@TomCafeConLeche @BLTZ2894 @ValToadstool That. Is his presence in undertale. He's there as a hint at what's to come (or what could have been, had undertale flopped.) The "voice in the intro" (talks to us all throughout the game but ok) directly quotes entry 17 and matches his speech patterns 1:1. What are we doing.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@TomCafeConLeche @BLTZ2894 @ValToadstool HE IS THE STORY!!! HIS PRESENCE IN UNDERTALE WAS FORESHADOWING FOR DELTARUNE!!! I understand where the trope of this fandom's illiteracy comes from.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@Reik3r @Protostar @_jrzs @KryDotExe @TwitchSupport @Twitch Yep.

What, did you think I was pro-capitalism? I just meant since we're working within the system in hopes to improve a singular service, you have to play by those rules. I doubt @Protostar here is keen to go bomb wall street or siege the white house just yet.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@digitalTodd @DmoTraz @MuItimach Bad game design is when they don't give everything to me NOW and I have to actually progress through the game instead of them just letting me skip to the end.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@TauCetiGG Did they not learn at all from the bad press that got bf6?????

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@Protostar @_jrzs @KryDotExe @TwitchSupport @Twitch Right, but the only way to convince a profit-driven corporation to improve a product is to stop using the product. If you're using the product, then they lose nothing, and gain nothing by listening to complaints, so why would they? That's how capitalism works, welcome.

@Protostar @_jrzs @KryDotExe @TwitchSupport @Twitch You don't have to participate in twitch that's a you choice????

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@regfunkid @epicawesomens64 @shellyous I can't blame anyone who does it. Because if Vintage Story is *for you* then you simply will not go back to MC, ever. From that perspective it's literally a linear upgrade. Still rude and obnoxious, but it's honestly a magic fuckin' game, people are gonna be obnoxious about it.

@fizzyfluxx We can't ban things we don't like just because we don't like them. That opens the gate for a lot worse. Soon, all queer media will be "indecent" and banned. This is a foot in the door.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@fizzyfluxx You believe controlling what kinds of pretend you can post on the internet is a good thing? You think banning certain topics in fiction is a GOOD THING? I'm not fan of this stuff, but you have to recognize how immediately dangerous that is to the basic concept of art.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave I saw that. In case you come back and check: The art style and boomer shooter gameplay are not what made marathon special. 50 games looked like that, hundreds played like that. You know what made it special? The world, the story, the ideas. Those remain. That is Marathon.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave I'm so confused if the entire plot and setting doesn't make it marathon, then are you affirming that it was only the visual style that mattered to you? Just nostalgia?

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave It's a game in a different genre following a parallel and somewhat distant plot to the plot of the mainline games. That's the definition of a spin-off, 30 years or no. Time can't make something a different kind of game than the game it is.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave No, I'm saying it's marathon for the dozen reasons in this massive thread full of reasons it's fucking Marathon. Durandal having a voice after 30 years is just a perk. You just seem butthurt that you don't like the genre.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave chose for it doesn't make it "less marathon."

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave Fakingly??? How. How is it fake. It's way more tangible than Prey 2017, which has literally 0 connections to the source material and was just a different game. This isn't meant to be a reboot or a reimagining, this is a SPIN. OFF. Just because you don't like the genre they-

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@dillonatm Marathon's visuals are so offputting because of how accurately they depict a corporately-driven future.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave Sorry for the long-ass thread, even if we disagree I hate to clog your notifications. Just VERY passionate about this franchise and hate this "it's not REALLY marathon" take going around.

[BLITZ_BAT_MIDARISES @BLITZ_BAT_]

@GWSilvertail @LogPowerslave it's abso-fucking-lutely Marathon. Wholly, entirely, Marathon. Durandal has a VOICE. BEN STARR. FUCKING BEN STARR IS DURANDAL. If the genre's not for you that's a shame, if the visual style doesn't click for you that's a shame, but this is canon, it is Marathon, and it's *good*.
