    Did Toby Fox work on the PMTTYD Switch remake? Because I recognize the voices during text boxes as being inspired from Undertale.

    Nope, he's not credited for it. The similarity is probably coincidental. There are only so many ways to do those little "here are some short soundclips strung together" type of voices.


    That said, some of the Twilighters do sound rather like Sans, don't they?

    Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Why do 99.9% of all YouTubers let the fame go to their heads if you give them even the slightest bit of it?

    The reasons are complex and it's not possible to paint every case with a broad brush, but I would reckon fame tends to warp how people view their relationships to everyone else. Massive attention from the public invites constant scrutiny, harsh criticism from strangers, and excessive praise/fawning all at once. Attention is already a heck of a drug on its own. Consider how stimulating it is (for better or for worse - sometimes you're exhausted and still can't look away from the computer) to see online chatter and messages, especially concerning yourself. Multiply that greatly, and suddenly you're awash in this stimulation that you're going to keep craving even if it's actively making you feel worse.


    Then add to that a sense of being "critic proof". You have to shut out the most vitriolic comments from your critics, because people can say truly nasty things behind the anonymity of a screen, but it's easy to slip from there into denying and deflecting all criticism. Then your decision to disregard criticism is easy to justify, because you have all these legions of fans praising you. You must be doing something right, right?

    So you're awash in a level of attention you've probably never had before, you're craving more of it, which starts turning people from people into... well, merely fans, potential fans, and folks who don't like you, and you're incentivized to move as many people from that middle category into the other two (even negative attention is attention!). That's already changing your dynamic with the people around you. Add on that shutting out your critics and embedding yourself in an endless stream of praise making you feel smugly superior to a lot of other people, another change in how you relate to everyone else. Maybe you also become obsessed with comparing yourself to other famous folks, another way in which the way you relate to others can warp! You start to see yourself as powerful and talented, and it becomes easier to justify exploiting people around you. After all, they're inferior to you! They should be thankful you let them have the opportunity to work for/with you at all! Maybe on top of all of this, your life circumstances are changing, because, say, this has all made you wealthier, so even there the way you relate to other people is undergoing a massive change.

    All of these rapid changes, all of this new self-perceptions, all of these new ways of relating to people around you, it's going to change how you behave.

    The ratio of chill to not chill YouTubers that I know about is pretty heavily weighted towards ones that are fine so I don't know where this info is coming from

    @Sir Pentious It's just based on personal experience. Like half of the YouTubers I have watched over my lifetime let the face go to their heads, both in my homeland and in English speaking countries alike.

    What I wouldn't give to live in a timeline where my grandparents got to live into their 90s, COVID, internet drama and other shit that happened to me during the 2020s never destroyed my mental health and I was having success with whatever venture I chose to follow in life...

    This is my personal opinion, but I'm not really a fan of the Extreme Home Makeover reboot, and I think replacing Ty Pennington with Jesse Tyler Ferguson was a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Jesse, but given that Jesse is an actor and I know him from Modern Family, when I see him hosting a reality show, I simply don't see Jesse Tyler Ferguson, I see his most popular character, Mitchell Pritchett instead, and for some reason, it makes me uncomfortable. With Ty Pennington, I never felt anything awkward watching him at work because Ty wasn't an actor like Jesse is, so when I see Ty, I actually see him instead of a fictional character like I do with Jesse.

    Don't you just love being woken up at 4 AM in the morning by a mosquito and being unable to go back to sleep afterward, knowing you have to get up at 8:30 in the morning to get ready for work?

    Tell me about it. Summer fucking sucks. It's hot, there's bugs always getting in the house, it's a mess.

    I don't think a mosquito would wake me up in the middle of the night. Nor do bugs get in my room all too often

    What if Nintendo ended up making an open world Mario game that included full voice acting as well as radio stations playing real world music inspired by Grand Theft Auto, with the disk jockeys being several Mario species that are voiced by both regular voice actors and celebrities alike?

    Given that September is gonna be here in about two weeks, I'm already planning my theme for that month, and I have decided to have my September theme be an Animal Crossing villager that has remained exclusive to Dobutso no Mori e+ and not reappeared in a single Animal Crossing game afterward. I'm thinking of choosing between Jūbei and Madam Rosa. Which of the two should I go with?

    Did everyone enjoy themselves during the Awards last night? I'd say that I did so myself. Got to chat with some fine people here and there, got to see some well deserved wins in the Community Awards, and I got to thank those who liked my 'Shroom sections enough to cast their votes for me in the categories I was nominated in. So all in all, it was a night well spent for me last night.

    Don't you just love when you open your window in the afternoon to let fresh air in, and keep the window open until late at night to allow a dozen mosquitoes to get in and keep you from sleeping because you can't sleep with a dozen mosquitoes bugging in your ear?

    You know what I find very funny about the internet? People who claim to be against bullying or post motivational quotes while being toxic as heck themselves.
