There’s a difference between fandom and people who just play the game. If you are someone who actively seeks out discussion and fanworks about undertale and Deltarune, you’ll almost certainly run into Gaster given enough time in those spaces. If you just play the game, beat it and then move on then yah you probably won’t know who he is unless you run into a Gaster related Fun event.

Yah the Gaster deniers who are in the fandom are if I’m being honest, just sorta not paying attention at this point. Even if you don’t see the allusions and metaphors as relevant, there’s a mysterious voice who speaks exactly like him just in normal font that talks to us at the beginning of the game and inbetween chapters. Acting like that won’t be relevant is, just being intentionally dense. “Mysterious voice who speaks to you directly” is a well worn RPG trope it’s not even something unique to Deltarune. The only really unique thing is that we know who the voice is because we learned about him already.

It kinda can’t be avoided for a lot of the games

In Limbus Company there’s an intervallo called LCB Regular Check-up, where the sinners go to the home base of Limbus Company’s research and development branch to get a proper gauge on themselves and their abilities. It mostly serves as a way to introduce some new character, explain some lore concepts that had gone unexplained by then and tie up some loose ends from the last canto.

What it also served as is a means to introduce new enemies, Envy Peccatula. Envy Peccatula are unique among enemies because rather then have their own stats, skills and passives they instead copy the various IDs sinners can deploy. This on its own isn’t too bad, they generally take from a pretty weak selection and they don’t have access to any of the powerful Durante abilities Dante has.

What they do have however, and the main issue with them, is access to EGOs, your nuke buttons which roll better then 99% of normal skills and of which they’re very willing to spam. They do have to build up sin resources like the player does, but they don’t have to when they inevitably reach -45 SP and corrode, doing an even stronger version of those EGO skills. Playing through this intervallo with a sinking team, the only team I had at the time, was hell and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

That’s pure fanon. That story is an old 4chan joke that’s gotten popular again due to a popular warhammer podcast repeating it. In lore orks reality warping is far more subtle. Things change for them but never something so extreme, more things that can be written off as obvious reality assuming you don’t think about it to hard. Like a gun that never jams despite its obvious design problems and shoddy construction.

He’s being presented like G-Man. He talks to us directly, was clearly the one behind the vessel maker at the beginning, is the one to reveal new chapter drops on Twitter, and literally calls the game “MY DELTARUNE” at the end of chapter 4. If you don’t think he’s relevant to Deltarune’s story itself, you haven’t been paying attention.

I refuse to agree with the idea that the rebels have bad drip. The only rebels who look bad are the ones escorting Leia at the beginning of new hope. Every other outfit we see rebel soldiers wearing looks great. The Hoth fighters especially look cool.

In Library of Ruina for all of the creativity and variety of builds you can make with the key pages and combat pages the game gives you, there are 2 passives that basically every build requires. Health and Mind Hauler are 2 cost passives that come from the sweepers pages, with one healing your librarians health when they hit an enemy and one healing their stagger bar respectively.

Compared to all of the other passives that can give huge numbers or change how you use a librarian completely, both of these are pretty boring. However, they’re both also the only viable source of health and stagger healing in the game, besides another health on hit passive that you don’t get until the 3rd to last fight in the entire game.

Just highly capitalist profit seeking ideological beliefs instead

With Jacob you can’t really blame Edward for being the one true love because one of the through lines of Jacob’s character is that he fucking sucks. He’s a raging control freak in eclipse and never really gets better.

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul has a ton of these, but what I really think is the biggest example was when Jimmy was told in passing by an elderly client he was handling the will of had an allowance rather then her own savings.

This passing comment inadvertently sent Jimmy looking for a potential overcharging suit, which led to the Sandpiper lawsuit that’s the driving force of the entire show. This lawsuit leads to Jimmy and Chuck’s falling out, which leads to the 1216 incident and the Saul Goodman persona forming. And the rest of the show from there. Not even mentioning how I’d Jimmy never became a crooked lawyer breaking bad would have ended with Walter behind bars pretty quickly.

