In Response To: Re: Eternal X Tour of Duty Chapter 1 Stage 2 (Lion O Cyborg)

: I've never blamed her for it. I blame myself as it was all my fault and
: there's no way I can undo my mistake. I thought of making the mod as
: trying to explain myself and how disgusted with myself I am for making her
: feel the way she does about me.

: It's affected my mental wellbeing to this day.

: This is reflected with my ideas for some of the game worlds like the
: penultimate chapter, which is a volcanic wasteland, the final one which is
: a computer hardware themed void with shadowy versions of previous
: monsters, the final boss against the Core which is inspired by the Icon of
: Sin and the Masked Man (whose John Romero easter egg hidden inside the
: boss would be represented my myself curled up in despair) the final escape
: where the world collapses and even some of the other bosses, including a
: plant-like zombie named after my terror and guilt of how she sees me, that
: spawns grey PID oozes.

: Yes, I have every intention of owning up to it. Any similarities to the real
: world in the mod are supposed to be subtle if/when implemented if I make
: this, so it would just appear to anyone as yet another Lovecraftian themed
: FPS. The general idea outside the mod is to apologise in person to her the
: way you describe, assuming I ever see her again. I am also scared of this
: going wrong as communication difficulties on my part are a main reason the
: debacle even happened and I'm terrified that may end up making things
: worse by my not knowing how to word myself right.

If you absolutely NEED to put the apology in the game, you only need two words: I'm Sorry.

There. That's it. It shouldn't be more complicated than that. Any more and it would be too cringey for her and anybody who just came to play a fun PID-like mod.

I had to learn this stuff the hard way. The highest state of love is accepting that you should leave them be. The movies sugar coat it. It sucks. Just knowing that you did the right thing for them doesn't make it suck less. Wallowing in self-pity doesn't do anybody favors. I'm shooting in the dark here, but my hypothesis is, what she liked about you was you, the real you, the you that was a companion, not an obsessive sop. Better to try to be the kind of man she would want (and more importantly, the kind of person you want to be) than to punish yourself.

Naming a PID mod after her and/or making it about her would be, in the words of one of my female friends, she might think it's creepy or odd. It should just be a good game for everyone where that IRL/personal/Freudian related stuff is non-existent unless you're looking for it or know about it already.
