Also, there's a fourth way to deal with the dummy in the ruins.

Does Mad Dummy have anything notably different to say about this? :v:

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
The answer is (almost) always yes. Different solutions to the Dummy fight at the beginning lead to different responses from the Mad Dummy.

there's a post on gamefaqs i found that lists all of mad dummy's justifications.

> Fight
YOU DESTROYED THEIR HOME! Us ghosts spend our whole lives looking for a proper vessel. Slowly, slowly, we grow closer to our new bodies... Until one day, we too may become corporeal beings. Beings able to laugh, love, and dance like any other... But YOU!!! My cousin's future...! You took it all away! HUMAN! I hope you're not too attached to YOUR body... Because your SOUL's about to get EVICTED!!!

> Talk
When you talked to them, they thought they were in for a nice chat... But the things you SAID...! Horrible. Shocking! UNBELIEVABLE! It spooked them right out of their dummy! HUMAN! I'll scare your SOUL out of your body!

> Flee
They were a shy sort. Living a lonely life in the RUINS... They saw you and hoped you might TALK to them. Perhaps strike up a friendly conversation. But NO!!! You ran away. And broke their little ethereal heart. Despicable. Despicable! DESPICABLE! HUMAN! I'll show you what REAL heartbreak is!

> Spare a lot
YOU...! You... Shucks! You were really boring! They got annoyed and flew away like any self-respecting spectre. Well then. Well then! WELL THEN! Boring people are crumbs sticking to the face of this world.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Going to teach this game next semester in a class that'll be some print fiction, some games, and some in between stuff (hyperlink stories, Twine, etc). Will leave the class to their own devices for initial playthroughs, but very glad to be able to draw on this thread to blow their minds afterward. :shittydog:

Good LP, I spoiled myself pretty thoroughly on this because I felt I wouldn't have time to play it (in grad school). That and garden variety curiosity.

Now I bought the game and the soundtrack and will probably play through myself as a victory lap for this LP come winter break.

Just powered through the whole LP, thanks so much for doing this! I bought it but just couldn't get into the bullet hell thing. I'm glad I got to see the rest of the game, though. Was Asgore/Toriel/Asriel's name being Dreemur anything more than a red herring? It reminded me of Link's Awakening in a way, but it never seemed to be anything more than a name.

It's not specifically mentioned one way or the other, but it'd be a stretch to believe the dream route since the game potentially spans multiple days and the monsters are with you when you exit the barrier, and getting out would be the standard wake up point

The Sezza posted:

Ohhh. Okay, I know what's going on now. I did hear about it second-hand so I didn't see it myself, but the stuff I said is actually in the game's source files. I checked the big rip of all the text and it was there, but I guess it just wasn't actually used in-game. I just assumed it was cause it was exactly the kind of thing I expected would have happened. I have been semi-japed. My apologies.

It might be random whether you get it, or it could be faked, I'm not entirely sure.

Agreed. I was looking at a pastebin of something else the other day and the little "Public Pastes" bar on the right hand of the page had Undertale slash fiction. Not the worst thing I've blundered into on pastebin, but it was up there.

The internet will make porn out of anything, from what I've seen the majority of the Undertale fan community just makes a load of fanfiction (ranging from awkward to adorable) and more :3: artwork than you can possibly bear. It could be a lot worse.

...It's the thought that counts, right?
I've lurked this thread since the start; buying the game and soundtrack halfway through the first update. I'd never heard of the game, or even that Toby Fox was working on one until this LP. I do not regret my purchases, or my time reading this thread. I've since rode the rollercoaster and done every kind of playthrough imaginable, and continued reading the thread...even the posts that got cringe-worthy and full of spoilers before the LP got to them. Great work here, the LP itself managed to remain at least as entertaining as the game itself.

Before this thing closes, I'm just curious--in the Papyrus killed run judgement, Sans says that sometimes you act like you know what's gonna happen, does he say the same thing if you haven't reset/died/reloaded up to that point on a 'first' run?

There's a sorta nudge-nudge-wink quality to his comment at the restaurant that he's kept you safe so far because you never died.

I think it's always the same as long as you kill Papyrus on that run.

For those who were unaware, Prof started another LP. Like this one, it's another low-budget game from a small company that nonetheless received nearly universal praise and became a cult classic. Unlike this one, it wasn't made in the last six months.

We have a ridiculous debate on whether games are or aren't art.

Artisan means someone who practices a skilled trades with their hands, not an artist.

That said... who says you can't create art in the medium of coffee? Are you gaining much by saying human expression can't extend to drinks? Small minded thinking only shrinks your world, not the world of the visionary who's recreating the taste of the Irish Potato Famine by putting tarragon and shaved willow in a latte.

I know it's probably too late to add these into the LP, but here are some silly lines from the Mettaton EX fight.

Oooh, it's time for a pop quiz! I hope you brought a keyboard... This one's an essay question!

Nice. You get a gold star. [Any writing]
Beautiful. Sometimes the fewest words speak the loudest. [One word]
Speechless...? Who can blame you? [No writing]
How creative. Arms... most people just think about my legs. [ARMS]
My hair... yes, I use metal hair gel. [HAIR]
Toby? What the hell is that? Sounds... sexy. [TOBY]
They say I have the voice of a Siren... awooga! [VOICE]
Dancing...? Thank you, I'm self-taught. [DANCING]
That's right. Legs was the correct answer! [LEGS]
Nice detail... You're right, I do look quite nice. [GORGEOUS]
Oh my! This is a family friendly TV show. Now stand still while I murder you. [Any sort of profanity (including "bepis")]
Huh? This essay is supposed to be about me, not about you... [Any sort of insulting word]
