>Noel is a holiday in December
schizo theory, zero thought or effort put in-
Noelle IS Dess (after not surviving)
Alternatively Dess's real name is Hannukah.

>>712969387
except we got that one flashback showing TWO Holiday kids hanging out with the Dreemurr family.

>why is this thread so dead

Every single time

>>712969463

>>712969526
>bait thread
>spamtenna thread
>plus this one
Which one am I missing?

>>712969636
Nevermind, just saw it.

>>712969387
You're overthinking it. All of the Holiday family have Christmas-themed names (that happen to be real names)
>Noelle is the feminine form of Noel, which is a French word for "Christmas" and a given name (for people born near Christmas)
>December is the month it happens. This one isn't a common name but apparently it does exist
>Carol as in "Christmas carol"
>Rudolph as in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

>>712969759
nah, surely you jest

I made the Tenna/spamton thread because I didn't see this one. We should start putting "delta" somewhere besides the subject, like in the file's title for example.

I remember Toby mentioning in one of the newsletter updates that they were having trouble working on a room with "hundreds of trees" or something to that effect. At the time there was some confusion about whether he meant hundreds of tree objects, like a forest area, or hundreds of dialogue trees. Either way, can anyone think of a room in 3 or 4 that fits that description?

>/v/ wants to rape this

>>712970213
one of two things come to mind
>the mantle game
when you go out of bounds the screen is filled with trees completely.
but there's less than a hundred.
>start of the third sanctuary
there are a lot of floating prophecies, but it might not be enough to make it to "hundreds" territory

>>712970106
We used to do just that until a certain janny started to lose his shit a couple days ago.

>>712970213
found the newsletter you were talking about
>https://utnewsletterarchive.neocities.org/issue2
>Tree Adventure
>Please don't hack the code of the game and look at it this time, because we had four thousand little tree objects in one room and when we tried to run on consoles as a test it wasn't even reaching 30 fps. Lol.
>We fixed it within several hours. But... Lol.

>>712965428 (OP)

>>712970786

Oh ok. Might've just been a stress test thing, not actual content.

>>712969193

So why is nobody talking about how Papyrus seemingly vanished?

>>712973320
Because it's narratively irrelevant and has 0 implication for anything at all

it makes sense for him to know the codes for the parental locks on his own TV though.

What the fuck is Friend's deal, do we still think he's possibly Mike?

a lot of the theories are starting to get pretty stupid now, but at least they're funny.

What if, when Kris threw us in the bathroom trash, Noelle and Carol's waste products were in there, like their used bloody pads

Glad to see more art like this for Deltarune

Do you guys ever *Check enemies? I never do because I'd rather not waste a turn just for flavor text. Even more on Chapter 3 when you're supposed to beat battles first if you want the best score.

>>712979062
*beat battles FAST. God damn I need to go to sleep.

>>712979062
When I'm not getting graded (Chapter 3) yea

>>712979062
I try to do it every new encounter but I feel like I forget half the time.

>>712965428 (OP)
Frisk will take a number 2 on Kris’s mouth

>>712979062
Hell yeah bro I live for that useless analysis. Even in Chapter 3 cause you can encounter every enemy off the board anyway.

>>712979359
Our KING

>>712979062
You can get a T-rank even when wasting a turn to check. I'd know because it took me two separate turns to get the shadow guys to full mercy, and having Susie or Ralsei focus on fully sparing just one of them while Kris does a check would result in the same number of turns to spare everything.

>>712979062
i try to do it but its easy to forget since it takes a turn.
several fangames (ambitious full fangames so not complete lmao) have actually made the check not consume a turn

are Earthbound RPGs still 'in' or is there a charm to them only Toby can summon

Listen to what Gerson says. You will never regret picking up the pen and giving it your best shot even if it falls short, but you will always live with regret if you never tried.

