He's claiming he had a role similar to Crumb in that game, and I don't remember that....but maybe it was just because I was too wrapped up in CATCHING ALL THE BADDIES HAHAHHAHHAAHHAH.
Regardless, there is NO REASON that Golden should be pushing back so crazily against this idea of Mac's because, like, it has literally been done in an Epi game before. So Golden suggesting Mac is wrong is fine....but suggesting that the whole idea is preposterous is......preposterous.
And to be honest, I actually agree with Mac that the whole real-life-personal-ethics bets should be off the table. Dog bets, too, but I give less shits about those.
I agree that Golden's dismissing is over the top, but Golden and Mac are beyond tunneling each other at this point. I don't know why I keep reading it.
However, Epi is not a one-trick pony. He almost never introduces a power and then re-introduces it as the exact same thing. So I think the true answer lies somewhere in between "there is a laugh mechanic exactly like in Roger Rabbit" and "there is no such thing, that's crazy".
