I like Toby, but does anyone else feel like he comes off as the epitome of humblebrag? Maybe he's trying to be as humble as possible to balance his success, but the way he casually talks about how his stuff gets referenced, his connections, etc. just feels like he's trying to talk down to everyone (in particular, Andrew Hussie)
Does anyone else feel this way? You like what he makes, want like him, but just kind of rubs you the wrong way?

    Yes and no, it's hard to say. He's done incredibly well for himself and he is always incredibly humble about it. I don't know if things like story writing, music and coding naturally come easy to him, or if he is just being humble. Being so incredibly humble can kind of be disheartening especially when you're very inspired by his work and you'd like to create something akin to it but keep falling short. It makes you feel inferior and that you should be able to do these amazing things effortlessly like him, but even with all the effort you have you fall short.

    He might just be being incredibly humble and in reality his has his own struggles, but it's hard to see that as the case when everything he puts out is really good, even his "crappy rom hack".

    I'm pretty sure both him and Andrew Hussie are on good terms as he still makes a lot music for him. I like to believe he's just this lovely guy that has a passion for video games and music, who isn't trying to humblebrag. I understand why he would do that, he's talked before about being scared about the sheer amount of his success so it makes sense he'd try to be over humble. Sometimes his success inspires me to keep going and keep trying at what I do, but sometimes it makes me feel like I will never reach where I want to be. If he is being humble, I wish he would be honest and say if he has had a hard time getting to where he is now, it would certainly make me feel less bad about my shortcomings.

      Never read any of his interviews, but he has reasons to brag, his game is the most famous indie game ever made, loved by homosexuals, zoomers, millenials, and he is living the dream in japan making music for anime , games, vtubers, etc

      For me, it's like Toby is trying to retain his persona of being "that cheeky fella from the forums you lurk on who makes funny things to showcase his talent", sorta like that one super autismo friend of yours who you can't help but admire.
      And then all that is taken away when he talks about

        I agree. As much as Toby tries to come across as a wacky goofball nerd like he once was, his success is just too far gone at this point that it feels like an act. He's not as daft as he let's on, the man knows he's absolutely succeeded in life.

          To be fair, Undertale may have been seen as a sleeper hit that became successful out of nowhere, but by 2015, the demo was out, there was hype behind it, and there was a dedicated Kickstarter that showed off more.
          And the real smoking gun is that because of Homestuck, Toby had a VERY passionate fanbase prior to Undertale, and had connections to numerous people. He was far from a nobody. Toby had a sizable foundation to work off of when Undertale came out. This is something that is virtually impossible nowadays.

          Toby has the Nintendo boomer mindset. He thinks being underpaid in Japanese Yen for doing grunt work on the latest buggy pokemon game and being work friends with an aging game dev already retiring is the highnote of vidya. It's si ple and it makes him happy but vidya moved on years ago.

          I sincerely doubt Taro is really all that crazy. He’s just a game dev who likes writing weird shit, is a favourite among his superiors, and is trying a futile balancing act between avoiding excess fame and acting as the public face of an entire video game series (Drakengard/Nier). He gets away with kooky shit precisely because it’s a stage persona and his bosses like him.

      Appreciate you typing out your thoughts, anon. Reading what you wrote resonated with me in a very positive way. I do feel that maybe if Toby admitted to having struggles, his humbleness would come off as more genuine to me. It seems like he's just this perfect auteur with masterful talent that can do no wrong, and the only wrong you can say he's done can be shrugged off as "Oh, he was a teenager" or "Oh, he was a part of the Homestuck team". As if the only evidence of weakness or struggle was before Toby found his destiny.
      Call it envy, but it's hard not to be a bit jealous of this guy considering that he's pretty much seen as a god, but he definitely doesn't strike me as a god complex type. Maybe he's just socially awkward and doesn't know how to handle success, but he's definitely got charisma in the videos you see of him and he definitely is handling his success better than a lot of his contemporaries and predecessors have.
      I'm not saying I seeth over the idea that Toby Fox could literally tweet "lol" and be praised by waves of fans, in fact I find that kind of funny lmfao.
      I guess what I'm trying to say is, like you, I want to see someone I look up to and am inspired by as a real human. I want to see vulnerability, struggle, human flaws. Sure, he probably doesn't do that for the sake of PR, and I can't blame him in that regard, but man ...
      I just want Toby to talk about his struggles so I can at least relate. Seeing him admit to flaws gives me hope that I can reach some success. Not his level, and I don't want that. I just want to know a great isn't perfect.

        That's alright, I'm glad it could resonate with you. I wouldn't normally type something like that on here, but the topic felt like too specific not to.

        I agree with you completely. I hold no disdain toward the man at all for it, I only wish that the representation of himself he presents was more reasonable. Everyone's human and I refuse to believe he's never had a hard time whilst trying to do what he does, it really would give me some hope to be reassured that it's not as easy as it appears. Any role model isn't flawless but sometimes it can be hard to see them as so, especially when they're not open about it.

