Assuming everything about this is real and true. bear with me, I just woke up from a heat wave furnace torture chamber. Someone told me the temperature today was great, haha kill me. I think. I believe that it's impossible for people to lie on the internet, because I believe in an online god and he would not create liars.
I feel like "fate" is playing a pretty bad, terrible, prank on us by giving him the eye problems only after he was done with the tasks in his job or godot or whatever and not before. Only after he free up that schedule. Why not before? There is no reason, 0 reason why it would be impossible for that to not happen before. Besides, getting those days where he is even more available to work on the game probably required a lot of planning due to how much he was teasing it, I think some of it was a vacation at least? It's a lot of time. That doesn't make sense.
But personally, I don't see it as a prank. I think I see this as a cheap attempt at writing a poor story which is why I'll rate it one star. It's illogical, too convenient, like every scripted minecraft smp, it's stupid. One star, learn realism, or at least break it if it makes the story any better. Worst sin is that "fate" forgot accountability, they completely forgot the plot point where he created all of this available time that has not run out yet after so many months. "fate" sucks at this. I already know the end of the story too, psychological horror, "it's all in the head"- wait no, I am getting too pessimistic, I am sorry. I don't know what to expect at the end, but I don't like how it's turning out. I think the story was great until he started this "eyepatch" saga, it just stopped making sense there and some sins were commited. I hope the writers can somehow fix this in the future
