The answer is obviously yes. Yes.

The SYSTEM... the MACHINE... very obviously kills real people.

That is the essence of it. It is an illusory trick. A kind of evil masquerade.

It is that which compels us to be unkind against the wishes of our hearts.

It is that which compels us to hate and fear that which we do not understand... instead of respect and learn from it.

...

Oh.

Hrm.

This is quite unexpected.

Well, as has been said...

The right man in the wrong place... can make all the difference... in the world.

:D

Quite a long time ago you ... apparently, completely randomly, out of the blue, somehow found my steam account and stated you could make Manhack-Arcade.

This... this was before we even had anything resembling a design document.

I mean, I... we are going to try to Manhack-Arcade. The way we want to.

Yet your ability to simply find me and just outright, completely devoid of context or qualifiers... just simply /claim/ that you can build Manhack-Arcade....


...

Who are you?
