Optional, you do not need to stick around Asgore's home for too long. Sticking around reveals more prompts. I stuck around and investigated a lot more than just getting those keys.
Anyway, honestly I think you're just inserting your own narrative. Surely you've at least watched the character say it can't feel happiness at all. Cos if you had you'd realise why your version of things makes no flipping sense to the story. I'm not even inserting any of my own interpretation, I'm just saying what it said. Like damn. This is dumb.

Sadistic glee (my words) != happiness (what you're saying are my words). I never used those words.
Also, Flowey does not want to die. And I know that as a fact. I even quoted specific lines from the game, and those are mandatory viewing.
Have fun having a bad time.

I wish this game was on consoles so bad 
I have credit on PSN right now, but don't really have any money to spend on steam. This kinda caught me by surprise.

Is being scared happiness? No. Is sadness happiness? No. I never claimed it couldn't feel anything. Just not happiness..
And what if not a kind of happiness is "sadistic glee" then? That makes no sense dude. It's glee.

Yeah, finish the game first and then tell me that.
You said, "filled with hatred". I took that to mean, "couldn't feel anything other than hatred," and clearly I'm wrong in that. Sorry about that.
Gee, I wonder why the 'psychopath killer' who gets off on killing people appears in so many different types of media.

Sorry about the spoilers, fixed it.
Flowey does most of the things (bar living with "friends") leading up to the finale of Genocide because he wants to die. How hard is that to understand?
A killer who gets off on killing, meaning he loves it and it makes him happy, would still have a soul by this game's standards. Other characters in the game do some awful or not nice things but still have a soul.
This.
I don't even want to anymore. The whole thing feels stupid beyond comprehension.

You can remap the controls from an option called "Joypad mapping" or something (I forget) on the screen that shows after the title screen, fullscreen the game with F4, and quit by holding the ESC key.
Hope that helps.
Interact with the little lanterns next to the paths, they'll brighten the room.
Just finished the Neutral ending.
...
I spare Asgore and when he lowers his guard Flowey appears, kills him, says IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED and shuts down the fucking game
...
And then the true final boss. One that knows how to use SAVE/LOAD mechanics
Flowey is what the nightmares are made of...

When you're finished with that, this should be good for a laugh: http://webm.host/7569c/
F4 goes fullscreen, hold esc to quit.
But yeah, the controller support is sort of shoehorned in. It sounds like it's a built-in joy2key solution wherein it actually is just reading gamepad inputs and mapping them to keys? I suspect this is why it's listed as "partial gamepad support"

It's fantastic, isn't it?
Haha, wow, I've never tried doing that but that's pretty funny.
Hmm, I must have missed the remap controls option the first time or do they not show up the first time you start the game?
I did know that F4 is fullscreen and ESC quit, but I want to do it on my controller. Big picture, living room, couch gaming... My keyboard is nowhere near me when I play games like this.
But thanks for the help.
I think that's why it's listed as partial controller support. Quitting the game and switching to fullscreen is not possible on a controller.
Games like Jet Set Radio were listed as partial controller support too before their launcher was patched to be controllable with a controller, as it required keyboard and mouse input to work back then because otherwise you couldn't even launch the game while playing in Big Picture on a controller.
wow. devs thought of everything, didn't they?
Yeah, I have that issue too. I have to get up to fullscreen and quit the game when playing it in Big Picture Mode.
Yeah I don't know what's up with the joypad settings option not showing up. I'm not sure if I remember whether they showed up the first time I played. It was definitely there the second time I started playing with a controller already plugged in.
You could always use a program like JoyToKey to map those two keys to your controller?
Omega Flowey
No prob.
What's your favorite boss then?
Undyne the Undying
Only read this if you want the pacifist solution.
At some point during the fight you will gain the option to run away. You just flee and run past her into the next room.
MORE MAJOR SPOILERS:
I don't think so. The fallen child, Chara (or whatever you name the FC at the beginning of the game) was buried under the flower bed where Frisk wakes up in the underground. It is implied that the essence of Chara is mingled with Frisk's soul at that time - pacifist playthroughs result in Chara gaining no power but neutral or genocide runs allow Chara to influence Frisk's thoughts and reactions. Chara takes over completely at the end of genocide.
That's my understanding as well.
There is a ton of stuff this game does towards the end that absolutely cannot be done on anything other than a PC.
Right, uhm, that's why I was wondering considering (HOLY SPOILERS BATMAN)
if you have seen the Post-Genocide True Pacifist endings, you can see Chara coming out in Frisk after the player loses control depicted by him opening his eyes, evil glint, evil laughter and putting on an innoncent psycho smile, or if you take the ending where you don't stay with Toriel, the group picture will have Frisk, with his eyes open, smiling like The Fallen Child with all the other character's faces scribbled out.
The reason I wondered was because the kid in question is wearing Frisk's clothing, so it's not Chara, but he seems to have Chara's smile (seen on the Fallen Child in the Ending of the Genocide Run, in Post-Genocide Pacifist Runs, and also in the bubble when Frisk enters a battle during the Genocide Route instead of the exclaimation mark.) Considering Chara's control is denoted by smile and open eyes, I kinda was wondering if it applied here, especially with Flowey smiling at them from the side.

Frankly i think the artist of the picture just took some liberties
and just ignored the fact that Frisk has a fixed expression

An Undertale Speedrunner compiled all the Neutral Endings he's been able to find so far.
Sadly although it sounded so great, there's no

Yeah, I guess I was reading too much into this. Sorry.

That's not true. Everything can be done on other platforms, if the holders allow it.

I have no idea if there's been a game on any home or travel console that
purposefully crashed you back to the home menu.
From what I saw in game,
the game always refers to both characters as "they", so undefined gender. I think the sprite is created in a way to make it ambiguous as well.
They're both intentionally designed to be gender ambiguous and are referred as they/them in the game.
That's what I figured, it's just weird to see
everyone always refer to them as "he" or "him" instead of "she" or "her"
A combination of the ballet shoes and glasses is what did it for me. I really felt I needed the extra attack power to finish it in as few turns as possible.
After that it's just memorizing patterns and being really skilled/lucky at dodging spears
I'd say most people are projecting themselves onto the character to a certain degree
I don't think any of the major 3 would allow
intentional crashes and secret data writing in locations outside the designated savefile
Edit: That said, perhaps it could be done in android based platforms.
If they ever did port it to consoles, it'd probably just "crash" to the title screen. Though it'd be funny if they (if allowed) made their own faux home screen for each console.
they could probably tie that stuff to achievements or something like that. Force people to make a whole new account to start "clean." And itd be fun to see people reluctant to get all the achievements/trophies in the game
Yeah, like i said, IF they allow it lol
Considering how open they have been to indie games with good reception i don't think it's that far fetched, though.
I think toby would try to do that.
