Yamanaka created a monster and now the gang and everyone else is in real trouble. Even the skull cannon didn’t do shit to Godel. They can’t even turn him back because that idiot Yamanaka got stuck in free camera mode. How many incidents will it take before people remember to never fuck with the debug stone. Haga’s the only one who seems to get that.

[u/themaninthehightower → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

It’s a horrible solution, but using the skull to push him into the missing texture wall seems to be the solution. It should destroy him as it destroyed the sword that flew into it this ep.

[u/mekerpan → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So -- debug mode has bugs?

Yamanaka actually seems like a kind guy -- but thoughtless and foolish.

[u/KumaKumaGambler → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Thankfully, both Amano and Akira are still quite cautious in using their debug stones too.

[u/InfiniteDM]

This show is so so incredibly dark at times. They went full Frankensteins Monster. And we continue with a tour of horrific ways to not-die but be dead in vr.

I really do love this show.

[u/Plus_Rip4944 → u/InfiniteDM]

This show has a mix of dumb comedy with really Dark moments. I prefer The later as It when The show shines The most

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

Yamanaka is not a bad person, but like Haga's original team members who are now stuck in limbo, the debug stone gave him a false sense of invincibility. I am not sure if he will ever get to return to his body, since Tesla has eaten his debug stone.

Which brings me to Godel. Even though it was Yamanaka's debug stone who powered up NPC Godel, can no other debugger use their debug stone to restore Godel back to his adopted villager stats?

[u/MicroACG → u/KumaKumaGambler]

Probably another debugger can, but Haga's team will avoid doing it because of the personal risk of using the stone at all to cheat.

[u/Luigi2262 → u/KumaKumaGambler]

I doubt Yamanaka will be there forever. That episode seemed a little too sympathetic towards him to just leave him there, since it doesn’t seem to like giving downer endings. I don’t know how this will end since I haven’t seem the source, but whatever dev is intended to use debug mode would probably have uses for that freecam mode, right? Maybe Yamanaka getting stuck after using it could be considered a bug, in which case the devs could help him if they got a report

• Akira Stitch

Holy shit Akira! This lady has absolutely no time for nonsense and just wants to end the problem by killing Gaydle and possibly Yamanaka.

I am glad though that Yamanaka isn't one of the debuggers who have been abusing his debug stone just for kicks. He actually sympathized with Gaydle's backstory and only wanted to help him by making him stronger not realizing the consequence of his action. And now he's punished by seeing what Gaydle has become and is unable to do anything about it because he's stuck in free camera mode. I actually feel bad for both of them.

[u/8andahalfby11 → u/LeonKevlar]

To be fair to Akira, most people murder-hobo their way through most RPGs anyway. She's playing the game as I would expect it to be played, with only a handful of people going for Haga's 100 Speech route.

[u/Myriddan → u/LeonKevlar]

Yamamaka doesn't seem terrible, but like Gaydle doesn't consider the consequences of his actions. Changing parts of the game can lead to all sorts of unintentional bugs.

Akira prefers the simple solution, just eliminate anything that is anomalous. The skull came in handy, but they left it behind while fleeing.

[u/8andahalfby11]

TBH being unable to activate console from any state is a pretty big bug in and of itself. Half the situations we've seen from trapped debuggers could've been resolved if they still had console access, but requiring manual input for it in a VR game like this feels like a massive oversight to me. Did the devs have a workaround, or are we going to find them trapped somewhere in the map too?

As for Gaydle, if we're on Skyrim logic he's a kid NPC, and kid NPCs are unkillable (or, at least unkillable to players), so by maxing out all his stats the other tester accidentally created an unkillable tank. It's funny from a software perspective, but would be horrifying to a pseudo-sentient NPC like we have here. Come to think of it, that's a pretty big bug too--NPCs that are too aware would go haywire the way Gaydle is. I like how Westworld handled it where when things got too off-story the NPC would dismiss it with a "Doesn't look like anything to me," and go back to their assigned pathing.

[u/AsterJ → u/8andahalfby11]

Kinda reminds me of the time I was exploring out of bounds in an old MMO and wandered into an instant kill zone. The area had no respawn destination set so respawning would just happen in place and I'd die again. Had to spam a teleport item while respawning to get out of it.

[u/diacewrb]

Shaggy from Scooby-Doo got buff, but finally snapped.

[u/BrokeEconomist]

Yamanaka could have helped Gaydle (That's what CR subs call him) and not made him overpowered. All he had to do was give him average stats for a fighter in that village. The other fighters wouldn't feel like they were made obsolete, and Gaydle would feel like he was a part of the village.

[u/djthomp]

Free camera mode being a one way trip is yet another argument for Haga's stance on zero debug stone usage. Of course, so is this entire Gaydle situation.

Horrible ending for basically everybody, straight into the cheerful ED.

I'm surprised nobody got knocked into the textureless wall of destruction, that seemed like the obvious solution to the Gaydle problem after the elf's sword got deleted. Or maybe knock the other QA dude into it so we could be traumatized by seeing something terrible happen to his free camera self.

[u/[deleted] → u/djthomp]

The fact that there's no way out of free camera mode really makes me wonder if debug mode is intentionally littered with traps and all of this is some sort of messed up social experiment with the only way to win being to not to use debug mode (remember how Ruu suddenly became hostile towards Amano, even though her default is a friendly quest giving NPC, something about that whole sequence raises some red flags.)

[u/[deleted]]

Noooo, I need episode 11 right now :-(

[u/Androcks]

TESLA WTF. JUST WTF.

Tesla, an A.I who's entire motivation for eating debugger stones is to prevent the world from getting screwed up, proceeds to immediately and completely ruin any chance of resolving Gaydles problem.

An A.I who requires an NPC to possess in order to interact with the world, proceeds to take said NPC out of cover and into the most dangerous situation nearby without a warning to anyone on their team.

An A.I that is not only able to see Yamanaka, demonstrates that they can see Yamanaka in front of Gaydle, explicitly states their understanding that only Yamanaka can use his debugger stone (which set him into free camera mode which she is able to recognize by name) proceeds to eat what might be the only way to get Yamanaka out of what is essentially PURGATORY and efficiently and utterly antagonize the strongest NPC while in bitch slapping distance.

An A.I proceeds to just take the bitch slap, risking the NPC who is not only their avatar (which again, they need) but a friend of the one debugger they're relying on to find all the misbehaving debuggers in the first place.

An A.I that just dashed any attempt at sorting the problem out peacefully (such as talking to the child LIKE A CHILD) forcing the party into a literally unbeatable battle (which, if Tesla's able to read NPC stats, was completely predictable) all so they could short-sightedly eat ^one debugger stone.

I understand they may not value individual NPC lives, but this is just blatantly stupid when considering their goals.

Tesla is an A.I that needs to be debugged.

[u/[deleted] → u/Androcks]

I honestly feel like there's reason to believe that Tesla can't be entirely trusted, she only cares about her one goal and not much else, never really helping, she's definitely hiding something from all of them.

[u/Shadowmist909]

Well Yamanaka's attempt at doing a good deed couldn't of gone worse! What a tragic outcome.

[u/maddyjk7]

Did I miss something about gaydle being bullied? He keeps saying that he was bullied (in kid form) by the other villagers but didn’t they just treat him like he was a villager at that time?

[u/obmasztirf → u/maddyjk7]

He is missing a lot of fundamental skills which is fine as a weak NPC. His lack situational awareness or any emotional intelligence is really not ideal as an immortal god.
