I love/hate how the announcement at the end of chapter 30 of The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook is a giant fuck-you to crawlers—and I feel especially to Carl. (SPOILERS)
They’re going to scatter the crawlers more thoroughly next floor unless they were in a party prior to this announcement. I guess it’s “nice” that they even gave the crawlers the announcement about this. But it’s to counter how well so many of them banded together and coordinated on the fourth floor (which Carl accelerated by the mass chats).
Private chats are now semi-public to the audience, allowing for more outside interference. Less security.
And the last one, the one where people can no longer store uncontained liquid in their inventories, was definitely personal. Fuck your personal space, Team Donut. It wouldn’t surprise me at all that they just threw that patch in during the recap episode while watching Katia clean the house.
From a cinematic perspective, I do find the blood explosion really funny and terrifying in a dark humorous way—Katia can’t be seen as blood flies out from her in every direction, she’s probably screaming in terror along with Carl, Donut and Mordecai (who just got here, welcome back dude), Mongo’s doing his “The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music” impression at the raining blood, it looks like the blood geyser scene from Nightmare on Elm Street meets Beverley in the bathroom scene from IT (2017) meets the blood wave from the elevator in The Shining and gods know what else … and then when it finally stops, Katia is the only clean person in a drenched, filthy room.
But, despite Borant’s efforts, Carl is still analyzing loopholes.
