So I just defeated toriel like 3 times and this message keeps appearing, Toby fox spawns and start talking, after that the title appears and sents me to the menu in where I can choose to reset or continue
The game is programmed under the assumption that you're not supposed to know that the human's name is Frisk the first time you play it. Reset, name yourself anything else, and you'll have the intended experience.
Well it’s also because the character whose name you choose just cannot logically be named Frisk. It would cause a conflict later in the story and make it rather confusing.
I know, you’re not really Frisk, are you? Frisk has been gone for a long time. What IS your name? Frisk? Oh, but you're not the same human. You can't be. It is a nice name, though.
Nah they started the meme, but it has been a THING since forever, look at the fanon content as a great example of how even a decade ago ppl couldn't read. But they did start the "i can't read i'm an undertale fan meme".
I originally thought that was the default response to any name. I played hard mode several times before realizing that I shouldn’t name the fallen human Frisk
Presumably OP has interacted with the fandom before playing and assumed Frisk was the Cannon name for the fallen human. Which is a pretty easy mistake to make if you’re trying to remain mostly spoiler free
It's almost like pressing the same key over and over again gives you the same result over and over again... What is this? Some type of action and reaction?
Because they're not asking for help...
it's been 10 years, if they really needed the help they can just look it up too, the post got 2.3K karma, it wasn't because they didn't know.
Game warned you what would happen if you named the fallen human Frisk. You can’t choose Frisk as that will conflict with the story and make it rather confusing.
naming yourself “frisk” is basically an easter egg. you’re not supposed to know that name until after a true pacifist route, so it’s hard mode/new game+, but because that’s not what undertale is about (and also because toby was probably genuinely lazy), it only goes to the end of the ruins before sending you back and allowing you to reset and change your name without a true reset or geno clear to disable hard mode
I think he didn't know who Chara was and just f***** it was an evil character but thought flowey was joking when he said this name won't make your life hell cuz because it was canonic or something I don't know he heard of a protagonist known as frisk from undertale
The game did explicitly state "warning: this will make your life hell", did you not notice it?
Attempt to name yourself anything else, this is an easter egg 'hard mode' that exists but isn't finished by any means.
lol, that’s because you named yourself “Frisk”. It’s an Easter egg. Change your name
Whaaaa, didn’t kneeeew
I see these kind of posts like every 3 weeks and I just wanna ask: What do you think the "This will turn your life hell" meant?
"Woah, spooky!'' proceeds to play
Every Creepypasta protagonist
Tom should’ve listened to Kyle he’s an idiot (I don’t know anything about creepypastas don’t jump)
tbf, it IS Sonic so Tom had no reason to panic
Is this sonic.exe? god i hate that pasta so much lol.
Hey whatch your mouth I love sonic pasta
So do all of its biggest fans, join the club.
Every exe fan agrees that the original one is shit
It's all the re-imaginings that we enjoy
yep, the original one all the way back in 2011 with all the cliches in tow
Nonononono. You got it all wrong.
Tom being a smart gamer could recognize an edgy rom hack despite it being a CD and never playing a hack before
I am Haru Urara, I still need to finish that rye grass
No no, you got that one right
YO KIMBER THEY GOT ICED TEA
Pero no le di importancia 🗣🔥
"un Sonic con ojos hiperrealistas me dijo que me mataría si termino el nivel, pero no le di importancia"
insert “I ThoUGhT iT SAyS tHaT fOR eVerY NAme!” here
I mean, it implies difficulty not that the game will end in less then an hour
As someone who was dumb once, I just thought that was just normal game behavior, like some cheeky thing before playing the game
Flavour Text? idk man i found out about hard mode before playing the game
I mean, I really thought that message was referencing the bad ending or sum like that.
You're an idiot
Lore accurate flowey
r/mysteriousdownvoting
Also a better question:WHY DID YOU NAME YOURSELF FRISK TO BEGIN WITH?
That’s exactly what I thought, and seeing as how OP doesn’t have any visible posts or comments, they are likely the same one doing it every time
Yeah I mean Deltarune says you acknowledge the risk of seizure and whatnot but it doesn't actually mean anything lol I can't say I blame them
[deleted]
Well no shit! It's called hard mode for a reason
I probably misinterpreted the comment I replied to lol XP
The ultimate Easter egg, because it literally prevents you from playing the rest of the game. That's some meta humor right there.
no, its just the easter egg is and has been unfinished since the game released
The game is programmed under the assumption that you're not supposed to know that the human's name is Frisk the first time you play it. Reset, name yourself anything else, and you'll have the intended experience.