>Chara isn't an actual character
It's incredible how people can be so petty they straight up deny a character's existence in a game where they are explicitly named and even shown.
Yeah most theories regarding chara suck fucking dick but that doesn't mean the character itself is part of the general plot of Undertale, not just the genocide route

>>712980234

So Asgore as police chief basically fought Dess in her knight form after whatever incident made her that way, managed to defeat and chip off a black shard from her armor.
For some reason no one believes him (except for maybe Kris who was most likely present) and took the fall for the entire thing when it was actually Kris that caused it.
I really hope Toby doesn't just continue to humilliate Asgore for no reason, I really don't understand the point of shitting on the guy so much considering how much of a sympathetic character he is, both in Undertale and Deltarune

>>712979935
>You will never regret picking up the pen and giving it your best shot even if it falls short
Bullshit, that's how you get the biggest form of regret: realizing you suck.

>>712979935
>A good game, made with integrity and love will always have its audience.
there are literally thousands of games that come out on steam every day made with integrity and love that no one will ever play

hi susie

>>712980345
If you hadn't ever done it before, why do you need to do it to realise that? Did the Susie bit not teach you anything?

>>712980412
in real life, people don't have character arcs. they just sort of exist. there's no mentor to pour their diet coke down the toilet. (laughs)

>>712980383
i actually checked how many games come out on steam, ~25-30 a day as of two years ago
and, unsurprisingly, most of it is shovelware trash.

to me, the biggest obstacle I see right now is that it is fucking impossible to change someone's mind (thanks Gintama)
in the real world, changing YOUR own mind requires some level of IQ and introspective, and being able to change someone else's mind requires some hidden verbal IQ talent where you have to be able to walk someone around in their own mind until you arrive at the desired conclusion

>>712980345
Yeah I suck so fucking what? I've revised my story several times by now and I've written smaller project stories too that are as simple as "red haired Black mage girl has temper issues, kicks a bunch of invading monster asses for interrupting her favorite show" it's that simple.

you cant get better if you never try.

>>712980873
>Why bother if you aren't born with talent?
Talent is a psyop anon. If talent was real, you would be finding toddlers speaking more eloquently than most adults. All skills are a grind, it all depends on you finding the fun in learning itself. There's no talent for that, only a change in mindset.

>>712980723

>>712980976
It's a good thing he's multi talented in 7 other categories and people don't really care if pixelshit looks like pixelshit (see: most indie games since VVVVVV) so he can make fat bucks off the real audience, autistic furries who can self-insert into the premade fanon-idealized versions of morally bizarre characters while music that is specifically calculated to make people cry plays.

this but unironically

>>712980873
Toby started with a shitty Mother Romhack, and spent a ton of time doing Undertale on Game Maker of all things on ifs and elses, and he already had DELTARUNE in mind when doing Undertale. It was too ambitious and he couldnt do it at the time, that's his entire reason for Undertale.
You just don't want to put the effort and keep making excuses for yourself. Toby didnt even know a lick of music he just references music he likes.

>posts an example of the exact "haha binary brush and drawing intentionally goofy, it's so le shitty, so le bad!!" shit that Toby does
with all due respect: fuck off

So what the fuck are the implication of Toby beinging back "It's raining somewhere else" and calling it "The place where it rained"? Are we about to get sans being relevant in the story?

>>712979548

>>712981013
Disagree: speaking a language is a taught skill, not an inherent ability, and even then you have people more talented, e.g. able to fluently learn a second language or a third or even more much later in life than when a child normally learns a language. The visual arts are 100% skill. Your brain and hand work that way, or they don't.

>>712981057
the only thing that yurifag can do is write, make jokes, and compose. he's a shit coder and a shit artist, of which both are extremely important for making a game.
and again, do you think he LET that stop him?
fuck no. he followed his (literal) dream and let it take him to the ends of the earth.
even with his hands being shot, he's still pushing through.
you have no excuse for not trying aside from your own lack of [determination]
and it could not be EASIER to make a game in the modern age, almost everything is provided for you from pre-packaged scripts/tutorials for everything to art pack assets.

>>712981172
>language a taught skill, not an ability, so everyone learns it
>visual arts is 100% skill, not an ability, so you either can learn it or can't
I think you need to skip the definition of what's a skill or an inherent ability, it's clearly not going to go anywhere. My original post says it much clearer: All skills are a grind. The only "talent" that exists is the fun of learning, which can only be found with a change of mindset.

