Thats the thing, while the whole OMG UNDERTALE crowd did push me away from it for a while, I started noticing people whose opinions I actualy respected and that aren't susceptible to falling into hype trains seemed to genuinely like it and recommend it, so I decided to try it and, lo' and behold, I found it to be as good as they said it was. Sometimes you just have to ignore the community surrounding something and try it yourself, even if most of the fanbase is terrible, and undertale's fandom is pretty damn terrible, considering it overlaps with the homestuck crowd :v

Thought you guys might appreciate flooping

Positive interaction with other people makes you happy, being condescending makes other people happy. To each their own.

He said condescendingly.

All hail floop.

[TD1]

Can we hail gloop instead?

[TheBiggerFish]

Sure.
All hail gloop.

[TD1]

Excellent. Now build gloop a temple and get collections from the people. Send the proceeds to my gloop's house at [address].

Wait, that didn't work in 40.x? I swear I saw tags for it, I just assumed it worked...

No, you couldn't appoint non-fortress creature nobles in 0.40.

Come to think of it, Undertale's reception is playing out pretty much exactly like Portal's.

It even got Yahtzee to make a review saying nothing negative.

Translation: Very, very, very short review.

Wait, I can quote the whole thing.

Undertale is a good game.

Pretty much, his comments on Undertale during his Lets Drown Out series of Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin were far more in depth then his actual review of Undertale :v, and even then it was just "yea, undertale is X, ~joke about jerry~, its pretty good".

Totalbiscuit put it as his #1 despite it not having an FOV slider and despite that it runs at 30 FPS. Like, wow!

I was actually really surprised to see all the critical acclaim, I expected it to be, uh, like Homestuck in that regard, I.E mostly just ignored, but as it turns out being less than 10 hours long can really help people pay attention.

Had a professor who chose what version of the textbook he uses for the class because it was more "available" *wink wink* (he literally winked at the class here). Total hard-ass of a professor in his grading style, and it's an 8 a.m. class so that sucks, but it looks like the class might not be totally terrible.

I love memes and honestly don't understand why anyone would be mad at popular fandoms.  My only problem with Undertale's fandom would be spoilers, except they've been really cool about marking spoilers on Bay12!  (I still want to play it yet bizarrely still have not.  I've been waiting for my expectations to lower a bit, and have some solid time in which to appreciate it.  Soon.)

Usually when I see someone enjoying a meme, I do look it up so I "get it".  I guess it could be frustrating otherwise but...  It only takes a couple minutes?  And seems pretty easy just to ignore?  I don't get *annoyed* when people rickroll me, I just treat it like they said "Hey, the 00's!".  It's like smalltalk at a party, it's inane.  But also a shared experience that brings people together just a little, albeit cheaply.

Memes and in-jokes are fine. What ain't is smearing that shit like communication feces across everything and everyone you interact with.
