I am a little bit worried that Devolver wants to get in on this, I heard they treat their developers like poo poo and are trying really aggressively to be the biggest indie darling company out there. Still, it's better than the alternative of Toby burning out on the project for the next 7 years or hiring 20 idea guys off Twitter to ultimately decide that the entire thing is now tainted and he needs to shut it down.

Yup, Ralsei seems extremely possessive in a way that might bite the whole town in the rear end
Kind of like that Twilight Zone kid just warping reality to fit his simplified view of the world

It did piss me off how most remixes of ASGORE had one note wrong because that was the most widely shared mid

The rules card is really the most powerful card in any game. It defines the others, while staying on the sidelines.

Its permanent in theory, but Cinemasins' "everything wrong with Friday the 13th Part 2" keeps showing up for me despite the concept of the video itself viscerally offending me.

Some recommendations are history-based, some are location-based. Can't do anything about the latter, if the Algorithm decides "every [country resident] needs to watch THIS now", it'll keep adding it to the list based on your IP. Check out if you still get that video in incognito mode.

my favorite is that the Knight is the character we discarded before the game began

That would make the game even more like Moon. UT was already compared to it, especially the Japanese release

And yeah I can definitely see the player eavesdropping on offscreen conversations in later chapters, with Kris getting an emotive character portrait

so now i keep seeing undertale fangames in my youtube recommendations. Are any of them good?

I've mentioned Undertale Yellow before and the demo they've got released for it (roughly the length of UT's demo) has got me hopeful because they get the material. The writing's good, the music is almost up to par and it does the same setting-up-punchlines-via-gameplay extremely well. The fact that this is a prequel is driven home by a repeat of the Flowey tutorial, but with him being genuinely helpful

More Earthbound is always good.

Honestly I'm convinced that it was never meant to be a metagram (that's when you change a single letter!) of Frisk, just a relatively common androgynous name without going with Alex like everybody else

Anyone who could make it through the Omega Flowey fight and then tell Undyne that anime isn't real with a straight face has no soul.

All series you previously thought to be animated are in fact live-action. The Japanese government is pumping you full of drugs to disguise the shameful fact that Korean outsourcing houses unionized decades ago. Anime isn't real. It doesn't exist!

Yeah, with the amount of speculation floating around and people finding additional foreshadowing in the Japanese translation, I feel like the community already has some endgame poo poo spoiled

An episodic release would be like Westworld season one, the biggest reveals ruined for people who couldn't stay offline for months. Getting the whole thing all at once means you can take your time to parse it on its own

Why are the As different? No, wait, it's the whole font and it's not the one in official logos. Is it a caps thing? Some pixelfonts have a different set of caps for lowercase letters, could be the DTP person just pasted UNDERTALEDeltarune real quick

Said it before, but I died to Asgore on purpose 20 times (to the point where the CHECK dialogue stops changing and just increments a number) before getting the courage to even touch the FIGHT button and I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe it's inefficient to play like this, but aren't streamers paid more if they stretch the content anyway?

Except that Papyrus literally cannot kill you. He decides on his own that he'd rather be friends with you rather than capture you and achieve glory. You can run into every single bone he throws at you and make absolutely no effort to befriend him and he'll still let you go.

If you don't know that he makes you waste items, which is far worse than dying

One thing that irks me with the True Pacifist ending is that the Asgore fight fakeout doesn't feel like a direct consequence of the player's actions. Toriel does say that she only had time to arrive because Frisk was constantly taking detours befriending everyone, going on dates and solving the True Lab, but mechanically it feels like a guard disappearing in an adventure game because you found the cat's mustache or whatever three screens east, just a videogame trigger.

Everything that happens afterwards is still A+ (let's just say... a tiny flower helped me.) but I just can't shake the feeling about that specific moment

I had literally never even used the attack command my entire playthrough because I'd played the demo and accidentally killed Toriel and all that. I think it had to get up to "more times than you can count" before I tried actually fighting Asgore.
I expected that to be the norm, with attackers being the minority of players. I guess it's harder to fight old habits

Is the Snowgrave damage always 1779 or is it random? I thought this was another 1997 reference but it might just be pattern recognition in overdrive
