I read this line and instantly saw Gene Wilder and this scene. Thank you for this meme and props for recognizing it as well.

Although, in hindsight, perhaps it isnt such a stretch. I would be pretty mad if forced to come when I didn’t want to.

Thank you, too many negatives here

Interesting concept here, his hosts were all cannon fodders, yet reached one of the highest ranks. High level cannon fodders.

Why would his grandpa buy a bunch of weapons that only he himself could use?

Several continents are already overrun and the others are on the way out, so could be argued his balance is already broken…

Sort of conflicting here, says “any means possible” but then mentions limitations. Semantics perhaps but words are important.

SlyEye, that name is well deserved, nice catch.

Obviously, the characters from the previous books are different now. Their ascension has changed them and it doesn’t appear to be for the better, at least from the small view we currently have.

(As an aside, this is intended as a fun comment on David’s sour attitude, and not as a critique of Author, who is doing a great job.) It’s not Author’s fault that David has been a jerk. I know that sounds funny out loud, but other writers know exactly what I mean.

I think they call this character development! Look fellow readers David is finally growing up!

This is exactly like a law school criminal law final exam fact pattern. The truth is that this scenario would depend on a lot of variables, but here’s some fun facts based on generalizations of US law: 1. A prosecutor would possibly consider self-defense, but also consider that nearly all murders claim mit was self-defense’, so these claims are taken with a grain of salt; 2. A prosecutor would likely be very suspicious of the fact that the body was hidden, so much so that dismissal of charges for self-defense becomes unlikely, by this point at best you will get a plea deal with reduced sentences, except: 3. Damien’s involvement really messes this for Louis. Damien becomes a possible state witness, especially if they can verify he wasnt involved in the killing (easy since he wouldnt have any defensive or offensive wounds and evidence at the scene would only support that he helped hide the body. Finally, Damien is wriggly enough and well connected to shift the narrative to one in his favor: “ i was running alone and crazy guy near a body threatened to kill me if i didnt help, i was scared im just a famous gamer….”

Absolutely correct, otherwise you could kill people and just wait down the clock. Certainly wouldn’t be just.

Wow, I’m not from Shelbyville but only about an hour or so away. Nice.👍

They can’t have that, Aberon already explained to MC that many are aware of the players and call them Abnormals, and even mentioned knowing they cone from a different world with strange customs.

Probably worked together briefly, both are welders.

As they say, “close enough for government work”.

Agree, a lot of people can fight off their feelings of anger, can’t always fight off hate.

I think you’ve answered your own question, its after the word “besides”

Agreed. Guarantee the already lengthy Terms of Service and End-User License Agreements have become immensely longer by way of all the disclosures and notifications of assumptions of risk by the end user, i.e. the player. Good luck trying to sue!
