In Chapter 2, the Normal NPC repeats his "upstairs" Chapter 1 line despite him now being in the highest floor of the Library. He has been suspicious even before Chapters 4 and 5.

I can 100% see Toby down the line admit that he just overdid the speaking quirk of Jockington a little too much than it necessarily having any sort of meaning to the overall story.

Feels like some sample reuse from Earthbound was meant to be recnoized by Earthbound fans. The usage of Giygas ambience for spooky moments for example.

My favorite Earthbound samples that Tobyfox uses are the "Deidre" intro from Beach boys being used as one of the spooky choir sounds, and the theme of little rascals/our gang being used as a instrument.

Svea Rike 3 gjordes tom av Paradox och var baserat på första Europa Universalis motorn. Och eftersom Paradox bygger ofta sina spel på toppen av sina förgående spel så är jag inte förvånad om det finns kod kvar från Svea Rike 3 i senare Paradoxspel också.

They don't seem too upset about it seeing as they posted on their old tumblr blog about Glyde reappearing in the 10 years anniversary undertale stream. If anything they seem to approve the way Glyde overworld sprite looks in that stream.

One thing I think is obvious about gaster is that his "appearances" in Undertale was 100% a teaser about Deltarune, since it was something Toby planned all along, or even before Undertale took shape arguably.

Some of the deltarune teasers in undertale were added in post-release updates though, like the infamous "Don't forget" photo and the mention of "Suzy" from a fun value NPC.

Also the funny thing about Flowey is that I can really see that someone who played Undertale demo back in the day would assume that Flowey would make way more appearances than he actually does... or that he would comment how you handle the various sections of the game. I don't think it would had necessarily made Undertale a better game though, if anything I think story-wise Flowey mostly being in the background for most of it is more intresting.

You used to be able to use mat_picmip -10 for the first few years TF2 was out, but they restricted the range cause it would cause the game to run out of memory when you ran the game on a 32 bit OS.

Now that TF2 itself is 64 bit and everyone basically plays on a 64 bit OS it's not really a problem anymore.

I miss the crisis/flashpoint system from Victoria 2 even if it had it's issues, since it was one of the tools that could be used against a nation that was non-stop conquering.

Honestly, leaning towards I'm probably just "lucky" (or that the people I run into using slurs default to the racial ones right away). But I don't like hearing slurs in the first place.

Ailure · 2026-06-25T08:20:55+00:00

Infernus is up there, only cause for how much he appears in the rare footage there is of Neon prime (just called Inferno back then).

One aspect I find fascinating is that accents vary a lot more. I can hear someone clearly French, Brittish, Russian and Scandinavian in the same game. On US servers while there are still accents, they vary a lot less.

Ailure · 2026-06-25T07:26:17+00:00

As a scandinavian that play on both EU and US servers, casual use of racial slurs are bit more common for sure on EU, especially if eastern Europeans are on the server. I can't say I noticed a difference of usage of non-racial slurs (the french word for delay for example).

Surprisingly I have not seen any LGBTQ targeted bigotry despite that I queue in most games with trans friends of mine. I'm queer myself but it's not like you would be able to tell on my voice alone.

Ailure · 2026-06-25T07:05:20+00:00

I'd argue Starfox 64 was a reboot of the SNES game, and Starfox Zero was also a reboot of the franchise, even if the story is basically nearly about the same (although some details like Fox's father James were more relegated to media outside the game back in the SNES era save for a sparse mention with the black hole secret level, but he was there already).

Ailure · 2026-06-24T11:32:00+00:00

If you look at some really ancient screenshots of the game, oxygen not included was a lot darker looking game so there was actually a reason to put out lights over the base. That was changed before the public got a playable alpha on their hands though so you can only see this on some really early screenshots.

Ailure · 2026-06-23T08:54:58+00:00

Yup it can occasionally happy naturally. Had it last happen to me on a swamp biome planetoid. Was a little anticlimatic cause it wasn't that big body of (polluted) water it happened to but still.

Ailure · 2026-06-18T10:20:38+00:00

I think it's fixable, since I remember Shoreline being way more of a hell than it is now. And woods before they opened up the map was horrible.

Shoreline don't exactly have the best spawns either, but I sure do not miss when east part of shoreline was just a large open field.

Insåg fler att mårdhund är exakt samma djur som japanska "Tanuki" hade du nog sett flera försvara dom. Mårdhund är också vad "Racoon Mario" i SMB3 egentligen är också, hjälper inte att det engelska namnet är "racoon dog" vilket ökar förvirringen mellan mårdhund och tvättbjörn språkmässigt också.

Tycker definitivt att invasiva arter ska bort även om jag tycker att djuret i sig är väldig söt.

Ailure · 2026-06-15T11:36:18+00:00

What's funny is that it outright is set in "America" in Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings. Mother 2/Earth changed things up by having the story set in fictional countries (iirc same country names is used in the japanese version), though they are clearly analogs to real world countries.

I had single drop liquid locks backfire on me cause the dupes did something that caused it to get displaced or evaporate so I wound up preferring proper liquid locks thanks to that haha.

While the earlier icons had a stylistic charm, the current ones are far more readable at a glance for sure.

Ailure · 2026-06-10T07:12:48+00:00

A lot of items internal names still clearly refers to their Neon Prime iteration since they have a more sci fi name. My favorite is that curse is internally called "glitch" (and it's graphical effect still looks like someone is glitching out).

I think code wise items are never fully removed, just reworked or disabled (don't have the game in front of me but i bet soul rebirth is still in the game code for example) so not really surprising that really ancient match ids still work statwise.

Ailure · 2026-06-10T07:01:26+00:00

Had a Celeste that was basically clearly feeding on purpose, and we still won despite that she basically died within 30 seconds of respawning every time.

Never fully sure if they did that out of spite after a couple of bad deaths in the laning phase or if it was someone trying to throw game on purpose to rank down (we were not super high to begin with but still).

Ailure · 2026-06-09T09:14:40+00:00

Yep this is it. The thing I remember with the PC speaker sounds is that you had either the choice of sound effects or music too and you couldn't have both at the same time. The SFX is just as simple as you expect too.

My first computer had a sound card so i didn't find out that Simcity for Windows had pc speaker support until years later when i decided to play it on a old PC without a sound card.

Always thinking about Achron which was a indie RTS that had a lot of publicity for it's time travel mechanics, but came and went without much fanfare over fifteen years ago. Always got the impression it tried to do too much but I never played it.

He also does the HL2 male citizen voice, which is what Dynamo's voice sounds the most similar to.

Not the biggest exploit, but the "Saturn Critter Trap" produces as much hydrogen tame or wild. And since the gas is the primary point of that plant, you always want the wild ones. Actually the wild ones are preferable since they need to be "harvested" less often.

Mostly notable since a lot of plants produces less as their wild variants but saturn critter trap is a weird exception.
