ERAM that is soooo disconnected from the "original game" that the second it leaves the game in question becomes some sort of meta cardboard cutout as it it never was a game. As if the "original game" itself left. Surely nothing important there!

like what you're meant to have pieced together by the end lf the sword route is that to be able to have the "original game" back is Eram's goal. Its what it uses to rope you into this and that's why mantle in itself has no freedom. because the true way to "freedom" is the weird

route. That's how "YOU decide what to do". Thats the true "original game" and that's where Eram wants you to go. Eram is not separate from mantle and is never, and i mean never shown as something exterior and hostile to it. Nowhere beings can do all that just fine btw the

forgotten man shows up in the light world, chp4 and 3 dark world AND in Undertale. If anything they have more freedom than anyone else.

And that's of course not even speaking about the skies forever blue bullshit. Eram discussion is annoying because people will proudly claim the literal exact reverse of everything they stand for

like eram confidently displays that they have work to do beyond whatever they did in the sword route. for your reading to work, the only way i can see it happening is if eram is allowed to exist because kris gave them power by acknowledging them e.g the fm, even if i dont agree

They do need your help and says so explicitely. To get in the shelter most likely. Again this is a complete misreading of just how powerful and reality breaking Nowhere beings are.

I literally don't know how one can see the description "Tenna modified the original game, but you can go play the original game back here" and conclude the original game is the modified version. It's just starting from the conclusion of ERAM being *DEVICE*_FRIEND

Eram being the original antagonist of the game that has been overshadowed by gaster's prophecy being the new plot of the game works rlly well. Eram would want to help you do the weird route because it would be playing the original game even, might have to kill the dragon though

Also why do people bring up Ramb saying this game is more "free" like gospel as if he isn't very obviously mirroring Spamton (Who literally ends up on strings when he tries to be a BIG SHOT, which "freedom is for") and Jevil (Who is literally imprisoned but insists he's free).

Isn't that ignoring what ramb said about the og game not being linear tho? Like assuming he wasn't lying, mantle is even more linear then tenna's so idk if that can truly be the original game The blazer titles and the ice palace make think its actually dragon blazers or smth

Yes, but the point is that Eram is dangling keys here. Its message is "you want the original game? come work with me". Not "i HATE the original game and freedom"

my take: the "original game" is more of a symbol than anything and getting this deep into the weeds to find some random gotcha is kinda missing the forest for the trees. applies to both you and OP's arguments

It was already a broken world once it becomes two of the five places where we can find the Forgotten Man. It's also worth to note that Noelle found the horned door unintentionally, since she was meant to be lead by the White Cloak to somewhere else. But here, it's the only goal.

right like yeah of course theres no freedom to be found by just going into the "lost land". the point is that its LOST.

What do you think ERAM is? I think it's the original villain of DT before gaster altered things, something deeply connected with the original protagonist, Kris

That feels like a stretch to me personally. This happens because Mantle is a parallel to our connection with deltarune and we have blurred the lines between the two connections. If ERAM is part of the original game, why does it have a different text font than the rest of the game

I think the disappearance could be the point: it suggests the “original game” matters beyond being a playable setting, not that it was irrelevant.

Tbh i dont think mantle is the original game either. I think eram is modyfing it to play a little bit and introduce the weird route to us. I have my own thoughs about eram but they are entirely "fan fiction" not based on facts

it doesn't have to be that important. sure it could be showing how eram is essentially the game but it could also just be representing how eram wants to push the boundries and think outside the box

