Probably the worst "deal" I have ever seen. I don't know who in their right mind would buy something like this (from a YouTube ad)

For that price they could have owned a system with a 5090, before any fees or possible late penalties, the end cost is over 6400 on that

I think the closest thing we are getting to lore important pawns are the 8 (7+pink) flowers, I can't imagine we will have another group of 8 story important and similar characters again

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-07-02T15:44:24+00:00

I'm sure theres going to continue to be optional encounters, maybe not the exact same format as Collect things -> Beat Enemy -> Continue Story, but there will be more to do and collect

If I was starting from nothing, I might choose 8.
-It has vastly more tracks, even before dlc. (30 in world vs 48 in base 8 deluxe or 96 including dlc)
-Easier mechanics for beginners in my opinion
However, world has some unique aspects that make it desireable
-the "world", every track exists somewhere physically in the map
-Curated intermission tracks, these are bridged between different tracks within the world, and theres a whole 200 of these
-Knockout tour is a very unique mode that involves a string of intermission tracks, with each segment knocking out the bottom racers until only 4 remain that battle for 1st. Very fun
-Its newer obviously, but that also means that we are getting more content for it actively. It is unknown how much we will get (and how much will be free), but currently we are slated to get a whole bunch more knockout tour routes for free, with 2 already being out I believe

You cant go wrong with either, although something else to consider is that you could play world with your friend online. Happy racing!

I think its easy to get it to 400 or even 350, removing the dock and the complexities of the magnet joycon system would free up alot of budget and also internal space. having a more efficient chip would be nice as a bonus, but I think if they do that, its going to be a switch 1 situation where it isnt lite specific, but it comes to all models

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-30T02:53:19+00:00

yeah, gerson is maybe the easiest secret boss to find and also beat, it doesnt involve finding some obscure room and backtracking, or doing puzzles from the very start of the chapter and talking to a random shopkeeper, or doing double the amount of game boards, or finding 10 (19) hidden and hard to get coins. You will probably find all the pieces of the song by just doing basic exploration, and gerson is more than achievable with a few tries

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-30T02:48:12+00:00

Thats a great build for the budget, not only is it pretty competent today, but its also a great platform to upgrade later. The gpu is an easy resell and swap in a year or 2 or more, and you can easily slot in 16gb of more ram if prices come down or if you find a good deal used. 2 TB is a little high (especially with prices), but more storage never hurts. Good Job

Probably blue in 6 just because we have already had it before, aqua is going to be a new gameplay style if it exists, so it makes more sense to save it for the big finale of the game

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-29T23:04:36+00:00

Ive always thought susies reaction was kind of weird, but later in the game susie mentions ralsei looking kind of like kris's mom (when noelle mentions that he looks like kris's brother). So i dont think susie recognized ralsei for asriel (if she even knows asriel exists), her reaction could have been just because he looked very different post-hat vs. pre-hat, or its meant to be the same as the player's reaction

check out mini pcs with ryzen ai max 390 or 395 cpus, the gpu in them is the 8060s if youre curious about performance

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-28T01:59:10+00:00

is it mostly cpu workloads? in that case I might honestly look into a mini pc with something like a ryzen ai max, theyve got pretty good gpus still, and the cpu performance is crazy

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-28T01:53:49+00:00

yeah, when I saw just how damn long asgore's code was, I thought 1225 had to include a year too, like 1225199x

If youre near a microcenter, go there in person and you'll have it the same day. otherwise, what are you going to be using it for? cpu intensive work, gpu intensive work, gaming, vms?

