I definitely want to E N T E R.
Crash Bandicoot 1-3 are my favourite PS1 action games and favourite 3D platformers of all time (didn’t play Spyro the Dragon, though; also missed most of the Mario games). I was sooooo proud every time I managed to master a level to get a box gem (1st Crash, you needed to get all boxes and not die once on a level) or the required Golden time, or find any of the many secrets without using hints and walkthroughs.
Heard that the balance is different in remake, and that the controls changed a bit; really wanted to try it for a while.
I didn’t buy the game when it came out because I was shocked by the changes they made to the iconic Crash design. It seemed like it would be Ratchet&Clank all over again: more soft, more simple and no fun anymore. But it’s been a while, so now I’m used to Crash being a bit more furry, soft-lined and realistic.
Concerning good news… That was quite a few years ago, but that was when I knew my current romantic partner was attracted towards me through all the years we’ve been friends.
That was such a relief. I didn’t want to be a creep that makes a friend feel uncomfortable by their own longing for a “deeper” bond, so I spent about 3-5 years (don’t remember already) trying to be the best friend I could be, sometimes trying to touch the romantic ground, but extremely lightly, so it was hard to notice, I guess.
Then there came a day when I couldn’t hide my feelings anymore (also, the relashionships we both tried with other people with other people didn’t work out at all), so I confessed. I thought the answer would be “sorry, i love you, but as a dear friend…” Instead i got something like “YEAH YEAH YEAH YUP YUP LET’S DO THIS I SO TOTALLY AGREE I DON’T WANT TO BE WITH ANYONE ELSE AND YOU’RE MY ONLY LOVE LET’S BE TOGETHER FOREVER”.
And so, we were together ever since (now it’s year 7).
