As a gamer who's seen more virtual romances than I can count, I recently got hooked on Date Everything, and let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster of laughs, chills, and heartfelt moments that had me grinning like an idiot. 😂 But nothing—absolutely nothing—prepared me for the sheer absurdity of a bathtub dropping a line from Undertale. I mean, come on, I was just trying to help Bathsheba make friends, and suddenly she's channeling Sans with that eerie blue eye glow. It's moments like these that make me adore this game, developed by the brilliant minds at Sassy Chap Games, who clearly know their pop culture inside out. From TVs quoting movies to microwaves thinking they're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, every Dateable is a walking, talking reference fest, but Bathsheba? She stole the show for me in the most unexpected way.

Now, let's dive into why this reference hits so hard. First off, Bathsheba, voiced by the talented Anjali Bhimani, is this posh bathtub who's all about gossip but can't seem to catch a break with friendships. Picture this: she tries to cozy up to Barry Styles (yep, the bathroom's beauty supplies guy, voiced by Nick Wolfhard), and if you, as the player, give her terrible advice—like telling her to snoop even more—Barry shuts her down cold. The next day, when you check in on her, she doesn't just sulk; oh no, she drops the iconic "You're gonna have a bad time" while one eye lights up blue. bathsheba-s-sans-surprise-date-everything-s-undertale-nod-image-0 For any Undertale fan, that's an instant flashback to Sans' epic battle in the Genocide route, where he says the exact same thing with his glowing eye, turning a chill skeleton into a nightmare boss. The attention to detail here is chef's kiss—Sassy Chap didn't just throw in a random quote; they recreated the whole vibe, making it a collectible sprite so you can relive that "oh crap" moment anytime.

What makes this reference even more genius is the timing. Date Everything launched on June 17, 2025, barely two weeks after Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 hit the scene on June 5. Deltarune, being Toby Fox's spiritual successor to Undertale, has been all the rage with its alternate universe twists and brutally tough boss fights, like those optional bonus battles that leave you screaming at your screen. So, Bathsheba's little nod feels like a cheeky high-five to the Undertale community just as everyone's buzzing about Deltarune. It's almost as if the developers knew we'd be in that nostalgic headspace, and bam—they deliver this gem. 🤯 Plus, it's not just a one-off; fans on Reddit have already started calling the game's "Hate Everything" path the "Genocide Route," because to unlock that achievement, you've got to be a total monster, rejecting and hurting every single character until their digital hearts shatter. It's a dark parallel that adds layers to the humor, making you question if you're really the hero here or just a heartless trophy hunter.

But wait, there's more! Date Everything is packed with references that keep the laughs coming. Here's a quick rundown of my favorites:

  • Telly the TV: This guy spouts quotes like a broken record, referencing everything from classic films to viral memes. 🎬

  • Luke Nuke'm: The microwave who's convinced he's in Mad Max, complete with war cries and explosions—pure chaos! 💥

  • Dryer Character: Sounds suspiciously like Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3, with that smooth, sarcastic tone. 🧛

  • D20 Dateable: Hosts "Grottoes & Gargoyles" campaigns, a clear nod to Dungeons & Dragons, and winning his heart involves rolling for charisma. 🎲

All these came together in a symphony of geeky goodness, but Bathsheba's Sans moment stands out because it's so perfectly placed. It got me thinking—what if this isn't the end? Could we see an anatomy skeleton pop up in a future DLC as a Sans-inspired character? Or imagine Bathsheba showing up in Deltarune as a secret boss fight, turning her elegant gossip into bullet-hell mayhem. The lines between games are blurring, and honestly, I'm here for it. What do you think—are we heading toward a crossover universe where dating sims and indie RPGs collide? 🤔💭 The possibilities are as endless as my failed attempts at virtual romance, and that's what keeps me hooked.