Here's a secret for you: "earthbound-inspired indie rpg about depression" is a joke and not, in fact, a condemnation of some stale cliche. I'd think the fact that RPGMaker still exists would clue you in.
The real problem, more than anything else, is reaching the people who would in fact enjoy your shit. If you have high enough powerlevel to release it as freeware, it's no good if it's just gonna rot on mediafire's servers.

>>712965428 (OP)
Who?

>>712981383
Toby is hussie without the self-destructive mental illness. His power level is far beyond anyone's comprehension.

>>712981351
Toby's actual art, as posted around (on the Starman forums, on his high school graduation wall, etc) isn't great, but it's pretty generic 2000s DeviantArt stuff. And it's clearly already got the grasp of layers and lights and whatnot, on top of the generic "invader zim plus anime wiggly arms" style that lined webpages back then. That's the best he could do 15 years ago and it is head and shoulders above the cryptic MS Paint shit he posts now where he acts like all the planning for his decade-long megamillion dollar fever dream game is really done in 10 seconds in Paint because it's that unimportant. it's irony poisoned.

>>712980459

>>712981518
>without the self-destructive mental illness.
We've only just finished Deltarune's Gigapause. There's still plenty of time for things to go topsy-swervy, especially with the various direct fandom references in Ch.3/4.

>>712981480
>Toriel caring about Kris
So he was wrong all along?

>>712981340

>>712981587
Toriel does care, she just so happens to be a tipsy harlot

>>712981572
And let's not forget the cut content, who knows what else was on the board, we just got a glimpse of what we know within the game

Hear my little schizo theory out
>First time we meet the knight it's purely animalistic, even drooling on the floor and screaming.
>It only manages to show a real personality after the fight, "knighting" Kris.
>Then it kidnaps Undyne
>Next time we see it, it has more of an attitude, taunting Susie several times.
>Once even copying Dio
>It's basically acting like an anime villain now, down to the cockiness
What I propose is that "The Knight" is a parasite, perhaps using Dess as a base or perhaps not, and the "sacrifice" was basically Undyne being absorbed or parasitized in another way by The Knight. This way it can use a host, any host, to travel the light world and the Knight takes full form in the Dark World. And I think Eram is supposed to look like this parasite that can only really live on its own in the dark.

As long as ZUN and ONE exist, everything about talent is a cope. The only stopping factor is being a perfectionist. I would know, I hate almost all of my creative shit because I always keep thinking it isn't good enough.

I have other games, dude. Currently playing Lies of P, waiting for Tokyo Xtreme Racer to finish in September, I play F-Zero 99 for fun, new Path of Exile league just started... this is without mentioning things I do offline/outside. I love Deltarune but it's not my only source of joy.

>>712981705

How would you feel if Toby went out of his way to subvert everything people thought of Gaster and simply makes him another joke or meta-callout against obsession?

>>712981687
>The Knight is just Cell from DBZ

>>712981572
Honestly I feel like Toby played the game as a whole relatively straight and put fandom nods only in places where they didn't compromise whatever his vision is.
The Mike-related trio's schizophrenia might look like a huge joke at first glance but when carefully reexamining it I'm not so sure.

>>712981687
>>It only manages to show a real personality after the fight, "knighting" Kris.
You were probably too busy dodging but The Knight showed to be very graceful with its sword. It had plenty of personality for a single encounter.

>>712981726
>as long as people with talent exist, everything about talent is a cope

>>712981963
>Gaster has a fursona

nerf the knight

>>712981771
That reminds me of those shitty RPG maker games Korone plays that last like an hour or so, the premise is always something like "what if the hero was a frog" or "what if the hero was lost"
Sometimes the guy puts effort like with "What if the hero was weak" as a premise that involves the weak hero and his strong party fighting the demon army, to get 3 crystal wishes, and then when you beat the game you get to start anew but as the strongest, and the tone of the story shifts, and it eventually leads to the heroes fighting the creator of the world for a right future.
It's basic, but it's the smaller projects that pave the way as practice.

