1. Huh. I always assumed the player was female, too. It's sorta vague though. I'm pretty sure it's intentionally vague.
Even the name "Frisk" is pretty gender-neutral. What's really weird is that... around the time (name)/Chara was revealed to be someone different from Frisk, I started thinking of Chara as male, even though they look identical to Frisk. What's even weirder is that, despite me thinking Frisk was a girl and Chara a boy, I still call them both "they".
I also thought Monster Kid was a girl, but apparently not?
none of this matters tho
2. Also did lots of music for Homestuck. By lots of music I mean about half the music I have on my hard drive is either made by him or remixes of his work.
In fact, I kept trying to go through Dogsong in my head, but it ended up segueing into another song. I tried to remember the other song before remembering, oh, another Toby Fox song.
Another song made me nostalgic despite having never heard it before. Turns out, it's because it's very similar in structure to Penumbra Phantasm, an oft-remixed Toby Fox song.
I mashed up the melody I put into some MIDI program with the song here, that guy who puts together all the Homestuck music references literally thought they were the same song when there was a muffled sample in a trailer so I guess I'm not off base
3. just a guy who makes music for Homestuck and earthbound romhacks and...
the best RPG released on steam apparently???I actually liked his music but had some WEIRD subconscious dislike of the guy somewhere in my mind... not sure where that came from, Undertale utterly ruined it for me, I cannot dislike anyone who could write these characters
4. *plane noises*
5. I died 11 times, all of which were against bosses, and all of which were due to the game messing with me unexpectedly.
If I were to guess, it was 4-5 against Undyne, 3-4 against Mettaton EX and 3 against ASGORE. I know for a fact that it's exactly 3 against ASGORE, since the game files said that. My Undyne deaths were twice due to her actually being hard and two-three times more because I didn't know you had to flee instead of spare. My Mettaton EX deaths were due to not knowing you had to shoot the disco ball, mostly. My ASGORE deaths were because I didn't know you had to try killing him.
6. *car vrooming*
7. Yeah, it's great how
everything seems to follow the rules... except specifically when they break.
The Sans fight is probably my favorite example, heh. You check him and it says "weakest enemy in the game, can only do one hit point", but he utterly ignores your mercy invincibility. Hardest fight in the game by far. I can't muster up the courage to get to that point, heh, but people have played the game, did pretty well then died against Sans dozens of times. Expected genocide playtime is 3-4 hours to get to Sans and 3-4 hours to beat him.
8. I did some things differently from most people, so I'm constantly having to correct them on stuff because a lot of people who give instructions give them as if it were
them playing, which leads to a different playthrough than others. It's beautiful.
