn’t call him a Stu because he’s a megalomaniac and has an actual personality. He also fails at the end.

Stark has his own personality issues, but some of the TV shows fail to highlight those so he does come off as a Stu.

The biggest Mary Sue and Fary Stu genres are romance where you’re supposed to self insert, so the MC has to be very plain and boring and just like the reader or viewer. Romance novels for women and harem anime for men.

What do they do?

If I’m going to live in an authoritarian shithole I might as well live in the authoritarian shithole that has a reasonable cost of living and public transport. Which is China.

It was such a long time ago I just remember more of the vibes than the solid reasons I didn’t like it.

*The levels weren’t as open as 64. It felt more guardrailed. There was a lot less exploration.

*My favourite thing in 64 was getting flying caps and flying around which wasn’t a thing in Sunshine.

*64 had a darker, more mysterious tone that felt a lot more meaningful and Sunshine felt very frivolous

*cleaning up the sludge wasn’t a very fun minigame for me, it was a weird villain

By itself it was probably a good game but it shouldn’t have been a Mario game.

I just want fruit with actual flavor that makes me want to eat it than the tasteless shit we get now in the US

I had got it solely for Twilight Princess but that game was a huge letdown for me too.

Your entertainment center is so cool I didn’t even notice the so called “mess”.

Gamecube.

The other consoles were pushing for more, but instead the Gamecube only cared about being small?

I was fresh off Nintendo 64 so I was expecting Banjo-threeie (STOP N SWAP had been so hyped), other awesome Rare games, a new Mario, the new Zelda, and finally a Pokemon game on a modern console!

Hahaha

Mario Sunshine was such a bad game that had none of Mario 64’s soul I never touched another Mario game after that. I hated the art of Zelda Windwaker and that it had lost all the dark vibes, and obviously none of the other games I was expecting never happened. I felt completely scammed for being loyal to Nintendo. I taught me to never be loyal to a brand.

The one and only game I enjoyed on that system was Metroid Prime, but as a child I was only allowed one new console like every 5 years and I deeply regretted not getting a PS2 instead like my friends.

Probably the one about Luigi as it’s been documented Reddit is banning people just for upvoting those.

Refusing to learn cursive and long form division in 3rd grade. Never needed either.
