undertale, session 2
I finished episode 2 of Life Is Strange today, which was...... really fucking heavy. and this is one of those games where I thought ~choices matter~, and the climactic event of this episode was the only thing I actually got spoiled on, so I basically did everything I could all episode to prevent it (because it is preventable). so I'm... discouraged, a bit. I don't think I have it in me to redo the entire episode, but I'll come back to the game at some point.
anyway. onto Undertale.
so apparently I'm not actually supposed to kill anyone during my first playthrough, and I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. I delved into my save files a bit and was able to get a 100% clean restart, so I managed to not viciously murder Toriel this time around.
her speech after you convince her to let you go actually made me cry. [SPOILER!!!! o.o]watching Kate Marsh jump off a building after I did everything to convince her not to in LIS did not make me cry. a motherly anthropomorphic cow(?) trying to convince me to live with her made me cry. maybe I'm a callous asshole. maybe Undertale is just spectacularly written.
the only thing that disappoints me is that I didn't get to try the colored-tile puzzle game that Papyrus accidentally shorted out. THAT LOOKED LIKE LOTS OF FUN.
THIS GAME IS LOTS OF FUN.
part of me still wishes I could kill things though. like Flowey. that stupid motherfucker is still following me around. DON'T THINK I DON'T SEE YOU, ASSHOLE.
(apparently if you do a true pacifist run your first time through you can go back and do genocide and kill everyone? EXCEPT BY THAT TIME I WILL PROBABLY LOVE EVERYONE TOO MUCH TO KILL THEM.)
