ProfessorProf posted:ANYWAY, this marks the actual end of the Undertale LP. Thanks for reading. I'm finally free Aren't you happy? You're finally going to be free. ...what I took away from this last update is that Toby Fox designed the game to have built in Creepy Pasta. Man knew his audience, that's for drat sure. Thanks for the LP, Prof. Without it I might never have played it for myself.

I figured a lot of the Genocide run was also basically inbuilt creepypasta. Especially the very end of it.

Before we get this all wrapped up, and since all the characters have been posted and expanded on to be relevant, there's two more Undertale related things that aren't actually part of the game which you should check out. First of all there's Opaopa13's Sans Diary CYOA which is a confusing, yet fun, CYOA book that is actually Sans' diary. Each time you read through it, you change the steps that were taken up until the point that you pick up the book. There's the usual storylines, but you can also have some fun outside the normal bounds of it once you complete the main story once. There are 3 endings: The normal "end" of the book, and two other secret ones. Then there's One by One, possibly the only good FanFiction to have ever been written. This was posted without credit in the Undertale thread until it was wrapped up in its epilogue, afterward the OP Oxxidation admitted to being the author. It starts off really strong and carries through all 8 of its chapters, and gets its characterization pretty spot on (although I feel like Frisk gets a bit too talky after a while). Those are the two big and important fanworks I can think of, but for anybody that wants to see more fun fanworks, you're officially beyond being spoiled by anything, so head on over to the Main Undertale Thread in Games.

Welp, now that the FUN cat is out of the bag, I'd like to refer to the followingRabidWeasel posted:Well, it's kind of cheating since they're basically 2 different characters. It's not "now I accept the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" but "I had my sociopathy healed from gaining a soul, completely changing my personality, and now I feel bad". Flowey got to see how much everyone cared about Frisk / each other and he just doubled down on being a nihilistic rear end because he was physically incapable of doing anything else. McDragon posted:Sans and Papyrus should have a huge cousin called Impact. And one called Wingdings who nobody can understand. You guys were more right than you knew :V Also, here's the secret boss that everyone I think there's a few neutral endings that never got transcribed, someone's mapped them out here, and finally, every Papyrus/Undyne phone call.' Thanks Prof for making a baller LP.

It's widely speculated that "W. D. Gaster" expands to "Win Din Gaster", making his name a combination of Wingdings and Aster.

Thanks for doing all of this! But, even though the puzzle was a fun little thing, I do think that at some point you should put the Gaster stuff in a post. If not for the clever posters, then for archive readers that won't have this thread to help them.

Thanks so much for this LP, Prof! Thanks to your passion for the game I was inspired to buy and play it myself real early on, avoid spoilers, and watch this whole crazy thing unfold.  And then infect others, too! I'm sure a lot of buzz around this game is your direct or indirect doing.

Thanks for playing through all of this for us, Prof, and everyone else who contributed! While this LP didn't inspire me to buy Undertale, it did serve to show off all the neat (and horrible) things that were put in this game that my own approach to playing it never allowed me to see. As a pacifist runner who put the game down the moment I figured this is as good as it gets, knowing all the what-might-have-beens has been a bit of a guilty pleasure, but I certainly don't regret vicariously experiencing them in all their great and terrible glory. I don't think I would have ever been quite satisfied without something like this LP filling me in, particularly as the internet has shown itself chock full of neat Undertale fan material, and now I can finally, finally bring myself to go hunt more of it down. Suggestions, anyone? P.S. I recently offered a brief poem to go with gift versions of Undertale to two of my friends. It went something like this: A game for you to play as well, The path that's true, I'll never tell. This golden cue is your best bet, That what you do, is what you get. One of said friends tried the game and responded along the lines of: 'Oho, I see, they don't die, just leech XP. I guess this is some sort of goody-two-shoes game. Not quite my thing, but it looks neat so I'll probably finish it.' It confused me at the time, but having read fractalairduct's contribution, I think he must've arrived at Napstablook, tried killing it to get it out of the way, didn't quite pay attention and drew all the

