[Oh hey guys; Chris hadn't really planned on making this post, and it's going to be a quick one, but he'd had a thought that seemed important to mention.]

So uh, just thought I'd remind everyone that awhile back I made an app that lets you send out an SOS if you're in trouble. It's pretty easy to set up, but if anyone needs help I can probably walk you through it.

[And it's surely obvious why this announcement is being made at this time.]

That's uh, pretty much it, but yeah. Stay safe, everyone, okay?

My friend Emily drew them, but yeah I coded them. Thanks.

[He enjoys the emojis a lot, personally, even if not everyone has been so enthusiastic about them.]

Yeah, I'm not uh... All that great about programming AI. It's got a multiplayer mode though, if you have friends who might post more of a challenge.

Really? I definitely need to test that. How good are you?

「Oh, buddy, if only Kaiba was here... He'd probably be telling this guy he's a third rate programming, who are we even kidding.」

What's your name anyway?

[thechoiceisyours]

I'm uh, not that great, since I don't really play, but Mello does.

[He's really good. As for the last question, Chris grins a little.]

Chris Hartley, of 'target of the evil space robots' fame. What's yours?

[puzzlingly]

Practice makes perfect.

「Play with him, buddy. Okay, he chuckles a little at that.」

Atem, 'king of games and antagonizer of said evil space robots'.

「What are they, twelve? Yeah, he's okay with that.」


(oops, programmer* mb)

From what I've heard, you only get 'perfect' at chess if you like, devote your life to it, but hey maybe it's worth a shot.

[Chris doesn't think too highly of chess, mostly because of the culture around it, but the game itself is okay he supposes.

He grins at the introduction.]

Nice to meet you, Atem. I uh, can guess on the space robots part of the title, but where'd the 'king of games' one come from?

[They're totally twelve.]

[puzzlingly]

It is not that hard, just gotta think ahead.

「He makes it sound so easy.」

Home, of course.

[thechoiceisyours]

And remember like, a million strategies.

[Which he absolutely doesn't have the patience for. And that last comment earns another grin.]

Okay, I probably should've guessed that, but uh... I more mean what exactly happened to get you a title like that.

[puzzlingly]

But that's part of the fun.

「Is he showing his weakness yet?」

... Just, won a couple tournaments and it happened.

「SHORT VERSION! He tries to sound so casual about it but, yeah no he sounds proud of it.」

[thechoiceisyours]

[Yeah, he guesses there's a lot more to the story than that, but he just laughs a little.]

Well, however you ended up getting it, it's a pretty swag title.

[puzzlingly]

Thanks. It doesn't mean anything here, but it's nice to hold onto something.

「And before he gets all sappy...」

Anyway, thanks or the help, Chris, but I hope I never have to use it. And you should make more games, just saying.

video.

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, no problem, and I uh... I hope you don't have to either.

[He really means that, but it's Hadriel so who knows what'll happen?]

I totally will; I'm trying to iron out the last weirdness in Tetris, actually.

[puzzlingly]

Which one is Tetris again?

[thechoiceisyours]

Tetris is the game with the falling coloured blocks you've got to fit together so you can clear rows. Sounds super boring but is actually really addictive.

[puzzlingly]

I'll believe you. If you need someone to test it lemme know.

[thechoiceisyours]

Awesome; I will totally let you know when I'm in the beta testing phase.

[puzzlingly]

Excellent! See you around then.
