I wish it was considered okay to growl at people. going "grrrr" is a lot easier and way more straightforward than "please don't do this, I'm uncomfortable." that's a full sentence. I'm probably annoyed, scared, or overstimulated. I'm not saying all that. grrr.
fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals. protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.
the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity. make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged. and strike. attack.
YES
i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word.
above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that
Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money
TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)
WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it
Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

Post-AWWY ch5 would mean that Flowery has literally nothing to jab Ralsei about other than sealing his Dark Fountain. The hat thing would still happen considering Flowery did that to hide Ralsei from Asgore.
This would put him on the Shit List Forever.
Flowery POV is trying to get his haha funny quirky moments in around the Fun Gang, but at every given moment he gets to play a cup shuffling game with who has the soul. Whichever person has the soul is going to lunge at him because the Angel is moving like the god damn Prowler after that.
Okay so, when I finished chapter 5 I had a sort of general feeling of dissapointment, and to some extend I still do now. But there was also this air of familiarity about it, like, "I was disapointed like this before"
and for the love of me I couldnt figure out why that was. Until today that is.
You see, this used to happen all the time in the SU fandom. We would wait months for an episode or two, theorize ourselves to hell and back, and when they came out, they were casual, slice of life episodes. No lore reveals just general mundane shenanigans (sound familiar?)
so naturally, we all got dissapointed and angry because we all expected something more.
Thing is, when you watch the episodes now, they work perfectly fine as a break between all the huge lore reveals and end of season bullcrap.
I remember a phrase feom one of the fans "We dont need a break, we just got one!"
And I feel thats exactly whats happening here. (besides certain plot points that were just dissapointing like asgore not being in the conspiracy)
Because we wait so long, ch5 felt more like filler than anything of substance. Weird part is though, Toby is usualy pretty good at splicing important lore bits with filler stuff, I have no idea why he decided this was a good idea with release times worse than SU.
SU has the excuse that, while the people making the episodes completed them on time, the showrunners would release them in really weird segments.
But no one is releasing these for Toby. Who knows. Main point is, when 6 and 7 come out and we play it as a whole set it will all make sense.
hopefuly.
This point has been brought up a few times, and people keep going "Oh Toby explicitly said this is a fun lighthearted adventure before the storm!"
That's great. However, you can absolutely do fluff while not dumbing down the characters during it, still progressing the plot, and building on our current knowledge.
It's called Chapter 3.
Chapter 3. The Fun Adventure. The adventure clinging to that theme of nostalgia and refusing to let go of the good ol times. Here's one last fun adventure reminiscent of all the other ones you've been on!
The Knight appears. The overarching tone in ch4 does not let off of the throttle. We are led to believe with the Final Prophecy's reveal that things will never be the same From Now On.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME JARONA!
And Deltarune, ultimately, is a game. It is a brief narrative which will only last for a little bit in its overarching story. Filler is cool and all, but as stated previously, you need to continue advancing the plot. Why make that filler completely impervious to previous information that happens in the plot? Why not color the Suselle festival moment with the fact that Susie is wary of the Final Prophecy and he has to reconcile with the fact that she's playing into its designs? Why have characters suddenly ignore outright bullying towards each other? Why have characters ignore things which could very well lead to the Final Prophecy occurring (like opening fountains).
It's not that this chapter is fluff, it's that this chapter is meaningless fluff. I think it's actually so fucking fine to expect the game to start answering questions at some point, because now our only option to handle the laundry list of very pertinent questions is for ch6 and 7 to be obscenely long. The pacing has been shot in the head now for a chapter that doesn't really add anything and makes it seem like every character just FORGOT about what happened in Chapter 4.
They fought a Titan together. They saw the end together. What are we DOING letting Ralsei get goomba stomped into the ground?
And quite frankly, people are leaning way too hard into "I trust the process for ch6 and 7". Chapter releases are already controversial as shit. Deltarune has already shown its cracks with mechanics vanishing or being dropped, massive quality disparities, and sometimes feeling like cliffhanger bait is essential at the end of the chapter to keep drumming up hype.
I am judging what we have now. I am judging based on how well I think the game can answer the questions it itself has posited in a way that is satisfying while also not obliterating the millions of other questions.
Like here. Under the cut. These are all of the things that I believe have become so utterly pertinent that the story can't get away with not answering now. Ask ended here.
All you need to know is that I am absolutely not calling this fluff chapter a good thing no matter how much Toby said he was going to do it.
Ralsei's identity plot and how his journey as a Darkner will resolve. He has no way of going to the Light World that has been expanded on (closest thing is Spamton NEO wanting our soul to do that very thing).
Castle Town's ultimate fate, which is the same thing as the Ralsei thing. How long are all of these people going to be able to visit a small town highschool supply closet? This was exactly Ralsei's fear and is a big question mark.
The Final Prophecy and how to subvert or break it. The Pure Crystal is our only lead, which isn't even actually a lead, just an assumption. We still do not even know what it says, and the entire plot of the game is about there potentially being more than one ending. This has not really been explored yet in the main route
The entire meta. You have been caged and your will has been stifled this entire time. You haven't had time to build your own personal dynamics with the Fun Gang like every other character, meaning that your reveal could feel very short-lived. This makes me worry that it will lead to "You are here to join forces in the final hour to Win The Game for Everyone Else's happiness but Never Yours". The meta has only been brushed with the finest comb
Susie finding out about the entire betrayal and the resulting aftermath.
The identity of the Knight and why the Knight became that way
The newly confirmed and introduced "something is under the town" plothread
Why are Plantners suddenly relevant and distinct now unless the only reason this was done was to make sure Flowery stays dead?
Noelle's plotline with her being left out of everything and needing to confront likely her own past and to be more involved
Rudy is actively fucking dying and the resulting fallout
What even was Kris' plan? What are they trying to do? Why do they need us? Why why why why?
What the fuck is going on with Gaster? Seriously!
I loathe these two and would be fine if they never appeared again, but what's with our two resident potential critters (FRIEND and ERAM)
What is your ultimate fate?
What is the Angel? Why does it need to be banished?
What is the tail of hell? What are roots? What is the ring of heavens call?
Why is there sacrifice with Undyne?
THE ENTIRE ROARING IS GOING TO HAPPEN AMIDST ALL OF THIS AND HIJACK THE PLOT
What's in the Shelter? What's at the bottom of the lake?
And before people go in the comments and say "Oh star obviously some of these are being set up", the point is not if some of them can be hit. The point is if you can answer all of these questions THAT THE NARRATIVE POSITED in a way that is SATISFYING, WELL-PACED, and DOES NOT overshadow the other aspects!
THAT is where I am concerned. Not IF these questions can be answered, but HOW will it be executed.
