Can you imagine a world where we're all represented by a font? Huh, I wonder which one I would be? sees Arial Too straight. No! Not in that way! Just, straight, as in unexciting. sees Badaboom Too.. uh... Deadpool.... BROADWAY! Now that's the one! Now THAT'S the one! Hello Internet, welcome to GAME THEORY, where instead of putting a joke here I want to ask you a question. If your personality were represented by a font, what font would you be? Take a moment and put your font in the comments. I'm really curious to see what everyone has to say. Maybe find a couple new cool fonts to use. I'm getting bored with ol' Calibri 11. And with that out of the way, it's time to talk UNDERTALE. Now I don't think I've ever gotten this many requests to cover a game. Well, except for FNAF. And I suppose FNAF 2. OH and there was FNAF 3. Wait a minute, should I be worried about something here? Anyway, across the board on YouTube, Reddit, and Twitter, you all have wanted Undertale. And honestly, I'm glad you brought it to my attention. True loyal theorists will know that Earthbound is my favorite game of all time. So a self aware RPG in a similar style, WHOA MAN, it's like a gift from the indie gaming heavens. Undertale is a game where every character, from goat mom to grind fodder has a sympathetic design and a unique personality, motivations, goals, fears. Whether you're saving or slaughtering them, the game makes you feel something every time you enter an encounter. But to me, one character stood out amongst all the rest. SANS. A skeleton named after the font, Comic Sans, hence all the font references at the beginning of the episode. If you haven't played Undertale I'm sure that was a really weird opening. ANYWAYS, Sans is, well, there's a lot of mystery around this guy. And before we get into it, let me put up a very special spoiler warning: UNDERTALE is a game best experienced blind. So if you haven't played it, pause the video and come back after you've finished. I PROMISE YOU, I PROMISE you won't regret it. Alright, so everyone out of the pool and ready for the adult swim? Good. Because I'm feeling pretty determined to get to the bottom of Sans' mystery. So just to recap for those of you who haven't played the game and ignored the SPOILER WARNING, or just need a refresher, Sans is one of the two skeletal brothers who appears in the game. His partner is Papyrus, a loud, goofy trap lover also named after a font. But in the world of Undertale their origins are a big question mark. All you really know is what's given to us by a shopkeeper in Snowdin, who explains that Sans and Papyrus, quote, “just showed up one day and asserted themselves.” Weird, right? What's more is that, well, Papyrus is just kinda the goofy sidekick. Sans is much more complex. He likes fart jokes, but he's also incredibly powerful and deadly serious. Not only is his boss battle the hardest in the game, he's one of the only characters who has knowledge and power over space and time. He can take shortcuts around the world through ridiculous routes. Even is walking through walls. He also acknowledges that he's only one of infinite versions of himself, making self-aware commentary of the various timelines that you've played through in the game. He can even count the number of times he's killed you. He acts like an arbiter of this world, passing out judgements on the player's actions in the game, even explaining the secrets of EXP and LOVE, or EXECUTION POINTS and LEVELS OF VIOLENCE, just to clarify. In short, he just doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the world of monsters. But then, what, or who, is he? Well, the idea that he doesn't belong in underworld seems to be correct. The evidence seems to point the fact that he WAS, in fact, formerly a surface dweller. In the true pacifist ending of the game, as the group looks out onto the horizon, Papyrus asks Sans about the giant ball in the sky. Sans says, quote, “we call that the sun.” This is important because A, the usage of the word WE, and knowledge of the sun shows that Sans has a kinship or knowledge with other humans, and B, that despite he and Papyrus both being skeletons, or, supposedly, brothers, and apparently appeared in underworld at the same time, they clearly-- uuuGGHH take two CLEARLY have two very different histories. Why would Papyrus not know the name of the sun but Sans would? We get further clues to Sans' origins as we hear him say multiple times he wants to "go home" or "go back." He says as much during his dinner date scene at the Mettaton hotel. He notices that the player wants to go home and says, quote, "i know the feeling." He then continues, "maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you." As though he ended up in the underworld by accident. AND in a genocide run during his boss fight he says, quote, "look, i gave up trying to go back a long time ago." End quote. And before you say he means going back to the surface world, that's clearly not the full story. His very next line of dialogue is, "and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore either." Key word here, is EITHER. Yes, he seems to hail from the surface and wants to go back, but based on his dialogue he no longer considers it his home. It's as though the surface world he once knew is gone, as though he's from a different time. It's pretty intriguing. So we're left with a being that appeared out of nowhere, presumably from being from the human surface, but from a different time period, who seemingly has the power to teleport. That's a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. But here's where things get REALLY interesting. Sans has a hidden workshop that takes a fair amount of searching to find. You could say it takes a lot of DETERMINATION to unlock. Anyways, obligatory determination references aside, as you start to look for this easter egg Sans gives you a key to his room and says "it's time you learn the truth." After some searching you find the workshop which contains items that leave even more questions. A photo album featuring Sans and a bunch of smiling people you don't recognize, a badge, blueprints with illegible handwriting, and a broken machine hidden behind a curtain. In the latest update, one more detail was added. A handdrawn picture of 3 smiling faces with the words “don't forget.” so what does it all mean? Well a lot of Undertale theorists have been linking these details to a feature to a character named W.D Gaster. A ghostly character who never truly appears in the game. Honestly, covering him is a theory all unto itself, and probably one best saved for another day. Even still, none of the Gaster theories I've seen have been able to explain all the details. In particular, the photo album, and the badge. And that's what kept nagging me as I researched Undertale. A badge? That one in particular really stuck out to me. Why would such an oddly specific item to be hidden in the huge easter egg of a room? Something that supposedly reveals the truth about Sans? Badges just aren't important in Undertale. Then it hit me. What if this badge isn't from Undertale? What if this badge is from a completely different game? And was, in fact, the most important badge in the history of gaming? The Franklin badge. Now, for those of you wondering what I'm talking about, the Franklin badge is a pivotal item from the Mother series. You know, the one with Earthbound. Or, maybe you don't know that one either. Uh, you know, the one with Ness from Super Smash Bros? Yeah well, Ness is from Earthbound, and Earthbound is the second part in this larger Mother trilogy. Alright? Good. Anyway, the Franklin badge is a really important part of that series. It gets its start in the very first game and carries through the whole trilogy, saving your life multiple times in the process. It's SO important that nintendo has made it a staple item in the Smash Brothers series.

