Hey guys!

[Comes Rhys' familiar voice, annoying as ever as the camera flips on. He's sitting in his disheveled bedroom, clearly a little sleep deprived, but accomplished and seemingly triumphant all the same.]

I wanted to wait until I was sure that there's nothing bad going on before releasing my next game. Are you guys ready for it? It's Mrs. Pac-Man, and it took me forever because- well, funny story actually, it's really easy to code the ghosts to take the shortest route to get to you and kill you, but it's kind of harder to program in other difficulty levels where it's not super tough, and so I was looking into it and developed this nifty algorithm for the easy and medium difficulties, and-

[...and he's getting ahead of himself and saying shit that nobody cares about. At least everyone totally has time to listen because nothing bad is going on!]

-well, anyway, it's a really cool game about a badass lady sphere. You can all download and play it, but uh, I'm gonna need at least five of you to give it a shot.

Have at it!

Well, I think most of the people here haven't...

But seriously! It's not that big of a deal, right?

text

[skelebro]

nah.
in fact, i think just about everyone wants a little entertainment with their apocalypse.
i mean, my roommates do.
they're already embarking on a competition.

text

[hybridification]

They are?

I guess it's not so bad then, if people are still having fun with it.

text

[skelebro]

sure.
it's a decent distraction, right?
most people who ain't out in the streets don't have much else to do.

btw i'm hearing some requests for a leaderboard add-on.

text

[hybridification]

Yeah, that's a feature that I'm working on now! Before Tetris, even.

[skelebro]

bless your SOUL.

[hybridification]

You know, most of my other responders to this post would tell you that I don't have one.

[Interesting. 'Specially since the guy looks pretty human. But that ain't necessarily an indicator as to species, he knows that pretty well by now.]

why's that?

text

[hybridification]

It's... like an insult, man. They think I'm insensitive.

text

[skelebro]

yeah, but are they talkin' literally or what?
last i checked, all humans have 'em.

text

[hybridification]

No, it's a metaphorical insult...

Wait, are you serious? You're sure about the existence of a soul, which science has been unable to definitively prove for thousands of years?

text

[skelebro]

nah, for real.
we gotta whole scientific branch devoted to human SOULs.
my pal was studying them.

text

[hybridification]

You're fucking with me.

Right?

text

[skelebro]

nope.
i'm one hundred percent serious.
which isn't something i say often, by the way.

text

[hybridification]

Would you say that right now you're... bone faced?

You know

instead of stone faced.

Like, all serious.

[Aw, crap. Now he's makin' horrible jokes. Nothin' warms him up quicker, goddamnit, that's just cheating.]

heck yeah.
guess i ain't the ulna one who can crack a few.

text

[hybridification]

Haha! No you aren't!

I'm glad we can appreciate one another's mastery of language :)

text

[skelebro]

yeah, see?
you can't be that bad if you like jokes.
