As the title suggests, I am wondering what is the current best regions to buy games for switch 2. With my fair share of research I managed to narrow down that hongkong is best for Nintendo first party games and peru is best for non nintendo games. I have come to this conclusion with trial and error trying to figure out which country takes an Indian debit card. So yea am I missing some better regions which offer games cheaper, or any optimal regions planned out for different types of games. Please let me know.

So I finished chapter 5 normal and weird route, I think all of us are very excited to finally get answers all the mystery and theories we have been watching and building up since one year, and got disappointed when none of them were answered. But here is the thing, chapter 5 "No lore" has "no advancement" is straight up bullshit, I just cant stop thinking about how well the chapter is written and I just want to put some cool details out there and why do I think its 100% a story forwarding chapter. This chapter is like the good filler, despite being filler in sense, the main plot doesn't really progress, it directly talks about the main themes of the story and gives different perspective which only enhances story in long run. This chapter uses this almost parallel/dichotomy narrative device throughout the chapter and it is done so well that I cant stop thinking about it.

• Flowery and Ralsei.

Flowery is parallel to flowey from undertale, who ofc was Asriel. But we already have Ralsei.
So its like a very interesting dichotomy of almost same character with same ideals but approached differently. Both Ralsei and Flowery know about the meta narrative nature of the darkworld. Ralsei sees his purpose to care and satisfy the hero Lightners. Flowery sees his purpose to care and nurture Asgore. Both are aware of prophecy and its implication. But they operate very differently. Leading to the rise of hate in Ralsei. And the contrast between these two allows them to grow, especially Ralsei who realises and was thought by Flowery, to give into this desires more.

The most brilliant parallelism I liked about Flowery and Ralsei, is that Flowery is fighting for his dark world, The only place where all of his flower friends and Asgore can stay. Ralsei is fighting for our Dark World, the place where all of his friends and we can stay. Flowery even asks us if we can give up our dark world for his, We cannot, just like how he cannot give up his. Its either Kill or be killed.

• BUT THE MAIN ONE COMES FROM DICHOTOMY OF WEIRD ROUTE AND NORMAL ROUTE.

In normal route we third wheel susie and noelle and send them off to in Lake, Ofc in weird route its Kriss and noelle.

In normal route, Kriss and Ralsei take a relaxing dip in hot spring, and in weird route.. its Kriss and Noelle...

But the biggest and main one is how the main theme of the entire story that is The Escapism and how our choices dont matter is handled. In normal route we see the form of escapism from Asgore trying to stay in the dark world to run away form his problems. And how susie considers the closet as her home now. In weird route, there is entire different meaning, talking and commenting on Suicide. How noelle tires to escape from her NPC life through.. well with the lake. On top of this the main soul color this chapter was orange, signifying courage, which was representing as us charging forward, This courage is contrasted with Craziness of proceeding forward into the lake. Is it courageous to escape the routine boring life by dashing forward the bounds, or is just crazy?

• We have so many parallels like this

Kris- soul, Hatsune miku (obvious)

Asgore pushing his family away because of his research and his victimising nature, and him repeating again with his flowers in dark world.

Heck, Aqua being confused with difference between Friend and Enemy, how she sees both as same.

Starting of dark world being Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 literally mirroring each other.

etc etc

Like this the chapter provides a lot of parallels and contrasts which I am still in process of realisation of their meanings, but you cannot deny the usage of this narrative tool and forcing us to view different perspective of the themes established by the story thus far is really amazing writing. With this way of writing its just that more exciting, not cause WHAT ARE ALL THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE SECRETS AND THEORIES. But actually cause of, you care to see where will the characters who spent sooo long time with will go from here are posed this juxtaposition questions of thus established themes lead to.
