Undertale [Pacifist Run]

Taking a brief hiatus from Pokemon movies to do this write up because..

 I finally played Undertale. Wow...just wow.

Back when I did my Earthbound and Mother 3 write ups, I mentioned that one of the reasons that I loved those games was that during the endings, you cannot win by force but through nonviolence - prayer or reminding your brother of his true self. This was an idea that I did not now could exist in games and it made me love those games more than I have ever loved other games. So then this game comes out and upon hearing about the “Pacifist” option of gameplay, I knew I had to play it. Naturally, I got it for Christmas and I started playing, I went with the Pacifist play through.

And that might have been a mistake.

There’s something to be said about the amount of empathy that can be fostered through interactive storytelling and this game made me feel that on a level that I haven’t felt since Pokemon. Pokemon has such an enduring popularity, in part, because these made up monsters, pixels in a screen, begin to feel like partners - like friends. And that’s something Undertale is able to invoke as well. I can’t speak for the No Mercy run, but in the Pacifist run, you get to know all the bosses, get to know the workings of their inner lives - their dreams, their insecurities, their crushes, their mistakes…And through this fantastic writing and characterization, you care.

And that’s why I think I messed up.

It’s a game. I know it’s a game. A character reminds me that it’s a game. And yet, if I’m being honest with myself, I can’t bring myself to restart it. I don’t want to do the No Mercy run because I’m just too damned attached to these characters and I don’t want to want to play a run where I’d have to watch them all die. (Especially Papyrus.)

I cannot recommend this game enough. I also cannot play this game for a long time and probably will never be able to play No Mercy run. Even though it’s pretend, I want my friends to be happy.

HE DID IT!!! FINALLY GOT PENELOPE ACROSS ON THE CAN! You can't imagine how thrilled he is. Now for the victory oatmeal and GoT.

So I asked a friend of mine to help me out with Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue. You know, the second balancing mini game with Penelope on the can. He can't do it either. What even is this game.

I swear I’ll never get Penelope to ride the can across the puddle.

Just started playing Hamtaro: Rainbow Rescue. Looks like finding hamster slang is not going to be part of this game.