>>712981839
Maybe because other hobbies don't have people breathing down their neck about how "I shouldn't even bother, I'll never be good on the first try perfectly and generationally successful" when said hobby is like woodowrking, figurine painting, or anything else. Maybe because the default response to seeing a guy saying the most objectively wrong thing like "You need talent to earn the right to do something" is completely fucking braindead.
Maybe, just maybe, despite the endless self-deprecation and cope about not being a multi-generationally successful quintillionaire entrepeneur, the hobby is still happy enough to tell you that the point of art is not success, quality, perfection, or anythig else material, but instead a form fo expression that you should be using to express what you can right now.
Maybe you need to shut the fuck up and just do it, and then prove not just us but yourself right that by doing something fruitless you achieved nothing. Maybe then someone will accept your cope about talent. But that won't happen unless you do it earnestly.

nobody said this. they said you need talent to make anything actually worth making. just making something "for yourself" isn't art, it's barely even masturbation, it's a toddler and his crayon who thinks he's god of the paper but everyone else knows it's fucking garbage

The moment he backpedalled after [S] Game Over it was clear that he was an irredeemable hack

>>712982117
Noelle invites Kris to talk alone in her room over him reassuring and even telling that he'll protect her, after she got scared shitless over Snowgrave, which plays into her fantasy of having someone be there for her even if things get too scary.
We interrupt right around the time she's spilling out her heart on being glad that Kris is back to his former self, when she also wanted to say "something else" after all that, which given the setting they're in, and she scoots close enough, would very be a confession and a kiss.
Let's not forget one of the major changes in Snowgrave is that Noelle has the courage to approach Kris and do the inviting to her house herself, even hinting there she wanted to talk alone with him.

Toby is a mess of a person with low iq, the only thing he was able to do is lie to people and somehow make a dogshit barely workable code for a game,just leaves your morals behind.

If you can't do that you are cooked.

Would it be an overreaction to say Ralsei is genuinely too squishy? Holy shit man it wouldn't be an issue if he had some strong offensive magic as a trade off.

That's effectively the same thing as saying you don't have the right to make it.
>just making something "for yourself" isn't art
If you don't have the talent to make art, why do you assume you have the talent to know what art is? If you made something, it is art. Outsider art is a term that exists to define people who made art purely for themselves, with no publication, almost never any cultural influence, and often only found when said artist dies and has their stuff cleared from their house.

Probably, because Ralsei laments that them being kind didn't change the prophecy. But then again, this doesn't say 'struck down' or 'slaughtered' or something. He was still cleaved, just it was his arms.

They'll cope by saying "I don't want success" or "I know I can't be perfect" and then still give up because of random reasons that all lead back to just wanting to be behind a cultural phenomenon. They want success without the effort, and then cope that effort won't get you anywhere because success is all luck.

I bet most of the dev time of chapter 3 and 4 was just for the minigames in general, each of those basically needs new code for them and different drawn visuals, but it was worth it because I like them

>>712983386
The protagonist got literal retcon powers and went around various points in the story changing events. At those points, a second "next page" button was retroactively added that you needed a password to use. This caused a certain character to not die, which meant that a like a 1000 pages' worth of story didn't happen.

>>712982549
The thing is that Berdly doesn't resemble any of the characters from Hatoful. I guess it would be possible to argue he's kinda similar to Sakuya? At least in the sense both of them have their heart on the right place and you can count on them when shit goes to hell.

You're never going to make it. Not because you'll never be able to make something that speaks to people, because you are, but because your passion is weak enough that the idea you might not do it perfectly is enough to shut yourself down.

>>712981827
You see that can be explained by it already having parasitized Carol. If it got Dess first, obviously then Carol herself would be searching frantically too, so it manages to get Carol alone in the shelter and grabs her. I wouldn't know when this happened, maybe recently since the game isn't really skipping time.
>>712981883
Yeah, by this time it's absorbed Undyne and if I'm even a smidge right in my assessment then while it does take on aspects of people it's absorbed it's also becoming more of a person, who might be Dess, a girl who probably has an attitude.
>>712981867

You are pre-coping even before starting because you are a gigantic loser who fears failure and wants to convince himself that it was never worth trying.

