Interview with Sans (https://toby.fangamer.com/interviews/nine/)
- It's supposed to be about the number 9
- It soon gets derailed into the whole cast arguing about the lore of the "7 8 9" pun
- The last two lines are in binary. Sans' is "7 8 9"; Papyrus' response translates to "SANS!!!"
9th Anniversary Kitchen Set
- Fangamer made a [promotional video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0i2Wa-oMhU) for it
- It consists of
- (Toby's request #1) A Toriel-shaped oven mitt (it might be too flammable to be legally an oven mitt, though...) and a matching potholder. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/toriel-oven-mitt-potholder?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- (Toby's request #2) An Annoying Dog-themed cup (with the dog inside, at the bottom). (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/annoying-dog-mug?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- A plate which has Papyrus with spaghetti on it. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/papyrus-undertale-spaghetti-plate?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- A Sans fight cup. Some parts are transparent (Sans' eye, your SOUL, and some bones & blasters), so their color depends on the liquid inside. Toby asked everyone to be careful with the AU-making power we've been given. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/sans-glass?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- A dish with Toriel holding pie on it. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/toriel-pie-dish?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- A purple (the same shade as Toriel's robe) apron with the Delta Rune on it. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/toriel-apron-undertale?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
- In the future, there will also be salt & pepper shakers shaped like Sans' and Papyrus' heads. (https://www.fangamer.com/collections/undertale/products/sans-papyrus-salt-shaker?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=ut9)
Deltarune Progress Update
- The new Gamemaker function still has some issues, so the fanbase mass testing on CH1&2 will be delayed.
- CH3 is currently being checked by 8-4 (the Japanese translation company) to see if everything displays correctly.
- Beginning of "professional testing" on PC is planned for mid-October.
- CH4's content is done, there's only bugfixing, translation, and the console port left.
- Everyone who's not working on these is moving to CH5.

The theme of Genocide 9's for this newsletter is fun. I didn't know "sic" can be a verb until this lol. I love that everyone's opinions on 7 8 9 reflect their in-game beliefs:
- Papyrus thinks 7 was misled (belief in Geno Frisk)
- Alphys tries to justify it as a necessary course of action (Amalgamates)
- Toriel disagrees with her (firing Alphys in the True Pacifist epilogue) and says 7 is weak and duty isn't an excuse to hurt others (her opinions on Asgore)
- Undyne just wants to wreck all the numbers (= her approach to SOUL-gathering & life in general)
The extra letter at the end is also interesting. I'm pretty sure the "best friend" being described is Chara (the 9 theme, power, mentions of flowers and creepy faces), which would make Flowey/Asriel the author (additionally supported by the "nothing can hurt" part and the idea of losing the ability to make new good memories if you have too many)
