You are a little kid named Frisk that fell into the underground world of Monsters.</p>
<p>[SPOILERS AHEAD]<br>
Long ago, monsters and humans lived together in peace. Then war broke out between the two groups. However, since the power of nearly all monster souls equates to just one human soul, none of the humans were killed by the monsters, while many of the monsters were killed. When the war ended, the humans brought out seven of their best magicians and created a magical barrier separating the humans from the monsters. Now the monsters are stuck in the Underground. Seven humans have fallen before you, and that is exactly the number required to break the barrier. However, the first human, Chara, has their soul inside Asgore's son Asriel. Asgore is the king of the monsters, and right now, he has six souls. Now he is trying to get your soul so that he can break the barrier and monsters can be free. (Only one human and one monster soul is required to cross the barrier and get human souls from a graveyard. But crossing it is too dangerous because humans can attack.) The goal of Undertale is to persuade Asgore to use all of the monster's souls and the six existing souls to break the barrier instead of killing you and using your soul. (Because remember, the power of nearly all monster souls equates to one human soul.)<br>
[SPOILERS FINISHED]</p>
<p>Oops, I might have spoiled the game for you, but that's what you get if you don't follow the spoiler warning. </p>
<p>Okay, so if you have ever played Undertale or watched videos about it, you will know that the overworld is in full colour, while the in-game battle sprites are black-and-white. This can be boring for some, so for those bored by that, I have the perfect solution for you. </p>
<p>Just <a href="https://files.catbox.moe/zaspik.zip" rel="noopener noreferrer">click this link</a>, download the file, unzip it and read the README file. Or if you want to read it without downloading, here it is: </p>
<pre><code>By following the instructions below, you will be able to use Undertale coloured sprites on Linux. THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON VERSION 1.001. You can check your game version in the start menu.
---
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE GOG VERSION
THEY MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FOR THE STEAM VERSION
1. Go to '~/GOG Games/Undertale/game/assets/'
2. Rename game.unx to game.unx.bak, so that you have a back-up of the original game in case things get wrong
3. Copy or move game.unx from this folder to '~/GOG Games/Undertale/game/assets/'
4. Boot up the game and you should have coloured sprites! :)
---
Known issues: The X key will not work properly. However, you can use SHIFT for the same function and it will work fine.

<p>Note: this is <strong>not</strong> an article on how to install Undertale for free. You need to look somewhere else, sorry.<br>
EDIT: The C key will also not work for opening your inventory. But you can use the Control (ctrl) key for that. And the Enter key will do the same functions as Z (even though the Z key will also work).</p>

That channel was taken down for uploading Muzzy in Gondoland videos. I was angry at that takedown, since it was not done by the owners of Muzzy (BBC). So I decided to create a new channel under a different name. Many of the videos on MahaerHD will be reuploaded to this channel. Also, all new videos made by myself will be uploaded here. I hope we will still have a good time together! :)</p>
<p>My former channel name was <em>PingvenKnabo52 - Memes and more!</em> so that I would not be detected by YouTube and taken down. However, I read stories about the YouTuber 20fadhill having his channel taken down by Viacom, yet he still goes strong by the name <em>20fadhill: Revolution</em>. So I ought to make my name similar to his.</p>
<p>Fun fact: My profile picture used to be <a href="https://pixabay.com/vectors/avatar-beak-black-cute-emotion-1295389/" rel="noopener noreferrer">this</a>. But I found it too boring, so I created a pixel art of my profile picture based on a Minecraft building I made with my friend.</p>
<p><img src="https://fediverse.blog/static/media/AF8D0643-A481-F9EE-16EF-12D59BFEC381.png" alt="Minecraft building of my profile picture."></p>
<p>Of course, this led to the profile picture I have now.</p>
<p>Some questions you may have about me:</p>
<p>Q: Do you still upload memes, Youtube Poops, and ocassionally other kinds of videos?<br>
A: Of course! :D<br>
Q: What does your former name mean?<br>
A: It means "Penguin Boy" in Esperanto. Why? Because I like Esperanto and penguins.<br>
Q: What will you do with videos that do little to no modification to copyrighted content?<br>
A: I will just upload them to PeerTube, and I will post a Youtube video advertising the video (with a link in the description, of course!).<br>
Q: Which languages will your videos be in?<br>
A: Mostly English. And Esperanto, once I get good enough at it.</p>
<p>I also have a PeerTube channel <a href="https://open.tube/accounts/mahaerhd" rel="noopener noreferrer">over here</a>!</p>

I was looking for Telegram stickers when I stumbled across this cute set. I thought it was pretty cool, so I decided to download the stickers and convert them into PNG, so that you can convey your emotions, the Slav way XD.</p>

(We'll call those HJC.) They were games that you could play on your web browser, as long as you had the Adobe Flash Player software installed. They were not only called so because they needed the player. They were created using the software Adobe Flash for Windows and macOS. The player was available for those platforms, as well as Linux distros. You could also create animations with Flash. Not only were there amateur animations uploaded to the internet. The software was, and still is, used to create some TV cartoons. For example, Teen Titans GO, Johnny Test, and My Little Pony. However, as Flash is getting obsolete, games are now made with the modern HJC technologies, and newer cartoons are now made with Toon Boom Harmony. (And amateur animations are now either drawn with digital drawing software and put together with a video editor on PC, or made with FlipAClip on mobile.)</p>
<p>I think 2010-2017 was my school's flash game phase. I think it started fading away when HTML5 was introduced and flash-less computers with Windows 10 were introduced. I think it stopped completely when Fortnite was released. I have heard many people have nostalgia for a flash games website named "Cool Math Games". (Despite the name, many of its games were not math-related. Possibly so that schools would not block the website >:)) But we never went on Cool Math, instead, Friv was the most popular website.</p>
<p><img src="https://fediverse.blog/static/media/A95777BA-A154-BA92-5B41-A18A04AD7B7D.png" alt="Screenshot of Friv homepage"></p>
<p>I myself, preferred A10, as it did not remove a game should it be too unpopular. Even though those websites had differing names from Cool Math, they shared much of the same games. The most popular games were (in no particular order): Fireboy and Watergirl, the Papa's series of games (e.g. Papa's Pizzeria), and Red Ball. I remember playing the game "Stealing the Diamond" when I was a child. I also played the prequels (Breaking the Bank, Escaping the Prison and Infiltrating the Airship) when I was older. There's also a new game called "Fleeing the Complex". I've only played it a little bit.</p>
