I love hyperfixations. you can be playing a video game and there's a character you can interact at most twice, and you only see them in ONE scene, and they are of no significance whatsoever, and everyone who plays will be like "oh yeah that's jockington, he love sports. one time when they didn't give Catti a hoola-hoop during gym class she just used him instead" like we have NO REASON to know that. WHY do we know that

#that's also partially because Toby is such a masterclass writer #his characters are endearing and memorable #and we know details about them even if they're people you talk to once #his npcs and side characters aren't flat billboards with a face on them. they're characters #they have personalities #and THAT is a big part of what makes all of his games so GOOD #the characters may be made for the story but they are not plot devices. they aren't props #they are people #and it's SO GOOD #like. you can imagine a world where we befriended catti instead of susie. she says next to nothing to us and yet we know her #it's. so. good. #nutdealer posting #deltarune #utdr
