「NationwideSlaveBoast: Just one thought I've had while watching from the start—the host fights so damn well. Totally different from those other channels that shove in DLC bait everywhere... It's like he has killer instincts?」
[matsumin gifted 300 stars.]
「matsumin: His situational judgment is top-notch. I never expected him to use a smoke grenade like that in the changing room earlier. And just now, using the monsters as shields? Our Winter's got a sexy brain too. EhehE. (*´▽｀*)」
「TattletaleBaldy: Gotta admit, he doesn't rely on pay-to-win. Acting skills on point too. Looked genuinely depressed when he saw that dead guy.」
「matsumin: Acting? From what I saw, he was really depressed.」
「Jjarappappa: Huh?」
「matsumin: It was different from his usual expressions.」
「BlanketParkDangerHyE: Different? How? In what way?」
「matsumin: Uh... In what way... Um... You just know when you see it... You guys really don't get it? Was it just me? (;´д｀)」
「BlanketParkDangerHyE: You get that vibe from his whole face? Lolol」
「matsumin: Yes! Kinda like that!」
「BillyHerrington: No clue. ^^」
「HellPro: 22222222」
「20sRetiree: 33333333」
「AppDummy: Matsumin sis seems a bit off. Her taste in guys was never normal to begin with...」
「matsumin: Hing.」
「SALHAE: Whatever, sad I can't see Yura anymore. She looked so pretty smiling with a gun.」
「SALHAE: Wonder when the mask comes off next.」
[SALHAE gifted 100 stars.]
「Eektta: Outta nowhere. Anyone hearing that would think the host got dumped lololol」
「DolceWentThere: Ah, what? Went to feed the kid and missed all the fun parts. Should I rewind the digest...? Hate when the flow breaks. Pissed off. -_-」
「MugujeongClownAmazing: Feeding it yourself? How old?」
「DolceWentThere: Three. Cries nonstop, total pain. Won't eat for shit. Mother-in-law just yaps, won't help. Fucking sick of it. Damn.」
「BlackCat: Hands-on feeding cat? World, no one does that anymore cat. Why suffer like that cat? Stick 'em in a nurture pod—plays, feeds, sleeps, exercises, even cleans shit cat.」
「JoseonDynastySeal: Yup. Had two, tossed 'em in and ignored. But first one's almost due out. Sigh. How do I raise that? Grew up watching me and hubby, but I haven't seen the kid in 5 years. Thinking about it is awkward as hell. Got the subsidy, can't just send it off.」
「DolceWentThere: Wanna do that too... But my psycho mother-in-law says no pods. Had three for kid-tech, but she's making it hell. Ask why, just says it's obvious. Blind to the times. Hubby's on my side but grovels cuz she's mom. Fucking idiot. Hope the old hag croaks soon.」
「OlympicGoldMedalNut: Mom-dissing overload. But what's kid-tech?」
「NoNickDissing: Kid + finance-tech.」
「OlympicGoldMedalNut: Lmao? Finance with kids? Possible?」
「DoomchitDoomchit: Yeah possible. Birth bonuses paid out. Vacation too.」
「OlympicGoldMedalNut: Dude, nurture pod's a VR terminal. What about the cost? Expensive af?」
「BlackCat: Not buying cat. Community center rents 'em cat. Rental fee passed to kid cat. Pays back as adult cat. Not mandatory but everyone does cat. Up to third kid cat. No limit before, abused too much cat. No-work kid-farming cat. Rare not to know, why don't you cat? Joseon-Chinese cat?」
「OlympicGoldMedalNut: Cut that shitty cat-speak? Dickhead, not Joseon-Chinese, I manage 'em. Dealing with foreign scum is hell. No time to check that crap.」
「HardGay: No time to check? Nah, no time to date.」
「Mustafa: Can't date, marriage's a pipe dream.」
「HellPro: No marriage dream means no reason to check kid stuff.」
「NitrogenPack: Aigoo, poor Olympic dickhead.」
「LyeoGwonNaraU: Buncha evil fucks lololol hit him like pros lololol」
「OlympicGoldMedalNut: Thanks assholes ^^」
「BlackCat: Decent cat. Romance-marriage declining anyway cat. All contract-marriage cat. You can get your own she-cat cat. Probably a loser but hang in there cat. Some she-cat out there likes losers like you cat.」
「InnateClaw: Comfort or insult, pick one lololol」
「BlackCat: No choice cat. Insult then cat.」
「InnateClaw: What's no choice lolol show cat dick lol」
「EkWookConserve: DolceWentThere auntie's pitiful too. Extra suffering cuz of boomer bug lolol」
「matsumin: Hmm... Not unnecessary suffering, more like worthwhile effort? Split 50/50 in Japan too. Some do, some don't. Contempt's wrong!」
「SnowFox: Kids need hands-on parents. That's love, right?」
「NoNickDissing: Agree. Bad for emotional development too.」
「EkWookConserve: What're these retard combo breakers. Love ok whatever. What's bad for emotions? Hear dentures clacking from here. Gramps got a body?」
「NoNickDissing: Not gramps age yet. And you think virtual persona replaces parents? I say no.」
「EkWookConserve: So why no etc dumbass lolol Don't know it's sub-routine of post-insurance control AI? World's best AI babysitting beats hack parents obviously. Verified program, no human errors. Understand?」
「NoNickDissing: You're the one who doesn't get it. Infants under 5 got proper TOM? Trinity Engine virtual parents lack human depth. Active search module + mystery third module can't make deep personality.」
「NitrogenPack: Lmao knows one misses two. Depth lacking yes. But why need depth for kids? They know jack. Kid dropping philosophy? Toddlers just need peekaboo and rockabye done?」
「NitrogenPack: When they start knowing stuff, parents pick up anyway. Post-pod infant mortality dropped big after system. Birth rates up?」
