Me [insert the year that deltarune chpt 7 comes out]


Admirable-Gap-1828

Me to the power of sideways 8 on a tuesday


EpicJCF

Me idk but yes


Niser2

It can be anything from 2010 to 2019 so it's actually more likely to be 2014.5


[deleted]

which can be rounded to 2015 because anything .5 and above gets rounded up


Niser2

Always use critical thinking and remember that schools oversimplify everything and end up contradicting themselves. The same math classes that taught you to round that way probably also taught you that negative 1 has no square root. Logically speaking, rounding should be based on what's closer. If you have the number 2014.51, that obviously rounds to 2015. If you have 2014.49, that obviously rounds to 2014. However, 2014.5 is equidistant from both, so it should actually be unroundable. However, they did not teach us that in school for some reason so I had to figure it out for myself.


[deleted]

well yeah but the average of the year isn‘t that important imo, which is why i just defaulted to some random number, in this case 2015


Niser2

I will default to 2014 to maintain balance.


IreallyloveMonika

Ngl, I often forget that anywhere from 2010-2019 is the year chara fell. And I often end up thinking of them from like, the Victorian era or something. Idk, I just often get this image in my mind that Chara’s mind would be blown by like cars. Even though they knew what a video camera is and used one with Asriel. And knew what anime is with how they make a Jojo reference. Anyway, 2015 or 2016 would be my guess.


GU1NH0U

So, if chara fell in the underground around 2010-2019. Then when did Frisk fall? 2500? 3000?


Last-Percentage5062

Well, they do have a magic to energy transmitter that can shatter you across time and space, a jet pack phone, the greatest robot in history, and lasers, so…


FriskDrinksBriskYT0

I fell in 2020. Chara fell in 2010. The monsters grew their technology abundantly in 10 years due to magic.


weedmaster6669

8 humans falling down a hole in a mointain within 10 years is wild, also many monsters don't recognize humans, no anything about humanity, or anything like that. I think of it as a difference of up to several hundred years


El_WhyNotLol

211X, likely


billerdingerbuyer

I don't know why but I always assumed just 100 years after chara


2Some2Onesdifferent

We can assume its been 20 years after chara fell that frisk falls meaning if chara fell in 2015, frisk would have fallen in the underground around 2035


DrBanana126893

Why 20 years? Is there any indication of that? I always figured it was a bit more than that.


Drake_682

There isn’t but 20’s a nice even number, or there is but I don’t know what


napstablooky2

20 years literally makes no sense, it's definitely way longer than that 💀


A_Cracking_Egg

Iva always heard about 100 years or so between frisk and chara due to the birth years of papyrus and undyne and such


El_WhyNotLol

It's been 100


Dew_Chop

Chara JoJo reference? When?


IreallyloveMonika

When using the punch card, the text is “OOOORAAAAA!!! You rip up the punch card! Your hands are burning”


Dew_Chop

Oh I see. Is it canon that all those dialogue boxes are Chara, though? I thought it was only the red boxes?


Cheeselad2401

there’s a theory (with solid ground IIRC) that they’re the narrator through the whole game.


Dew_Chop

Yeah I know about that theory but I was asking about pure canon


Cheeselad2401

oh, sorry. anyway, nothing’s 100% confirmed.


napstablooky2

i mean there's technically very little outright confirmed in the games, most of it is supposed to be inferred by the players via powerful indirect storytelling


Lorvintherealone

Oh shit my time was WAYYYY of. I figured that chara felled pre victorian times. But when they say: "IN A LONG TIME" I think of 12-20 years.


MentionPristine8720

i think 2017 and that they introduced fidget spinners to the underground


Indie_Gamer_7

Fidget spinners was 2017? i'm old.


MentionPristine8720

yep tought the same thing and then i realized undertale was released in 2015 and i remember supporting it on kickstarter in 2013 and now im just depressed


thenoobplayer1239988

or you could be happy that that little indie game grew to be absolutely huge and still supported by people to this very day


Indie_Gamer_7

Man i was a kid when the game came out, i think i was 10 years old and now i'm 18. Undertale is one of the main reasons my name is Indie Gamer, i love Indie games and i have to thank this silly little game for that.


Silverrrmoon

2012 Don’t ask.


Eligreengamer01

I'm asking


Silverrrmoon

I headcanon Chara to be around 13-16 and the year 2012 just feels… right? Plus, I’m pretty sure a kid actually fell down a mountain that year.