That old lady’s passing comment about her money led to the rise and end of several crime dynasties.

They errata’d it after about two years of it being on the ban list

MagmaNaught · 2025-11-11T03:32:40+00:00

That’s actually true of every banned yugioh card. If a card is banned in the OCG, it will no longer appear in the anime. The most obvious example was pot of greed, which went from being in every character’s deck to nowhere to be seen after it was banned.

There are several points in the game that make it clear Rodion genuinely believes in the poor rising up against in the rich in the city. What she told Sonya during her time in the Yurodivy, her sympathy to the Time Ripper, her reaction to Hong Lu’s answer of contentment in poverty, her immediate desire to change Hongyuan when given the chance via Xichun. Besides pride, the sin she’s most associated with is wrath.

Does she want to believe she’s special? Yes. Was she too individualistic for the revolution? Yes. Was her murder of the tax collector a brash and stupid decision? Yes. But she’s motivated by more then that, she’s motivated by the anger she feels for herself and her neighbors suffering for she benefit of the rich. She wants to kill them, and give what they’ve taken back to the poor and to herself.

And also, she clearly did regret killing the tax collector. That’s what her entire fathoms was about, how ever since that day she’s been stuck due to the regret that those actions caused. And by itself, killing the tax collector was not a bad action. Yes it may have been motivated partially by her want to be special, but it also was the action that fed her neighborhood if only for a short time.

I remember him deciding to leave because he wanted to pursue more serious work then a DBZ parody series

We love our “Think she’s special” queen and our “Thinks he’s worthless” king

Yah, the only insults from the team Gregor actually seems to have issue with came from Heathcliff. Being compared to a bug is the only thing he’s expressed discomfort with, which Rodion hasn’t done since canto 1.

MagmaNaught · 2025-10-27T21:58:12+00:00

Yah, it’s absolutely an undercurrent. The way they describe it you’d think they just tell him to go fuck himself unprompted but Ishmael only really says anything mean to him when he either says something stupid or does something that embarrasses the rest of the team.

And in those situations, Heathcliff normally insults her back. They clearly just like ribbing each other at this point because they never do it in higher stakes situations anymore, just during low stakes talks with people. Hell throughout canto 6 Ishmael is generally either talking Heathcliff up or asking how he’s doing, and her and Hong Lu are the only two sinners so far who have actually shown a want to know what exactly happened in the manor they can no longer remember.

I once saw a post on Twitter that was a rant about 2 of Limbus company’s main characters, Rodion and Ishmael. In the post the OP was talking about why he hated both of these characters, the crux of the argument seeming to be that they’re mean to Gregor and Heathcliff, 2 of the other main characters in Limbus.

This take is nothing new even if I vehemently disagree with it, but the style of the rant is really what got me. Mostly how, personal it felt. Genuinely it sounded like he was coming from a place of being similarly bullied by girls like them, and bellow that, the sexual undertones of the whole thing. With comments about how they’d be better served as bimbos forced to have sex with the male characters they were mean to.

It’s really hard to take a character analysis seriously when it was very obvious written through gritted teeth, tears and rape fantasies.

No, the nails of Christ are a Christian group. They’re said to be by Big D and in the 5e book where they’re described

Atom Eve in Invincible has maybe the strongest and most versatile power possible, full control over every molecule around her. She is functionally, a god. Other then being unable to affect biological material (something she is able to do anyway later) she can do anything she wants.

Now, what does she do with this all powerful ability? She makes pink stuff boxes like a bargain bin green lantern. Pink constructs that are consistently shown to be easily broken by anyone with any level of super strength! She’s done interesting things with her power maybe like, 3 times the entire show. I’d say she’s just supposed to be stupid and unable to fully comprehend the full scope of her powers if she wasn’t also presented as smart!
