Undertale - Pet dogs and date a skeleton!

OH!

Spoiler

That's almost certainly one of those secret path things, if I'm remembering correctly? If so, you need to just walk around a bunch until you walk into the dark area and then just follow that.

near the bottom left there's a veeery thin path where if you look carefully, the background stars (the ones that you see when you're near the dancer swords) look like they're going beneath something. It's very hard to spot though.

Rouxls Kaard voice acting




I know RK is just the new fuckman,,,, wnd and Toby got me

Spoiler

I gotta say Rouxls Kaard is literally the third guy I’ve ever considered cosplaying as, purely for the entertainment value.

so I know people have noted that you save over Kris's save in the game, like it says 'Kris' when you go to save and then changes to your name after... and I've also heard that naming yourself or your character Gaster makes the game flip on you.
so I wanted to see what would happen if you name YOURSELF Kris.
and I learned that
a. if you do this, the text before discarding your creation tells you that 'you are about to meet someone very wonderful' or something to that effect
b. if you do this, when you go to save, the save is straight-up empty. there's no name, there's nothing there.
I'm not sure if this is really that significant, but I DID find it interesting that....naming yourself Kris removes the seemingly pre-existing save of Kris themselves entirely, as opposed to when you name yourself literally anything else and save over Kris's save.

 

Spoiler: deltarune

According to this post, naming yourself Susie will give you the same message, but naming yourself Ralsei has no special effect. My guess is that Ralsei is the “someone very wonderful” who the message is referring to.

 

Spoiler: deltarune

I on various accounts use variations of Chris as a name. Mostly Chrys but I have used others. It was enough to give me a moment of pause when the game renamed me cause I had thought it had managed to pull it from somewhere on my computer. Had to confirm with friend on what the game had named her.

Overall very enjoyed my experience.

Lancers face gives me the body horror jeebjes tho. Ended up with the firm impression that the spade shape is a hole and therefore his head is entirely hollow and you could just stick a hand in there.

 

Spoiler: if it helps

there's at least one time where he makes an expression where he has eyes, implying that the spade is a mask

and i'm very strongly rooting for something like this to turn out the case.

Spoiler

look at those spade-shaped ears. look at the dogginess adding to the way the bottom of the spade could be a nose, at how the shape of his mouth and his tongue usually being out suggests a dog

 

my thoughts on deltarune now that i've finished

Spoiler

asgore sad.
CHARA(???) SCARY
susie and ralsei ADORABLE

Spoiler: DR

"the great yeet"

 

Spoiler: My overall DR thoughts

Okay, so there's something Weird going on in the tone of Deltarune vs Undertale and I think I've figured it out?

So if Undertale is Earthbound, then Deltarune is Mother 3. EB is like a cute coming-of-age story with some weird shit and some dark shit sprinkled in, but fundamentally it's a story about growing up and going on an adventure, and becoming independent from your parents (Homesickness is literally a status effect that you stop getting by the end of the game) and the power of friendship.

Spoiler: MOTHER 3 SPOILERS ALL UP IN

Mother 3 is also about growing up, but in this case Lucas is growing up because his mom is dead and his brother is missing and his father isn't dealing well with it at all. There's still adventure, and there's still weird jokes, but Mother 3 is a much more melancholy game overall and you definitely cry like a lot. Mother 3 is also probably about broken families, or something? Like Lucas's family is, as previously mentioned, turbofucked. Kumatora is an orphan raised by immortal fairies and then she gets to watch most of them die. Duster's dad is The Worst and might be why Duster has a permanent limp? We never hear anything dramatic about Boney's parents but Boney is. A Dog. Anyway Mother 3 is very good at making you sad, especially the final boss which is just a heartbreaking encounter. I cried a lot.

Anyway in light of this I am Extremely Concerned for Deltarune's hypothetical later chapter.

Non story related similarities to Mother 3: as opposed to Earthbound, which didn't have anything really crazy going on sprite-wise, Mother 3 has some stunning animation throughout the game. Check out 'Flint's Rage' (early game spoilers) on YouTube, and compare it to Susie slamming our protagonist into the lockers.

Anyway this is all I can think of at the moment, mostly I'm tired of typing.

 

Considering the full meme and that depression can also be this empty feeling....

 

have we passed the point where all deltarune stuff needs to be under spoilertags, or should that still be a thing?

Spoiler: just in case

just another little hint at sans's meta-awareness.

I've been wondering about the very little dialogue we get with him in DR. He's obviously trolling the player by refusing to admit what exactly he knows, but I kind of wonder if he isn't also indicating to Kris that he knows about the predicament they're in? ...does he know the predicament they're in, or does he think they're just Frisk or Chara again and still has no idea that the player exists? I should stop trying to theorize based on literally like four lines of dialogue.
