The voices in hell are explaining it to you(the player). Quote dosnt listen cause time stops when the message is displayed thus Quote cant hear a message that fast.

Time "stops" during every dialogue in the game.

Deny as you will, but this argument is just false.

I meant that it would be Pixel breaking the fourth wall within his own game. No-one breaks the fourth wall in order to tell the player some backstory.
That's called exposition. It's actually very common. It's not considered "breaking the fourth wall," especially in this case, since there's not really any specific person saying it.

Your turn. Prove that he is talking directly to the player.
The dog-ghost just before Ballos repeats the main points of the story the Hell narration gives, in order for Quote to hear it.

That was my point. I said that if it was a voice talking to Quote, something I disagreed with from the start of this thread, it would be pointlessly breaking the fourth wall. My point was that such a thing wasn't the case and that the so-called voice was just a narration and that Quote doesn't hear it.

Oh and welcome back.

It's hardly breaking the 4th wall. It's only retelling something that happened in the past.

Time doesn't stop. You just can't move. Everything else, including enemies, will continue to move around you. I've seen it. You just can't be hurt while talking.

Well there are some cases where time does stop and your floating in midair while the message is being displayed.

Not always. When talking in the Labyrinth Shop's Gaudis (Gaudies?), everything freezes. But when you talk to Chaba, the others move freely. But with this, the time freezing can't really be an argument.

Okay, I admit, those are good points, though I always took Ballos's dog as a humane factor of killing Ballos.

Oh. OK, then, guess I misunderstood. But I give support anyway. XP

I've been here the whole time, actually, I just don't post unless I have something significant to say. I'm a lurker, I guess. XP;;

No, if you're in midair then you fall to the ground first.

Though it's possible for that not to be the case, as shown by at least one mod. Probably time-freeze is separate from messages somehow.

Most things we say actually have a place, that however did not.