So, uhh, other then faceit what projects are you talking about exactly? Because I can name like 10 right off of the top of my head that didn't give anyone anything or are not even known about publicly because it's all backend work for casts or tournament/LANS.

how is this surprising or bad to you

Did you really just discover the fact that Faceit intends to make money from their business, then write an angry forum post about it?

I dislike b4nny #bravetweet

Pootis_Fazbear gives so much and asks for nothing in return. Truly a genuine contributor.

if i may offer a counterpoint, faceit on paper is actually beneficial as it provides a place for new players to play pugs that aren't tf2center aids, and those new players can see a clear progression system with the best players pugging in the invite division, which they may one day be able to play in. now obviously this doesn't work in practice for the higher level puggers as we've seen but i really don't think it's a useless b4nny cash grab.

Los eventos recientes dentro de la comunidad realmente me han frustrado y he querido mencionar esto en múltiples ocasiones, pero en mi opinión esto se aplica a todos en la comunidad.
Una gran cantidad de desarrollos dentro de la escena generalmente se publicitan como estos grandes actos de altruismo Despacito Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito Deja que te diga cosas al oído Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo Despacito Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito se benefician son las personas detrás del sitio. ¿Por qué está bnnny tan molesto por la gente que no juega cara? No Despacito Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito Deja que te diga cosas al oído Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo Despacito Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito

why didnt u just post this in the pugchamp thread idgi

Die jüngsten Ereignisse in der Community haben mich wirklich frustriert und ich wollte das mehrfach erwähnen, aber meiner Meinung nach gilt dies für jeden in der Community.
Viele Entwicklungen innerhalb der Szene werden normalerweise als diese großartigen Taten des Altruismus veröffentlicht. Ich möchte deinen Nacken langsam atmen. Lass mich dir Dinge in deinem Ohr erzählen. So kannst du dich erinnern, wenn du nicht bei mir bist. Ich möchte dich langsam mit Küssen ausziehen. Ich unterschreibe an den Wänden von Ihr Labyrinth Und machen Sie Ihren Körper eine ganze Manuskript profitieren die Menschen hinter der Website. Warum ist Bnnny so verärgert von Leuten, die nicht teuer spielen? Nein, ich möchte deinen Nacken langsam atmen Lass mich dir Dinge in deinem Ohr erzählen Damit du dich daran erinnerst, wenn du nicht bei mir bist Ich möchte dich langsam mit Küssen ausziehen Ich unterschreibe an den Wänden deines Labyrinths Und mache deinen Körper zu einem kompletten Manuskript

