** It wasn't until I actually tried playing a DatingSim that I realized that Piro's actions make a lot more sense than they did before. Notice how he repeatedly assures himself that Ping is just a robot, Yuki is too young, Miho is evil and that he doesn't like Erika in that way, often when directly asked about it by others. And remember that he thinks he's in a DatingSim scenario (to be fair, he kinda ''is''). These actions imply that he's actively trying to get Kimiko's route and not someone else's, and it may also mean that he ''doesn't'' really think this way: he could believe Ping is much more human than she should be, but is afraid of what would happen if he says it. Hell, this means he may think the world is a game more than Largo does! And yes, this train of thought scares me a little... -- ShotgunNinja
*** I was looking over the last few strips, and saw [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/1224 this one]]. Now, at first, I thought Erika talking to Boo was just showing Erika "seeing things Largo's way" with a gag about Boo being TheUnintelligible. Then I actually thought about the subject of their conversation, of Largo's recent actions, and of Boo's gradual loss of screen time, and it hit me: Erika, in a more mundane sense, is also Largo's conscience. Fred, you're a genius. -- {{Callix}}
*** Largo shouting, "Go for the beer, Boo! Go for the beer!" at his hamster Boo in an early strip: it took me a year before I realized that this is a reference to the hamster Boo in Baldur'sGate, whose owner Minsc often shouts in combat, "Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes!" -- Vendel
*** An entry in ValuesDissonance says how people from Japan are generally more shy when it comes to romance and physical contact, so something like [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/953 two people hugging]] would be considered a much more romantic act to someone from Japan. -- ShotgunNinja
**** In fact Yanagisawa-Sama refers to that as "makin' out" a few pages later.
*** When I first read [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/859 this strip]], I didn't think anything of it outside of "Largo being oblivious/repeating what he said before". The second time wasn't much different. A few days/weeks/months/[[WebcomicTime god knows how long]] I decided to go back through the archives after reading the strip where Erika came onto Largo, stopping for bed at the aforementioned page. I hadn't yet hit the mattress when I realized something: Largo (said) he "doesn't play games that aren't worth playing;" yet, he "played" Erika's "game" (twice, first after the fanboy attack, and coming back after he'd marked her off as "a boring game"). Largo's telling Erika that "he doesn't play games that aren't worth playing", combined with the previously mentioned incidents and Largo's average displayed social ineptitude, meant that, for Largo, it was the best way to tell Erika he liked her. Well-played, for a CloudCuckooLander. -- Bladist
