So you're saying that Roy's dialogue in this comic is meant to be an indirect reference to game mechanics? I don't find that particularly convincing, given that just three panels prior Roy does explicitly mention a bunch of game mechanics, but even if it is correct, why would Roy have described his list as complete when it wasn't?
