This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game's fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

idk is it really an in-joke to imply Deltarune fans are gay?

Hmm, would have thought the reputation preceded the community a bit more. All the more reason for people to play Deltarune, out now on Steam.

Shouldn't one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?

Spiritual successor/sequel, kinda, AFAIK. You would definitely get a lot more out of it if you played Undertale first. But, if the first two chapters are anything to go by, all of the things originally from Undertale have been totally repurposed. For instance, quite a few NPCs from Undertale show up with the same characterization but no memory of the world and events in Undertale.

Though, knowing Toby Fox, there's either a huge twist or something super meta tying the worlds together at the end. I should note I haven't finished it yet.

Sounds like it'll be worth playing the first, then. I'll do that! Thanks for the info.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

No problem, friend! I hope you enjoy yourself!

Due to being made by such a small team (Toby Fox made most of the game himself, to my knowledge), Undertale has a really unique creative vision. It's definitely Earthbound-inspired, but there's nothing like the music, art, and humor of Undertale. It's a game for the ages for sure.
