I'm still of the opinion that Thanatos is just taunting Orion because he thinks that the latter is beneath him. And given the revelation of this patch, it's more apparent that the reason he thinks so is not just because of experience, but because of their differing natures. Orion, for all his power-ups and such, is still tied to the "constraints" of his humanity. He can't stay in Eternum for long because he needs food and water and a good night's sleep to recharge for the next day. And he can't play too much because he has a life outside the game. Also, his stats are tied to his physical attributes in the real world, so unless he makes some gains in the real, he's pretty much fucked (though as of 0.5, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore given that it's implied that he's growing stronger by playing Eternum). Compare that to ol' Wyatt, who's basically dead in the real world. Which means he could basically stay in Eternum for as long as he likes, grow stronger and tougher without the physical constraints of his human body, and, since his "dead" status basically makes him invincible in-game (he likely can't feel pain,

, and would still keep going even after suffering wounds that could otherwise kill a person outright), it basically provides him with an unfair edge even to those who wield a Weapon of Atlas (so no, no one-shotting this one, Nova).So yeah, it's likely that Wyatt is gloating at the fact that he has all of these attributes that no other player will ever have, and no one - not even Orion - will be able to defeat him unless they "get on his level" - which he thinks they won't given that they have to literally die first in order to do so.

-Bilbo Baggins, LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring
Same effect, methinks. Bilbo hardly aged while he had the Ring, but he was slowly becoming more and more similar to a Ringwraith as he kept using it (Gollum was on his way in becoming such as well...though the Ring parted from him before he could even reach that point). By the time he parted with it, not only did his age catch up to him,

to the point that he had to be sent to the Grey Havens by the end of ROTK just to get treatment.So yeah, could be that Orion will start "fading" the more he taps into the power, both in body and spirit, until he ends up gone, possibly becoming akin to those creepy voices that he hears whenever some weird shit is about to go down.
(Would be funny if he or anyone in the cast (likely Dalia, since it's her favorite movie trilogy and all) references the quote if the revelation of the fingernails ends up being the case as mentioned above)

Agreed, agreed this a lot for food for thoughts, so allow me to "digest" it properly before continuing discussing it, but I tend to agree with you.
Ehm, I think the "Dorito" thing was caused by me, I confused the part at the photoshoot when Nova called herself a walking Cheetos and instead I used Dorito.. sigh...
I'm ashamed of myself misremembering the words of my Goddess...

Hey man what're you apologizing for, I'm just happy the cheeto with legs in your pfp is back! Although gotta admit Jinx was good too. And yeah idk why I wrote dorito. Let's pretend that didn't happen. DYLAN! YOUR LOVELY CHEETO PFP IS BACK!
First this thread was all about which girl had the best ass, then people started to discuss the hair color between family members, and finally the peak is speaking about the MC's finger nails.
Man I love this game.

It really lacks a girl that splits the community like Quinn does for the BaD community just to have more PR for the game.
The top girls are also obviously Alex and Luna.

Agreed Nova is the epitome of a chuunibyo imho.ohhh how did i miss that lol, love that anime

Just the last scene in the 0.5 with her giving a manga as a gift to Orion with them as characters was the perfect example of it ( or her breaking the 4th wall during the photoshoot, or the eye patch even though it's perfectly justified by her eye condition are the perfect trope for a chuunibyo character ) Caribdis did a fantastic work with her.

Well, technically we have a woman who divides the community. Regina. Only she's not an LI, she's a trap who closes a route and gives the player what he deserves.It really lacks a girl that splits the community like Quinn does for the BaD community just to have more PR for the game.

Not really...she is just an annoying bitch that will likely not even feature much in the game outside of 0.5, if she'll ever return at all.
Quinn in BaD is central for the story, appears all the time and seems to actually have at least a semi-path for the player to follow if he wants to, in which she slowly seems to open up towards the MC.
