Deltarune is a game that gets me shaking in excitement for more, in a way that I never felt with Undertale. But for how well-discussed and researched the game is by its fandom, I feel like the meaning of the SOUL in it compared to its predacessor is taken for granted a bit, when there's much more to ponder.

Last Minute Essays is a creative project of mine, made solely because I know people prefer listening to rambling to reading it. And there's a lot of rambling that comes out of my brain which I want to get out into the world somehow.
