UNDERTALE mod idea

Everything is the same, but if you do the last X and O sideways...

The game will instantly kill you, and the game over screen will say this

and if you decide to keep doing it sideways, the game over screen will say

then the game will automatically close, and you can no longer play it.

its really weird liking magic the gathering but hating magic the gathering.

oh you wanna play a game with your friends? well they only play a super complicated version of it where you have a deck of 100 cards and you can only have 1 copy per card. good news is you can play with 3 of your friends and the in lore reason this is happening is because your decks are telling a story and you're all wizards in a tavern getting drunk and trying to tell a story but we're all getting into each other's antics and the story has blended together!

oh you want to make a deck for this super complicated game that has like 3 names and everyone assumes you mean something else when you don't call it the Right Name? well too bad! the deck you made is too weak and is useless! you die instantly and no one cares! good news is you can rebuild this deck one of a few ways! the first is leaning into A DIFFRENT PLAY STYLE than that deck, another is to lean into the story telling part and turn this card game into a role playing game!

oh whats that you want to try that whole role playing with a card game thing? TOO BAD! your deck is now MEGA over powered and no one wants to play with you! yeah even the people who one hit KOed your previous decks and told you its fair thing your deck is broken! why and how? oh just the one card that you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting. yeah everyone expects you to get that card in the first turn and ruin the game for them the same way the other people ruined the game- but its YOUR deck thats the problem! the good news is you can just remove that card- NOW YOUR DECK IS TOO WEAK! ITS AWFUL! no one wants to play with you because your deck is a easy win! just make a deck with a different playstyle.

oh you will? okay were theres 50+ play styles and they all suck unless you play a very specific way which will result in your deck being too strong and no one wants to play with you.

but hey the art and story are neat so what are you waiting for? go play with your friends!~

i don't like the growing opinion that people are being 'too hard' on deku for his failing to save shigaraki.

i've seen quite a few people complaining that a lot of the bnha-critical crowd are being too mean to deku for getting tomura killed, arguing that it isn't really his fault, and that hes a 16 year old child soldier who's been failed by almost every adult in his life, why should we be putting all of this on his shoulders? hes just a kid after all?

and the truth is, they're right. deku IS a 16 year old boy whos had the fate of the world thrust on his shoulders. but the story itself just plainly refuses to acknowledge this.

the narrative doesn't acknowledge how fucked up having a school that trains literal children how to be combo cop-celebrities is. it only tentatively acknowledges the fact that a universe having combo cop-celebrities is fucked up, and even then the only people who ever point this out are antagonists, who are portrayed and treated in-universe as untrustworthy. the narrative doesn't care how fucked up dekus circumstances are. the narrative treats deku like hes a fucking messiah here to touch the hearts of the evil depressed villains with his magical empathetic heart of gold before they get blown up or just sent to fucking superhell for daring to challenge the status quote.

deku isn't a person. he's barely even a fucking character at this point. he's a plot device, and a mouth piece for the objectively shitty themes bnha is trying to spout. the themes that tell you that if you're mistreated by society and want to do something about it, you're a villain. that disrupting the status quote and refusing to repent to some random teenage boy spouting empty platitudes at you means you deserve to get sent to fucking superhell. the themes that portray people fighting for civil change as mass murdering supervillains. the themes that look the audience dead in the eye and can call deku the greatest hero to ever live.

deku, who barely spared a second thought to lady nagant telling him the truth about the hero commission. who spouts meaningless platitudes about heroism and morality at nagant, and aoyama, and toga and shigaraki, when even the thought that he should question the world around him comes up. who's constantly talked about as this truly kind, empathetic person, but hasn't spared an empathetic thought to literally anyone who is classified as a villain. who listened to every authority figure around him except the ones who asked him to question his worldview. who saw la bravas tears, shigarakis various breakdowns, himikos plead for understanding, chisakis catatonic state, lady nagants truth, and barley batted a fucking eye. deku, who killed tomura shigaraki.

people don't criticize deku for failing shigaraki because they just hate deku. people criticize deku because of what he represents. because hes a mouthpiece for the atrocious morals and themes of this ideologically rotten manga. because any character he had was chopped up to bits in favor of the incomplete husk we have now. people criticize deku because hes the main character of my hero academia. theres nothing more damning then that.

Romantic breakups suck, but I think platonic breakups hurt just as bad. You lose a person you thought would be around forever. What’s worse is if neither of you did anything wrong. Circumstances just wouldn’t allow it anymore. You stand at the end of your journey together, side by side, and all you can say is “Thank you for everything. I hope the future treats you kindly.”

It’s crazy how many people just don’t understand why a lot of aro and or ace people don’t like that Alaster gets shipped. It’s not that hard to understand we don’t have a lot to let ourselves lose. I mean can you name 10 asexual characters? 5? Can you name two aro characters. There’s the guy from Archie who they made have a sex scene in a movie version. There’s a few books. I think a background character in Heartstopper? Do you see the theme here??? You’re all queer people, do you not get it? How it feels to have nothing? Is it so wrong to be upset that there’s finally an outwardly aroace person in popular media and instead of people embracing that they’re fighting on the internet about why it’s ok to ignore it? And I will never in my fucking life have anything against the people who are aro and or ace and portray him in THEIR experiences, even if it is a romance or sex favorable experience, but it is obvious that way too many of you guys are allo and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t even like him as a character that much, he isn’t even made by an aroace artist. The show isn’t even that fucking good, I just want to keep someone like me for once in my life. If there were a million other aroace characters I wouldn’t care, but it just hurts seeing erasure coming from my own community. It just sucks, man, I don’t know. It just sucks

always a lil perplexed when I hear people say they wanted Luo Binghe to get more character development or smth before he's allowed to be with Shen Qingqiu. Have you... considered... that neither Luo Binghe OR Shen Qingqiu want that??? Luo Binghe had to spend 5 years alone and tending to his corpse, then there was the mess at the holy mausoleum, and the nightmare that was maigu ridge, how much more waiting and "character development" does he have to endure to deserve his happy ending? How long does Shen Qingqiu have to wait? The goddawful story and forced system plots are over, the facilitators of character development are laid to rest and now the power of the narrative is in bingqiu's hands. I thought the thesis of bingqiu is that people don't have to learn and be made from suffering to deserve nice things? let bingqiu be happy and rest please!!

So like. Here's the thing: regardless of whether you like metric or how good you think it is, two things are important to remember:

ONE: The reason that metric is so common across the globe is in good part due to the powers of imperialism during the 19th century.

e.g. Algeria started using it in 1843 because they were under French control. The Phillippines started using it due to the Spanish colonial government. Commonwealth countries held out for a long time in part because the UK was sticking with imperial for so long.

Metric spread due to colonial powers.

TWO: China's base-ten measurement system predates metric, and the base length of that system held fairly steady for the Qing dynasty, probably just varying due to the size of the region in relation to contemporary technology. So while you could argue that metric took hold because it standardized the length of a meter before China standardized the length of a bù, it's still got the older system.

A lot of places had fairly standardized systems that relied on base-12, also, which is arguably more convenient than base-10.

Besides, why did we pick up on Mesopotamian time (second, hour, day) but not their length or volume? Why did we pick up Arabic numerals but not their mass or temperature?

Because European imperialism decided to use metric as a force for controlling their colonies.

Metric is a good system if you frequently have to translate amounts to a different scale, but goddamn, I can't just ignore the fact that imperialism was a driving factor for getting that system into places controlled by France and Spain in particular.
