Ren'Py Bad Memories [v0.9.5.2] [recreation]

[Xythurr]

Appeals to realism are hilarious - they're always brought up to justify why a game (or tabletop system) NEEDS to change to align with your preferences and imply that the status quo is objectively bad, and never that there should be a small chance that your character just randomly dies due breaking their neck falling from a tree, or getting hit by a car, as if the artistic license came with a subclause "but only if some random person interacting with the piece of art likes it!"

Suspension of disbelief refers to a state of temporary acceptance of something unbelievable, often within the context of storytelling or entertainment. It's the audience's willingness to overlook inconsistencies or fantastical elements in a story, allowing themselves to be fully engaged and emotionally invested in the narrative.

If you veer too far then you lose the above and everything turns to nonsense. You have to make your make believe shit seem like if fits within the reality of the story you are telling.
That said nothing we've been discussing is that important to the story nor has anyone implied that the game is somehow bad if things aren't implemented.
Try not to be disingenuous and make arguments in bad faith.

Ain't this thread truly about Bad Memories? People keep arguing about the obvious or about personal tastes over and over and over. This makes me remember a great horror movie where a family keeps fighting for no reason until they all kill themselves:

Hopefully that won't happen again here.....
Although Otter and Frog are suspiciously silent, what happened in the bar?

Oh, that night didn't end so well...

I had to resolve our differences...PERMENANTELY!

Don’t mind those two above, it was an unforgettable night full of debauchery. It pushed us to explore the limits of our sexuality. I’ll always cherish it, and I believe they will too, despite lying to themselves.

Yeah, and people are quite willing to suspend their disbelieve for the most unrealistic, violating-the-previously-established-setting, BULLSHIT, if it conforms to their preferences, while attacking as unrealistic something they dislike because they're unwilling suspend their disbelieve, even if what is portrayed truthfully reflects reality, because runs contrary to their preferences.
Which leads to the previously mentioned phenomena, "realism" being used as a cudgel... very selectively. While if realism was truly the objective... well, some stories should end in "and he tripped badly and broke his neck"
This honestly wasn't about pregnancy contest within this game - I don't care either way. I was just being very amused about this very consistent behaviour with regards to claims of "realism"

(And no, I don't want stories to end with "random chance killed it" either. I'd just prefer if the role personal preference, and how it's personal, would be more clearly be expressed when it's argued. There's nothing really, after everything, that's objective here. It's art)

Sir this is a porn game thread. Please address your home-brew gaming issues up with your D&D friends because this isn't the place.

Hello, does playing as a man or a woman result in seeing different renders or will the same renders be shown?

The story is more or less the same but the renders are different.

The only difference in the renders is a in the sex scenes and the hands, as the AVN is 100% pov.

On the FMC path, there a few times we see her.
I supposed these few times have alternate renders for the male MC too?
Or aren't any of them on the MMC path?

It's been a long time since I've played, but yeah, both MCs' "half" appears in some lewd and kissing scenes, and they have different renders.
