So I just saw the true pacifist ending.

And no.  Not for me.

lol i love that one of the more popular negative steam reviews was a lot like this

like "wow this game is really huggy and hand-holdy and tumblr and shit" even though like 50% of the game's content is very pointedly not that

The game itself is a thing, but that ending was also a thing.

...Huh? I don't see how that's related to the timeline concept.

You don't have to do any repeating friendship stuff unless you go through the entire game several times. Each person you can befriend has a unique thing (or a few, for some) to do with them, you never have to repeat them, and in fact, if you don't like the character, you don't even have to speak with them much outside of their personal arcs.

There's nothing in the game you ever really have to repeat, and even the stuff you can choose to repeat generally throws in something new and interesting unless you're going to some old shop you moved on from a long time ago. The game even includes a decent amount of time-saving quick travel stuff for that.

Imo the first neutral "ending" felt more climatic than the true pacifist ending. Both were pretty good, though.

i don't think i have ever unironically liked the use of a kazoo before this

or whatever type of liking it is when somebody plays cruel angel's thesis on a kazoo as a joke, where the actual sound isn't at all good but it's a funny juxtaposition

it actually works here, somehow, is my point

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

You're not really supposed to get the same ending over and over, nor do most endings end up there.

MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.

Well, no, I'm still looking for a decent Undertale desktop. There's gotta be a good one of Sans being a Big Damn Hero somewhere...

Yeah, if you play your cards right you only ever need to fight each boss once to see nearly everything the game has to offer.

EDIT: People are starting to obliviously post datamined stuff online. I say obliviously because I'm pretty sure they don't actually know it was datamined. I know because I'm a dirty hacker. It's... not altogether surprising that it's happening, but it's very slightly disheartening.

EDIT 2: also what's with the "meme game" thing

like this is a meme game like homestuck is a meme comic, it MAKES them memes

i can think of... a meme reference in this game. like, just the one

unless you count various earthbound stuffs as memes, which by definition you should BUT

also what's with the "meme game" thing
honestly if you want my best guess

it has superficial qualities associated with a particular culture, but because it's so difficult to pin down what exactly bothers them about a thing they don't like, they go with the first thing to come to mind as obnoxious - their memes

now, "bauglir," you might be saying, "virtually every online community has memes of some kind"

and that's true, but it's very easy to look at the spray of memes emanating from any given community and, because you lack the context or familiarity with what spawned them, conclude that the memes are all the community is, and that therefore the community is one built on memes, and that's what really binds it together and so on and so forth

your memes are okay, because they're just a reflection of the underlying ideas of your community; their memes are cancer, because they're just a veneer hiding the lack of any underlying ideas in their community - it's all they are, so they're the "meme group"

now, as to why people see only one Other community out there to get the moniker without creating undue confusion, i don't know

perhaps my own ideas on how the big social cleavage of folks with a gaming identity lies along the value placed on empathy are correct instead of my own particular breed of tribalism and smugness, or more likely there's some other, better, explanation out there, or just possibly it's evidence that i'm oversimplifying and just generally wrong about this whole thing

Nah, tribalism and smugness sounds pretty accurate, with a healthy dollop of "it's popular therefore it sucks."

So undertale songs in the game itself are differently pitched.. Hmm.

Which songs have been pitched differently aside from Death By Glamour?
