That's about as comparable as saying that this whole ordeal hasn't been weth it.

I realise that in hindsight that might have come off as if I said Kagus was dumb, when I really just wanted to make a Norwegian joke

Considering I'd just made a Swede joke, I figured that was understood. Bit o' the ol' Scandibanter.

[Hanslanda]

It's okay folks. It's commonly understood that everyone north of Denmark is too dumb to get their own jokes.

(Did I do it right?)

What genre is Undertale's soundtrack?

What genre is Undertale's soundtrack?

Instrumental, ambient, atmospheric, chiptune, depending on each song. They're all classified under VGM too.

[Putnam]

you could always find more toby fox for all that too

[hops]

Tobynasty should be a genre.

Foxnasty?

The chosen one?

[Reelya]

I don't think greatorder necessarily means an in-character storyline where they are the chosen one, more of a literary flaw in which every other character only exists for the benefit of the hero, thus it feels like the whole world is just hanging around waiting for the protagonist to "do stuff" before any actual events happen. More closely related to the Mary Sue concept than the Chosen One concept.

Plot solipsism?

[wierd]

Possibly related to Deus ex Machina.  Where there are all these horrific problems, and then POOF, out pops a god, at the most convenient possible moment, and "Everything's good now!"

In this case, instead of a god, you have the protagonist-- and just like there is no real substance to how the god just fixes everything, there is no real substance-- no struggle, and no real development or accomplishment-- to the protagonist fulfilling their role in fixing the problems of the world.  (In fact, it seems the problems of the world exist exclusively to make a reason for the protagonist to exist.)

All of these are trappings of bad story telling. 

[Kagus]

I figured it was more about how the character in question just passively exerts a great amount of influence on the story/reality around them. A kind of character gravity.

Sort of like how an "unlucky" character constantly has things happening around them, by virtue of them being there to have the things happen to them.

Ever seen The Cooler, with Bill Macy? His character exudes an aura of destiny manifestation, so to speak.

[Kagus]

Accelerator. Accelerator controls gas input into the piston chambers, and not every revolution injects gas. Lower gear means more gas per injection cycle, higher gear means comparable injection rate per time, but spread out over more cycles (since there are more cycles to be spread out over).

At least, that's my understanding of it... But I don't even have a goddamn license, so I'm probably not the person to be answering this.

[Hanslanda]

I have a license but I'm the sort that knows the absolute minimum about internal combustion. I can change oil, check fuses, check coolant, and visually identify catastrophic fuck ups but that's about it.