        In spite of it all, I'd say the guy still strikes inspiration in myself. He inspired me to learn piano and make music years ago and I wouldn't be where I am now if not for him. I'm sure though, that with enough time, effort and determination haha, one can achieve whatever they set out to do.

Overall Toby has been pretty smart with how he's played his cards and handled his fame so far, he mostly keeps his head down instead of sperging on Twitter 24/7 like most devs do now.

Like all people with timid personalities his arrogance is unlimited. Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant. He acts shy, but he loves himself; a very tense situation. It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest. To me, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world - a man who presents himself at his worst to get laughs, in order to free himself from his hang-ups. Every thing he does on the screen is therapeutic.

        His seething is not irrational, imo. There is such a thing as insecure/self-aware narcissists; once you meet one or more in real life you start to see "shy" people in a different light altogether. It's specially clear (but also rare) when 2 or more of these have to interact in the same social setting. You say "I can't stand people like me" and the true meaning of that sentence is completely lost to a normal person. As a rule of thumb, look out for seemingly shy/meek/humble people that appear to have NOTHING else to them on a personality level but inexplicably keep getting involved and being the focus of attention.

        It's the more insidious version of "hiding your power level", or the opposite of "hiding your true self under the facade of an arrogant butthole". Your true self is the arrogant butthole, but you know better than to show it, and your alarms go off if you think someone saw through you.

          As much of a meme as it is to call Toby fox a plagiarist, I've stopped caring. I just imagine his music is either a remix or reimagining of an existing song to fit the narrative he has in Undertale, and at the end of the day, it's enjoyable.
          I could care less that Toby copies the good stuff from good songs. The stuff he makes, regardless of how unoriginal it is, makes my ears happy.

          Not a big toby fox fanboy, but every artist copies a shitton ESPECIALLY composers. Toby just didnt do a good job of hiding his influences.

            This. Maybe this comes from the fact that Toby learned to play piano by ear and can't read music (I think). His brain just didn't know how to mask things the right way.
            He still knows a thing or two about music theory and knows how to make shit sound good, even if it isn't original.

      I can't find the source of what I'm referencing, but maybe an anon ITT can help.
      I read somewhere that Toby is an obsessive workaholic to the point of putting his health in danger. The reason Undertale came out as soon as it did (in spite of Toby getting help) was because Toby would work 12-hour days on the project. On one hand, extremely based and admirable, but on the other, holy fricking shit. I don't think Toby can really/has ever been negative, pessimistic or depressing, and even the Halloween Hack is more just edgy teen ideas than anything, but the man does not know his own limits.

        I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. He's fricked up his wrist and needs surgery from over working himself. That still hasn't stopped him, he's using voice navigation tool to still work. Considering he was very close to Andrew Hussie, who would work relentless hours just like that, it seems likely.

          I think it goes without saying that Toby definitely learned from Hussie, but tries to avoid doing anything stupid. That being said, he didn't know how to prevent injury, so hey, maybe Toby isn't perfect!

    he also had a posse of people ready to shill for him at that point, like a lot of Patreon games will

      I wouldn't say it sounds like a tin can, but there's something about it. It's weird, it exists in this middle ground where the mixing is really simplistic but at the same time it still sounds alright. I don't know if that's just the compositions carrying it, but there isn't a whole lot of layering in his music so there doesn't really need to be.

      Big shot was incredibly jarring to listen to the first few times, simply because the mixing doesn't sound finished. The audio for it in game is called something like "spamton_neo_fight_wip", so I think that pretty much confirms that.

    No, this is your brain tricking you. What he posts is about him or concerning millions of people in twittard.
    He might probably have people he hates or two, but he's not dumb enough to yell about it in twitter, he acts humble just because that's how you do it when you're too successful, a some form of social mask.

    >Does anyone else feel this way? You like what he makes, want like him, but just kind of rubs you the wrong way?
    Like.. trying to be someone in twitter, as an artist? You try your best and get constantly mogged by established popular artist?

      Honestly, UT really was a case of being in the right place at the right time. Aside from the quirky saving and file manipulation mechanics, it really wasn't anything remarkable. But it had the right tone and general background to capture the Tumblr zeitgeist of the mid 2010's.

      Compare and contrast with a game like Shovel Knight, which for all intents and purposes is about as good as retro indie platformers have ever gotten, and despite it's success it STILL gets missed in conversations about indies of the era, despite being a fricking incredible game.

      I mean, honestly I could give a shit about the dude. He does come off as a closet narcissist, but I consider him effectively washed up. It's pretty remarkable the amount of dicksucking that surrounds the guy though.

        I think Undertale lasted because it of its aesthetics. Like Undertale's art or not, you can't lie that it has a distinct style. Shovel Knight is a great game but every retro throwback game more or less looks exactly like it.

          It's mostly down to the characters and story. The cast has been shipped to hell and back, and the fanbase at the time was rabid and the story was ambiguous enough in the right places that you could entice lorehomosexuals to spin off exposure for you. There were like a dozen AUs that were all shit. You could barely escape it for a good while.
