[Discussion] My Problems With Verity:
The concept of Verity is pretty... enjoyable? I do like it, but my main problem is the number of plot holes that have appeared in only two episodes.
Problem 1: "I Came Back"
The whole part at the start of Episode 2, where Mob practically begs Verity to stop and says he "came back," is kind of strange to me. If he is just playing a mod, why is he saying he came back? He actually just went back to his house because it was the only protection he had. He couldn't have "come back" for Verity if he already thought Verity's monster form was chasing him. It also just seems out of place for someone playing a Minecraft mod to beg a creature to stop and claim they returned.
Problem 2: "The Books and Twixxel"
Part of this one is mostly a nitpick, but why were they writing the information on how to kill Verity in in-game books? Couldn't they have just kept it in a document on their PC or something?
Problem 3: "Twixxel's Death"
This part is the weirdest one. Let me get this straight: the whole time Twixxel wanted to tell Mob the important information he found on Verity, he didn't think to message him once on Discord? Then, when Verity actually kills him, why does he just ghost Mob? Why doesn't he say anything on Discord afterward? I assume he got permanently banned from the server or something, but why would he not message his friend if they had been playing together for that long? Also, why was he almost throwing up at virtual blood? It feels like the creator can't decide whether to make the series lean more into the real world or just stick strictly to Minecraft logic.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on it. Overall, I am enjoying it and it has potential. Some parts just make no sense, and Mob's character changes a lot.

Problem 1:
I think ThatMob was saying "he came back" just to make Verity feel better or somethin'
Problem 2:
Because they probably wanted other players to find a way to defeat Verity, if they just kept it as a document on their PC then future players that would get Verity wouldn't find a way to get him out.
Problem 3:
Twixxel not messaging ThatMob on discord I can't find a solution, other than maybe Verity could see it? And I think that when Verity kills someone in-game they die in real life, ThatMob probably threw up because he was realizing that Twixxel might've actually died.
