Also
Real fucking humble, Fox. Calling your own game an 8/10.

Reminder that 44% of the fanbase hasnt even played the game or even watched a playthrough of it.

They just attached to the characters without context

Who?

Fuck it I don't care.

The phrasing made it sound it like he was echoing what the vast majority thought about the game.

Holla Forums is not the vast majority.

good guy. decent game.

If anything that's credit to good character design.
Or tumblr has some mind control over children.
Actually, probably more of the latter.

tl;dr - Even Toby is shocked and horrified at the popularity of Undertale. And is well aware of the game's flaws so he isn't just jerking himself off about it.
Seems like an alright guy

Toby's a fag but that wasn't an awful post. 6/10 at best

Do you not remember how butthurt he got when UT didn't win an award at TGA?

its a 10/10 minimum, that guy, eh?

If you're gonna make him out to be a whiny, entitled bitch. At least provide more than anecdotal evidence

Let me put it this way. I was looking at soundtracks on YouTube, and one of the musicians had three different "skeleton voice OCs"

So you know how characters make different sounds when they talk? This autist made not one, not two, but three separate characters that fit into undertales setting, of skeletons, named after fonts, and and they had elaborate backstory and lower, and their only purpose was to provide backing vocals for a song

ok/10

Wonder if he's actually working on a new game or just dithering about.


Canadians: the nicest accidental shitposters on the internet.

What a horrible person.

there was that time he demanded people report those who make undertale merchandise to convention staff to have them remove the merchandise because toby wasn't seeing a profit from it. Then a few months later he licensed the rights to some shitty nerd merch group to do the same thing.

So much for the spirit of independence.

Has it really been a year since the MEMEGAME came out?

Unlicensed merchandise was shutdown during the height of the game's popularity. What exactly is wrong with this?

Time flies.

it goes against the spirit of independent creators. It kills the ability for the market to treat the demand from consumers and relies on a meddling third party to protect someone elses idea despite him not going through the correct government procedure. It's disney-level overreach, people who put hard work into something should be able to re-sell it.

why are you defending it and why did you need something so obvious to be explained? There is no excusing it. All he wanted was to make more money off of merch.

What exactly is right with it?

not thread worthy

fake post op
thats not even the real tony banks

Provided what he lost against? I'm pretty certain most people would be salty as fuck if they lost to fucking Her Story of all goddamned things.

Do not sexualize Monster Kid

same

Her Story was Absolute Kinographique. Game of the year? More like KNHO of the year.

Monster Kid reminds me of my older brother, mostly because he has no arms.

Did we ever find out the secrets of Gaster?


Considering how he can't wipe, that's gonna be a dirty asshole

You should give your older brother a handjob

Oh, pardon me. Actually, it's Kinographeque Pravdivostiya.

No.

Reminder that monster food was stated to be different and had 100% absorption. No poop.

it could still get dusty or dirty, maybe he even has to fart, who knows?

Why not? He obviously can't do it by himself

Invisible Touch was a mistake.

you were a mistake

Right, /suicide/ is that way, you might be more comfortable there.

I'm sure he'll be fine, I mostly don't want to touch my brother's dick.

This was already discussed when the issue was relevant a long ass time ago. But it's really a gray area and it's up to him to decide because it is his intellectual property and both arguments are equally valid. Especially when you consider that it's his only intellectual property and that if he protects this property in a very iron clad way he can be set for life.
There are points to what you're saying and to what I'm saying. Call him a kike but he's acted in a way that benefits him and he's probably going to use all the extra money he's gotten from licensed merchandise to make his next game look, sound and play better than a game that looks like it could run on the MSX

I'm honestly really curious about what he will do for his next game. Was UT really just a fluke, or can he do it again?

At least it will almost certainly still have good music.

I like Undertale and all, but kinda jerking himself off there. Other then that I kinda feel sorry for the guy considering the volume of autism that must've been thrown his way.

How'd he lose them?
How does he even make it through life without arms?

Happy anniversary goat

Soft tissue sarcoma.
He lives with me, I'm basically his caregiver.

do you shitpost on his behalf?

How long has it been since the undermaim threads? I loved the first 2 months, back when nobody knew about the game.

a year.

