Good news! I still have the ability to cry!
...Over a video game!
...In front of my little brother!
If you don't already have it, go buy Undertale as soon as you can. Even if you don't think it's for you, it is. If you have ever enjoyed a video game for its story, characters, and writing, you should pick it up. If you have ever formed an emotional attachment to something that isn't real (which you have, don't lie, you're on FA), you should pick it up. If you have ever felt any emotion at all over something you did in a video game and/or have a pulse, you should pick it up. If you're only interested in fighting monsters and gaining EXP, you should still pick this up. Even if the term "JRPG" makes you break out in hives, you in particular should pick this up because no matter how many screenshots you've seen of the game or how many times other people say it, it is not a JRPG but a string of puzzles, characters, emotional moments, pie recipes (I am so totally making that later), and skeleton jokes amalgamated into an experience difficult for me to describe outside of the lines at the top of this journal. There is bullet hell elements, but don't be afraid of them--I'm the clumsiest person I know and I still got through them in a fairly short time with enough determination.
Undertale is one of the strongest experiences I've had in gaming on this side of Planescape: Torment, and I hope that everyone gets the opportunity to play it.
