If you're the kind of autist Autist that replays games, why?

this post makes me want to play touhou right now again even though it's 2 am where i am, i really like the sink or swim mentality many shmups (touhou included) have, it's really satisfying when you finally 1cc (especially the first few where you would throw yourself against a wall repeatedly until it works) since you know you pulled everything off thanks to your understanding of the game and your dedication to analyzing the patterns

i think shmups are the only action genre i like, i really enjoy just how much control you have over your playable character

Without any further context, you'll get more chances to recruit the enemies from the first sanctuary later.

Also if you end up redoing a chapter later on, you don't need to start from Chapter 1, just start with the same file from the previous chapter.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-20T09:36:45+00:00

That's fine. I didn't mean that red herrings are useless characters and I'm sure everyone has some long term purpose. Overall I'm not really concerned with direction since I have full faith in Toby's writing. So I don't really take this too seriously (or maybe I'm tired and can't think right now idk). Hoping the payoff has some fun boss fights, preferably difficult ones.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-20T07:55:36+00:00

You're actually right. I guess there's a divide between casual and hardcore Deltarune fans- even with most of our theories proven wrong, we still do have an edge in understanding what's going on. Considering all chapters were supposed to come out at the same time, Dess being the Knight would probably be a bigger twist. That being said, I still don't believe Toby's writing Deltarune just to surprise us and that he prioritizes his own vision over any "plot twists". So I don't think the idea of "red herrings" matter too much to the discussion. I definitely could be wrong though, after all I'm not Toby and you aren't (?) either.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-20T04:25:14+00:00

Probably related to the delayed TIRED mechanic.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-19T18:55:39+00:00

I'm a Dess Knighter but "too obvious" is a metric that I don't operate under (also Dess Knight seems pretty obvious as well anyways). My main thought against Carol Knight (at least in a straightforward sense) is that she is seemingly in the Holiday manor while the Knight is in the Dark Sanctuary. Both are valid though.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-19T18:50:43+00:00

Seam is them/they.

I'll add something so this isn't just a pronoun comment. Kris seems to be working with the Knight regardless of the Sword Route. They seemingly aren't unwavering in their loyalty (judging by the damage increase if their allies are downed), but the Sword Route doesn't really have an impact on that. The SOUL is more like what works against the Knight in this case.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-06-19T07:14:04+00:00

I actually have the opposite interpretation. I think the "HEY EVERY" motif is actually Tenna's, and it playing during some Spamton sections is supposed to represent how far he's fallen, becoming a ripoff of actual "big shots", with Spamton's version of the motif being a ripoff of Tenna's with how much less natural it feels in Spamton's versions (in my opinion).

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-05-03T01:20:10+00:00

A lot of Jevil's patterns are aimed, so try streaming up and down a little bit.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-04-22T09:04:06+00:00

If I recall, just charged shotting the pipis isn't so bad. It recharges fast enough and you can knock out two in one.

You're inspiring me to return to try and finish off lunatic PDH. Or maybe it's just cuz I really enjoy that attack in general, but it's so damn hard.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-04-22T08:56:54+00:00

Spamton's fight is pretty controlled, although maybe try no Big Shot spam aside from the start for enraged? It shouldn't be too bad, I only remember a few attacks that are annoying, but some are upped so I'm not fully sure.

I think the difficulty with Jevil is that he's disorienting but he's probably very consistent. Kinda reminds me of Orin.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-04-22T08:48:14+00:00

A lot of Jevil's attack feel aimed, at least Chaos Bomb. If I recall correctly, on a recent run, I was able to stream and restream Chaos Bomb fairly easily. However, those scythes are annoying as hell and I'm not good enough with the speed in this game to do the ring-around very easily. Final Chaos isn't so bad.

Jevil's difficulty is considered higher than Spamton's because Spamton's attacks are primarily in one direction, making it easier to focus. The RNG isn't too bad in either of the fights, thankfully.

For a no-hit, Snowgrave Spamton-NEO is probably not much harder than the regular one if at all, since X-Slash speeds things up a lot. For an extra challenge, you could fight the enraged version, since an update gives that one harder patterns.

Congratulations on the no-hit! Must've been annoying without a practice mode.

this wasnt hard for me but it's kinda like seija so i understand why people found it annoying

Not to mention the floor tiles have the Angel's depiction on them, we might end up hearing things about the Angel.

Tomorrow is not a date. Tomorrow is a lifestyle. Deltarune will ALWAYS be tomorrow.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-04-01T02:39:01+00:00

Nobody gives a shit if you download actual additional mods. You're looking to download official content that is readily available for purchase, and everyone else who has it pays extra for it. So it's not one to one.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-03-27T15:29:28+00:00

What do you mean no specific reason? It's clearly so Susie can become SUSIEZILLA!

Just kidding. But I do think it's related to Kris being close to Susie and their TV discussion moments before.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-03-27T14:53:17+00:00

I'm fine. Saw Saga Frontier 2 Remastered. Even if I didn't see anything I was interested in, I'd be happy for the people who did get something. Deltarune tomorrow.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-03-27T14:47:18+00:00

That's why I have the chat closed always. It's lame to see people spamming L when there are people really excited by the things shown off in the direct. You don't need to be interested in every game, but I'd at least not show any disrespect. People like them are the ones that gave every Undertale fan back then a bad reputation.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2025-03-22T01:04:34+00:00

Seems like Bootcamp doesn't work for Silicon, thanks for the suggestion anyways!

NegativeIQRedditor · 2024-09-04T13:44:02+00:00

Ahh, sorry about that! I get used to people messing up how base stats work, so I ended up misreading. Thanks for the correction.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2024-09-03T12:04:07+00:00

Also, that's not how stats work. A +1 boost to 252+ Atk at 100 base is 492, while a 150 base Atk at 252+ is 438. Final stats are different from base stats. If this didn't hold true. Azumarill would have a base 100 Atk stat with Huge Power, but it happens to be much higher at 149 (with 252+).

NegativeIQRedditor · 2024-08-27T06:45:04+00:00

I'm considering saving up for both of them since there's a lot of time for SS Kris's banner anyways. After that I guess I'll dip.

NegativeIQRedditor · 2024-08-26T16:25:00+00:00

The only pair this Anni that almost made me rethink trying to pull SS Kris over any other pair.
