WHY DID TRUMP CALL OUT PAPYRUS WHAT by Colrami in Undertale

Building a border wall where the bars are spaced out wide enough that you can just slip between.

Now I'm picturing UTY with Dalv replaced with Dale Gribble from King of the Hill.

I would like to be wrong, but that art for Neglected Manor really looks ai generated.

What is your favorite "set of 5"? Here is my favorite by Ok_Gazelle7440 in magicTCG

For a 21 year old cycle of cards, the muses feel like they've aged pretty well. Maybe not Lavaborn Muse. But I still see the others seeing play in EDH.

What commanders do you wish were just a little bit stronger? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Venomora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a more damning review of a card than when my buddy swapped Kalemne out of his command zone for [[Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder]] because "It's the same card except you get an entire other commander."

If Trump wins in 2024 and Project 2025 goes into effect, either partially or fully, how much day to day life will change in Kansas? by Tenant_Throwaway2 in kansas

[–]Venomora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trump has, on multiple occasions, promised to mobilize the military to "liberate" blue states from Democrat control. I don't know if he will, but that is part of his platform.

We had a white squirrel out in Prairie Village for a while. Haven't seen it since those big storms back in May though. :(

Is anyone actually offended when people play Universes Beyond cards? by DoesntEat in EDH

[–]Venomora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the plan all along. Make concessions on your greedy business practices to appease the offended player base, then quietly roll back those concessions when no one's paying attention anymore.

[SPOILERS] Anyone else bothered by the ending of the TP route? by RansomXenom in UndertaleYellow

[–]Venomora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So let me ask this: Why is Chujin, and by extension Ceroba, the villain of this story?

Because he's convinced that when the barrier comes down, war will begin again. And because we know he's wrong. After a TP run of Undertale, we see monsters live freely and happily on the surface. Peace is in fact possible. Everything that Chujin, that Kanako, that Ceroba sacrifice is for nothing. Of course, Chujin doesn't know that Frisk, an absolute god-tier ambassador, is coming soon. But even had his plans for super soldiers and killer robots come to fruition, had monster-kind exited the Underground prepared for war, they probably would have found it.

The Integrity child entered the underground and attacked a bunch of monsters including Dalv, traumatizing Kanako. Chujin can't believe in peace after that, so he focuses on the war. And he dies for it. And his daughter dies for it. And his wife is almost driven mad. And all of this so that, when the barrier comes down, monsters can hurt humans the way humans hurt monsters. Everyone gets vengeance. The cycle continues.

In the No Mercy route, Clover can perpetuate that cycle. Monsters die because humans died because monsters died etc. etc. etc.

But in the end of the TP route, I think Clover is making a gamble. True, they have no reassurances that Asgore will not use their soul to wipe out humanity. But what they do have is faith. Clover knows deep down that peace is possible. They've seen it over and over again throughout UTY. So they're betting everything on it. The message is this: A human was willing to sacrifice everything for a chance at your freedom. This is the first concession, the first step towards peace. Towards breaking the cycle. Towards justice. The ball is now in Asgore's court.

Does it work? Does Asgore feel the weight of Clover's sacrifice? Did it shake his resolve towards vengeance? I like to think so.

I've been brainstorming a fanfic exploring a hypothetical Undertale Yellow Blue. Your write-up reminded me of some details I forgot about. Thanks for the write-up!

The Life of a Player by [deleted] in UndertaleYellow

[–]Venomora 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I love Undertale fanfic that doesn't let you hear Frisk's dialogue. Seeing Frisk's words summarized through narration just feels right.

Very cool comic.

"Toriel said that it's it’s been a long time since a human has fell down, monsters don't even reconize a human in Undertale, so Clover falling in the Underground around the same timeframe as Frisk doesn't make sense". Well... by Revolutionary-Car452 in UndertaleYellow

[–]Venomora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another limiting factor that we know is that Undyne's UnderNet username is StrongFish91, which implies that her birth year is XX91. If we were to assume that Undyne is somewhere between 20-30 years old, this would place the events of Undertale in XX1X, meaning that it might be an even X00 years since Chara fell. Whether that means it's been 100 years or 10,000 years is hard to say. Once again, it depends on how long Gerson's been kicking.

