poly's guide to VN playing satisfaction:
1 - Download a relatively simple VN with obvious choices
2 - Look at it, poke around at it but ultimately decide that you can't be bothered to play it through the way it was designed
3 - Download a mod, believing that it will help you find all of the digital boobies by highlighting some obvious choices
4 - Install the mod, which actually adds another coder and tester to the VN. You now have added the mod, and the modder, to your 'critical path'.
5 - Squeal in delight as you see all the digital boobies without really earning them. (Note: you can do the same thing by 'un-Renpying' the game but oh well...)
6 - Anxiously await the next version of the VN. One good way to do this is to ask on F95Zone for the update every day; make sure you don't read any previous posts because your time is valuable and reading is for suckers.
7 - The new game version is out!!! Check the download links for the updated mod.
8 - OH NOZE!!! The mod hasn't been updated!!! Tell the modder (you know, the one that you aren't supporting financially) that the game has been updated because the modder exists in a parallel universe and has no idea what's happening with the game.
9 - It's the day after the new VN version dropped and there still isn't an updated mod!!! Panic is beginning to set in!!! Do you install the old mod, which is almost guaranteed to create errors (and then complain here), patiently wait for the modder to do his thing (for free) or start a new play-through without the mod? Oh yeah, that's crazy talk - you (at least) start a passive-aggressive whining campaign.
10 - Stew in the knowledge that those of us that either weren't using the mod, or started a new playthrough, have already seen all of the new digital boobies.
11 - Profit
