  • The Weird Route continues to be a goldmine of inexplicable coding decisions. Why does Noelle's animation bug so hard when you Spare Berdly on this route? Why does she keep hitting him even when I tell her to miss? What's with all the bread?!
    Wait is this video 9 minutes? Dang I keep making them longer then I mean to.

    Not sponsored or anything I just don't like doing legwork if someone else has.
    FAQ:
    Q: "Weird Route?" Do you mean "Snowgrave Route?"
    A: None of the routes have "official" names, but sometimes fan-names become so powerful it feels like they do. In-code the game variables refer to it as Route B, or, The Weird Route. (It's not consistent).
    Since I often need to refer to the Route types before I can make a Spoiler Warning, I prefer "The Weird Route" as it min/maxes the spoilers/clarity ratio.
    That is to say, if I say "Weird Route" to someone who hasn't seen Snowgrave, they won't obtain any new information beyond "there is another route." Where as, if I say "The Weird Route" to someone who knows of it as Snowgrave, the worst that will happen is they will say "Wait, do you mean 'The Snowgrave Route?'" On the reverse side, 'Snowgrave' implies a lot about the nature of the route (involves Noelle, probably involves a lot of death) and isn't mentioned until later in the route.
    Besides, there's only 2 Chapters right now. What if Chapter 3 doesn't contain Noelle at all, but still includes a Dark Creepy Route? Since I can't edit a video once it drops, this is safer for longevity too.
    Q: The Disclaimers are different!
    A: Yeah, I designed the disclaimers so I can swap them in and out as the video requires. There isn't a lot of Theory Craft in this video, so I (hope?!) I can not drag everyone through the "don't be mean to theory crafters" bit just this once.
    I do spend a lot more time delving into Snowgrave here then I have for the last few videos, so it seemed like a good time to bring back a "content warning" disclaimer. Also I just learned about Keyframes so animation is less horrible.
    And this is my first time rewording the TTS disclaimer. While I standby my previous reasoning, I've been getting a lot of "stop using disability as a shield," which is kind of missing the whole point? I don't make disclaimers to not get mean comments, but if my message of, "be kind, be accommodating" isn't reaching people, it's worth putting some effort in to see if I can increase the odds of reducing hostility for TTS users as a whole.
    The "Spoilers" bit being shorter was just a desire to sync with the music better, don't read too hard into length-changes.
    Q: Where is cat version?
    A: I forgot to keep cat version in mind when I was editing, and now the screen is kind of cluttered. I can't figure out where to put cat with this much clutter so, no cat version today.
    Q: What happened to dog?!
    A Ewok is my roommate's dog, so sometimes he just follows 'em around the house. Don't panic if he's missing sometimes.
    Q: Did you know you misspelled Pirouette?
    A: EHAEHAEHAEHEAHEAHAE!
    Q: Wait you have a twitch channel?! Where is it?!
    A: Uh, I mean, there's no schedule, or voice, or commentary. Half the time I don't even explain what I'm doing or why, you'd just be watching me walk into the same wall in dead silence for hours. It's all the blandness of Bread with unpredictable Chaos timing that can range from "2am one night" to "10am another" to "9pm another." I don't even have emotes!
    If you're truly Determined to watch The World Most Boring Streaming I won't stop you: / halfbreadchaos
    but don't say I didn't warn you
    Q: Did you actually bury yourself in bread?
    A: Nah, it's metaphor bread. Everything I make has some degree of literal truth and playful joke-i-ness about it. Try not to get too bogged down overthinking it.
    Besides, if I had actually buried myself in bread, Quinn wouldn't be sleeping on the bread, he'd be eating it. He loves bread.
    Q: Where's the Patreon?
    A: Sometimes youtube eats the links, so if that happens, it's right here: www.patreon.com/HalfBreadChao...

    I remember seeing a video where someone hacked their attack stat down into the negatives. The attack displayed a miss, even when you hit the attack at the right time. Looks like missing the input just makes an attack deal zero damage, and dealing zero damage is displayed as a miss. If someone has less than zero defense, that zero-damage hit has its damage boosted to actually hitting after all.

      Mettaton the Unfathomably Attractive Rectangle, plus I guess some dude called Asriel, also have all attacks miss when you hit them, and at least Mettaton's clearly not doing anything like dodging, so, yeah, does seem consistent with how it was before.

    • @SK-by6qd
      @SK-by6qd 2 года назад +53

      Fun fact about having a negative Attack stat, it’s possible when the enemy’s Defense is below 0 that attempting to hit won’t deal damage but missing will. Basically, attempting to hit gives an accuracy of some positive number, but because of the negative Attack, that gets multiplied to be in the negatives, making the damage dealt become negative. Missing gives an accuracy of 0, and because 0 can’t be changed by multiplying, it will deal damage if the enemy’s Defense is below 0.

    • @MrTailson1
      @MrTailson1 2 года назад +18

      Not entirely sure if this is a fun fact, but I would also like to point out because it also has some correlation. In some old school RPG games, namely the Dragon Quest series with the most recent entry on the Switch, and I believe the RPG Maker series on Steam itself, also have some kind of "fail-safe" condition with negative values for stats and attributes. In DQ, if the player's attack stat was lower than an enemy's defense, the attack would be "blocked", and no damage would be dealt. However, if you can lower an enemy's defense below that of the player's attack, you then start doing damage and the animations play out accordingly. Same goes for RPG Maker. If the player's ATK is in the negative, or at least below a target's DEF, it will display as "MISS" but not usually as the number 0.

