To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ stat to understand MOTHER . The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of PSI most of the concepts will go over a typical player’s head. There's also Jeff’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Winters literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these concepts, to realize that they're not just intruging- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike MOTHER truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the innocence in Mr. Saturn's nonsensical catchphrase "BOING!" I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Itoi’s genius unfolds itself on their SNES screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Runaway Five tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that their IQ stat is within 5 points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