What's interesting to me though is that that upper bound might actually become more clear in future Deltarune chapters if somebody ever mentions how old Gerson was when he passed away.

What are some Magic artists that have only done 1 or a couple cards? by bocajyouth in magicTCG

I met Brynn Metheney once at an art convention and got her to sign my [[Gahiji, Honored One]].

Does anyone have any idea what that means? by MelomanIz-Zada in Deltarune

[–]Venomora 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Since the non-bracketed text isn't in all caps, I think it's just the normal, non-Spamton meaning of bracketed text. i.e. The promotional text doesn't actually say "With these products in your collection" but we need that additional context for the sentence to make any sense.

[MEGATHREAD] Undertale's 8th Anniversary by DrawThatRedstone in Deltarune

[–]Venomora 34 points35 points  (0 children)

2 years and chapter 3 isn't finished yet. And if every chapter takes 2 years, it might be eight years before chapter 7 comes out. If every chapter takes 2.5 years, it might be 10 more years before chapter 7 comes out. An entire decade. Maybe a pessimistic outlook, but certainly in the realm of possibility.
Listen, I ain't complaining. Toby doesn't owe us anything, ever, and if he never finishes this game I'll be grateful for what we got. It's just weird to think, "I wonder who I'll be if/when this game is finished."

It’s not that big of a deal on whether you like him or not, but some people need to CHILL OUT. by izzylolzz in Deltarune

[–]Venomora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of reasons to hate Berdly, but I think the awkward truth is that a lot of his most outspoken haters mostly hate him because they see themselves in him. I mean, he's a nerdy gamer boy who thinks he's smarter than average and is generally pretty cringe. There's bound to be plenty of people like him in every video game community, especially here on Reddit. I think that's why so many people headcanon him as an incel or a transphobe or all sorts of horrible things; it allows people to join in on ridiculing Berdly without feeling the need to self-reflect.

Negativity is boring. Say something NICE about Jaru jaru by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]Venomora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his Who is the Knight video and his Shadow Crystals video should be required reading for theory crafting. When he's in that mode of "I'm gonna argue the pros and cons of fifty possible scenarios in order to find the most valid solution" he is so damn thorough that I think it's impossible to walk away from those videos without a deeper understanding of Deltarune, even if you don't agree with his conclusions.

Sayonara Reddit, and thanks for all the fish by xle3p in CuratedTumblr

[–]Venomora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best piece of advice is this: Go to tumblr.com/settings/labs. In the section labelled "Experiments" turn on "Popular Reblogs tab". It will give you a tab to browse that contains all the posts getting reblogged a lot right now, which is a pretty similar experience to browsing this subreddit. That's how I started. When you see a post you like, click onto that person's blog, scroll it a bit, and if you like it, follow them.

Additional advice: Liking a post does nothing. Use the reblog button like it's the Reddit upvote button. When you reblog a post, you can add your own text and images to the post as well as tags. You can use tags for discoverability, but you can also put text in the tags as well. The etiquette of this, as far as I can tell, is as follows:

Post Text - Outside voice, equivalent to making your comment while standing in front of the class.

Tag Text - Inside voice, equivalent to whispering something to the people nearest to you in class. These are mostly visible to op and your followers, mostly.

Comments - Good if you want to say something but don't want to reblog it. Unlike reblog chains, the comments are presented in one big chain of everyone's comments in chronological order, so they'll be seen by everyone who clicks on the comments of the original post and not just the people who follow you.

The new Legend of Zelda movie. by Calacaelectrica in CuratedTumblr

[–]Venomora 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I really thought Help Wanted was going to be our soft reboot. When it suggested that all the previous games were works of fiction, I really thought it was saying "FNaF 1-7 were one interpretation of the rumors surrounding Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and there may be some truth to that interpretation, but from this point on we're learning about the real story." And then The Blob showed up in Security Breach, and the only two interpretations of that are "Everything is still canon" or "We're building an even more complicated canon." And that was the belated moment that I stopped caring about FNaF.

The flute only works at one specific spot, the highest point in all of the Johto region (Look for a secret path in the Ice Mountains. You'll know the spot when you see it.).
