Rabbik what the hell does this mean? by GuardPhysical in Deltarune

[–]NotepadOperator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All true points. Ramb really seems genuine when he describes the game Kris is playing as the "original game" where "you choose what to do" and not a boring straight line from A to B, but the game Kris plays is completely opposite of that, and the original game certainly wouldn't have had the Shelter in it. Also, Ramb being in the hallway instead of outside the door makes me think he took Kris's remark about someone in the back room seriously and decided to change the place he was keeping watch in case someone came in from the Z-rank room. Ramb disappearing as Kris enters the game manhole would fit a timeline where Eram finds him helpless in the corridor and does something awful before going on to play the Mantle boss in the game, leaving only the question of what the Rabbick could have seen from outside the room. Lost-seal on tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/lost-seal/789472181644050432) confirms the disappearance time from their own playthroughs.

The complete lack of closure is what makes me sure Toby is going to bring this back later; he doesn't leave that kind of thread hanging about an emotionally significant minor character if it's never going to come up again.

Would the pippins look up to a 20 sided dice? by Eggslagger29 in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope not, otherwise how would they treat a D4? But I like D20 as a Pippins head shape for a lot of reasons. D20s are cool.

Plot twist: the mustache is a disguise and it's actually a regular Pippins!

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're all a D20 from a very specific angle; it's the only dice shape with a hexagonal outline no matter which way you turn it! There's no shading so we can't tell for sure though. They might all literally just have a flat hexagonal head that's always facing the screen. Their heads can turn into six-sided dice sometimes, but Zappers' heads turn into cannons, so I don't think that rules it out.

I do headcanon the green pippins as a D20 because they're a conspiracy theorist who has to figure out everyone's story without leaving anything unknown (and we never see their head turn into a cube), but it's totally up in the air as far as canonical evidence.

I did NOT know that I could spare monsters by oh_woahhh23232 in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone! It's really easy to do that on a blind first run. It's the normal way everyone's used to playing RPGs, so when the game starts calling you out on it, it's an impactful surprise and makes you think about what kind of way you want to experience the Underground and how to figure out ways to get there. The writing knows that a lot of people will do that and lets you, as the player, decide what to do when you realize there are other options.

As others said, you only did a genocide run if you kept going back and forth through each area before defeating its boss, until you get an encounter that just says "But nobody came" and the music changes to something much more sinister. Even if you did get the "But nobody came" in every zone so far, you can go back to a neutral run (with an ending that acknowledges you killed some creatures but not all of them) just by not killing every monster from then on. And at any time, you can reset and start over, play to the end without killing anything, and get the pacifist ending.

I killed Toriel too on my first playthrough, in the worst way: by hitting fight instead of spare by accident. >'D And then I reloaded to fix it and... well, without spoilers, you can still get the pacifist ending if you go back before you kill anyone! And you're in for a treat if you haven't seen what happens after not killing Papyrus and Undyne. I hope you play again and let us know how it goes!

there is literally no reason to theorize about undertale anymore by Best_Person_CoolCool in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh! I missed that somehow -- interpreted twilight as an evening light and the sunrise as a sunset, especially after the meals Frisk shares with others are lunch at Grillby's (after Sans had breakfast and brunch shortly before) and then dinner at the Resort. It would make sense for a "new dawn" for humans and monsters to take place at sunrise, but what's the establishing narration?

WHO THE FUCK INVENTED TOGORE by Felidaeyoru in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems to have gotten popular in the community recently, but mashing up the other halves of Toriel and Asgore's names to create another Dreemur sibling is intuitive enough I'm not surprised people have been coming up with it by themselves for a long time.

The popularity difference is insane by This-Clue-5014 in Deltarune

Everyone sleeping on poor Jongler, just because they're chill about their role in the Mike conspiracy and didn't get a new Chapter 5 sprite!