Well guess what, talent is not something mysterious thing whos touch makes an instant expert out of anyone. The only thing that builds SKILL is practice. You sit your ass down and do things again and again until you get better and gain more insights on how to improve further, "talent" only increases the speed of this process and "talent" is a curve anyway, not a binary thing. You can have a lot of talent for something and you'd still need loads of practice to actually get anywhere. Its like, you dont have to be a Beethoven level musical prodigy composing symphonies at seven to plink at a guitar and even he was practicing several hours every day since he was a toddler.

And if all you have to offer is excuses, please kindly go and hang yourself or something, don't take all the good air from people actually getting out and accomplishing something.

>>712983006
I think it's likely chapter 6 and 7 will be evangelion-lite so you'll get a chapter 0 at most

>>712981687
Possible, I suppose
Would fit just right with the idea of fiction subsuming reality. Maybe it can only become a real boy by eating enough lightners and shrouding the world in darkness

Surprise attacks in Undertale one shot literally everything and I imagine it's the same here

>>712983984
Why should you fear failure? What happens then? You literally expect to be an instant breakout success and never fail at anything you start?

>>712984023
literally what does susie ever do that is useful besides using rude buster on the knight and even then you could just have her die and attack with kris

>>712983995
Don't make me shake you violently.

>>712982069
Susie x Noelle scenes were more important than that
Remember that there's a whole set of cut sprites for them in a scene dedicated exclusively to cucking Kris

>>712983847
Well it's not that fucked up, it's basically Invasion of The Body Snatchers or Baby from Dragon Ball, and in the Weird Route Noelle is actively getting control taken from her. If you sincerely believe this is "too much" then you might be looking at things too literally

>>712984106
Being the tankiest, dealing the most damage, now healing herself
She's being set up as the protagonist

Ralsei (female)

>>712984106

Talent is only real in the abstract. The only thing that matters is your motivation and hard work. You simply don't know how hard the people you admired worked to get where they are. Nobody is perfect the first time they just aren't
Nobody cares about your failures other than yourself it will be a footnote at best even if you become a superstar
Discussion over get back to talking about the game

>>712983984
Why shouldn't you rightfully fear success?

>>712984163
during the think about susie bit you can think about the knight instead
kris will interrupt the mental imagery narration with jockington in a nest of eggs before the knight's identity can be revealed.

>>712984163
Chapter 4, when Ralsei asks you to imagine what Susie is doing. You can refuse and then he asks you again to close your eyes and to try to think of someone else then.

>>712984105
>What happens then?
i give up forever, lie down, and cry a lot?

>>712984227
This. Imagine only seeing someone on their good days and assuming they're always happy. Imagine only seeing someone on their bad days and assuming they're always suffering.

>>712984210
is there a limit to have many times you can practice per chapter?

>>712984234
>artbitch humblebragging again

>>712984321
It only really matters in chapter 4 where the tp cost goes down. There is no limit to how much it heals though.

That is because you are a loser who never tried anything to inure himself from failure and so he could cope by telling "well I never failed at anything". Ironically, these people are the biggest failures of all, completely unable to cope with failure in a healthy way.

People fail literally hundreds of thousands in things in their lives, from laughably trivial to gravely serious and they learned how to deal with it and move on.

>>712984512
how is that cope any worse than "i already know it's failure, why bother trying?" admitting oneself is a loser and losing your creative spark after your thousand failures never make one victory?

Skill = Talent x Effort
Talent can also be practiced and learned to some degree (basically learning how to learn better, what works best for you, etc)
Outside of being genetically predisposed to being better at sports or being born with 60 iq, I would argue that talent is really only how you were raised and your current life circumstances providing a better or worse environment for your mind to attach to different skills. Like if you had a parent who routinely taught you how to properly memorize stuff for homework and that has an impact on your coding skill later on.

>>712984647
>how is that cope any worse than "i already know it's failure, why bother trying?"
It isn't, because he said that's the worst type of cope. To give up befor you tried is the ultimate failure. Congrats on your failure anon, you earned it.

