    I really need to figure out how the TG gateway works because the subject on this looks ugly.

    I posted this cartoon because it's a recurring theme in LITRPG, ie the full immersion VR game environment and it's always bugged me the whole NPC thing.

    %HELP in Tg. ;) ..but your post seems to look as intended in
    Tg. Nothing wrong.

    Nothing new really. I've seen that dramatic trick used in
    cartoons (I remember one with Daffy Duck - Looney Tunes).

    It would seem that this is done when the writers have writer's
    block or something.

    Try with //subj: instead of //subject=

    I'm not sure what you're talking about. I was looking at the cartoon which talks about an NPC discovering that she is going to *end* because the she was a construct.

    I'm referring to the dramatic trick where the cartoon characters realize that they are simply creations of an artist's imagination and therefore not real. the Daffy Duck example has the artist toying with him and erasing his beak and drawing it somewhere else on his body. It's a funny segment.

    Ciao!
