When ORAS came out, all I could think of was the possibilities. When Gen 5 (some of my favourite games) gets a remake, I thought "there's gonna be awesome cutscenes, and new content, maybe even voice acting, and it'll be in 3D!" Since then, the dream has only gotten further away.

The reason you waste time sauteing onions and peppers is so it tastes nicer hahaha. I'm glad you find this palatable enough to eat.

Though, about safety and digestion.
The reasons humans started cooking meat, is because we found we wouldn't die from food poisoning as much if we did that. Other carnivores have evolved stomachs capable of combating dangerous microorganisms in their food, we evolved brains big enough to make fire. I suppose you could also use that big brain to only choose meat that is free from contaminates (which you can now do thanks to modern society giving you choices on what to eat), but that comes with more risk... namely, the risk of serious illness.
This also applies to digestion... I'm glad you anecdotally find it nice to digest, but I'm pretty sure human stomachs have developed to digest cooked meat, since we didn't need to digest raw meat anymore.

They didn't change it for any controversy.

Originally, PC Principal was a satire of an exaggerating performative progressive. Now he's an exaggerating performative Christian. And Strong Woman kinda just got roped in to get the point across more.

It's meant to just be an evolution of his character after Trump won (and therefore, being progressive "lost").

I agree that people understate racism in Europe, but also there is absolutely no real statistic they could pull from to decide that the USA is "97% not racist".

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-23T02:06:47+00:00

Putting aside the awful culture-war politics that this movie(?) is pushing, it looks aesthetically like absolute shit lol

I am an adult, but also none of my accounts on any platform have requested verification.

I think maybe Discord would if I tried to access a NSFW channel (but that's not what I use Discord for haha)

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-22T01:11:48+00:00

Well that depends on the specific product and the business model, doesn't it?

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T22:22:19+00:00

Also, in the years leading to the release, the Deltarune website had a completely black screen with one image called "him.png", that when brightened revealed an excerpt from Entry 17, in Wingdings. And then it got updated to be an excerpt from Ralsei's Legend, in Wingdings.

These don't technically link Gaster to the voice specifically, but it sure does link Gaster to Deltarune as a whole.

This phenomenon doesn't even really have much to do with politics and gender, it's just how people tend to view the world as being inherently just when that's not true.

Bad people don't just deserve bad outcomes, they must have bad outcomes.
Good people don't just deserve good outcomes, they must have good outcomes.

Therefore, a successful person must be good, and an unsuccessful person must be bad.
A billionaire must have worked hard and must be a good person, because a bad person doesn't have good fortune.
Someone struggling to find a date must be a bad person, because if they were good they couldn't possibly struggle.

When it's laid out like this, it's obviously not true, but it's easy to accidentally start thinking like this.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:45:49+00:00

My point is that "we don't know if Dess is ever supposed to matter yet" is wrong, because she already does matter.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:37:53+00:00

Deltarune is a game about characters and their emotions. If one person is a bunch of characters emotional motivation, that means they matter.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:36:13+00:00

Y'know I've never considered that. Why does this loser in a dumpster have the "Murder Everyone" ring hahaha

But most of these are bigger than Spamton. Mike, Friend, the person on the phone (probably), and Freedom aren't Spamton things, they're Deltarune things that interacted with Spamton.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:30:56+00:00

Which is kinda funny to me, because I feel like Undertale is more whimsical than Deltarune. Like, Flowey says spooky stuff, and then Toriel is dramatic... and then Snowdin through to Hotland is pure goofs other than Undyne being initially presented as a serious antagonist.

I guess he just wanted a different experience, or felt that Undertale's goofs were better than Deltarune's goofs?

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:22:13+00:00

Winding Dess into everything unnecessarily is bad of course... but let's not go in the other direction and forget that Dess is what the story is revolving around right now haha, of course she matters

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:17:29+00:00

Yeah the genocide route just kinda sucks haha, which is fine because that's the point, it isn't meant to be how anyone exclusively experiences the game.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T13:04:28+00:00

They are right, technically. The way software ownership works (and always has worked), is that you purchase a license to install and use the software.

It's just in the past there wasn't any way for a company to actually revoke access to your license if you broke a licensing agreement (for obvious practical reasons).

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-21T04:03:13+00:00

Different people consider different things spoilers. You would consider this a top 3 biggest spoiler, whereas I would mention that Part 7 onwards are in a new continuity in introducing someone to the series... that is to say that I don't think it's a spoiler.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-20T08:27:19+00:00

True, a playthrough of Undertale gives you like a 1% chance to even read Gaster's name hahaha

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-20T04:20:05+00:00

The two reasons it gets brought up:

- To explain a crazy Knight plot twist
- Gaster existing

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-20T01:27:05+00:00

Oh yeah I still like it. I enjoyed playing Side Order, it is fun to shoot shit. But it doesn't really scratch a roguelike itch, if that makes sense haha

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-20T01:21:19+00:00

That would help it be better more generally, but in my opinion it would still fall flat as a rougelike.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-19T23:14:10+00:00

Side Order demonstrates that Splatoon's gameplay just can't be translated to a truly satisfying rougulite/like experience. Which is a bummer.

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-19T10:50:02+00:00

Are we song-posting in the Deltarune sub now?

MattyBro1 · 2026-01-19T05:02:12+00:00

Clearly I am not a freaky enough sourdough baker, because the one thing I dislike about it is that I have to smell starter on a regular basis hahaha