「EkWookConserve: Yup facts. Parents feeding? Hard to balance nutrition. Higher illness risk. Kid talking and out? Parents so relieved? Advanced system, yet y'all lowering national dignity. Spouting old crap, all Jeolla folks probs.」
「ShitDangdang: Don't diss Jeolla fucker -_-」
「EkWookConserve: Yes your next fermented skate.」
「ShitDangdang: Ugh worm bastard.」
「SnowFox: …….」

「groseillier noir: Hey, Koreans. Don't think your gov's childcare system's bad per se, but shouldn't consider parents' side too?」
「HellPro: What baguette?」
「groseillier noir: That lady up there said her kid feels like a stranger. Parents shouldn't do that. 5 years later first sight? Toss in machine right after birth? Never pull out midway?」
「MugujeongClownAmazing: Pulled quarterly for checks. Nutrition top-up. But Health Ministry handles, clinic staff comes.」
「groseillier noir: Nah, can't be. Need time to bond with kid.」
「Ephraim: Eh. Your point's valid, but seems perfect for them.」
「groseillier noir: Why?」
「Ephraim: Look at this chat.」
「groseillier noir: ……!」
「Mitsiel: What convo is this?」
「NoNickDissing: Imagine these folks as parents?」
「matsumin: wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ」
「AppSoonI: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Sad...」
「Grade9CivilServant: Lmao see that Filipina bitch talk?」
「PizzaObviouslyRight: Yeah these here are retards, but not all Koreans.」
「RealDog: That's your hope.」
「PizzaObviouslyRight: Might grow up when parents? Instincts like paternity, maternity exist.」
「RealDog: Your hope too.」
「PizzaObviouslyRight: Fuckin foreigner. No patriotism?」
「RealDog: Nah, what. No such thing.」
「DewCrocodile: True...」
「PizzaObviouslyRight: What's true...」
「EkWookConserve: All boomer bugs' fault. Won't enter columbarium, drag on, problems. Gov do nothing? Not yanking brains. Force it country-wide. Then cry abuse of power?」
「NitrogenPack: Agree. Stuck mindsets crowding next gen, ugly staying real. If rich ok, but pathetic aging exactly that.」
「50YearsLingerer: Hey,,,you fucks,,,you'll age too,,,gov force-extract your brains,,,bet you'd love that,,,fuck,,,family crumbles,,,society crumbles,」
「EkWookConserve: I'd love it? Please yank mine.」
「DolceWentThere: Fr my mother-in-law needs force-extract. Not bad, why fear? Thought y'all agree but nah. You braindead fucks, try raising one. Constant crying how annoying? Agh, can't sleep nights.」
「SnowFox: I raised one. Want to. Be together, hold tiny hand... You don't get it. No qualification to parent.」
「DolceWentThere: Lmao what talk lolol qualification? lolol Birth makes parent, born makes kid.」
「SnowFox: "Born upon"? What talk? Better not born than make life worth regretting!」
「DolceWentThere: Yo fox bitch. No love marriage, why love kid? Hilarious lolol Love's luxury emotion. Live without.」
「SnowFox: Your kid's so pitiful. What suffering ahead...」
「Storm224: Eh. Grateful born into great world now? Born pre-post-insurance? Ugh, death ends it?」
「Storm224: Birth opens eternal existence chance. Live hard no suicide, low-grade enshrinement guaranteed. Parents dirt-poor but I'm grateful. Fr. ㅇㅇ」
「Grade9CivilServant: Agree. Overcoming death huge blessing. Meeting dead huge joy? We live happy world.」
「SALHAE: Meet dead? No visit no way. Needs permit. Too hassle basically impossible. At best "Teletype" chat. No host, nada.」
「Grade9CivilServant: Security issue unavoidable. Post-insurance chasers many? More data to post-insurance riskier. More resources for scans, quality drops inevitable.」
「SALHAE: Ugh dunno. Wanna meet host once but no balls.」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: Why?」
「SALHAE: Face-to-face beg.」
「DongmakgolSmiGol: For? Sex? Lmao mad devotion.」
「SALHAE: No... Well, kinda. Want Yura. Sex not goal, but if happens perfect.」
「JessicaFullTime: How'd she end up like this.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Oh, SALHAE. Total otaku. Obsessed unreal girl. Hahaha.」
「SALHAE: Need comfort. Warmth. Why Yura? Don't even know why...」
「NoNickDissing: Isn't that what liking is?」
「NoNickDissing: Used to be eras love at first sight normal.」
「NoNickDissing: That damn DLC caricatured it. Reduces to love at first sight always. Everyone enjoys, perception shifts.」
「FaithUnity: Mortal. Romeo Juliet era over.」

#gag
Hm. Had a gag prepped but... pushing to next.
#Oh right.
Columbarium now on Naver Enstore. Up to 126.
Forgot to mention.
#Q&A
Q. qoewh: @Author, know Dead Space? Main game player does, but black幕 event always behind. Columbarium gives chills re creator. Sorry detective-ing, but those "few dead" original creators—natural death or not? Just that!
A. Some natural, some accidents. :)
Q. EpKna: @Chat-haters probably waited for story but endless chat, right? Solution: author double-post. Haha
A. Wanna but...haha...lacking skill...
Q. nuroop: Deep questions. Man-eaters turned monster, monster-eaters stayed human. Anyway, final clear condition?? Current novel active civilian zones/survivor cities? Asia/Europe etc. Islands like Philippines..
A. Clear when control AI sim puts humanity extinction at 0%. / Many survivor cities now. Gov-held nations plenty. Philippines many islands, gov fled but mainland safe zones remain. Unmanaged, gov unaware.
