He looked at the camera and walked where they told him, but otherwise, yes. No acting involved.

Wow, Keanu Reeves is pretty cool.

i kno rite
Well, actually, the bosses I made could survive Mankai!Mio and not fuck you all over for it.

Damage Reduction is OP, bro

Oh yeah, thanks for that tip.

Christina's salty that no one wants to further fuck up her lower body.

"Alright. Sounds reasonable enough. Also, off switch is probably a no unless it's installed with blue tooth or something."

"Yeah... you should try finding nymphs. Just as horny but less likely to kill you."

Yes, but there's a difference in that at least with those things you can control your helplessness, this is the equivalent of a game forcing you down a certain path and you not even getting to play it.

That's why I'm advocating prior-warning before deployment being mandatory. Because it means that it becomes possible to exercise control over the situation, set yourself up and position yourself so that you force the game to take a path you want, even if you aren't directly controlling yourself for that turn.

Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that, unless you kill yourself before hand and maybe not even then, you're not controlling your character for one or more turns.

I mean, it's not a railroad. Even without Green Storm, Steve really could just fry your brain to death. Like, perma-death. Poof, gone. And you're complaining now that the implant is a problem? That's a little silly. And, over the course of its existence (The entire goddamn game) it has been used a total of one time. To destroy a creature two AoW's can't kill. And, I believe, it was requested that Steve do something to help kill that goddamn thing, so it was asked for, in a sense.

It was asked for I will concede, but not by the people who it was used on. And having something that instantly kills your character for real is bad but PW finds that he needs it, and with good reason. He doesn't need to control the players directly at any point.