There's a few things Prof passed over in Snowdin and the snow fields. Things like repeatedly heckling Snowdrake.   Jesus Christ, what the gently caress?! What the gently caress. Why would you ever say that.  ... We win. ... Well, after you heckle away or kill Snowdrake, you can encounter a new monster in the area.  Chilldrake is a rude, rebellious monster who has the same attacks as Snowdrake, but is otherwise very different. Let's see what the dialogue box says! * It smells like "Ice" scented body-spray. * Chilldrake is chanting an anarchist spell. * Chilldrake is wondering where Snowy went. * Chilldrake starts a one-monster riot. And what does he say when he attacks? "NEVER do your homework!!" "*turns music up all the way*" "No bedtime! Only DEADTIME" "Brush my teeth? No way in heck!" Our ACT options are CHECK, AGREE, CLASH, and JOKE. Let's CLASH, Chilldrake.   No dice. Let's tell him a JOKE.  No, that's not what I--  ...Well. Let's wait for him to say something infantile and rebellious and then AGREE with him.    And then we can SPARE him.   That dog considers itself an artist, but doesn't ever know what to create. It probably doesn't help that its brain is the size of a piece of kibble.If you don't hyperstimulate Lesser Dog, this happens. Prof pet Doggo after using the Stick on him; if he hadn't, Doggo would say:  A stick appeared out of nowhere, then disappeared. Was it a ghost stick? Did I just return it to the afterlife? I need some dog treats to think about this....What happens when we DECORATE Gyftrot?    Heh heh heh. Let's DECORATE him again.  Oh, awesome, I caught a picture of Gyftrot blinking its antlers! And, of course, if you kill Dogaressa before Dogamy...     You break Dogamy's spirit. His only attack now is spitting a single heart bullet, which floats to the ground, sadly. ...  Let's check out Snowdin in a genocide run, but before we clear the area of monsters. Some monsters don't say anything different; we'll skip them.   Don't know why, but it's sending shivers down my spine... Ah, it's so peaceful and quiet... Usually one of those dogs chases my little Cinnamon around. You know what's cute? Those two married dogs always put presents under the tree for each other. It's always the same. A single bone. But every time, they act like it's the first time they've gotten it. Then Papyrus comes to take his bones back. Anyway, where are those two...? It just feels like... Like everything is getting worse and worse. I've sent the kids inside. It feels unsafe here today.  It's s-s-so quiet in here. L-lighten up everybody! This is why I hate th-this place. The capital's getting pretty crowded, so I've heard they're going to start moving here. ... who knows. Maybe we'll have room. Those dogs are part of the ROYAL GUARD, the... Huh? Where are they? Something feels really off.You call that depressing?! Ha! What happens if you kill Doggo and Greater Dog, but leave Dogamy and Dogaressa alive?   This isn't mine, but it shows what happens if you kill Greater Dog and the Dogi, but not Doggo.  And if you kill Doggo and the Dogi, but not Greater Dog (again, not mine)?  When Doggo doesn't make it:  We put Greater Dog to sleep:  The Dog Couple is brutally murdered:   ... I kill all the monsters in the area and confront Papyrus.    By 'confront', I mean 'hug'. Great big hug. Tears may have been involved.

Can't recall, has anyone shown off the Wrong Number phonecall that (apparently very rarely) occurs in Snowdin? I got it the very first time I played, when I had killed Toriel not knowing that I could have spared her. It was the first time the cell phone had gone off since Toriel was alive.  Some stuff about her house changes, too. Her oven gets a different description if she's dead, though I don't know what else is different.

ProfessorProf posted:At this point, post whatever you want. I think it's the 36th line. 35th if you don't count your name. It should start as the same value as whatever your Fun did before you edited it, so it's not hard to find. EDIT: You mean, this phone call?  ?: Hello! Can I speak to G… ? ... ? Wait a second. Is this the wrong number? A jangly tune plays. ?: Oh it’s the wrong number! The wrong number song! ?: We’re very very sorry that we got it wrong! ?: Oh it’s the wrong number! The wrong number song! ?: We’re very very sorry that we got it wrong! (Click) There are apparently a couple of other phone calls you can get here, if your Fun value is higher. I've only ever seen this one. While I'm here, here's some more Fun stuff.    ?: I’m visiting Waterfall from the city. ?: Synchronicity…? My neighbour’s daughter looks about your age. ?: Her name is “Suzy.” I feel like you two should be friends. ?: You have… a neighbour’s blessing!!! ?: Not knowing where I live is no issue.

Pittsburgh Lambic posted:Can't recall, has anyone shown off the Wrong Number phonecall that (apparently very rarely) occurs in Snowdin? Apparently there's a chance you can get a phonecall of someone ordering a pizza but getting the wrong number (fairly sure it's supposed to be Alphys), instead of the wrong number song. The wrong number song also starts off with someone going "Can I speak to G..." "G", huh?

The wrong number song only happens up by the riverperson dropoff point at the earliest time. The other phonecall happens in the area where Sans' guard station is (I think? I already forgot), and varies between Sans pranking you, and Alphys trying to order a pizza and messing up the order.

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.
