Millennials when they are old enough to make their own video games: Makes wholesome games about being a naughty goose. Also makes an RPG where you don't have to kill any of the enemy monsters but make friends with them because you feel bad for them

Violent AAA games don't count shut up, corporations aren't people.

The stark contrast between the stuff my generation makes in the indie scene compared to the corporate scene is pretty interesting though.

    Deltarune

    Hey we're only 2/7 of the way there! I'm a bit concerned about what Toby Fox has in store for us since he can do horror just as well as wholesome and funny.

        I'm containing myself from going on an a full unhinged Deltarune hiatus brain theory rant, :pepe-silvia: but I'll say this:

        • Kris seems to be analogous to Chara, and as far as I remember, while they were a fucked up kid they were not evil (at least before they died). They probably have good reasons for being sus (I'm partial to the "trying to break a time loop/prevent the Roaring by going off-script" theory, which could also explain whatever the fuck is going on with the weird route).
        • that Alphys anime review from chapter one struck me as meta commentary on this game's relation to Undertale, specially since one of the main differences is that Kris is an actual character, in contrast to Frisk:

        This reviewer had Mew Mew 2 as her first exposure to the series... And let her tell you, it makes Mew Mew 1 look like a dumpster with sparkly cat ears! With a darker storyline and more mature themes... The second one treats the viewer like a real adult... Instead of like an animal that will die if it goes ten seconds without seeing a beach ball. Not to mention Mew Mew's character in the first one... Is more stale than the ramen I eat at home by myself with the lights off. Teens and older should check out this dark masterpiece!

        • I wouldn't be concerned about a grimdark nihilistic twist. I think maybe the Roaring might be inevitable but being nice is still important:

        There's something more important than reaching the end.

            gotcha, that makes sense. i probably would have understood if id ever played deltarune. i enjoyed undertale so i tried deltarune when it came out, and after the "character creation" i realized i was legit just playing more undertale, which is exactly what most people wanted im sure but is not something i was actually interested in.

                sounds like fun. i should probably give the game another shot entirely tbh. it's been long enough since i played undertale now that i probably wouldn't be so viscerally disgusted by the thought "oh god it's undertale 2"
