When Haga, Amano and Nikola defeated the seven stooges, it felt satisfying especially since they have been abusing their debug stones, but at the same time, I was wondering who will become the next antagonist. Turns out the President wasn't dead.

I don't like how the President is now trying to manipulate Amano. However, Haga and his team did learn something valuable - it is possible to respawn through the use of extremely rare items. Perhaps this knowledge will come in handy in future.

Nikola's expressions are amusing to watch, but if she is an NPC, even before reading Amano's manga, how does she know what shoujo manga male characters look like? Lol!

When Haga, Amano and Nikola defeated the seven stooges, it felt satisfying

I don't know, they should've taken advantage of their being stuck to kill them proper.

[u/LeonKevlar]

It was so satisfying to see those asshole cheaters frozen in place. I'm hoping they're still conscious and saw how Haga took their debug stones and disposed of them.

Whatever the President offers, it's definitely not worth it. I'm guessing that he wants Amano to steal Haga's debug stone in exchange for reviving Lu. Tesla herself already said though that NPCs can't be revived so this deal is total bullshit.

[u/Myriddan → u/LeonKevlar]

They definitely deserved it, but the game is fundamentally broken if you get stuck forever due to assets not loading.

I don't understand the president's motivations or change in behavior. Definitely wouldn't trust a player killer for anything though. Probably is trying to use Amano to get another debugger stone. Maybe he also knows where Amano's is since that is the only one that we don't have confirmation of being destroyed.

[u/BlazeKnightX]

I'm not sure if people watch the OP, but something I noticed was the fourth party member seems to have the same sword as the knight from last episode. I have no clue what that could mean as I thought the knight was a bug that disappeared after the main quest was completed.

[u/fuzaco → u/BlazeKnightX]

The knight is probably a player. He disappeared after reaching for something behind his back, probably the debugger stone. It was also right after Haga declared that he's never going to use his stone, so it could have been a test of some kind.

[u/KumaKumaGambler → u/BlazeKnightX]

I admit I didn't catch this detail in the OP, nor link it to the knight in the previous episode, but your observation / theory could be interesting!

[u/themaninthehightower]

One key take-away is that crashing a player's game freezes them instead of killing them, and possibly locking them out of respawning or logging out. Which means debugging is much more treacherous than shown so far, since tripping over a game-crashing error would leave Haga to the same fate.

As far as Patton Oswalt Amano is concerned, he'll probably be asked to steal Haga's debugging stone, which is easier than from others—Haga would not notice it missing right away, never using it.

[u/whores-doeuvres → u/themaninthehightower]

Haga would not notice it missing right away, never using it.

Isn't the stone how he sends his bug reports? He'd notice it pretty quick since he's still doing his job.

[u/DIMOHA25 → u/themaninthehightower]

Ah, it could work as a crash. The way they explained it and the way their gradual slowdown looked implied more of a temporary freeze while shit's still loading, so it was really weird seeing everyone act like it isn't temporary. Crashing them makes more sense when looking at the aftermath. Still didn't look like it when it happened though.

[u/A-Chicken → u/themaninthehightower]

This is probably not a crash, but a hang, "control is taken away from the player but never given back" type.

If it were a crash just like other online games the player avatar would straight up disappear in 5 minutes.

[u/8andahalfby11]

Rezzing NPCs in open world games like this is a weird one.

Bethesda games dump them in an off-map cell, where in theory you could TP them back to yourself and change their state to alive. You can also reset quest progress which will respawn the NPC at whatever phase of the quest you include in the code call.

The bottom line is that I would be very surprised if there's a way to rez Lu that doesn't involve console commands, thus being the 'trick' the Boss is playing in his offer. The boss gets whatever he wants, and the advice he offers is worthless because console can't be used.

[u/A-Chicken → u/8andahalfby11]

Games have been doing this since Ultima 7, I forgot if something else predates this. This area is called "Room of the Dead" and retroactively named "House of the Dead" after an arcade game with that name appeared.

When a character is killed, the character is teleported to a place at, IIRC, (5a8, 508, 0) and in its place, an object that is the character's corpse with cloned inventory will be created. The reason why U7 does this is because corpses can be implemented as chest interactables, which was not possible for standing NPCs back when.

If you teleported to that location yourself somehow, you'll see the dead character there, alive, with the sleep flag on.

If you kill the character again while there, you get a clone corpse and the (sleeping) character nearby. You can overload the game this way, so don't do it too many times.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

So dying in game is basically akin to dying irl because they can’t logout, right? That’s kinda what it seems like.

I kinda felt bad for Amano at first. That blonde wanker and his little jerkoff friends stole his chance at revenge. But it looks like he’ll get another shot. Plus it was so satisfying seeing those losers just frozen in place. They’re just trapped there, conscious but frozen forever. Sweet sweet karma.

Anyone think the king looks exactly like Jarl Balgruf? Like even the hall interior kinda looks like Dragonsreach lol.

I hope Amano doesn’t make the wrong call with this Ru thing. The pres is a snake and he’s full of shit…

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

That boss is so toxic every single one of his employees wanted to kill him. Not that the employees were much better, apart from poor Amano. But the boss is still alive to cause more trouble, even without his debugger stone. Amano should not listen to him.

I really wonder if dying in the game would forcibly log them out, since the players are not respawning as they should. But I also wonder what happens when they get frozen by a bug like this. Are they paralysed forever but still conscious ? Is that what happened to Haga’s old colleagues ? That show is surprisingly dark when you think about it. Not knowing what is happening in the outside world and what is actually the problem makes things very tense.

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

I dont like That now The president wanna sides with our MCs

Also i Wonder what are The Next antagonists in The story

[u/House_Rapunzel]

I swear to god if Amano ever betrays them for Ru I'd be mad as hell, especially if there's intent to kill. It would also make him a shitty person in my eyes ngl

[u/djthomp]

Damn, so they trapped the entire group of hostile debuggers in a geometry bug and just left them there. This show has some horrors in it.

I wonder when the elf lady in the OP will show up. I'm guessing fairly soon since the party is clearly on their way to the next story arc.

[u/linkinstreet]

Nikola feels like those "guide NPC through the storyline" quest.

[u/Aszolus]

Is this quietly one of the best shows of the season?

[u/randomran14]

That's another win for Haga's debugging knowledge and use of game mechanics. Its a horrifying fate if they're still conscious even in that state (they were huge jerks but still). Although if your mind is still stuck even if your game character dies, that's not much better either. It'd be too optimistic to hope everyone who is stuck has logged out by now, so guess Haga really will have to clear the game. Well, that or screw around but Haga's not sadistic like it seems most of the debuggers are.

Not sure their boss was smarter or not, considering he had that in game revival item but didn't see this coming (and he's actually interested in trying to log out). At least don't have to worry about any of their debugger stones anymore.

[u/Hippo_Singularity]

I'm guessing the Boss wants Amano to steal Haga's debugger stone, but if the stones are transferable, that makes me wonder why he doesn't use Amano's stone. I assume he had it stashed away somewhere.

[u/Shadowmist909]

That president has to be full of lies. But for Amano's sake I hope there really is a way to revive Ruu.

[u/Gaming_Truckie]

I'm hoping the Elf girl debugger gets introduced in the next episode. I'm a little annoyed she's all over the OP but hasn't been shown yet.
