The existential dread of trying to figure out what to do after you finish a long and involved game is practically a universal experience – what do they expect us to do? Just go about our lives as normal? How could anyone possibly do that? And it’s a dread that poor, sweet Chrissy Teigen is being gripped by at present.
Everyone’s favourite Twitter best friend just played her way through the intensely good Super Mario Odyssey and, bless her heart, she’s having conniptions over how to resume normal life.
Does… does she go back through the game and run the risk of becoming a completionist? Does she try and best her previous personal best times? Does she do trivial, pointless shit like feed her family? WHO KNOWS.

Can 100% relate, TBH.
Fortunately, mates stepped in to give a couple of helpful suggestions, like ponder the cruel absence of a series favourite.

Or shift focus to another well-loved classic of the series.

But the biggest brain buster came from a fan who calmly informed Chrissy that the “end” of Super Mario Odyssey is really only the beginning.

Time is a flat circle and Mario is forever. The sooner everyone accepts that as an absolute fact the better off everyone will be.
Go chase the moons, Chrissy. Real life can always wait.
