I like Undertale but I think its okay for other people to not like it if they aren't stupid about it. Just like every other video game.

Every time I go to SDCC, I see the two of them sitting at their expensive, middle of the action booth staring alone with mild contempt as every other major web comic booth is slammed and theirs remains quiet. But then who the hell would go to SDCC to see the Penny Arcade guys?

I'm older than him and I have no idea what the gently caress he's saying here.

I mean, that's kind of a lie, I sort of comprehend his basic point, but it's so stupid and wrapped in double reverse irony I couldn't possibly give less of two hot shits.

When you write "I don't recognize it as a game" in regards to any popular game, it should be a clue to yourself that maybe you're full of your own poo poo and need to take a step back and let "the kids" enjoy what they enjoy.

Like I can understand someone saying that about something like Yume Nikki where there's barely any gameplay to speak of, but Undertale has a bunch of standard game mechanics. Its not trying to push the boundary on what can be considered a game.

Nobody has cared about Penny Arcade in years. Mostly because Tycho and Gabe are kind of douchebags and people started to realize.

PAX is decent though, not that they can take too much responsibility for that

Even back in the day their success was entirely due to sheer luck and the fact that they hired an accountant to monetize them. They could shut down the comic today and live the rest of their lives off of PAX without having to pay taxes thanks to Child's Play.

well, a lot of people actually do feel like they have to have a strong opinion about Undertale, just like at one point people felt like they weren't allowed to say "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea? I guess it's alright".

i'm just bitter that Her Story didn't become a much bigger deal, it just kind of came and went. at least the lady won an award on The Official Video Game Awards (that nobody watches or cares about).

I have a friend who still reads PA and I asked when the art had become so bad and he hadn't even noticed.

The problem the art in PA is he's blatantly copying style choices from his friends who can draw and doing so without rhyme or reason so the art is just a loving ugly mess.

It's really funny how touchy both of them are about their "art" and how loving garbage they both are.

It doesn't help that the strip us bad and somehow continues to get worse, making strips from the darnedest things their kids said, or some had to be there in joke. Even their game tastes have gotten worse.

I just wrote too much about that. I rang in the new year with Bloodborne. It's amazing how much faster the second run goes. I started this morning and after just playing before my friend came over this afternoon, I'm already up to the forest.

I think only Actual Children would get mad at someone who thinks Undertale is just ok.

Earthbound is one of my favorite games ever and I am a huge weenie so I'm firmly the target audience for Undertale, but I don't feel like I should be screaming at other people to play it or anything. You pretty much know if it's for you or not just by watching the trailer.

There is no need for anyone to get upset about this indie game. Or any other indie game.

Goons are mentally Actual Children and some of them definitely get mad about other people not liking the game they like.

IDK about Undertale specifically but it's happened with plenty of other games.