      @@MrTailson1 That's interesting, when I played LISA, dealing no damage was displayed as a smaller, slightly greyed-out 0. I wonder if that was achieved by simply replacing the "MISS" graphic with 0, but I'd have to replay. I swear it's possible to miss in LISA...

    Oh man now I'm imagining a mechanic where you have to poison/otherwise defeat your teammates or Kris themself in order to stop them from doing some murder. I guess you already had to block Susie from attacking, so there's a precedent for it, but I imagine it would be more stressful to actually have to poison someone.

      Sounds like the kind of scenario where both outcomes are bad & it's on the player to decide which is preferable. I imagine your party member wouldn't forgive you easily for that kind of thing. Depending on the size of the party, you could even have to decide who's gonna do the poisoning.

    7:17 it actually does matter, at least in my opinion. As someone who’s done a few Jevil No-Hits, and also did a few challenge ruleset runs on that fight. I’ve seen a lot of people’s challenges on that fight.
    And lowering jevil’s defense below 0 is actually a really major part in certain extra challenging rulesets.
    Like for example there are people that have defeated him using only pirouettes on kris and only missing every turn as the others.
    Or people who have defeated him using only ralsei missing while Kris is only allowed to pirouette every turn, and Susie is only allowed to Guard, etc.
    A lot of these challenges would not be possible if it wasn’t for the fact that enemies take damage even if you miss if their defence is below 0

    Hi, I'm here to explain.
    In deltarune, if a party member attacks they deal damage equal to:
    ((At x Accuracy) ÷ 20) - (3 x Enemy defense) (I can't fricking post the image link of this math formula)

    Accuracy score is determined as follows:
    150 for a critical hit(perfect golden)
    120 if the player was 1 frame off
    110 if the player was 2 frames off
    100 − (frames off × 2) if the player was 3 or more frames off
    0 for a Miss.
    Miss is still a value. ''0'' And 0 is stronger than negative numbers which causes kris and noelle to hit no matter what.
    I hope this helps.

    I think the fact that is how the attack meter works is interesting from a coding stand point, and the TTS makes your channel be more recognizable, because from what I seen you are one of the few TTS theory channels, and most of the non-TTS theory channels have very similar voices and ways of talking (to my perspective at least), so the TTS is very unique and recognizable for that simple reason.

    Fantastic vid. Dan from Game Grumps gave some interesting insight to Susie & the chalk. He said his Dad (Avi) & friends used to steal it & eat it because it would give them a fever for a few hours so they could get out of class. I've also heard sometimes people can crave chalk if they have a potassium deficiency often from not eating good food often enough. It would also line up with Queen & the bananas you collect. Queen's No.1 concern is Noelle's happiness & she's concerned about Susie to the point where she actually brings food to school for her if you talk to her. Anyway, hopefully this helps.

    Really interesting video. I think your series concept of mouse traps is pretty cool, small little tidbits of information that the game gives us but doesn't lead to anything big(as of now). Every channel does big lore videos unless you have something interesting and unique, such as the goner code video which I loved, I think the "mouse-traps" mini-series will help you find your own niche topic to discuss. Thanks for the content!

    • @HalfBreadChaos
      @HalfBreadChaos  2 года назад +2

      Secretly everything I do is, to some level an experiment.
      There's the obvious "how does my audience respond to this" factor which I get through comments, and the technical "how does RUclips respond to this" which... has been fascinating.
      My previous video (the Closet Dark World) had a ton of animation, info, and jokes lovingly weaved into it, but it did pretty badly. I suspect this is because the Title and Thumbnail aren't particularly engaging.
      This video is the polar opposite, light on content, heavy on building intrigue through the thumbnail/title. Immediately this became my most popular video from the algorithm's perspective.
      This doesn't mean I'm going to stop making info-dense deep-dives but it tells me that shorter snappier videos are more profitable and that thumbnail/title are Actually Very Important.
      Not that I'm purely profit-driven, I just recognize that my ability to keep making videos in the future is strongly tied to how well my channel does. (If I can't support myself through the channel then I lose time to whatever job replaces it, which means less content). So there's an incentive to find a happy-balance.
      Shorter videos are better for informing people as well, since it's hard to remember every piece of trivia in a 20 minute ramble session.
      But uh, yeah! :D My pleasure. Thanks for the uplifting comment, I never imagined how big of an impact comments like this have until I experienced it from the creator-side. It still blows my mind.

    This video was recommended to me by RUclips, and I'm glad it was. It was super interesting to see how the defense mechanism works (honestly I thought the conclusion would be "It was a bug", so that was surprising) and like you said, how it could impact the story in the future ! (And I think there is a high chance it will, given that it's a Toby Fox game and with attention to detail, he would have patched it if it was useless)
    In short, this concept of video is really fun to watch (at least for me) and I hope you will make it a serie ☺️
