~Fun with Mother 1 - Livin on easy street
Man I haven't felt this miserable in a while. I thought I was doing alright a day or two ago but I'm hitting a point where I want to curl up under my desk and not come out ever, which is a definite step down. Sort of teetering on the edge of randomly having tears rise up without any emotional connection responsible, but not quite there yet. Maybe

Yeah, the theme seems really appropriate... it sounds familiar, like it was in Earthbound somewhere even though I'm not sure it was.
Oh so the Easy Ring is an item you can pick up. :o That's a good way to do it I guess. So you can just decide if you want it or not when you're playing the port.
(A POX ON LIMITED INVENTORIES)
Yeah but on the other hand it makes you REALLY appreciate games that just let you carry however much you feel like stuffing in your pockets, until you have an entire wagon train's worth of weapons, magic components, rings, pendants, potions, and armor for literally every type of enemy you might face. haha not that my character in any game that lets me do it is " ( ... )

and then never use any of it, because what if you need it later? WHAT IF you need these 40 Kraken Soups later? Huh? what then. Haha actually I think the best thing I've seen for inventory stuff iiiiis... The Enchanted Cave 2 (dungeon crawler with optional story (it's there if you go around and talk to people and if you read stuff you find, but you can also ignore it)). You can carry as much stuff as you want BUT anything that's not marked as an artifact (some stuff is to start with, plus there's a spell to do it if you find something you really like) disappears when you leave the dungeon. So you don't end up hoarding health/mana potions so much and you actually use them. Or at least I did.
Ohhhh yeah, that's right. I wonder if that means there'll be more of them later... tougher ones. :O

It's late, so I'll read it in the morning, but I wanted to say two things now.
First off, in the video where Mr. Itoi announced the Virtual Console version, he described the series thusly: “It is a game that is peculiar... and fun... and kind...”
Man can that guy turn a phrase. It's just such a perfect encapsulation of everything that makes Earthbound... well, Earthbound.
Second, when I first started playing the Mother1+2 patch, I went “Easy Ring? Pshaw. I don't need that. I'm a manly man! I don't need no coddling!”
I made it ~15-20 minutes before I equipped it.
