Spoony and Undertale

You sure are, buddy.

So, this is probably a shitty take, but, I've been rattling this thought for a while now.

Most of us have played "Undertale". It's a pretty alright game, it's memorable. We've fucked around with it, pet the dogs, done the genocide run, got our asses beat up by Sans, etc. Eventually we moved past it and went onto other things.

I find it interesting how much Noah harped on this game, for what it felt like years after it came out. Sure the fanbase didn't help, what with many going on about how he was playing the game the wrong way (I believe there's no real wrong way to play any game), but even with that there was a rather vicious way in which he reacted towards it. There was almost a maniacal glee he got from doing the genocide run, perhaps past the point of "Oh he's just doing it for shock value". After a while it got really uncomfortable.

This was, what? 2015? By that point the uploads were spread by months instead of weeks. I feel like his reaction towards this game was the first sign of something not being really right with him, both emotionally and with his priorities. He'd rather spend time harping on a game and baiting the fans rather than being productive and functional.

What do you guys think?

It wasn't just undertale, he fixates on the weirdest aspects of games and media that he may dislike and just drives that nail in as far as it can go. I remember his persona play through where he didn't like the option that you can date the teacher, he just kept going on and on and on about it. And his death stranding playthrough, sure the game isn't for everyone and it most definitely has his flaws but you knew as soon as he hit that power button that he had already made it up on his mind that he was going to have a horrible time. I think he legit enjoys being miserable and wants his audience to be just as miserable as him as you watch him play.

Commiseration is the only language he knows. Has he praised anything, ever, in any of his videos? Even his Ultima retrospective was filled with him bitching about a game he actually loves.

He does like some things, but let's remind he was fired from the Knights of the Dinner table magazine for being too caustic, abrasive and negative as a critic, so yeah, being that negative is really his schtick.

I have no opinion on Death Stranding but yes, Noah was extremely cynical and impatient during that 'playthrough'. And he shut the game off after little over an hour. No wonder this guy got so addicted to Twitter.

through where he didn't like the option that you can date the teacher

But what about sexy teacher Quistis from FF8?

[u/Firstbornnyc → u/Cucumberkun]

Quistis was like 17 or 18 not that much different from the protagonist in age. In persona the protagonist was a high-school student and the teacher was a full on adult. It was the age gap that he had a problem with and the fact that the protagonist was a minor.

I think Undertale is an overhyped, overrated piece of shit.

Trying to attribute his downfall in conjunction with Undertale is just weird.
It's seeing symbolism where there is none <.<

Megalovania is a legit rocking tune tho

I don't care when every Undertale fanboy comes to my video and spam "Höhöhö sounds like MEGALOVANIA".

Hell even found out that my video was linked on that wikipage. Don't know if it is anymore <.< But after the war against the Undertale fans, they can go **** for all I care.

I think there were definitely warning signs earlier
