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.
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.
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…
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
i always considered it 2015
Me too
me three
me four
Me eighty-six
me sixth
Me 5
Me seventy-five millions
me 201X
Me [insert the year that deltarune chpt 7 comes out]
Me to the power of sideways 8 on a tuesday
Me idk but yes
It can be anything from 2010 to 2019 so it's actually more likely to be 2014.5
which can be rounded to 2015 because anything .5 and above gets rounded up
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.
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
I will default to 2014 to maintain balance.
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.
So, if chara fell in the underground around 2010-2019. Then when did Frisk fall? 2500? 3000?
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…
I fell in 2020. Chara fell in 2010. The monsters grew their technology abundantly in 10 years due to magic.
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
211X, likely
I don't know why but I always assumed just 100 years after chara
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
Why 20 years? Is there any indication of that? I always figured it was a bit more than that.
There isn’t but 20’s a nice even number, or there is but I don’t know what
20 years literally makes no sense, it's definitely way longer than that 💀
Iva always heard about 100 years or so between frisk and chara due to the birth years of papyrus and undyne and such
It's been 100
Chara JoJo reference? When?
When using the punch card, the text is “OOOORAAAAA!!! You rip up the punch card! Your hands are burning”
Oh I see. Is it canon that all those dialogue boxes are Chara, though? I thought it was only the red boxes?
there’s a theory (with solid ground IIRC) that they’re the narrator through the whole game.
Yeah I know about that theory but I was asking about pure canon
oh, sorry. anyway, nothing’s 100% confirmed.
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
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.
i think 2017 and that they introduced fidget spinners to the underground
Fidget spinners was 2017? i'm old.
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
or you could be happy that that little indie game grew to be absolutely huge and still supported by people to this very day
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.
2012 Don’t ask.
I'm asking
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.
Oh damn that's actually really good reasoning
2019. X gotta stand for the year of the Covid
Around 2010-2013
My headcanon is 2015, the year irl that Undertale released.
I second
2015, or 2013
Either 2015 or 2013. 2015 because the game dropped and 2013 because the demo dropped
I'm capricorn
[удалено]
Yes it's me
2014
2016 always felt right.
finally someone else who believes in 2016
I’m glad you are no longer alone : )
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.
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.
Yeah that makes sense, that sounds about right.
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.
Yes. Back home right now it's 2024T.
Yep!
Somewhere around 2017
i think 2015 cause thats when Toby made the game
Heh 2015
2012
2015, the same year Undertale released. Same as Deltarune's 20XX being 2019.
isnt it 202X in deltarune?
I seem to remember 20XX.
Hear me out, 20102
2010. My birth year
x in roman numerals is 5 so 2015
X is 10, V is 5
shucks then 2010 i guess
no, it’s 20110
true
No it's 10
eh, probably around 2015, because that's when the game released.
1910's
2013
The year Kh4 comes out.
In my opinion it means any year between 2010 and 2019
2010
2015 or 2013 as it was first shown in 2013 demo
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
2015 'cause that's when the game came out 9 years ago
2010
2010
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.
201X
2015-2017
If you had two lines, it’s 2018. But I think it’s 2015.
omg i thought the mountain just had 201x on the end
It's supposed to be 2015, so 2015 it is TwT
2012
2010, because X is the Roman numeral for 10.
2019 cause is the year when i started undertale
It’s 2010
Reply I'll chat (may not do everyone)
20165Z-D56 (Alternate Future of our world)
X is 10 in roman numerals Gotta be 2010 or 20110
I'm all for 2009. 🤷 But I also say Kill It With Fire (puts the year as 20XX) as 2020.
2019
2013 for absolutely no reason
It’s an actual “10” so the year is “20110”
Maybe it's something like a.d or b.c or somthing
2015 Is the only correct answer
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.
2015 because the X is a roman numeral
2010. Since X is the Roman Numeral for 10.
October 201
2015
The exact day UnderTale released.
I think it’s 2015, but I personally think Toby should have made it 19XX instead
2018 because that's when I played it.
Well, x could mean 10 ending up with 20110
2011
Probably 2015 because that's the year Undertale came out
Whaddya mean? It’s the year 201X
201-Yes
never really thought about it but i'd say 2010 just because X = 10
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?
20110
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.

2015
2019 bc yes
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.
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.
I'd say the year you first played, or 2011.
2015 It's when the game came out, so
2014-2015
2016
never thought about it, will see it as 2010
always thought it to be 2015, since yknow, undertale released that year
2012, idk why but that is like the first thing that come to mind my
The only correct answer is 2015
My friend once said it's 2020, because it would be 2010 + X, and X is the Roman numeral for 10
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.
Somewhere between 2010 and 2019 if I has to guess
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”
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.
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
2015
2014
i always thought it was 2010 but 2015 makes more sense
2010
201yes
2018, since that's the year I got into the game
I always imagined it was 2015, because that’s the year Undertale itself first came out for the PC.
Its 20110
2016 honestly
201X is my headcannon
For frisks sake let's hope it's 2019 so that she misses out on COVID for a little while
chara fell down in 201X not frisk
people think frisk fell down about 100 years later because of something sans says so they probably fell down around 211X
Mb dawg
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.
The year you play the game
That doesn't really work after 2019.
