That’s Toby Fox writing about the fandom around Deltarune. He says he doesn’t follow theories because “I already know what my game is.” But he also recognizes that theorizing is part of the fun: “It’s not an exaggeration to say that thinking about this game can be just as much of the experience as playing it is. Anyone who keeps thinking about it, like I have, gets my highest blessing.“
Fox also says that “I believe” Deltarune Chapter 6 will release in 2027. Chapter 5 launched in June, and it’s great, building on an already excellent package.

The new Pokémon book Pokécology has lots of fun details about various pocket monsters, but as Bulbapedia notes, some of the math might be off. I don’t know enough to check the numbers in the thread myself, but I know enough about Pokémon to say that maybe Spheal is just being a goofy guy.

Bud Cole has been catching some flak over comments he made to T3 about AI’s role in music. Now he’s attempting to clarify what he meant. You can read his full statement provided to The Verge at the bottom of our post from this weekend, but here’s the gist:
If AI has a role, it should only be as a tool that helps beginners learn and gives seasoned artists new ways to explore, refine and experiment with their own creative ideas.