...

What does he do all day?
What's it like having to look after someone?

Why not? I'm sure he'd appreciate a helping hand

Gonna post some webms from when webm user did stuff.

Bless their souls.

Don't


Not his stance and this aint china

...

One-year anniversary you say?

...

Yes.

He listens to a lot of music. Mostly stuff like AC/DC and Ozzy-era Black Sabbath.
It gives you a strange sense of purpose.

I am not giving my disabled brother a handy you fucking pervert.

Sage for Undershit. Mods, remember the agreement. Delete these shit threads.

...

yeah h*ck off videogames xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

That's the thing. There's never any discussion of Undertale in these threads. Just shitposting.

:^) That, and Mark has said that these threads go straight in the trash now. Or at least, should.

MODS WHERE ARE YOU REEEEEEEEEEE

Pay him a hooker. He deserves it.


That's a lotta effort fam.

...

he said the generals go into the trash
learn to read :^)

If you were in his situation, wouldn't you be happy if someone were to touch your dick when you couldn't?

Do you ever fin his jizz on stuff he had to rub on just to get off?

How does he get off, then?

...

...

...

I thought I dealt with this shit.

JUST

...

...

I don't think about things like that very often.
No.

I don't know, I don't think he does.
Fucking Hell, if I even asked him something like that he'd probably just ask my dad if he could move in with him instead.

...

That's why you've gotta make him dependent on your hands for maximum sexual pleasure user, that way he'd never leave you
Then later on with enough prep you can turn him into a really big fleshlight

...

You can always pay a call girl so she can give him a good time.

Very important question: how long ago did he lose his arms?

Will he do the same with gamergay? That has had two years and is also not vidya related anymore and cancer of chanology proportions.

How does he wipe his ass?
How does he piss and not make a bigass mess?

What would happen if you also lost your arms? Who would shitpost for you?

They keep to their threads and are actually trying to do something instead of you coming to another thread to complain about an unrelated subject, if anyone here is cancer it is definitely you.

...

Undertale was kept to it's general too retard.

Jesus Christ. I can't even blame him, I remember being that bad.

All is right in the world, thank you mods

Early 2010

user, I love my brother very much, me and him are very close, but I do not want to fuck him or jerk him off.

Our toilet has a bidet seat.
I assume he just sits down.

Very nice

every time
thank god for lime he bans the videogames i dont like

Looks like Mark is going full jewt.

Could just go the way of most one-hit indie developers and just make the same game over and over again with just some minor differences like Angry Birds and Five Night At Freddies. Though Undertale would take a little bit more effort for weird, quirky stuff than what Angry and Night did for its sequels.

its lime
he's one of the worst hotpockets
worse than mark tbh

...

How does he shake it after pissing? Does he swing his hips around?

How can you say you love him if you won't even give him release? Imagine the blueballs the poor guys got going on

>he hasn't had an orgasm in near seven years
Jesus fucking Christ.
Poor guy must be sexually frustrated as fuck.

All of the hotpockets need to be either repremanded or fired, the rest of the board has no quality control whatsoever and yet here is where they draw the line on shitposting? Not even YanSim threads get bumplocked on creation.

Thanks mods for making Holla Forums a safe, secure place free of non-approved videogames.

...

No idea, I don't go into the bathroom with him.
He's never even asked or said anything about it, I don't think he's that upset.

Probably not, he doesn't talk about it and he's never gone on a date since his amputation.

...

How does he wash himself?
That could just be reduced confidence due to not having any fucking arms.

Sounds like he's waiting for you to, mom and dad don't live there, maybe you could be his girlfriend tonight

Well did he go on dates before the amputation?

...

Lime banned me for having a civil, articulate discussion about the practical reasons for illegality of child porn on Holla Forums, for the reason of Not Vidya. I didn't even bring it up, the conversation just drifted that way. He did not ban the guy I was talking to.

Even if you completely discount the fact that Mark has all but codified the idea that Holla Forums is not exclusively for vidya discussion, a ban was completely over the top, when warnings exist. I don't know what his deal is.

he's legitimately retarded
>inb4 3 day ban for rule 1 and 8

Can't even make this shit up, fam

...

I have an idea.