Well it’s also because the character whose name you choose just cannot logically be named Frisk. It would cause a conflict later in the story and make it rather confusing.
why can't two people have the same name though
“I know, you’re not really Frisk, are you? Frisk has been gone for a long time. What IS your name? Frisk? That’s a nice name.”
Maybe something like,
This would imply that Toby Fox can code.
Yeah snow way, that would cause disaster and would definitely be a grave mistake
its like,, some sorta of am SNOWGRADE
Because of Toby Fox
Did you not notice the “warning, this name will make your life hell” text when you named yourself Frisk
can't an undertale i'm fan read i
I thought that curse was lifted
that curse will never be lifted, even with them gone...
Person who keeps using the phrase because they're legitimately illiterate and don't know the person who made the phrase popular is a sex pest
mf just bc the maker of art is shit does not make the art shit, stop pretending it does. a joke is a joke, doesnt matter who it comes from
The art is shit too even outside of the streamer who popularized it the joke is so overused and unfunny
[removed]
And that's just an opinion, no need to insult them so harshly
that's just your opinion, has nothing to do with the fact that the joke itself is very much fine to use without being attributed to its creator
It will be rephrased, but it will go on
I readn't, I'm Undertale fan?!
The curse was always there and always will be, they were simply the first to acknowledge it.
correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't the 'undertale fans can't read' meme a thing even before shayy?
Nah they started the meme, but it has been a THING since forever, look at the fanon content as a great example of how even a decade ago ppl couldn't read. But they did start the "i can't read i'm an undertale fan meme".
The meme isn't unique to this fandom
I thought we sacrificed Shayy to learn to read
Who Shayy? I got it from Tenna
Sadly sacrifice of them didn't do anything
lost where the forest would grow or something
Shayy reference 😬
who gonna tell them
shayy doesn't own saying that. it's fine.
So we can joke about being illiterate as long as we don't mention Shayy? Alright, got that, I've been afraid to say it after the drama.
why? nobody can claim ownership of a joke. especially since it's about undertale, which shayy doesn't own.
Good. I just thought that after the whole 262 pages people might jump me for trying to crack the joke.
All those majorly down voted people are the ones you were worried about. They're in the minority, and apparently, a very miserable one lol
oh, mb
not shayy llc broski
Supporting Shayy, I see, get a life
wait until you find out that meme existed before shayy used it for deltarune
Some of us don't even know the mf. Some of us just want to laugh at a dumb meme. Get your head out your rump and see the sunshine
I originally thought that was the default response to any name. I played hard mode several times before realizing that I shouldn’t name the fallen human Frisk
I assume they thought it was just flavor text, like all the other mildly ominous stuff in the Ruins. Nope, straight up legal warning.
When I first played the game, I just thought that every name gave that message.
lol it literally says hard mode isnt finished, it only works in the ruins so thats why it forces u to reset
Presumably OP has interacted with the fandom before playing and assumed Frisk was the Cannon name for the fallen human. Which is a pretty easy mistake to make if you’re trying to remain mostly spoiler free
you're supposed to name the fallen human, not pick the ""canon"" name you found on the internet.
How do people keep doing this and then not knowing what caused it either?
Name - Frisk
Activate Hard Mode
Get Locked at Toriel's boss fight
Reset
Name - Frisk
Activate Hard Mode
Get Locked at Toriel's boss fight
Reset
Name - Frisk
Activate Hard Mode
Get Locked at Toriel's boss fight
Reset
Name - Frisk
Activate Hard Mode
Get Locked at Toriel's boss fight
Reset
What am I doing wrong?
It's almost like pressing the same key over and over again gives you the same result over and over again... What is this? Some type of action and reaction?

r/nothingeverhappens
this kind of thing happens every 2 weeks and it always gets over 1k upvotes
I can understand the frequency
But why the upvotes?
Why are so many people upvoting this?
Don't know. I always downvote these kinds of posts.
why would you downvote someone for asking for help?
