i'm guess they're talking about this?

i mean sure if creating a parody of something counts as an insult? >_>

I think he's most likely mistaken. From what I understand Toby's a pretty big fan of ZUN, to the point of gushing when someone rearranged one of his songs as a more properly ZUN-styled song. I don't want to consider the possibility of someone or even your friend himself trying to slander Toby, but you know how the internet is nowadays.

Yeah he's probably mistaken, or misheard. He's not the guy to make up slander about someone. He is really defendant about touhou, and doesn't like it when people attack ZUN or its fans.

i'm guess they're talking about this?

He may be talking about that? But it sounded like he meant he directly said something. I don't know. I just want to clear up what he is saying is all. He may have been completely mistaken?

I see, in any case I hope he really is just misunderstood.

Anyway, have some feels.

That was a silly parody. The fact that he can play in ZUN's musical style so well tells me either he's just that talented of a musician, or he respects ZUN enough to make a silly song picking on some of the common themes and botched English in Touhou. Either way, you wouldn't know ZUN's style that well unless you've heard a lot of his music and played the games, which indicates that he probably is a pretty big fan. Honestly it seems like Undertale is kind of a heartfelt blend of Mother and Homestuck, both of which Toby is fond of (and composed music for, in context of his Earthbound hack and homestuck music), and I wouldn't at all be surprised if the bullet hell styled minigames in the battles were inspired by Touhou.

I seriously see nothing to be offended by here.

It's been something like four years since I was willing to put effort into writing fanfic stuff, since I started working.

Now I'm working on one for Undertale because the Touhou/Mother combination is basically heaven for me.

Hell, my internet life basically started at starmen.net, where the Undertale forums are.

Heaven or hell, fuckers. Mostly hell, because I'm heading there fast at this rate.

Also, would anyone watch someone this stream this game? Because I'm thinking about delving into it at the start of the Halloween week... still pondering about it...

Too late, I've already started. And the Fanzine deadline is November 30th... for under 1100 words. I'll probably take it a little easier than that.

As for streaming, I've been making it a habit to jump in on anyone I see playing on Steam when I don't have anything more pressing to watch. Reactions to this are fun~

I think the very first verse is the hardest. All the others are short enough and between healing portions that it's hard to die without trying.

The funny thing is,
Spoiler:
when it came to the two final bosses I did beat, they were actually somewhat easier - or at least had me restarting less - than the other main bosses of the game, namely Undyne, Mettaton, and Asgore, which had me restarting their battles a few times over, even when I knew their gimmicks. I cleared neutral run Flowey with no deaths no problem, and I may have "died" twice during Asriel's fight.

Doesn't stop the former from being a tad bit nightmare-inducing, does it?

Real talk,
Spoiler:
Neutral End is actually my favorite ending from the game. Flowey is such a good boss, the aftermath is short and sweet, lots of things are left open but in a good way... really strong, y'know? Pacifist is sickeningly sweet, which is what it was going for I guess, but it's only really good the first time you see it. And No Mercy is... well... not really an ending like the first two. It's good, but that's it?

This is the exact same for me, too.
Spoiler:
I had to continue about 4-5 times on Undyne, not sure why. Asgore I only continued once on because I had no healing items at the time, Mettaton wasn't TOO MUCH of a problem for me, and well, that's pretty much it.

Omega Flowey
was designed to be easy, but impress a sense of impossible challenge.
Spoiler:
The less HP you have, the less damage Flowey does, and the more the green items heal you. i only died once on Flowey because I didn't know what to expect from him.

Because I am a gigantic idiot, I've set up an IRC channel for Undertale on the forum's IRC server (irc.ppirc.net): Head to #YoukaiHome for some discussion on there!

I'm not sure if I'll try to keep it as a low-spoiler environment or not (despite the current channel topic), so be warned if you're trying to avoid things??

If there's any strong preference for how much to enforce low-spoiler policies or if it'd be better as no-holds-barred, I'm willing to adjust if needed.

I honestly think it'd be preferable to have minimal to no spoilers in a live chat environment, since people who like the game enough to be there probably have at least played through one route. The thread is fine as a spoilered environment but it does make discussion a little difficult-- but it's necessary for just-passers-by who haven't discovered Undertale yet and don't want to be spoiled.

Just how I see it at any rate.

Eh, I'm curious, what's there to chat about? The best I can imagine is occasional tumblr fanart, which you can get from the subreddit anyways.
