      @@ThePigasaurus I have met people that dress like an edgy fictional character that make these sorts of bold, absurd declarations about their abilities. For some reason it is also common for them to start a sentence, stumble over it, then restart it with nearly the same inflection. It doesn't seem like "pretends to be an anime character" and "has a brain thing that makes their dialogue glitch out" would necessarily be bundled traits but I've anecdotally encountered them together in almost every instance (albeit with a very small sample size, thankfully, although it's still weird this has happened more than once), and apparently Spence has had a similar enough experience to include that detail here as well.