To be honest... cause I got bored of these kinds of posts and I already know it wont make a difference.
dick move but go off
Because they're not asking for help... it's been 10 years, if they really needed the help they can just look it up too, the post got 2.3K karma, it wasn't because they didn't know.
Looking it up will spoil the game even more, on the off-chance that this is genuine
name yourself chara
Or anything else
Gaster
I've made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgement
and I don't expect to be forgiven
Gaste
Sans
change your in game name to something else
reading helps
Game warned you what would happen if you named the fallen human Frisk. You can’t choose Frisk as that will conflict with the story and make it rather confusing.
Sort of but not really? It warned them of hard mode, not being locked to the ruins forever XD
how do you read everything after the toriel fight and not figure it out 😭
Name yourself literally anything other than "Frisk"
Bro is really an undertale fan he didn't read
Change your name from frisk to Frick and it will be fixed
Or Ksirf
Well it said the name would put you through hell
Welcome to the hell
name yourself chara
naming yourself “frisk” is basically an easter egg. you’re not supposed to know that name until after a true pacifist route, so it’s hard mode/new game+, but because that’s not what undertale is about (and also because toby was probably genuinely lazy), it only goes to the end of the ruins before sending you back and allowing you to reset and change your name without a true reset or geno clear to disable hard mode
Don't reset, just hack the game and FORCE yourself into snowdin
That's the neat part. You don't
That's the neat thing. You don't.
you gotta choose another name, "Gaster" will help you progress
Hope Toby gets bored after Deltarune.
Ya don’t! Name yourself something different!
That little "warning, this name will make your life hell" text was doing some serious heavy lifting, huh? Now you know why Toby Fox came out himself.
that's the funny part, you don't (naming yourself "frisk" activates "hard mode" which ends at the ruins)
Tomorrow is my turn to ask why I can't advance on hard mode
You just need to wait for the 25th Anniversary when Toby Fox will release the Hard Mode DLC for $621.69.
That's the fun thing about HardMode, you don't. Just play the game with a different name
when it's released
HARD MODE
Coming [straight to your house] soon!
Maybe....
Eh don't count on it
That's the neat part, You don't
I love it when new players ask for help on things that are common knowledge to veterans.
It’s like letting someone in on an inside joke.
The funniest part is if you go in without story knowledge this would almost never happen
And it's like. . The most they've been spoiled on is like. . One piece of fanart of Frisk like "Frisk is such a goober, I love playing as them" lmfao
your screen needs an advance tf happened to it
Have you tried not naming the fallen human "Frisk"?
You dont
Well that’s the hard part….you don’t 💀
Thats the neat part,you don't
50th time this joke gets posted
true
Hmmmmmmmmmm
IDK, but maybe it has to do with naming yourself "Frisk"
That toriel face in this photo reminds me some of touhou PC98 era
Control shift 3
Stop naming yourself frisk every time already 😔
Naming yourself “Frisk” triggers hard mode, which Toby never finished.
If you want to play ‘Canonically’, Chara is considered the true name
You just have to wait for the hard mode update
I think he didn't know who Chara was and just f***** it was an evil character but thought flowey was joking when he said this name won't make your life hell cuz because it was canonic or something I don't know he heard of a protagonist known as frisk from undertale
Is your name actually Frisk???
That should be the end of it; it's like a demo. you've completed hard mode 3 times.
I get this feeling that once Deltarune is over, their will be an update far in the future for Undertale involving hard mode.
I swear to god if I see another one of these post-
why the fuck are you on an iPad???
Average Valve playtester
Don't name urself frisk
reset the clock everyone
The game did explicitly state "warning: this will make your life hell", did you not notice it?
Attempt to name yourself anything else, this is an easter egg 'hard mode' that exists but isn't finished by any means.
Just how many more times are we gonna get these posts?
You frisk as your username!
you've read enough stuff about undertale to know about frisk but not about this easter egg, you're a buffoon.
You fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
Name yourself Karma because that's what you people love farming with fake posts like these.
Does not advance
That's the fun part you don't
wait 4 this https://undertaleplus.com/download
how do we tell them guys... 😔
Here's the neat part you don't
I named myself Frisk on my first playthrough too and somehow got past it. I was so confused that it just ended 😭
Whos gonna tell him
That's the neat part. You don't.