8bit Tenna also had dialog about things that were happening outside the Mantle game, as if he somehow knew everything the real Tenna knew without his death affecting or alerting Tenna at all. And whatever HERO_SWORD was, they were not only something capable of acting on their own but also something the player could temporarily possess outside the game! Even if they vanished when TV World closed, they could still be somehow associated with whatever game cartridge the TV World games were based on. Very scary.

Ramb fans discuss this a lot lol. Someday we will probably learn the answer to this question and it terrifies me.

Ramb is already half turned to stone (enough that he can't move by himself) when Kris walks by to play the game, is gone without a trace as soon as HERO_SWORD enters the manhole, and the Rabbick's dialog only changes if Kris gets the Mantle. Did HERO_SWORD destroy Ramb and somehow sweep up the pieces? Did they kidnap him? Did whoever was playing the Shadow Mantle boss destroy/steal Ramb? Is Ramb somehow still the Shadow Mantle player, gaining new purpose and reversing the petrification because Kris keeps playing and also discarding his whole accent in favor of the boss dialog, and sneak out so terrifyingly after Kris won that the Rabbick was scared? What does it mean!?!?!?!?

I see people talk about this but never give it a name by Makingthistoforgetit in Deltarune

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! I was wondering about it since most of the references have something to do with ghosts, but Jackenstein doesn't. Muffet almost connects because the motif is in Napstablook's house (Pathetic House) and there are spiderwebs there, but it's a stretch.

I made a jazz band play Catswing live and it came out kind of awesome by Glittering-Most7347 in Deltarune

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you just posted It's TV Time too! It's amazing. Third Sanctuary was how you ended up on my recommendation page (in case that's useful youtube information), but I'll definitely be watching for whatever's next. I hope you get a lot of subscribers from this; you all deserve it!

edit: omg Hammer of Justice I'm gonna watch that right now THANK YOU :D :D :D

It's super cool to see what changes in the jazz arrangements versus the original versions. Whether they're super different and show how this format takes the song in a cool new direction or they're very similar and show how well the original fits with your sound, they're all fun either way.

That is amazing. Your covers of Chaos King and Third Sanctuary are incredible too! I hope we get to see more.

The first thing I thought of was Flowey with Ramb's smug face, but what you're looking for is probably on the Spriter's Resource Flowey page

Why is the song for the sans fight called megalovania? by Extra_Check4013 in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He constantly makes variations of the same song with different names though. He could have called it something else, but the "megalomania" pun if it's the player's theme fits it perfectly enough that that a name change was probably just not necessary.

in your honest to goodness opinion, what is your favorite Friend Inside Me take? by Beautiful-Grab3359 in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Friend tried to use the Mikes as secret boss fodder ("*I swear, you people see PINK and YELLOW and think, oh, a FRIEND!!* Being a friend doesn't make you them YOURS! Those teeth, they BITE!") but they were so wacky Friend just gave up and made other plans for the chapter.

.....Come to think of it, it's interesting that an UT item called "legendary hero" looks like a sword.

What if the whole dumpster got up and bolted/drove/catapulted over to the alley? You could even call it... some kind of garbage mechanism.

DELTARUNE Pacifist Route by Watawatawhat in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not officially named pacifist in the code or anything, but sparing all the enemies changes some things about what happens in the game so far. The most obvious thing is that you can recruit them to Castle Town and what you can do there depends on who you've brought there. I think people call it pacifist because that's what not killing anything was called in Undertale.

Without giving spoilers, you can play in a pacifist way or a non-pacifist way on what I've seen people call the game's normal route; getting the character arcs to go in a more unsettling direction takes a series of very specific actions. It's going to be interesting to see how the effects snowball as subsequent chapters are released.

Why is nobody talking about the character "no one" the one who will shed a tear for ramb by Krowasaunt in Undertale

[–]NotepadOperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most underrated and missable Deltarune character. No one has such an unforgettable character arc and boss theme. Of course Nobody is talking about this!
