Is "being a housewife" a thing that real people really say, in this day and age. Just curious.

It's a pretty common goal in more conservative communities in the U.S., especially religious ones.

They seem like casuals (relatively speaking) so it's not like they'd be under the sights of a GoonSwarm like group. At best, ignored. At worst, collateral damage.

This is the funny thing about this show. The premise is these characters are all huge mmo nerds but their gaming habits are super duper casual relative to how far a lot of hardcore MMO players will go. They kind of reference this when they talked about the black magician's guild.

That's the funny thing about MMO players generally. The more hardcore a player someone is, the less time they likely spend on the game in any given week.

Of course, this is mostly describing modern western MMOs with progression caps. Back in the good old days, between world bosses, alternate achievement points, and so on, that effect was smaller.

More hardcore = less time spent really only applies to World of Warcraft and its successors/knockoffs like FFXIV 2.0 and Rift which are based around weekly lockouts of instanced content. This show is based around what amounts to Ragnarok Online, where you can definitely poopsock yourself to death.

I do worry that there will be a major tone shift at the final episode where they realize that they are not hardcore gamers but mere casuals. Ako and Rusian become a real life couple instead of just in game, go out a few times, figure out they're now normies and then they do The Final Meme: the overindulgence of bleach.

Hard swerve into a horror show as Ako realizes she's becoming a normie and completely snaps and turns into a serial killer.
