If there's nothing to "integrate", can the integration system function anymore? NO.
So can we end this "VDIM-off is not VSC-off" thing once and for all already? It's getting a bit tiring to see this brought up everytime the secret sequence is mentioned.

from your post i think that's conclusive enough: if everything is shuts off, personally i can care less if it's vsc or vdim. we can just say nothing is on, that's even better

) then VDIM realistically isn't fully functioning, even if "on".
