Dad Doesn't Understand Video Games

My dad pointed out the shirt I was wearing to a friend and proudly said "That's Toby's characters." It was an Animal Crossing shirt... My mom sang Bonetrousle then asked me "what song is that? is that Tetris?" dad watched some of my GI interview and walked out of the room mumbling under his breath "can't believe they've never heard of homestuck" my dad: "who's that character. is that undertale?" me: "there is no character in this game named undertale." my dad: "... really?"

A compilation of tweets by Toby Fox about his parents misunderstanding his video games and music. His dad mistakes Animal Crossing characters for Toby’s characters, his mom thinks the Undertale song “Bonetrousle” is from Tetris, and his dad confuses Undertale with a character and Homestuck with the game interview. The joke is affectionate generational confusion about video games and internet culture. EN: A compilation of tweets by Toby Fox about his parents misunderstanding his video games and music.