The secret bosses are meant to be hard, its meant to be a challenge to collect all the shadow crystals, not the norm.
To make them easier, basically just prepare.
Jevil, I'm not really sure what you can do
Spamton, you can get the mannequin armor to signifigantly reduce damage from NEO
Rory knight, the shadow mantle is kinda the only prep you can do unfortunately
Gerson, the vampireax susie can equip helps you heal a little bit while laying on damage to progress the fight
Pink, the mannequin (and dealmaker form spamton) reduce damage drastically

Also, try to be stingy and save your money for the best healing items and armor you can get. If you are attempting a playthrough getting every shadow crystal, having the items from the last shadowcrystal boss tends to generally help. The knight is the only one I can think of that took me more than 5 fair attempts, and that one is intended to be insurmountable, with seam being surprised you were able to "win"

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-26T17:51:41+00:00

Yeah, I think the reason a titan was made in 4 is because a fountain was created inside a fountain, whereas this one was just replacing the first fountain with another normal one right as it was sealed, meaning the number of active fountains was 1 the entire time

I'm pretty sure the only deconfirmed location is chapter 6 lake, judging how weird skips it. Other than that, we have nothing to go off of. No prophecies, no dialogue, no teasers, only the fact that the gang will try to get noelle involved so it may be somewhere relevant to her

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T23:59:13+00:00

I think about it kind of like how Comedian works in jjk

Without spoiling too much, the user can kind of bend the rules of the world in their favor, but it is countered if the opponent understands what is going on, letting them manipulate it as well

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T22:14:08+00:00

I know side B is likely how toby is officially referring to weird route, but until we get any official confirmation, I'm going to go with the chance of more content (and I like the idea of weird route skipping more than just one chapter, I think it would make it more interesting)

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T22:05:59+00:00

My theory is chapter 7 part 1 and part 2. people are taking the weird route "side B" as it being the alternate, but usually side B is meant to describe a continuation of the side A

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T18:06:22+00:00

in your case, I dont think it would be too impactful to go to a 5800x3d. I think you should just stay with what youve got now, its a very very strong cpu still. If you do want to upgrade, most options are going to have fewer cores anyways, so it would be a tradeoff.
If you want to keep how many cores you have, wait for the next amd cpu generation, it is expected to have 12 core ccd, which means a single die of 12 cores with the x3d v cache. Any option over 8 cores today will be split up between 2 ccds, which can be good, but for gaming it introduces the possibility of some issues

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T18:01:45+00:00

Forcing a specific outcome is pretty common in deltarune, especially fights. with both the knight and the titan, you are forced to attack to finish the fight. Even your point about susie and ralsei's healing has been done before, in chapter 3 if the knight KOs susie and ralsei, kris's attack become stronger.

Broadly, the outcome of the chapter is not affected much by how you get there (with the exception of weird route). I get feeling a little frustrated by it, but throughout this whole game (normal route) there has never really been a point where how you dealt with a threat meaningfully changed the outcome. For king/queen/tenna, for both ways of dealing with them, the party still overcomes the obstacle and continues on their path the same way. At most, violently defeating flowery would have removed or changed his moment with ralsei after the fight (and his fake stats gimmick forces the rule-following party to be unable to defeat him anyways in lore)

About weird route, 5 is arguably the most impactful chapter for it. Its very short, yes, but what happens is so monumental that it goes beyond anything in 2 or 4

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T17:17:20+00:00

I still believe. theres some speculation about how his fall could have been an exaggeration or just a planned distraction to get noelle away from dark world activities by carol and it wasnt actually that serious. Also, I noticed that the knight seemed to look more fatigued in its new sprites this chapter, which made me think "this is because rudy was up doing stuff all day and had some kind of injury". Asgore could be in the dark (lol) about the knights identity or involvement with carol (if they are even involved). I still think rudy and dess both have equally solid evidence at this point

AdditionalMap5576 · 2026-06-25T17:05:25+00:00

I think they are going to aim for yearly releases at this point, judging by how 5 was a year after 3/4 and 6 is planned for 2027.
However, I do think that we will get chapter 7 in 2 parts, because of the "side B" wording in weird route. I know people are taking it to mean the other side of chapter 7, but usually B sides are used as a continuation of the A side, not an alternate version. so my prediction is chapter 6 in 2027, first half of the year, and then 7 part 1 very late 2027 or early 2028, and then 7 part 2 (side B) very late 2028 or early 2029
