    Doing a webstream was actually hard work. For every hours worth of video she had to do a similar hour's worth of prep. Livestreaming required similar, though that was typically afterprep or deciding what to stream than editing and storyboarding. Kimi loved her job though. It was close to the...

    More power to you and thanks! I'm still getting like 50 likes on this. Which means probably about 200 or so reading it. I've gotten up to like 1000 on some fics. Just the nature of the beast.

    I blame the position it's in and the people bouncing off the source it's from. I'm fine with that at the moment.

    Iron Spirit had some complicated matchmaking. Very, very complicated matchmaking actually. Lilly didn't know the details. She just knew it was supposedly fair but had a bit of trouble when you got groups of more than five players. That was apparently a common game problem typically balanced by...

    Missed that! Thank you, and that actually doesn't hurt my plans at all then. Good to remember at least, and good to know PTW still exists in the future haha.

    Didn't know they did repair time too. That's understandable but how do they do it? I mean how do they measure the time if you know. Or if you know the vague chapter it's in I'll look it up.

    They were approaching the one month mark now. The time when the officials had said the testing should end. There were already signs that the MTA would extend it. Nothing obvious, but the officials did have uncomfortable looks occasionally. It was absolutely impossible for the MTA to be...

    There was something soothing about hitting an object with a bat. Bolt had never done it before, but when he'd looked for something to vent himself on, this had come up. Baseball was an old, old sport that had gone through a thousand and one changes. Through it all the central concept had stayed...

    Lilly had disliked The Undertaker. Well, that statement was a bit strong. She had enjoyed some of it, but Bolt had accidentally hit upon something she was bad at in the design. The girl was not someone that could direct a team at all. She was almost comically bad at it. She kept assuming that...

    "Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of Kimi's Cooky Cooking!" The VR streamer began with a smile and made a heart with her hands. "Here we look up the latest and most crazy trends in our favorite game, Iron Spirit! Be sure to subscribe to see more." The woman winked in the...

    The mecha don't do overheating but they do get heat damage. They also have coolant and so various things to vent heat. More advanced versions are space capable, so I assume their heat management is good. In this case the sudden cold is enough to cause some limbs to seize for a few seconds and...

    Four star mechs were just a tad below actually viable mechs. Outside the game, this meant they were old stuff, but they were old stuff within generational memory. The exact definition didn't matter to him ultimately. Bolt was doing this as practice and a thought exercise. He would need to...

    Bolt was a sweety. Lilly wasn't shy about admitting that. She still got surprised when he decided to give her something! She hadn't even heard of this whole video game stuff, and once he'd found out he'd literally had to spend a few hours helping her get through it due to her lack of ability to...

    He does. He does it differently as you can tell. His mecha have personality basically.

    Say what you will about the MTA, but they were generous when it suited them. Doubly so because he'd been invited, or ordered, to come in depending on your viewpoint. They wanted him cooperative, so he'd been showered with a veritable wealth of options. Crumbs from the MTA's viewpoint, but...