He doesn't. I meant I never help him when he's using the toilet, he can do that himself. However you can't exactly bath yourself when you have no arms.
It was honestly really awkward the first couple of times

A few times, yeah. He was never the type who desperately wanted a girlfriend.

nah

Hotpockets enforce what they want when they want pretty much

Have a look at the board logs sometime, a good chunk of Lime's activity is turning away reports on "shit thread sage" type posts

*you can't exactly bathe

its ok when i shitpost :^)
t. fuck off tumbltale xD

Remember when many of the best threads that occurred on Holla Forums were ones that started on topic, and then gradually drifted to way off-topic but extremely interesting or outright hilarious conversations? Remember how there are shittons of screencaps demonstrating this over almost a decade? You might, but I get the feeling that someone else doesn't.

But user, you can't have a video game that might trigger someone's tumblr flashbacks on Holla Forums

...

You'd be hard-pressed to find that kind of stuff anymore with Mark actively encouraging and enforcing the consolidation of one-off threads into recurring generals, then he'll swear up and down this board is NOT /vg/ and it shouldn't be treated like it

...

If he muscular from having to move extra to get stuff done?

Source on these?

They're pretty nice.

Why can nobody agree on this?

JUST

Same with his dick, people just cannot decide

There is no source. They were made for these threads and never posted elsewhere.

You wash his naked body yet giving him a handjob is weird?

They're real nice

Yeah, it's a shame the user basically fell of the face of the planet after the threads died.

Well that makes sense for stupid fetish reason, but there is official art of his horns. In form one, they swoop out and back. In form two, they swoop more out and more back.

How does it feel touching your defenseless brother's wet, naked body?

...

It's a shame, all that OC came from these threads.

Saved them all so in 5 years they can be shared provided vidya hasn't died/hotpockets killed the board.

Damn you. Now I have to collect them all, since I know they're of a limited lifespan.

He's really skinny, actually. He doesn't eat much despite how much I encourage him to.


I guess you could say it's intimate, but it's nothing sexual. Stop being so fucking weird please

The people who made OC steadily in the threads were
After that we had the Jasonafex thing and OC slowly died down afterwards, anyone got that? These threads were interesting.

no

I have a feeling UT is the kinda game that won't really be remembered a huge amount in fifteen years.

im too lazy to find the other edits

why the fuck do spoilers keep activating themselves

...

...

I can't believe it, considering it's so simple.

I think this is the last of them.

im retarded so tell me what did i miss

What? I'm saying that there's an extremely easy bit of OC to be made involving Undertale and Genesis, and I can't believe that the Genesis fag didn't make it. Wait, is it you? I didn't say what it was because I wanted you to feel like a fag when I made it you saw how stupidly obvious it was.

jokes on you i feel like a fag all the time

anyway lime loves the bbc
niggers

can we all agree that undertale has

good music
decent story
interesting metamechanics

bad gameplay
bad dialogue
bad art

???

Some people will never concede that Undertale had anything positive about it. So while that is a reasonable summary, we probably can not all agree on that.

My heart is melting help

MEME GAME

Remember to complain to Mark tomorrow about the quality of the moderation

or just look at the thread and the people posting in it to see why it was bumplocked like all the other undermeme threads were


those other threads have been dealt with by mark and moderators alike, and they're abiding by the rules they're supposed to follow

SOME SHIT'S GOING DOWN

undertaleqa.tumblr.com/

Doesn't look like anything worse than you'd see in a LOL thread.

Nice job everyone at totally not trying to transform this into a cancerous general by false-flagging

This thread could have been fine without the bumplock. Why do you have to be cancer mods

Holy fucking christ I thought these threads were done for. The game was decent but look at yourselves, you fucks. A large majority of the dipshits who still salivate at the thought of this game's characters didn't even fucking play it. What does that tell you? "hurr durr the character designs must be that good" No, it means that more people care about latching onto something they can make porn and fanfiction for than they do about playing the source material. That is both an insult to the source material, and a clear indication that your product appeals to casuals.

