I honestly preferred the incel version of you to whatever monstrosity came up with this unholy and defiled thought

I did have a better time with Super Paper Mario because I barely ever seen nor personally played TTYD. PM64 is also great, but platforming with rpg elements does make a respected combo.

Honestly, gameplay aside (though Super's platforming focus is way more fun, IMO, and much easier to dodge attacks), Super just has the unequivocally superior story - its narrative, of Count Bleck wanting to destroy all words, is ever-present throughout, unlike Grodus' vague plan.

I guess this is one of those banning people type days

Count Bleck's actions also directly impact the various worlds, by having his black hole grow larger as the game progresses, not to mention what happens to Sammer's Kingdom, and his motives are actually explained - it makes sense why he feels this is the best plan. NONE of this is true for Grodus.

"it's easier to dodge attacks"
If you enjoy a.game more when it's easier, perhaps you should just play super pstw instead

Paper Mario 64 has a better story than TTYD - because Bowser's an actual threat, straight-up defeating Mario at the start and providing a clear enemy throughout. Grodus is a non-factor for most of the game, and the Shadow Queen comes out of nowhere at the very end - they're bad villains.

Am I the only person playing these games for the fun gameplay?
I guess Minecraft sucks too because "muh bhad story"
Super paper Mario is just not fun and the beginning of the end for the paper Mario series - couldn't bring myself to finish that slogfest

..."Fun gameplay" is subjective, and depends on the person's interests - and in this case, I had a lot more fun playing Super Paper Mario than 64 or TTYD. Those two games were made for CRTs, and thus timing action commands is made trickier on flatscreens; there's also the boring Peach segments to consider, and the backtracking to find General White.

In my case, I tried to replay TTYD via Dolphin last year, yet I couldn't bring myself to finish that true slogfest - the gameplay bored me, the story bored me, none of the characters were interesting, and I really hate the Peach segments and the restrictive level-up system. I did play a good chunk, but quit at that stupid General White part.

I did play it on crt so that might explain some of it
I like RPGs and SPM's move away from RPG to whatever the heck they were going for really turned me away
Wish they would make another Mario RPG (not just a remake)

That last point? I fully agree with you there; the last new Mario RPG was 2020's Origami King, which...meh, bored me even more than TTYD did. It's a real shame that the M&L team went bankrupt after Bowser's Inside Story 3D, because that was a damn-fine remake; though Paper Jam was also mediocre as hell...I did enjoy Dream Team, though.
