i think it’s easy to forget why the sans fight was so utterly groundbreaking because of how done-to-death the subject is, but i think one of the many incredible things about it was the fact that it’s a video game boss fight where dying and resetting is directly textual, and while that’s been a thing in the game the whole time and some other bosses draw attention to it too, none of them come anywhere near as close to making it The Entire Point, fucking with the player’s head the entire time, as sans does