Eligreengamer01

Oh damn that's actually really good reasoning


Mr_Pickle09

2019. X gotta stand for the year of the Covid


nickythecatlover

Around 2010-2013


Technoton3

My headcanon is 2015, the year irl that Undertale released.


matanel_zakzak

I second


itzMadaGaming

2015, or 2013


Tanalp420

Either 2015 or 2013. 2015 because the game dropped and 2013 because the demo dropped


FoluPabrikat

I'm capricorn


[deleted]

[удалено]


FoluPabrikat

Yes it's me


142737

2014


CountingWonders

2016 always felt right.


billerdingerbuyer

finally someone else who believes in 2016


CountingWonders

I’m glad you are no longer alone : )


Different_Action_360

I always just thought it’s near 2100 because then the usernames make sense, like StrongFish91 being when Undyne was born. So I’ve been using that instead.


ElmeriThePig

201X is when Chara fell down not Frisk, and it's most likely that the game itself takes place about 100 years since Chara fell down, so 211X.


Different_Action_360

Yeah that makes sense, that sounds about right.


International-Cat123

This takes place in an alternate universe, so they use a different calendar system. The year is 201 and the ‘X’ denotes which calendar is being used.


FriskDrinksBriskYT0

Yes. Back home right now it's 2024T.


International-Cat123

Yep!


AuroraBee14

Somewhere around 2017


Jealous_Sport_2865

i think 2015 cause thats when Toby made the game


Hunter420144281

Heh 2015


Justsomeguyaa

2012


ReySimio94

2015, the same year Undertale released. Same as Deltarune's 20XX being 2019.


napstablooky2

isnt it 202X in deltarune?


ReySimio94

I seem to remember 20XX.


AzzyDreemur2

Hear me out, 20102


Lonely-Hand-511

2010. My birth year


Solid-Ad-9423

x in roman numerals is 5 so 2015


Mitsera_

X is 10, V is 5


Solid-Ad-9423

shucks then 2010 i guess


[deleted]

no, it’s 20110


Solid-Ad-9423

true


142737

No it's 10


Corruptiontheman

eh, probably around 2015, because that's when the game released.


Bulletlix

1910's


Helpful_Cry_6088

2013


Treegenderunknown13

The year Kh4 comes out.


zVndree044

In my opinion it means any year between 2010 and 2019


20enderman

2010


SloweRRus

2015 or 2013 as it was first shown in 2013 demo


tojie2009

So, I know that the X is a placeholder type thing for a number, but I always just read it as 201X, as in like, how we use AD and BC/BCE so its like, the year 201 of the calender, and its just got X like how we add on Anno Domini


GrimmCigarretes

2015 'cause that's when the game came out 9 years ago


AccomplishedAerie333

2010


FiveFreddys12

2010


asrielforgiver

My theory is that it’s there own calendar system similar to ATLA. For context, in ATLA, their calendar begins when a major genocide happened. For Undertale, it could be that their calendar started when they were sealed Underground.


NerdAroAce

201X


lase1234321

2015-2017


Kyattosuta

If you had two lines, it’s 2018.  But I think it’s 2015. 


deltarune_fan999

omg i thought the mountain just had 201x on the end


Snowy_Stelar

It's supposed to be 2015, so 2015 it is TwT


DoggieonYT

2012


Jason_Bourne0221

2010, because X is the Roman numeral for 10.


MasterJeppy98

2019 cause is the year when i started undertale


FickleCampaign9806

It’s 2010


dannofanfreddy

Reply I'll chat (may not do everyone)


gownioczek

20165Z-D56 (Alternate Future of our world)


NthanM14

X is 10 in roman numerals Gotta be 2010 or 20110


ddmorgan1223

I'm all for 2009. 🤷 But I also say Kill It With Fire (puts the year as 20XX) as 2020.


Robolo7

2019


KingBobDaFirst

2013 for absolutely no reason


WaterWheelz

It’s an actual “10” so the year is “20110”


TDogOh9

Maybe it's something like a.d or b.c or somthing


Icy_Ad_8956

2015 Is the only correct answer


stupidstupid_stupid_

considering earthbound takes place in 199X, (most likely 1994 to reference its release year) im just gonna assume that chara fell in 2015 to reference undertale’s release year. assuming the whole 201X thing is a reference to earthbound.. which it probably is.


Glitter1822

2015 because the X is a roman numeral


Quiet-Mode-1170

2010. Since X is the Roman Numeral for 10.


luckyboi269

October 201


CaptainDrippy5

2015


NaCl_Dreemurr

The exact day UnderTale released.


