About the timeline post, i saw someone mention that Ralsei's manual in the files says 202X

oh FR? if that’s true then I’m sorry to everyone who thought 201X 😔

will look into this… It does say that. On one hand I get why we think 201X- because Deltarune came out in 2018. but if 202X is the case then Toby Fox had it that way to accommodate for the fact that Deltarune should be completely finished before 2030.

So canonically because Ralsei made this manual to give to Kris (or anyone else) the game can’t happen any earlier than 202X. Let’s say in-game Kris is 17 and let’s say that everything happened in 2020. just to keep it close enough. if the guess for Spamton Sweepstakes is that it took place in 2009 Kris would be 6 years old help

I don’t think I have the brain power to think of when everything took place IF connected to our human world out here. There are alternative ways to think about it though:

Everything took place in around 2018 anyway which makes it more possible (age wise) to start running tour own forum with enough clarity

Everything does take place in 202X but there’s something going on with technology not being as updated in the town (Maybe Ms Toriel’s old school with her antennae TV? and everything coming to this town later than the rest of the world?

or Ralsei wrote 202X as a typo

or Deltarune’s timeline just can’t be connected to our human world and how technology and the internet changes and evolves didn’t happen at the same pace- either in just Hometown or entirely in-universe. At the end of the day it was definitely probably written as 202X so we subconsciously see it happening as the same time as our own lives anyway and so we’re even more inclined to relate to everyone maybe