At the end of the day, as I discussed with Jordan Peterson, there are just two games to be played, one real, one Woke. The real game is called civilization. The false game is called power. A long post/🧵: The real divide between Woke and not Woke is in power. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasite on the real game, which is civilization. Here's roughly how Jordan described the foundation of this idea. There are various rules, norms, etc., in the game society ultimately plays, and these create a hierarchy that is based upon competence, mostly organically, obviously imperfectly. If the rules of the game are good enough, the imperfections (natural corruptions) are minor and society thrives. If they are not, you'll have problems. This is the real game of building society, and it ultimately has to favor competence. This game must be called "civilization" because that's not just its goal but it is also what it does. It civilizes us beyond our base instincts and impulses so we can work together productively in a healthy manner that generates prosperity. As Jordan put it, this game is also a reservoir of value, and reservoirs of value create parasites. What are these civilizational parasites? They’re parallel games organized by and around malignant psychopathological modes like Dark Tetrad traits, psychopathy, and Cluster-B disorders: histrionic, borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic. These malignant pathologies render people incompetent except at manipulation, so they cannot rise far in a healthy civilizational hierarchy. What do they do, then, to gain power and status in life in a game they cannot actually play? They define a parasitic parallel game and rope people into playing it. It is parasitic in that it draws off the real game (civilization) and mimics its form so that the hosts (people in society) are less likely to realize it’s there, but it doesn’t build or create of its own. It siphons and tears down. What drives this game is failing to see what makes the civilizational game and the hierarchy it produces legitimate in the first place. This is characteristic of the psychopathologies at its heart. The narcissist imagines the world should be serving himself at the top, but it isn’t. The problem can’t be himself, so it must be that the game is illegitimate. Otherwise, he’d be at the top, but he isn’t. Therefore, the game is corrupt. His histrionic nature makes him a victim of the real game, preying upon emotions like empathy and righteous indignation to recruit followers. Because of his Dark Tetrad alignment, his game is not only illegitimate but toxic. It’s inherently sadistic, cruel to its recruits in the way typical of all cults—alternating punishment and leniency or even love-bombing. It’s dishonest. It’s psychologically broken from reality. It’s also a Machiavellian game, which means it has no interest in moral or ethical behavior but only in power. Thus, this rival game to the game of civilization is the game of power. The parasitic game—that is, the power game—is based on a fundamental failure to understand the legitimacy of the civilizational game or the approximately legitimate hierarchy it produces. This is a result of its narcissism, mostly. The game cannot be legitimate because the psychopath isn’t on top of it, where he sees himself constantly as a projection from his frail ego. It sees power in the real hierarchy, though, which it can perceive and understand, and for which it blames most of its troubles. What this means is that the (Woke) power game develops a critical theory of the existing legitimate civilization game. That’s why Woke means “using critical theory (and activism).” A critical theory exists not to articulate a vision—at least not beyond a Utopia after the cult power game holds power to enforce its power game long enough—but to “criticize those aspects of the existing society we wish to change,” as Max Horkheimer, creator of the Critical Theory, put it. The critical theory of the power game exists to recruit by delegitimizing the civilization game in the minds of some of its players, usually ones who aren’t succeeding as well. It picks at “contradictions,” failures, and imperfections while casting the whole civilization game as corrupt and unjust. It offers itself as the only alternative to civilization game while pulling at the threads of the civilization game that allow people to believe in it. It all proceeds from the Woke failure to understand the legitimacy of the hierarchy of the civilization game as it proceeds from its set of rules. Misunderstanding legitimacy leads it to conclude that all hierarchies are actually based in power, and all power is fundamentally arbitrary. That is, they do not believe all power is illegitimate. They believe power is the only legitimate thing in any hierarchy, but they also believe that power is located in persons like themselves through their narcissism and projection. Think of Voldemort as an icon of this mode of thinking: “there is no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it.” Of course, that quintessential Dark Tetrad perspective is what ensures the psychopathological power game will be rigged to make sure the psychopaths are attracted to it and rise to its top. This belief is what we call Woke. The Woke game is the power game, and it is a parasitic competitor to the civilization game. There is no overlap between these two games. To adopt the power game is to abandon the civilization game entirely and, in fact, to become its enemy. But James, you might ask, isn’t there power in civilization? Yes, there is, and necessarily, but it isn’t what defines the civilization game. It’s a byproduct of the game, not the game itself. The civilization game is fundamentally the building out of an organic and dynamic hierarchy based on a set of rules, or what some people call “muh principles,” that will succeed or fail for that civilization in direct proportion to three things. 1) How aligned with the truth are the rules of the civilization game? 2) How aligned with justice are the rules of the civilization game? 3) How willing are the participants of the civilization game to defend their principles and their game, including against socio-parasitical perversion? The more aligned with truth and justice a civilization game is, the more successful it will be, and the more legitimate its hierarchy. The power that results as a byproduct is extremely legitimate in a highly aligned civilization where people haven’t forgotten their charge to defend the game itself, which is what we call responsibility. A civilization game strongly aligned with truth and justice filled with a preponderance of responsible people will produce a thriving, prosperous society. It only works this way every time. Not everyone is responsible, though. Some are also incompetent because of various pathologies (not talking about for other reasons). Those pathological players may, under certain circumstances, create a parasitic side game with themselves on top through a variety of strategies that mimic the values and principles of the real game while distorting them into power plays because their game is power, as discussed above. They will recruit into that game primarily from those who are resentful of the real game for any variety of reasons, and getting recruited into the power game from the civilization game is called “going Woke.”