Anyone who knows anything about Thief, or DMC, or any other good game are typically those who have at least picked up the fucking controller and played through it. Sure, sure, you get shippers and fanficfags no matter the "fandom", but in this specific case the ratio of people who played the game is small compared to the number of aforementioned dipshits who spread shitty memes and poorly rendered fanart like shit flinging monkeys. I will admit that some decent artists put time into making content based on this game, but who really knows why. Good artists aren't always sensible

IRL Monster Kid's brother needs to buy his bro a fleshlight or something similar. Those can be used hands-free, and the poor guy hasn't cum in six fucking years.

Hes had night emissions and those are really amazing.

it's a bretty gud game

thank you mod for deleting other thread but no thank you for not removing bump lock

Now it's all my fault that this might become another spammed-to-shit meme op

I was actually enjoying that last thread at the end since it started turning decent. Still, reposting.


Undertale was a genuinely decent game that was carried by the charm that resonated with a lot of people. That same popularity had a negative effect on those who hadn't played the game before encountering its fans, which is very understandable but ultimately they should know better than acting as if the game is bad by association or that any cuckchan rumours about it are true. It became popular because it was easy to play and its charm resonated with a lot of people.

Toby hasn't said anything in this blogpost he hasn't said already, but I am glad he still holds these beliefs. The game was something personal to him and he wanted it to be valued on a personal level; that, atop of a wad of cash, meant he got what he wanted out of it.


This. It's also telling to me how aware Toby is of the game's faults - I always felt he was aware that, at its heart, it didn't hold up well in repeat playthroughs and was better left as a memory.

He also called this. Toby also made the right call in keeping his head down for the most part.


Good on him for accepting that. I hope his next game is unrelated to Undertale entirely just so its fans can enjoy the game a bit more peacefully.

I only played Undertale once, and that was for true pacifist. I thought it was full of heart, the battle system was fun and left room for creativity, and the soundtrack was good. The game was clever at how it got you in the mood for a joke, for some sad scenes, some horrifying scenes and some uplifting ones too. It did what it set out to do, but there was lots more room for improvement. The true ending feels rushed, and each fight is exciting at first but becomes dull on repeat events since you've learned how to spare a monster and have memorised their patterns. But unless you go for Genocide, then the game doesn't overstay its welcome. I have good memories of it because I didn't waste time on the fans or the haters and just enjoyed it for what it was.

Best battle is Mettaton EX > Omega Flowey >= Asgore = Sans.

Best chapter is Snowden but the best area is New Home.

Best character is Asgore but Flowey needed way more screentime.

Undertale > ASGORE > Megalovania >= Hopes & Dreams > rest of the OST in any order.

He really did. For a manipulative psychopath, you would have expected him to taunt you every step of the way, but no, you just hear about how much of a dick he is from other characters.

I had to re-add this, also


Toby was less self-absorbed and more "less Holla Forums"

Here's an archive of it.
archive.is/LO7jd

and here's an archive of this one
archive.is/ih6sl

Is this even worth archiving?

Let's brainstorm, guys. How do we fix Flowey?

What else can we do?

He's fine the way he is.
Undertale isn't a meta game you gay hipster retard. It would ruin the character if he showed up all the time going
"OOOH PLAYER,YOU'RE THE PLAYER, I'M STALKING YOOOOU"

...

I have an entirely valid point even if nobody's going to hear it.

This seriously reads like

You're seeing things or you're hypersensitive. You do understand that a lot of people hate the game just because of its fans, right?

I don't mean for him to be too meta or anything. TBH I think just the waterfall bit would have been perfect.

If you see anyone that claims to hate it get drilled by someone that has played the game. This is like, always the case.

He showed up twice in the demo
Once in the beginning and once in the ending
He never should have shown up anywhere else.
Unless you count the rooms in the demo where you can walk back in and see him duck into the ground.

WHICH GUESS WHAT FAG, ARE ALL OVER THE ACTUAL GAME, AND MAKES MORE SENSE FOR A CHARACTER STALKING YOU. TO TRY AND STAY HIDDEN

Alright, Toby, it's fine as it is. Take it easy, I'm not that worked up over it.

joezeng.github.io/fairdyne/
Can anyone here last a minute on the highest difficulty in this one?

flaws such as having shit gameplay that makes absolutely no attempt to not be shit

the pretentious story's the same except it does attempt to not be shit

sure is
