homeless and probably VERY rough sob

The hell's the matter with you?

Just- just look at half these places, they don't even got computers, let alone an internet connection. Probably have to walk halfway to Mordor if I want to get myself a damn soda, too, just look at all the crap everyone in these games has to put up with, man. What'd I even do to you to make you wanna do anything like this?

...No, just because half the people out there are from video games doesn't make it worth it. I wanna see them, I can pull up a computer chair and get it going somewhere I'm not gonna get shot in the head, or get a sword in the chest, or someone hitting me with some damn poison, or nothing like that. Ain't worth it, man. Ain't worth it.

I don't know how so many of these places can even run without computers and internet...

Hell to the yeah, you're feeling me, girl. What's a world without computers? Use. Less. That's all it is, especially for a guy like me.

[That's close enough to his world that he has to feel for anyone trapped in a low-tech place just as much as her.]