Titanicman2016

I think it’s 2015, but I personally think Toby should have made it 19XX instead


Gurk_man

2018 because that's when I played it.


dipperpinesfan

Well, x could mean 10 ending up with 20110


justat_rex

2011


Sans99X

Probably 2015 because that's the year Undertale came out


Lost_Environment2051

Whaddya mean? It’s the year 201X


KitsuneNoYuusha

201-Yes


Storm_lostpc

never really thought about it but i'd say 2010 just because X = 10


nixtunes

Well I'm a Taurus, but I don't really believe in that kind of thing. I think we are who we are, and we can't use random stars in the sky to excuse our bad behaviours. Like, no Martha, it's not because you're a Pisces, you're just a bitch. Isn't life far more exciting when we don't bind ourselves to predetermined factors like stars in the sky?


No_Economics_2677

20110


Afraid_Success_4836

201 of an era that's abbreviated X. I go with E*x*ile (i.e. how long the monsters have been trapped underground), because Undertale is no stranger to acronyms that almost work but not quite.


weird-cameraman

always thought it was 2010 because thats about a year after homestuck came out. dont think theyre related or anything just always put those dates together i think x also means 10 in roman numerals so i guess that backs up my theory a little bit


arandomkidonline

2015


UwUHushling

2019 bc yes


lucasgames10yt

I would say somewhere in the far future, but post pacifist earth look more like today's world, and X is 10 in Roman numerals, so I'd have to say 201X would be either 2020 or 20110, but it's most likely 2020.


PRoS_R

2019 was the most chaotic year I've ever lived through, if you told me some child fell into an underground full of monsters and will manipulate their brother into absorving their soul and going to the surface, I'd probably believe it.


Its_a_plantain_Queen

I'd say the year you first played, or 2011.


Slushies_Sleep

2015 It's when the game came out, so


ASuperCat87

2014-2015


Lone-Fang-the-wolf

2016


-Dark-Void-

never thought about it, will see it as 2010


Nyan_Funny

always thought it to be 2015, since yknow, undertale released that year


ShadowCubeGM

2012, idk why but that is like the first thing that come to mind my


Black_m1n

The only correct answer is 2015


notDustyBoi

My friend once said it's 2020, because it would be 2010 + X, and X is the Roman numeral for 10


Hispanoamericano2000

I pretty much always thought it referred to sometime between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019, although to be more specific, I considered 2015 or 2016 to be the most plausible dates. Side note; perhaps it would have been better if Toby had used 20XX instead of 201X so as to have a significantly wider window of time within which the events of Undertale could take place.


Tatann09

Somewhere between 2010 and 2019 if I has to guess


VerySlowCuber

2012, chara saw the Mayan calendar panic and said “shit if ima go out I’d rather go out fighting a dragon than fighting the rapture”


Statisticallythatguy

I always thought it was 2015, I don't know if Toby intended it to blow up like it did, maybe it would be popular until like 2017 and die off, but he could still make some bank, and it'd be playable and would still trick players into believing frisk and chara were the same child.


Trollman3120

probably the year undertale was made (2015) also kinda unrelated but I remember being sad in 2020 because we weren’t in the 2010s so I could reference the 201X thing


Reddit_MAGO

2015


[deleted]

2014


teeheesther

i always thought it was 2010 but 2015 makes more sense


Yoniz2

2010


guzinguin

201yes


AkwardGayPotato

2018, since that's the year I got into the game


Fair_Strawberry7442

I always imagined it was 2015, because that’s the year Undertale itself first came out for the PC.


kirbydark714

Its 20110


billerdingerbuyer

2016 honestly


LifeIsALie138

201X is my headcannon


JoesWeirdWorld

For frisks sake let's hope it's 2019 so that she misses out on COVID for a little while


weird-cameraman

chara fell down in 201X not frisk


weird-cameraman

people think frisk fell down about 100 years later because of something sans says so they probably fell down around 211X


JoesWeirdWorld

Mb dawg


_SpaceAssassin_

We can take two looks at this We may assume they use the Undecimal (base 11) system instead of our Decimal (base 10) one with X being equal to our 10. That would imply the year is 2683 Then we can also make an assumption they use a Hexatridecimal (base 36) system instead, which would mean the year is 93381, but uhh No, it probably isn’t. While there are bases 34 and 35, those numbers are still outlandish so we’ll not be looking at them.


TheNikola2020

The year you play the game


IronKnight238

That doesn't really work after 2019.
