Join us next time as 9S falls down the tower again, well either that or the Network gives him a wedgy.


So, how long until the ghost girl shows up again?

Approximately X updates, where X equals the number of updates until the ghost girl shows up again.

Peeps have already gone on about Kyle completely selling 9S's descent into insanity, but I wanna bring a little appreciation to just how well he managed to convey his weary heartbreak in the elevator ride.

Him interrupting Pod 153's "but why tho" spiel was a nice little touch, I felt.

But seriously...

Surely there's nothing else the machine network can do to 9S. Nothing more up its sleeve. It must be bored with ol' Nines by now, anyway. It'll probably even apologize to him.

I don't understand what going bonkers killing things in these towers is supposed to do against the disembodied voice of the machine network in the first place but he gets points for trying I guess

And the blending of android love and sadism is complete. That's the chilling thing about Kyle's acting here: 9S is still very obviously in love with 2B even as he butchers her copies. His tone is uncomfortably close to lust.

It's like Taro saw the usual "stake the loved one" plot beat and said, "that's really hosed up! Lemme show you."

The machines set them up and at this point 9S just wants to break anything that the machine network has made.

Waaaaaaay back when Jackass mentioned that a core part of android programming was that violence generated a feeling akin to love. And...well...she wasn't exactly wrong given this...

Similarly it makes me appreciate the cleverness of censoring one single word. Your mind is basically trained by Drakenier to go immediately to the gutter, which helps hide the other things it could be.

Dear Nines,

By the time you read this, I will be dead. Here's how I think it's going to happen. A2 will stab me, then you will try to stab A2 and fall down a pit. Then you will stab a digital copy of me inside your own mind. Then A2 will stab 21O and you will try to stab A2 again and fall down a pit again. Then you will stab multiple copies of me multiple times, one of which will explode.

Love,
Your partner 2B

P.S. Then a bunch of robot children will read this and stab each other.

It's also the result of a bit of cultural dissonance, apparently.
Here in the US, we associate those symbols with censoring vulgar language (sometimes for laughs).
But in Japan, it is meant solely to HIDE words, and thus build speculation.

Kind of clever how this game found a way to tackle that.

And the word censor should appear weird by then given that the game said "gently caress" uncensored already. Why would they suddenly become swear-word prudish? The sexual nature of this particular usage? Maybe Adam himself had become a super prude? Either way it should have you wondering.

Yup. And yet, it's totally in keeping with both the series' blunt sexuality and the game itself.

Wait, where? I'm genuinely curious because I could almost swear the game doesn't actually have a single gently caress anywhere in sight

So, I forget if TDI showed this off, and I'm not sure if he's going to, but P&D sell an absolutely AMAZING chip for 9S when you play as him. I won't say what it does, in case it will be shown off, but if it won't be shown its simple enough to describe.

I only remembered because someone mentioned P&D's amazing homemade chipsets a little while ago.
