Re: Higher res old pages?
Invisigoth is right. All of MT is Megumi's creation, including the UnMod and Endgames layers. She did this because she destroyed the original MT. She forgot this, but is feeling terribly guilty about the destruction hence the terrible time she's having in a world of her own creation. Truth to tell, ...

Re: [1585] rest and recovery
Odd thoughts that almost certainly won't actually happen in the comic ... What happens when (certain really crazy elements of) the N.P.C. find out that Piro has besmirched the purity of their idol? (K-Pop performers have a lot of trouble with this kind of thing). I wonder if they'll want to charge t...

Re: [1582] your lucky day
Bad call, Glasses Guy.
Although I am starting to believe there really is a hex on Megumi.

Re: [1577] cheating
I have some completely unjustified speculation.
The New Guy (does he have a name yet? Japanese for New Guy is Atarashī otoko) is under a similar constrainment curse as Megumi. Them falling in love will break each other's curse, resulting in an *extremely* interesting morning after.

Re: [1568] making it up
Now I'm wondering if Stability was behind Erica's breakup.
Miho gets involved in Girl Phase in a way that lets her re-tell her story. Stability sees this as a threat, with someone as powerful as Miho changing her story. So Stability decides to derail Girl Phase by wrecking Erica's life.

You are destroying my beautiful theories with your ugly, ugly facts. Still, it's a little weird that we can't...

Why can't we see Yaku's face? Why isn't Yaku talking in a way that we can hear? It seems like Miho can hear Yaku just fine; it's just that we can't. Speculation: We are still in Moe-space. Largo, Erica, and Miho have identities in Moe-space; Yaku doesn't. Or perhaps in the new story line of 'Erica c...

Re: [1560] A story that needs to be put away
If Erika follows through with this, and puts the anime team back together to finish the story -- well, she won't be Erika any more. I think she could do it -- the power of Moeko's story still has critical resonance now, and the story of the voice actress who left and came back is going to be too goo...

It's been what, 10 years at least since Moeko talked to anybody? No wonder she's acting a little nutso.

Re: [1558] Getting through
I've been going through old strips, and cam across https://megatokyo.com/strip/278 Megatokyo has always had multiple parallel realities running side by side, depending on what an individual person can or wants to experience. We're just seeing a rather extreme example of that here. Largo doesn't care...

The big question question is: Is Moeko taking over Erika or is Erika playing Moeko? My answer is: there's a difference? We've found out before https://megatokyo.com/strip/1519 that there's a pretty strong link between a magical girl / real thing / whatever and the actress that player her. There may ...

Re: [1551] A little rough
Being a monster is no less complicated than being a mtyhotypical person :) O think I just invented a word …..or you meant to say "mythological". Who knows? ;) Or perhaps "mythotypical": not one of the classes of mythological being, hence the assumed standard human type. See also "mythophobic".

Ping certainly nukes the Turing Test. If we want to say Ping isn't sentient, then it becomes an issue if Largo is sentient or not. Largo may be a bad example here.

Re: [1549] The sum of our parts
You may be being a little hard on Dr. Gero. Consider: suppose you want to build a Ping. You'll need to understand how personalities work. Because we are human, we'll need to break human personalities down into component parts so we can simulate them. That's how humans think about things. Then we go ...
