Deltarune Chapter 1 (2018)
I find it a little funny that frictionless "ice-block-pushing puzzles" are now sufficiently normalised as a standard videogame puzzle that they appear in two Deltarune chapters and one ENA Dream BBQ chapter and none of them actually use ice
Thinking about how the fundamental motivation for nearly all Deltarune darkners is "to be useful to lightners" – which even extends, tragically, to Ralsei – and that Rouxls Kaard's motivation is a perversion of that ideal, twisted into "to be useful to the strongest darkners".
I took this Deltarune screenshot because I thought it might part of yet another brain-noogieing puzzle, but as soon as I did, I realised that if I was making this, I would have added a crease in the ground that makes the whole picture look like buttcheeks.
Tricking out my room with a Dark Fountain from Deltarune, a Smoke Machine from ENA Dream BBQ, the Mani-Mani Statue from EarthBound and the planetarium projector from Revolutionary Girl Utena to see if I can stack four surrealist fantasy worlds at once
OK, listen, I'm going to stick my neck out here and let loose with my own Deltarune theory. Rolling up my sleeves and putting my dignity on the line. Everyone get ready. Here it comes.
Chapter 3 is named "Late Night" because the knight is late
Just spent six hours doing nothing but reading Deltarune theorycrafting forum posts. This thread still has 39 more pages left.
Thinking about how this one line in Deltarune is to me the quintessential Toby Fox flavour text joke

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"
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
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
Soon… this tweet will become real… https://x.com/OpraZebb/status/1442611018220417027
*game music playlist randomly hits Rouxls Kaard's theme from chapter 2 of 'Rune* Wow……… I completely forgot how much this track sucks.

What does it say about me as a person that my two favourite Deltarune songs are the game over theme and the theme on Deltarune Dot Com's 404 page
If Noelle from Deltarune played B3313 she wouldn't find any jumpscares but she WOULD go into that one snow painting and get randomly sent to the empty dark "particle test" level (with the blizzard effect that's unused in actual SM64) and then never be able to go back to it later.
Rouxls Lalonde. Is this anything
Rouxls Kaard losing his piss because Lancer is the only one who won't acknowledge Beatrice as the Golden Witch of Rokkenjima and it's blowing his chances of becoming her head murder-puzzle designer (all his ideas involve pushing crates and don't actually contain killing)

Deltarune NPC that constantly reflows their dialog box when an appearing word is too long to fit on the top line, instead of starting the word on the next line like everyone else – and, when asked to stop, responds by using increasingly longer words to make it more noticeable.
Undertale and Deltarune are games where you battle opponents by manipulating a small object in a box surrounded by other small objects, and it's deliberately extremely unclear how it diegetically relates to the characters attacking each other. Therefore, they are action puzzle ga
Asgore from Deltarune, comforting me after choking my latest Petal Crash Grandmaster 1CC attempt: "Just think of it like… failing your driving test. No one, and I mean NO ONE, passes the first time. Why, on MY first time, I nearly ran over six chi– uh, but the important thing is
