2:07:35 Oh god, that made me tear up a little bit actually. Congratulations on beating undertale yellow! The pacifist ending is the ultimate culmination of this whole journey. Having a bittersweet end, having hope that one day, Monsters can be free… A common fan theory that became much more popular after the release of this fangame is that at the end of undertale True pacifist, due to the coffins of the 6 children being empty Asriel actually revives all of them and brings them back with their souls. So there’s that. Regarding Flowey… Flowey has a much more significant role in a neutral ending. It’s kind of Phenomenal what happens in it and I’d encourage you to at least check it out. It really delves into how Flowey feels about his and Clovers relationship, as well as important revaluations regarding his actual role. If you won’t do neutral, I greatly urge you to watch a neutral ending. Not a play through, simply the ending final boss, as I consider it a good topic of information. Whether you do it or not though, this was a very enjoyable playthrough!
...What you said about people simplifying unjust actions as binary good and evil, and believing all "evil" should be punished, was extremely powerful. And I believe this game focuses on similar subjects in the more... Punishing, routes. I know you're likely averse to those brutal paths, but I believe you will find interest in this matter, though I have not seen the entire end myself. Great minds think alike. And by the by, this game actually does something that Undertale does not: It makes all three routes reveal important story points the others do not. Even if you don't go full guns blazing, I believe that you should at least give the Neutral run a shot. Either way, what a show! It's incredible what Toby Fox fans can make, full on games in their own right! _Good game!_
PS!Outertale is another fangame that’s been completed recently which you might enjoy. It’s really fleshed out and imo it’s the best fangame that’s out right now.(I know thats subjective, but I just really liked Outertale)
What an absolute love letter to Undertale 💛 I've been binge watching all of your Undertale/deltarune streams. Love what you have to say about the games and their message. Crazy to think how many people's lives they've changed. I also struggle with identity crisis rn (as you do when you're a teen). And I'm trying to do my best to love myself, and your story inspires me to continue going. Truely happy that I found your channel. Thank you for everything you do :)
Once again, I really appreciated your tangent about the myth of good and bad being binary, and also the differences between revenge and justice. I’ve talked to my therapist about my friend’s suicide, and he told me that “a huge factor in why people commit suicide is because they feel like their lives are over from one mistake”. It’s because society has been so grounded in the idea that bad people cannot change, that those who go down that path also adopt that same mindset.
Hi Lauren, Glad you enjoyed Undertale Yellow! This is such a great game. On a very unrelated note, just because I'm about to finish reading it for the first time myself, I want to join everyone who recommended you reading Homestuck xd I just can't shake the feeling that you'll love it lol. If you streamed reading it it would be really really awesome too, like I mean REALLY awesome, but homestuck is pretty long so it's understandable if you can't stream the whole thing. Either way I'd recommend you to not miss this silly comic, I think it'll really be your cup of tea. Anyway. Congrats on beating the game!
2:58:23 - 2:58:42 Hi! Huge Everhood enjoyer here, I saw a bit of discourse in chat and would like to give some spoiler-free two cents. While I can attest to the fact that it is definitely not a horror game, nor do I think it at any point necessarily gets into horror elements, I have a very strong impression it would not be a for Lorenz game either. Everhood, while genereally neutral-to-light in tone, makes a hard left turn into some philosophically heavy subject matter at exactly the halfway mark. The primary conflict of the game, once revealed, is painted deeply in allegory, but it isn't particularly hard to read between the lines or draw comparisons from the themes presented to the real world. I do not think the handling of these themes or messages would resonate positively with you based on what you've shown to value on-stream. This combined with elements of the gameplay being potential roadblocks _(although you have expressed interest in rhythm games and there are ample difficulty customizations you can access at any point)_ lead me to think you would probably not have a good time with Everhood if you were to play it. Bear in mind again that this is coming from someone who actually does like the game quite a bit, in spite of having my own strong feelings about it critically, both positive and negative. Obviously I can't forsee how you'd take it, nor do I feel qualified to pass any outright or absolute judgements, I just hope what insight I might have to offer could be useful if you need it.
Many people when Phase 4 hits: HELL YEAH HOPES AND DREAMS MIXED WITH THE MAIN THEME LETS GO Me when Phase 4 hits: HELL YEAH THE YELLOW SOUL MOTIF FROM THE OMEGA FLOWEY FIGHT MIXED WITH THE KETSUKANE THEME LETS GO
I don't think I ever made a connection between parts of that fight and parts of the theme, but if that's the level of detail they followed here ... well, that checks out, they've been very intentional and careful about tying this game to the original all the way through :)
If you are looking for another interesting undertale fangame, i recommend TS!UNDERSWAP, it's not finished yet, but it still has a lot of stuff despite that. The characters and the writing are very on point too!
I don't know what it says about me, but I misread that as "Tsundereswap" and was like "hmm, the fandom has evolved since the last time I saw anything about Swap" :) Is it based around the Underswap version of characters? If so, the only ones I am really familiar with are the skelebros...
@@LaurentheFlute Oh my god, i literally also called it "tsundereswap" as a joke, and now my brain is trained to say "tsundereswap" whenever this fangame is mentioned. The "TS!" at the beginning stands for "Team Switched" (the people who made the fangame.) And TS!Underswap is a very diffrent take on the idea of Underswap, since the characters keep ther original personalities, only the roles change. Sans still acts like Sans, Paps acts like paps, and so on. There is also a bunch of original characters that have major roles and in my opinion, feel very much like they would fit in the undertale's world and style of writing. Currently, only the first two areas have been finished, but it already has a large amount of content, even if you choose to do just the pacifist route (although the geno route has some very interesting concepts in it too, so i also recommend you watch a playthrough at least, but if you don't wanna, that's fine). The difficulty isn't also too hard or "hardcore bullet hell" levels, there's also an easy mode option too. You mentioned Deltatraveler, so i will just say: Deltatraveler is WAY more difficult and gameplay heavy than UT Yellow and Tsundereswap. It can be a good practice if you want to get better at bullet hell. srry for making a 1000 word essay
@@LaurentheFlute Without describing any specifics, I can't think of anything more perfectly suited to you and your style than TS!Underswap. You don't need to be familiar with the original Underswap concept -- this one is quite different and doesn't require any fandom knowledge to understand. And while it's not yet finished, it's functionally closer to Deltarune where each section functions as a "chapter" of a larger story, so playing it now shouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, I don't really like platformers! I played Celeste because it has a really great story and characters, but that's the only thing that will get me to give a platformer a chance (other than the 3D Mario games, for some reason I really love those so I might play Odyssey one of these days).