I just realized why the entire rape/cope argument felt so familiar.
It already happened a while ago, the exact same argument, exactly same circumstances, and the copers were buttfuckingly (no pun intended) retarded no less than here.

Anon you're only encouraging the copeniggers more by comparing talent to a statistic. You were closer to the mark of talent being something based on how you were raised, because early life skills like that do influence your interest in that stuff.

I'm more thinking along the lines of 7th Stand User's endgame, where you hopped around the Stardust Crusaders timeline looking for secrets.

>>712984647
I think talent really doesn't exist in a meaningful sense. Physical predisposition does, and attitude does.
Like, good luck being a basketball player if you're 5'4" or memorizing entire books without summarizing if you don't have an eidetic memory
But that said, for shit like playing music, or programming, or drawing, it's all really effort. The difference comes with how people consume energy to exert effort.
The so-called talented people fall into slumps now and then because for them, they never consciously exert effort, so when they're forced to exert effort manually, they simply can't.

You do remember your VESSEL, anon?

>>712985001
Because there is NO objective metric by which you can judge artistic talent, but its pretty easy to find why a genetic freak with legs built like a horse is better at running than lanky timmy the lardass through basic fucking biology and medical study, all objectively.
Art, on the other hand, is 90% subjective by definition, and nothing stops an artist who learned to be good to claim that "Yeah i just have talent lmao" because hes either humble/clueless about his ability to learn, or a jackass that wants to sandbag other artists from emerging by claiming you have to be born with it, and how the fuck are you going to prove that he was "born" that way and not bullshitting? What fucking metric? Meme like IQ?

>>712985238
I keep forgetting what name I gave it.

>>712985048
Snowgrave is starting to look real halfbaked desu

>>712985445
It's just how you're born. The artist has talent because he is successful and people like his art. Isn't it obvious?

>>712985345
Yes.

>>712985225
Talent is just physical predisposition from the brain instead of the skeleton, but no one wants to say it because creative types are, on the whole, the type to believe that genetic differences don't exist and the brain is purely a product of socioeconomic factors.

>>712981771
Japanese people tend to use a different "rpg maker" thats a lot more powerful and you can code in as well so they don't have to rely on a ton of third party pluggins. I think its called wolf rpg editor.

>>712985505
You sure talk a lot of niggery for a guy who can't define talent beyond "Is good, makes money, and isn't me"

>>712985531

>>712981006
NTA, but
>have you ever just tried to draw to entertain yourself?
No, I can't say that I like the process of drawing.

>>712985581
Why not?

>>712985547
I literally just said what it is: your brain is naturally wired to excel at something. That's it. But saying that makes people shit their trousers because it's racist or whatever.

>>712985531
This would be a great artist if he didn't believe Kris is a woman

talent is when you struggle on your first day of learning to play the piano and then on day two you're sightreading the entire book of beginner sheet music

>>712985620
Okay but how? have you researched this? Are you a neuroscientist? Do you have a talent in neuroscience?

>>712985606
Why would I? At best, I might like result of drawing, but the process itself is at best tolerable for me.

>>712985689
Then fair enough. The original conversation was about talent, but just being disinterested doesn't make you talentless. If something else is more enjoyable for you recreationally then keep doing that. Ignore all the retardation that all the doomer anons are spewing, this shit isn't even about deltarune anymore.

>>712982623

alright you little bitch im sick of your shit.
DRYanon2 from the yellow threads here.
you know what i've got going for me for my fangame? the fact that i've got a story i want to tell... and thats more or less it.
i cant do art, music composition is lost on me, im lazy, i dont even know if people will like what i write, and going into this i knew very little C# (meaning I'm going to need to rewrite quite a few scripts before i make a proper release of any kind)

i started making an ambitious fangame with almost no initial skill.

