The legit boring part is Tohru paying so much attention to his own thoughts.

What a whiny young NEET, he gets paid good money for playing games, does it two days and seriously wants to quit. Imagine him working in a factory job or digging roads.

Sadly, I foresee chronic unemployment followed by suicide in this timeline. It ended badly for him in a number of others, iirc.

He'll be wishing he'd seduced the lovely Princess for cheap after work thrills instead.

Yeah if I wanted action I'd read literally any other comic. NEET is like a pitch drop experiment in graphic form and I am here for it.

a consistent character attribute of NEET in all timelines is that he is highly capricious

his mood and opinions turn on a dime

Or the bug he reported previously meant the combat routine's been rewritten and now he has to start from scratch.

I was referring to Tohru's thoughts while software testing, telling himself how bored he was. No task in itself is boring, a doer with sufficient self awareness can choose either relaxed concentration on the task at hand, or resentful boredom.

So I'll stay the gently caress in, and you can chill the gently caress out, f you choose, or whatever.

I always enjoy the comic, and like you I'm hooked and will follow it to the end, thanks Sister & Brother et al for the fine translations.

In fairness if you're having difficulty with your attention this is hell. I often work at night because I need to be in a zone where I'm too tired to get distracted or anxious to get things done. Doing Q&A work 9/5 would probably kill me.

Could be that they have a deal going with another publisher to exchange games and let the testers and pretty much anyone else at the company have a go and give simple input. I remember a friend of mine worked QA at Funcom and would sometimes get payed to try out alphas and betas of games from other Norwegian companies with no strings attached.

Sorry for the delay, I was thinking this same thing and thinking I mistranslated because it seems really weird to have your employees review your own games, but the rest of the panels seem to agree that's what's happening, so I don't know. Someone else can take a look, maybe I made a mistake.
She specifically says he will "monitor" the game.

I haven't heard of QA explicitly being told to like, write a review for a game or anything, but developers can ask QA for feedback on game design and balance and such. Not often, but it does happen. But since this game is finished, it's far too late to implement any feedback, unless its for a sequel or something.

It could also just be a Mandatory Fun style thing.