Hey, I think you're a really talented guy. I've seen what you've been doing on the computer there, umm, and I'm just blown away by how good you are on the computer, and so, know what, I got a job for you. You're coming with me. You're hired, and uh, I got an opening for you at my firm, and how's this: starting salary $200,000 per annum. Whaddya think about that? Listen kid -- I need ya. I need ya on my team. I've seen what you can do on the computer. That's a -- that's a video 'cause um, you're all -- everybody has computer skills, and uh, you know, your parents, when you're young and you're playing fucking Pokemon Red, and you're blowing your mom and dad's mind with how "he saved the file! How'd he do that? Hey, my kid's got computer skills!" So everybody hehehehehe, so we all sorta think that we um, that somehow I mean that somehow we'd be able to serve a function, or serve a purpose, or add -- bring value to the table in the corporate world, and it's not true at all, hahaha

Stuart Little has ruined my family. Last summer, I approached the miserable mouse in the street, and asked him for his autograph, because my son is a huge fan. The fucking rat gave me the autograph and told me to burn in hell. Later, when I gave my son the autograph he started crying and said he hated me. Turns out the mousefucker didnt write his autograph, no, he wrote “you’re a piece of shit, and i fucked your mom”. I’m now divorced, and planning a huge class-action lawsuit against the white devil that ruined my life. Your time is almost over, Stuart. All the people you’ve wronged will rise against you.

The State’s behaviour is violence, and it calls its violence 'law'; that of the individual, 'crime'.

Well if this doesn't answer the original question, then I don't know what will.

haha well news flash for you buddy, guess what

Die Folgen der Industriellen Revolution haben sich für die Menschheit als eine Katastrophe erwiesen. Unsere Lebenserwartung ist dadurch in den "fortgeschrittenen" Ländern bedeutend gestiegen, gleichzeitig aber trat infolgedessen eine Destabilisierung der Gesellschaft ein, das Leben wurde unerfüllt, die Menschen gerieten in eine unwürdige Abhängigkeit, diese Entwicklung hat zu weit verbreiteten psychischen Problemen geführt (in der Dritten Welt auch zu organischen Krankheiten) und der Natur wurde unermeßlicher Schaden zugefügt.

Die kontinuierliche Entwicklung der Technologie wird die Lage weiter verschlimmern. Mit Sicherheit wird die Menschheit in noch größerem Maße abhängig werden und es werden noch gewaltigere Naturschäden auftreten. Wahrscheinlich werden sich die soziale Entwurzelung und die psychologischen Probleme noch verstärken und schließlich auch in den "fortgeschrittenen" Ländern zu einem Anstieg von Krankheiten führen.

Das industrielle-technologische System wird entweder überleben oder zusammenbrechen. Wenn es überlebt, KÖNNEN möglicherweise mit seiner Hilfe physische und psychische Krankheiten verringert werden, jedoch erst, nachdem das System eine lange und schmerzhafte Periode der Anpassung durchgemacht hat, und nur auf Kosten einer permanenten Verringerung der Bevölkerung und vieler anderer Lebensformen. An ihre Stelle treten dann manipulierte Produkte, die nur noch Rädchen in der gesellschaftlichen Maschinerie sind. Überdies werden die Folgen unvermeidlich sein, wenn das System überleben sollte: das System kann nicht durch Reformen verändert oder modifiziert werden, um dadurch zu verhindern, daß die Würde und Autonomie der Menschheit verschwindet.

Aber auch wenn das System zusammenbricht, werden die Folgen sehr schmerzhaft sein. Je stärker aber das System sich entwickelt, um so katastrophaler werden die Folgen des Zusammenbruchs sein. So wäre ein schneller Zusammenbruch des Systems wünschenswerter als zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt.

Deshalb treten wir für eine Revolution gegen das industrielle System ein. Diese Revolution kann mit oder ohne Gewalt
durchgeführt werden, sie kann plötzlich auftreten oder sich in einem längeren Prozeß über mehrere Jahrzehnte vollziehen. Wir sind nicht in der Lage, das vorauszusagen. Aber wir werden ganz allgemein die Maßnahmen skizzieren, damit die Gegner des industriellen Systems den Weg für eine Revolution gegen diese Form der Gesellschaft vorbereiten können.

