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: [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.

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...

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.

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".

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.
