i don't remember when exactly i got into undertale -- i'm fairly certain it was before deltarune chapter 1 released. i actually haven't played undertale itself, but i have played the first two chapters of deltarune. lots of cool stuff from both the games themselves and the fandom surrounding the games! i'm not that active anymore when it comes to this fandom (mostly been focusing on kirby for the past while, trying to contribute a lot to c/kirby in a way that i'm sadly much less equipped to do with this community), but toby's stuff has been a pretty not-insignificant part of my life

he released a new installment of the newsletter, too!
There was an interesting guy called "Beat Mario". His young kid was there running around yelling stuff like "I wanna go home!" "I wanna go home!" Soon after meeting him for the first time, Beat Mario picked up his kid and pushed them into me, trying to get me to hold them, but I just sort of backed up repeatedly. His wife asked me if I was afraid of children, and I accidentally agreed because I misunderstood her Japanese and thought she asked if I was bad at holding kids. Then she picked up the child and started spinning them around and making them do flips and said "it's easy, once they aren't babies you can basically do whatever you want as long as you don't drop them." It was cool, it was essentially like a free circus performance. "Sorry, I know you're afraid of children..." Wait, I'm not! But it was too late to correct myself, so they probably still think that.

also what's up with the lost girl leitmotif in that sneaking song
now i'm imagining toriel/asriel throwing pizzas at kris, noelle, and ralsei
and susie just catches them in her mouth and eats them all
lol imagine eating buttercups
this post was made by the moss eater gang 😎
[image: high-resolution drawings of ralsei's various chapter 2 sprites, with the original sprite accompanying each drawing. also, there's butler ralsei, hand behind head, saying: "U-umm, you don't have to scream... Just because you like my outfit!". drawings include ralsei standing, eating cotton candy, adopting that one dialogue portrait face with the big eyes and angry eyebrows and closed cat smile mouth that i don't know how to label (his hands are balled up in fists in the drawing), falling, waving goodbye, doing that one balanced-on-one-foot pose from when the delta warriors first meet up in cyber field, flattened, and bowing as a butler (the original sprite wasn't bowing).]

!kirby@lemmy.world is doing pretty ok right now in terms of activity, so lemmy ralseipost here instead.
oh also there's a discussion question post i found on lemm.ee from 24 days ago. it didn't federate over, so i did the search thing and brought it over to lemmy.world.
oh, this didn't get federated over to the main lemmy.world version of the community! :(
i'm 24 days late, but the thread is at the top of active for lemmy.world/c/undertale_deltarune now because i brought it over, so:
hopes and dreams, save the world, and undertale are all incredibly strong contenders for me. the use of leitmotifs! the key changes in hopes and dreams and undertale! the feeling of warmth and hope when once upon a time section C plays for the first time in save the world (ironically not hopes and dreams)! and of course, the emotion they all bring in context! toby fox absolutely nailed the music for the keyest moments in the game.
oh, and also shout out to a song that's genuinely pretty nice to listen to: can you really call this a hotel, i didn't receive a mint on my pillow or anything
the fediverse has done a great job replacing reddit for my scrolling-though-random-stuff needs! as for more niche stuff, it's still not there yet (as has been pointed out many, many times already), but i'm trying to help! i'm posting and commenting regularly on !kirby@lemmy.world. "be the change you want to see" and all that. i encourage everyone else to do the same with their niche communities!
edit: though at this point i have 4 accounts across different instances (here, lemmy.world, kbin.social, feddit.online), thanks to various things. so it's not entirely smooth sailing for me right now
