The way he speaks about his "helpers" makes me think that he isn't paying them anything for their contributions. I mean when he says that the first helper just left halfway through the first animation because another project was more "interesting". That just doesn't sit well with me. You don't just leave a project if you are getting paid for it. Yes you can quit it but everybody would then know you're a quitter. To me this all sounds like he got them, perhaps even from this very forum for free, and not from online listings where you can see their work and even reviews of their work. It sounds like he wanted to keep all the money for himself.
Maybe, maybe not. I just don't see why anyone would perform animation work without being paid for it though considering the time it generally takes to complete. Maybe he's not paying them all that much and they find someone else that's willing to pay them more. Could be any reason really. He definitely shouldn't be mentioning it on his patreon though, not to that degree anyway. At the most he should have just said he'd gone through several different people that didn't work out and left it at that. Would have been far more professional. I suppose we do have to remember that L&P is more than likely rather young if he was or still is in college when first starting this game. Youth rarely possesses the wisdom or experience of the old. He'll learn these things just like we all do eventually.
It's still the same blouse Sophia is wearing all the time. Sophia only enhances the breasts more.
So, you're telling me she can self inflate her air bags? Plastic Surgeons of the world are about to lose some customers if this secret gets out.
He always has been. There is nothing "badass" to resort to blackmail to get favor from a woman. Even worse not being able to do anything alone, without his uncle or gang friends help.
Bingo. You nailed it with this about his character. Guys like him in real life aren't badass, they're just faking it with false bravado, intimidation, and the illusion of power that comes from having a gang of friends and uncle that holds real power in regards to the law. (some of which looked more badass than he does).
Valid argument, but at the same time he does own a motorcycle and beat people up. I took his blackmail as him being "Ruthless / Cunning / Villainous" not so much being a little slime ball, but I can see how you take it that way.
Aiden is more of a manipulator so the cunning part definitely fits him. Ruthless? No, but he's definitely petulant if he doesn't get his way which is why he resorts to saying he'd go right back to beating up Dylan if Sophia doesn't agree to his "offer". That's intimidation he's using in the hopes she'll fall for it. Being smarter and just letting Dylan learn how to fight would be far better. Dylan beating the crap out of Aiden at some point in the story would humiliate him in front of his own gang and he'd ultimately lose their respect and their support because of something like that.
Someone like Don Morello could be referred to as ruthless considering he operates his own casino and quite likely other businesses in the city. It takes a certain degree of experience in that regard to achieve such success. If he really is a mafia Don (Boss), that'd make him even more ruthless considering what he likely did to get there. That is not someone you want to cross not even to a minor degree. Aiden is a pussycat in comparison to that.
Villainous? No. Aiden isn't anything remotely close to it. I'd say at the most he's arrogant and mainly because of who his uncle is and how easy it is for him to get out of trouble so long as it's nothing overly serious. Schoolyard fights might land him in detention or possibly expelled if he beat someone up too bad but isn't going to land him in jail. Manipulating a teacher into taking her clothes off or eventually having sex with him won't either cause he could just say she was the one that started everything and have his gang back him up. Students in the classroom would also corroborate that by saying how she wasn't wearing her underwear during class and giving them all a peep show. That'd land Sophia in trouble rather than Aiden. So, yeah, he's more of an arrogant manipulator than anything else. Obviously that's worked for him so far but with the options in game, if people make the right ones, he'll likely wind up with his ass getting beaten down by Dylan once he learns martial arts. His gang will lose respect for him over something like that and walk away from him as i already stated earlier in the post. I doubt most people give a shit about that though if they're playing on the filthy route. They want to see Aiden take advantage of Sophia in the end.
