Toby Fox appears in the recent documentary “Earthbound, USA” credited as “Radiation”, his name during his early Earthbound hacking days.
This may be our most recent camera appearance of Toby after a long time! It’s really cool to see him in real life (Gonna need a bit more convincing that he’s real though..)

Toby Fox won the 2024 election, beating Trump and Obama. He did a face reveal, except he was much younger, had red glasses, and had a mullet. Toby afterwards did an on-stage Q&A but no one asked questions except for me so it was very awkward.

Today marks a sad day....
The school finally took down the interest board in the library made by the long gone older Tumblr-user students/volunteer librarians that had been standing proud since 2017.

I no longer get to start my day looking up into the awkward faces of Dan and Phil.
I no longer get to zone out into Sans Undertale's eye sockets whilst organising book displays.
I no longer get to move the world atlas to the side just a tad so that Freddy Fazbear and Charizard can be seen whilst doing my reshelving rounds.

"chuck tingle uninvited to book festival because of his mask and then reinvited because ugh i GUESS if it's an autism aid we'll allow it" is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. literally why did they give a shit in the first place, why would they want the author of books that famously have titles like "Pounded In The Butt By The Sentient Physical Manifestation Of My Slippery Slope Argument" to show up, but like, not act "too weird"
wtf did you THINK you were getting

youtube
A rather obscure clip of Toby Fox I found while browsing Youtube (Deltarune/Undertale content is DRY right now, okay..) Seems like a message addressed to "Polly" who actually commented on the video, stating "I remember receiving this vmail in 2005...... how time flies. Receiving this video was such an absolute joy, and I play it every christmas eve just to remind myself of the good times we used to have. I know he's moved on to bigger and better things now, but I will never forget the kindness and generosity he treated me with! Cheers."

My thoughts on Undertale and philosophy
This short thought barf has so many holes and ramblings and the concept in itself could probably be explained far better by the countless video essays that genuinely had hard work into them and I recommend them no questions asked but I need to gush and further procrastinate on my French or else my brain will eat itself and explode (I’m sorry Ms. L)
Undertale is a game based in Nihilism that wants you to think that it’s based in Existentialism, while simultaneously having elements of both. Oough okay here we go
The basic outline for Nihilism is that nothing matters and we’re all going to perish unceremoniously. In broader terms, everything and anything we do as human beings does not change anything, it doesn’t matter, we are bound to fate and there is no meaning to life - meaning is a social construct per se. 
Existentialism, however, was created in more optimistic direct opposition to Nihilism, saying that we make meaning. We are defined by our existence, in our actions, who we are, people must choose a direction and meaning in life. 
Undertale happens to juggle both of these with humor upon a polka-dotted unicycle with mirth in its eyes.
One of the coolest things about the Undertale is that its game mechanics are a very real part of the world. You die, you can reset, you can reset at any point whatsoever, whether you choose mercy or fight or both has a specified outcome, you have control. A few select characters know this, like Flowey and Sans, but they can’t really do anything to stop you if you’re determined enough because determination is in ALL human souls - the will to keep living and change fate. It is RIGHT THERE is the description, Existentialism, where we make meaning, where we are in control, where we can change fate because we are determined to make meaning. Everything matters because we think it does (which could also tie into trying to decipher the story and make sense of things where they are chaotic and unknowable, like the elusive W.D Gaster. That, and that’s what a lot of the games were striving for at the time - rewarding the player by making sense, for all the puzzle pieces to satisfyingly click together.)*
But no matter how you play the game, Genocide route or Neutral or Pacifist, no matter what you do, you always end up back in the underground. If Chara goes up to the surface and presumably murders everyone she sees or something along those lines, it all resets. If Flowey decimates you and does whatever he does, it all resets. If you die in a fight with a monster, if Asgore defeats you and uses your determination soul to break the surface barrier, if you do the morally correct thing and find a way to break the barrier so the monsters can be free from the underground’s confines, it all has to reset.
The Monsters cannot truly go back up to the surface, and neither can you. 
Everything you did, all that you accomplished to help them, to break the mold, or to betray them and slaughter them all (or just a select few,) as a whole, It did not matter. What’s more, you will likely reset, regardless of any ending. You may reset, again and again and again, perhaps to see what will happen because of human curiosity, mayhaps because its just a really good game, or perhaps to subconsciously get proper closure - but regardless of any of these, you always end up back in the underground. You cannot win, but isn’t that what games are for?
The only way to ‘win’ at this game is to never play it, really.
Undertale game mechanics are a very real part of the world built up around it and is a game that is self-aware in more ways than one - it knows what you do, it judges you for it, and it knows you cannot get out.
HOWEVER, like most things, there are two sides to that coin.
In all of this, you’re allowing yourself to have Determination - Hope. That’s what’s keeping you going as you claw and scrape your way through fights and levels of the story, what’s keeping you kind through the pacifist run (it takes a lot of effort to be kind sometimes, that’s not for nothing), that’s what’s keeping the Monsters going, the hope that they’ll see the surface again, that you can help, that again and again and again is hope. You are all in a perpetual state of hope.
Isn’t that an incredibly human thing to be?
Even better, that’s the games point. That we can come together, respect our differences and get along. Regardless of who we are, we are all bounded together by determination and hope. We can, and should care for each other, and learn and grow.
Heck, in the act of doing all this, we are making meaning, Cos’ we play games and everything feels alright for a bit.
“The human soul can be indomitable” Hell yeah it can.

the thing about fan theories is that the only way to do any of this without being silly is to base your theories (or more broadly interpretation because most theories are just... large scale interpretation) on the themes of a work.