Es handelt sich dabei nicht um eine POLITISCHE Revolution. Das Ziel wird nicht darin bestehen, Regierungen zu stürzen, sondern die wirtschaftliche und technologische Basis der gegenwärtigen Gesellschaft zu zerstören.

In dieser Abhandlung werden wir nur einige der negativen Entwicklungen darstellen, die durch das industrielle-technologische System entstanden sind. Andere Entwicklungen werden wir nur andeuten oder gar nicht darauf eingehen. Das bedeutet aber nicht, daß wir diese Entwicklungen für unwichtig halten. Nur aus praktischen Gründen müssen wir unsere Erörterung auf die Gebiete beschränken, die bisher ungenügende öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erhielten oder über die wir etwas neues zu sagen haben.

So gibt es inzwischen sehr aktive Umwelt- und Naturschutz-Bewegungen, so daß wir nicht viel über Umweltzerstörung und - beschädigung geschrieben haben, obwohl wir gerade diese für außerordentlich wichtig halten.

PSYCHOLOGIE DES MODERNEN LEFTISMUS

Wohl jeder wird mit uns übereinstimmen, daß wir gegenwärtig in einer zutiefst beunruhigten Gesellschaft leben. Eine der verbreitetsten Erscheinungen unserer wahnwitzigen Welt ist der Leftismus. Deshalb soll eine Diskussion über die Psychologie des Leftismus als Einleitung für die Erörterung der Probleme der modernen Gesellschaft im allgemeinen dienen.

Was versteht man unter Leftismus ? Während der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts konnte man Leftismus etwa mit Sozialismus gleichsetzen. Heute ist die Bewegung zersplittert und es ist nicht mehr deutlich, wen man eigentlich als Linken bezeichnen kann. Wenn wir in dieser Abhandlung über Linke sprechen, dann meinen wir vor allem Sozialisten, Kollektivisten, "politically correct"- Anhänger, Aktivisten im Bereich des Feminismus, der Homosexualität und der Behinderten, Verteidiger des Tierschutzes und dergleichen. Jedoch kann nicht jeder, der zu diesen Bewegungen gehört, als Linker bezeichnet werden. Was wir versuchen wollen in die Erörterung einzubringen, ist nicht so sehr die Darstellung einer Bewegung oder Ideologie, sondern die Beschreibung eines psychologischen Typus, oder eher die Zusammenfassung von einander ähnlichen Charakteren. Was wir unter "Leftismus" verstehen, wird sich im Verlauf unserer Erörterung über die linke Psychologie ergeben (vgl.§ 227-230).

Dennoch bleibt unsere Leftismus -Konzeption leider unverständlicher als wir uns wünschten, aber wir haben dafür keine Lösung gefunden. Wir können lediglich in groben Zügen und annähernd die beiden psychologischen Tendenzen umreißen, von denen wir glauben, daß sie die wichtigsten treibenden Kräfte des modernen Leftismus sind. Dabei behaupten wir keineswegs, daß es sich hier um die GANZE Wahrheit über Leftismus- Psychologie handelt. Außerdem gehen wir nur auf die heutige Form des Leftismus ein. Wir lassen die Frage offen, inwieweit unsere Erörterungen auch auf die Linken im 1 9. und 20. Jahrhundert bezogen werden können.

Die beiden psychologischen Strömungen, die dem modernen Leftismus zugrunde liegen, bezeichnen wir als
"Minderwertigkeitsgefühle" (feelings of inferiority) und "Übersozialisierung" (oversozialisation). Minderwertigkeitsgefühle sind charakteristisch für den Leftismus in seiner Gesamtheit, während Übersozialisierung nur einen Teil des modernen Leftismus kennzeichnet: aber gerade dieser Teil ist besonders einflußreich.

i don't like the people in the community who try way too hard to act nice when you know it's totally fake and over the top

like constant hearts and love and encouragement and random acts of kindness. but it's just to a super excessive degree and weird and semi-uncomfortable, and half the time you hear stories of how savage or rude or immature or mean these people are behind the scenes

you know the types i mean

remember kids, be genuine
