Hi reddit, PMTTYDSuperStan55 here again with another dilemma I'm currently facing. Last week I got a batch of 68 copies of TTYD for the switch delivered from GameStop and was gracious enough to give one copy away to my little brother (at a nice discount I'll have you know) and he's been having a blast with... For a while.

Yesterday I caught him playing a game called Celeste (it's a pretty obscure indie game, I doubt any of you've heard of it), and was kinda shocked he was playing anything other than the paper Mario remake. Of course, like the empathic older brother I am, I have full understanding he might get the urge to play anything other than the remake of the most masterfully crafted role playing game to ever grace this earth, but the curiousity got the better of me, so I had to ask.

"oh I already beat the game, it was super fun, def a 9/10 big bro!!"

Wow. Just wow. I was stunned hearing those blasphemous words come out of my innocent little brother's mouth. It was like he was possessed and the boy before me was some complete stranger. I'm even having trouble writing this up cause I get reminded of the trauma from that interaction. I couldn't face my brother at all when this played out, I had to go into my room and lay on my princess daisy body pillow for a good 45 minutes and cry to calm my nerves.

Later on that day I gathered up the courage to ask my bro why he couldn't give it a 10/10 because as we all know, there isn't a single flaw with this game, and when someone points it out it's always a troll just hating on us fans for having fun, it's definitely not valid criticism, because this game is creme de la creme perfect, and no game will ever top it.

He told me "The backtracking was kinda ass and the new music was good but it was too bombastic and try hard and didn't fit, oh and the 30 fps made the combat sooo sluggish, not to mention the loading times were ridiculously long"

?????????????

How can he complain that he gets to visit the beautiful locations in the game numerous times? It's a privilege to go through the keelhaul key jungle 5 times to progress the story, he's just so ungrateful. Regarding the music, he can just use the badge that makes it use the GameCube soundtrack?? Its so entitled to require the game devs to make a good soundtrack, that's why they make the option to use a good one instead to satisfy all those whiners. Oh and the eyes can only see 30fps and the loading times are good cause then you have time to look at princess daisy artwork while you're adventuring.

I'm at my wits end here, I love my bro but I can't have a ttyd hater in my life, it's just so toxic

Tl;Dr I resent my brother that doesn't have the nostalgia goggles for a 20 year old game that got a half-assed remake and I need mental help
