literally how people describe actual awesome indie rpgs nowadays (bonus points if they havent even played the game themselves)
(Insert game)? Ah hell nah another quirky earthbound inspired indie rpg
Are you kidding me? Have YOU even played the game at all? Sure it may contain earthbound aesthetics/inspos but don’t go around hating because of “oh wow another earthbound game”. Just go play it. There’s literally a millions of those out there.

A term people often use to slander "quirky" indie turn-based RPG games that have similarities in terms of gameplay or themes that tackle mental health issues such as depression. Often used for indie games that are inspired or has the same vibe with the "Earthbound/MOTHER" series, hence the sentence.
Person A: Dude you should play OMORI, this game is so depressing.
Person B: Ah yes, the quirky earthbound inspired indie rpg.
Person A: bruh who cares about that! It's a great game anyway!
