Thinking about how this one line in Deltarune is to me the quintessential Toby Fox flavour text joke
Watching Netrunner
Deltarune chapter 3+4 playthrough screenshot favourites
Like, putting aside scenes and environments in the 2025 chapters… an interior like this is already heavily "letterboxed", and making it 16:9, so that you end up seeing all of both rooms instead of one, would be painful. The rooms would have to become caverns to make up for it.
Playing Deltarune and looking at it makes me think "Thank god this is still in 4:3"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bniNdxkx77k – Listened to this because a wiki page for ENA Dream BBQ said that one particularly memorable track from the game was a heavy stylistic takeoff of it… I like that track, and honestly this whole album feels like ten longer versions of it, so I'm happy ^_^
It's really amusing that the Mario Kart World soundtrack is the Kirby And The Rainbow Curse soundtrack of the Mario series, complete with most of the deep-cut retro remixes being surf rock.
Well, that's chapter 1 and 2 revisited. Now to head to bed to make sure I'm nice and well rested in 10 minutes from now
Most memorable is the scene where the tyrannical King finishes a handsome self-portrait, and then that ideal version of himself steps out of the painting, throws him to his demise, and then just is the King from then on. The mortal man replaced by his own propaganda.
Having watched the 'inferior' dub, I will say the film itself does live up to the praise… despite being ostensibly a Hans Christian Anderson adaptation, the worldbuilding is quite good, with visual motifs and themes that connect it to expressionistic art and film of the 30s.
(Reader, it is in a non-digitised archive and not "lost media")
Read an article about how the "unfinished" 1952 version of the animation La Bergère et le Ramoneur was a huge influence on Hayao Miyazaki, and also that the English dub doesn't have all the scenes, so I searched for the French original, and the first result was /r/lostmedia
I know a lot of people look down on chapter 1 as being slow and hokey compared to all the later chapters, but playing it back, a lot of things still make me smile and remind me how excited I was when I played it in 2018.
(Most of those things are in the Light World, though…)
REALISING I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRASH THE SAVEFILE I HAD LINED UP FOR THE NEW CHAPTER AND START OVER BECAUSE I DIDN'T NAME ONION THIS
This game has a Sadie Hawkins Day joke? …I mean, I probably already knew that, at some point, but still, this is such a lowkey huge geographic-generational thumbtack to pin this game's world with.
I'm going to replay Deltarune in preparation for the big day, and every time a line of dialogue that I don't remember appears, I'm going to post it in this thread