i had to use DRYanon1's sprites to kickstart things before i found a few people willing to help in the spriting field, and once im done with the base systems i'll have to make a tech demo to beg for musicians and more spriters before i can start working on a proper chapter 1.
but do you think i let any of that stop me?
nope, i've slowly been chipping away at this for the past year and a half, and now im closer to having the fangame's base systems complete than not.
has it taken longer than i wanted due to my own laziness? absolutely, but i've still not given up.
will i drop it if absolutely nobody likes what i put out? yeah, probably.
but at least i'd be able to say that i didnt give up before even knowing that i couldn't.

if you truly want to make something, then you have no excuse to not even try. NOBODY is so utterly pathetic that they genuinely cant find a way to express their creative desires.
there's something out there for you, even if its as simple as making the occasional green of an idea that pops in your head. maybe thats how you train your ability to write longer and longer stories
on the other hand, you know what you get from self depreciation like this? absolutely fucking nothing. you'll have nothing to show for your ideas if you look at the mountain and say "oh but its too hard! i'll never be as great as the guy that already climbed the mountain!!!" before even taking the first step.

>>712985828
She doesn't look like she HAVE feet.

>>712985868
Perhaps the true goal of "I have no talent and I should give up" fags is to inspire spiteful hope in the anons who do have the drive to succeed. Thanks for giving us all hope doomeranons

Literally just Kirkegaard's Ressentiment and Nietzsche's Will to Power at its simplest. Some people try. Some don't. Those who don't always fail, regardless of anything else, copes, fears, dreams, hopes, worldview, available resources etc. They are all, without except worthless, useless and pointless for those who don't even try. They are the true underclass of humanity, the pinnacle of slave mentality, those who enslave themselves, when success is available.

Not him but I agree with both of you. I agree with you on the part that art is subjective, someone could show me a canvas where someone smearing shit on it, then show me the Mona Lisa, tell me to write an essay on why one is objectively better than the other, and I would never be able to do it even if I dedicated the rest of my life to it. But I also agree that there's mental differences between people, just like there's physical differences between people, in fact I would go even as far as to say that those mental differences are physical differences too, isn't the brain physical after all? But anyway, what I'm trying to say is, some people have a brain developed in such a way that they have inherent skills that some people cannot achieve no matter what(for example, extremely good short-term or even long-term memory), or they are simply able to learn certain skills at a faster level than other people. I don't think that's something that you can refute, there is plenty of actual evidence for it.

>>712986645
In a normal playthrough it allows you to recruit anyone you missed. In snowgrave it lets them get a second chance at you

>>712986440
I wonder if this will clash with the ending of the game, assuming there truly is only one ending, or maybe the regular an ending, and the even worse ending if you try your hardest to somehow break the prophecy.

If you want to put a positive spin to that, it just means your cheating skills aren't completely non-existent, it's just like how some people used cheat engine to slow down the game for the Knight fight for example, not everyone knows how to use cheat engine, so that's "unique" quality, more or less.

Nah. The magic buff plus the Rude Buster discount still makes the Devilsknife good.

It's weird.
I don't care what theory get confirmed or not in the next chapter, or fear the plot threads won't resolved, or anxiously wait the next chapter.
I'm just content. It's going to be a good game. And in the future, you'll be here to talk about it with me.

>>712988175
I'm anxious, but in a different way, I really want to know if there's gonna be a good, or even bittersweet ending, or one that's more or less a tragedy. And I'm anxious because, one part of me wants the good ending, but the other part of me wants the catharsis of tragedy, and I really don't know what would make me feel more, I don't know what's the word, fulfilled, I guess.

>>712987995
>>712988083
im in a similar boat, i think it would be quite nice to have asriel come in and save kris and co. it would be both a good contrast to him being the big bad final boss of undertale while also serving as a "conclusion" to this narrative that revolves around the characters and their escapism, depression etc. his arrival would signal a "return" to how it was however combined with all the growth the characters will have experienced in the 7 chapters leading up to the end it would be one stop beyond simply "return" and allow them to permanently change for the better and overcome their pasts

>>712987995
Asriel is gonna show up at the very end after the final bossfight against whatever is resolved and he looks at all the beaten, tired up townspeople and goes "Did i miss anything important?"

>>712988175
I'm happy enough with what we are heading for.
The Weird Route is taking a very interesting path so I'm just sitting there and enjoying the ride for now.
