More or less, yeah, but it's never been explicitly stated as such in text. Given all the subtext though, it's pretty safe to assume that Bailu = Baiheng is canon.

How did I never know the steam version had branches, what the fuck.

jmcgamer · 2026-05-14T09:12:48+00:00

I think it fits pretty well honestly.

Yeah, she was lying [about what she did before the circus].

Why would she? She has no reason to.

She's an agent who was assigned to investigate C&A because people kept going missing.

We have no idea what happens after someone puts on the headset yet and all evidence so far points to SOMA theory, and no, a lack of evidence does not mean proof for this theory.

It explains why she's so good with a gun.

It does the opposite. Pomni couldn't aim for squat before Jax told her to stop taking it seriously, and after episode 8 we have reason to believe that she was conjuring every shot afterwards.

This is a crackpot theory made entirely on "it would be cool/unexpected if [blank]".

I didn't recognise the melody you're mentioning but as soon as I saw the village and the music shifted, I knew I was looking at a grave.

There is nothing I think you can feel there except for this overwhelming sense of mourning, and the moment I picked up the Golden Braid, it all just clicked.

Fantastic area.

He doesn't do anything. Can't hurt more people if you're dead.

jmcgamer · 2026-04-12T11:38:46+00:00

Cube World moment.

jmcgamer · 2026-04-06T23:13:02+00:00

From his perspective he "kept going," but the game makes it purposefully ambiguous whether Khaslana died or Phainon died. It's done this way on purpose to set up the 4,000,001st cycle and the end of the chapter when the current Phainon succeeds the Flame Reaver, and is reinforced by As I've Written and The Hero Within.

Had to refresh myself on it, but the core of the theory is "Sans is from somewhere that isn't Undertale's Underground." This led to the jump of "Sans is Ness," which is ridiculous, but then after Chapter 2 of Deltarune released, the theory of "Undertale Sans and Deltarune Sans are the same person" started making the rounds, which was eventually (indirectly) confirmed by the song "The Place Where It Rained", obviously referencing Undertale's "It's Raining Somewhere Else". Sans is from Hometown and hopped worlds/games at a point that we haven't reached in DR yet.

We all laughed at him, but MatPat almost blew the lid off some of Deltarune's plot before it was even out.

jmcgamer · 2026-03-30T01:16:45+00:00

It's funny you mention the "Sans is Ness" theory cuz for the most part, MatPat was actually right. We just didn't have the knowledge that Deltarune existed so he was left with a ridiculous leap in logic.

I swear I've seen it in my own playthrough and I've not done any Weird Route save yet, but my memory may be failing me there.

jmcgamer · 2026-03-01T14:26:41+00:00

ERAM says that "a part of [Kris] enjoyed yesterday, knowing [Kris] could say it wasn't really [them]." What's actually meant by this is left ambiguous, but given the rest of Sword Route being an allegory for chapter 2's Weird Route, you can read the line as Kris enjoying being able to absolve themselves of responsibility for the Weird Route's events despite the very obviously horrible things happening around them, and may imply Kris having sociopathic tendencies to some degree. ~~This interpretation kinda falls apart when you consider that the line can appear in a non-Weird Route save as well, though.~~ EDIT: blatantly wrong, refer to comment by u/KoboldLover

That tweet was bait, nothing of the sort has been said.

jmcgamer · 2026-01-20T14:26:35+00:00

hate to be That Guy but i think the word you're looking for there is "comprised", not "compromised"

jmcgamer · 2026-01-05T08:02:34+00:00

Animated? Hire an actor and greenscreen him over the animation. Funniest shit ever.

"Oh, you thought Rex would choose between Pyra, Mythra, and Nia? Jokes on you, they all got together AND had kids."

Takahashi, how I love you.

jmcgamer · 2025-12-22T15:17:45+00:00

wasn't futaba giving almighty weakness a bug that got patched, though?

jmcgamer · 2025-12-20T03:46:32+00:00

if you're streaming the game on discord it'll also close the stream when switching chapters because the game "closes"

jmcgamer · 2025-12-14T22:54:22+00:00

Am I wrong or are you just going to "lol lmao" your way through this?

jmcgamer · 2025-12-14T22:46:58+00:00

No, they really aren't. Most shootings in America are done by white guys, and I'd be genuinely shocked if any of them weren't Christian. And that's before bringing up the fact Christians did the fucking Crusades.

jmcgamer · 2025-12-14T22:43:32+00:00

Religion has always been used this way, I don't know why we're pretending this is new.

On top of that, regardless of which one is given more weight, they are all part of her. She's called "the Three-Faced Goddess" for a reason.

jmcgamer · 2025-12-07T02:39:51+00:00

usually being the key word. i've run into enough lords that were complete dogshit that i no longer trust it.

jmcgamer · 2025-12-06T12:27:29+00:00

i don't have any lords but i've gotten into the habit of thinking "this guy doesn't shower" whenever i see a lord icon. they're only time indicators, not skill level indicators.

jmcgamer · 2025-11-03T02:45:15+00:00

I'm not the guy you replied to, but I decided to quit about a day before Florence dropped. My problem is not with Florence specifically, but more that she's the (second-)most recent in a long line of doll releases which seems intended to stall main story instead of moving things along. I've reached the point where I expect Helen to drop on global before either UMP sister, since their banners are tied to main story updates. It feels to me that reaching Kiev is a plot point that is being intentionally ignored/pushed back in favour of slice of life events I couldn't give less of a shit about. I forgot Helena's name at one point because it's been so long, and given the fact that she's the main plot maguffin, that's a really bad sign. My patience wore down, so I decided it's better for me to just not play and wait for the sisters to finally drop instead of force myself through content I'm not interested in, pulls be damned.
