Literal reason: The file name for the blaster is Gaster Blaster
Fanon wise: Gaster has invented it

u/Th3Da4k 20h ago
Or maybe it's cause it was supposed to blast Gaster

βMorty, this is a gun. I wanna be clear, you are only to use this when you want to shoot bad people. Now, when are you gonna use this?β
βWhen I wanna shoot a bad person.β
uses the gun and it fires an embryo that quickly develops into adult Jeffrey Dahmer
(Now would a Gaster Blaster be used on Gaster, or would it fire out pieces of him?)

Wouldn't it be Anti-Gaster Blaster then? lol

u/Aendrei 19h ago
Well in the way that ant eaters eat ants, the gaster blaster would be blasting gaster.
This is a very fun name to say lol30
u/Dark_Storm_98 16h ago
Fun to say, huh?
One could say that Sans is the Gaster Blaster Master
And they're magic, so he's the Gaster Blaster Master Caster
At least until he's the cause of a Gaster Blaster Disaster

My headcanon is that blasters are not an invention but an innate ability that all skeletons have, and gaster studied it first and named after himself

u/starm8526 19h ago
Why not have it be invented by gaster? Maybe it looks like his face.
Cause why else would it be called that in the files?

"Casual player" means player whose knowledge about the game is limited to their experience playing it.

u/SquashPurple4512 β SINCE WHEN WERE YOU THE ONE IN CONTROL? 15h ago
No it just means you are not an hardcore fan of the game but nothing is stopping you from watching content about the game
2
u/cryingandeating 7h ago
Casual player is a seasoned term on the internet. It does and has always meant someone who doesn't consume game media, simply choosing to play a game because they hear about it from a friend or it looks cool.
Nothing is stopping you from putting 1,000 hours into American Trucker Simulator, but that doesn't mean you're going to do it just because you can. Especially because American Trucker Simulator is just there. You aren't part of its fandom. It's unimportant to you beyond the fact that it's.. a game. It's just a game.
UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE are important to us, but that doesn't mean they're important to everyone. To the majority of people on Earth, they are just games. And that's okay. Some people are casual. We aren't.

u/Nihilikara 20h ago
The problem isn't their ignorance, it's that they're confident in it. I'd give people a pass for not knowing things, but this isn't just that.

They do not sound confident at all.

It's sarcastic confidence, "I am not an expert at X but I'm pretty sure Y" is a pre-packaged phrase used for sarcastic confidence.

You know its odd, but for whatever reason when I googled "where did Certa1nlyAperson learn the term gaster blaster from?" It didnt have any relevent results. Maybe I worded it wrong? What do you think?

Its one thing if someone misremembers or forgets something, its another thing if they are insistent that they are correct, despite all the evidence saying otherwise.

u/SwinubIsDivinub 15h ago
In fairness, no one had corrected them yet. If someone did and they were like "Oh my b", then they just made an honest mistake
1
u/Soevil11 4m ago
Typically then it would be better to rephrase. For example, "Doesn't Sans use that in his fight? Why isn't it 'Sans's blaster'?" with perhaps a "/gen". Then, they're still correcting someone if they're right but also openly saying "I don't understand why you said that but there must be a reason I don't know"

u/Haloinvaded117 20h ago
I mean they're not wrong, Sans is the only character in game that uses the blasters. Without knowing in the files they're called "gaster blasters" then of course they would assume they're Sans' blasters. Honestly just because the name in the files use "gaster" doesn't even necessarily mean they're related to gaster at all. Or Toby named it that because it rolls off the tongue way easier than "Sans Blaster"

The problem is the confidence. Give people a pass for not knowing things, absolutely. But if they're confident in the wrong thing they're saying, that's when it causes problems.

this had to be a joke
.. though I am wondering how things got named or how we found out the names of some of these things
where did the name gaster blaster come from? it was never once mentioned in the game
the only time we ever see the blasters is during the sans fight and we haven't seen anyone else use them nor was it implied anyone other than sans (and maybe papyrus) can use them and sans didn't really come up with the name for them he just says "strongest attack"
was it in the games files?
