How do you ya'll download this game on Mega when it exceeds the amount of Gb that can be transferred?

  • Either increase your quota (upragde - costs money, recommend to MEGA to friends, or check out all the other temporary increase options on their website)
  • Wait for the quota to renew (takes a few hours or so)
  • Change your IP address (use VPN or something - unethical!)
I find it's pretty easy to do the free quota increase options on their website.

Overall I agree that Maya is pretty well adjusted considering. But I've also said before that I think Maya's initial portrayal, which is much more confident and flirtatious than she acts in Episode 3+, is something of a facade. The real Maya aspires to be that person, but she falls short because she's an intensely private girl with a mountain of inexperience and self-doubt. When she barely knew the MC it was easy to 'fake confidence.' As she got to know him, it became a lot harder.

The reason she leans so heavily on the MC now is that he's one of the few people she's opened up to that turned out to be trustworthy. That's why her flirtatious 'act' fades as she gets to know him better, at least until very recently. It's also why she was so conflicted about trying to explain the situation with Josy.

Maya's sexual orientation was her biggest secret, and she learned the hard way that she needed to keep it secret. There was no way to explain everything to the MC without revealing that, and if he rejected her over it she'd lose her only remaining confidant. (Other than Derek, but I get the impression there are limits to how helpful Derek can be on the topic of love or sex). By the time Maya was able to admit the whole truth, it was too late.

None of which is to excuse her behavior: what Maya did was wrong no matter her reasons, and she knew that. (To her credit, she does admit her mistake in the library scene - one of the few bits that rang true, IMHO). But I do think it shows that Maya has problems beyond just her poorly conceptualized financial issue. The real question is if the game will work as hard to address these shortcomings as it does to fix her debt.

I agree with you overall.

but it seems to me that there is a tendency to exaggerate this trauma (of which we know very little, to say, we do not even know if the father has prevented her from communicating with Josy or has only forbidden it), to make it a free pass for any oddity, for any questionable behavior. the same mechanism is proposed for Bella.

Maya was not supposed to tell MC she was a lesbian, but when MC declares himself she had to tell him that she was in a complex emotional situation, what does any trauma have to do with this situation?
in these 6 chapters the only sexual iterations not related to the HOTs or the scavenger hunt are a kiss, the eventual scene after Josy's father visit and the "release" after the threesome. the rest faithfully follows Quinn's will

possible that her trauma was insuperable in being honest with MC, but instead it was so easily handled by rubbing on him?

Maya is not her trauma, she is a person with strengths and weaknesses. no one is just the traumas he has suffered

Alright, I hope this should be a more easily digestible version of the "Mansion Restoration Minigame"-guide I posted before.

It is neither the optimal nor by any means the only way to finish the restoration, but it is a way to get the job done in 7 of the 9 available turns, for people that don't feel like calculating it themselves or worrying about potentially spending the XP "incorrectly".
You'll be able to keep the VIP pass and still finish restoring all rooms and buy the windows at the very end of episode 7. In Episode 8 you can simply use any additional turns to send everyone to work and collect as much extra cash as possible, but since it is random which jobs are offered to you, that will not be part of this guide. Just try and get as many people as possible into $$$ jobs (or $$$$ jobs if you happen to see any and someone happens to have the right stats for them).

Many thanks to ename144 and Hurensohn Heigl for also being interested in the math and possibilities for optimization for this minigame and the food for thought and constructive criticism they gave as well as their more in-depth methods of calculating what to ideally do each turn.
In case you are interested, here are links to both Hurensohn Heigls initial analysis and his follow-up/final evaluation as well ename144s tracker. Both of their sheets would be vastly superior to my guide if you don't want to just follow a random persons steps but actually calculate all the turns and make your own choices ahead of time.
Also thanks to any and all users that pointed out errors and/or typos in the previous version of the sheet.

It is neither the optimal nor by any means the only way to finish the restoration, but it is improbable that the restoration can be finished in 5 assignment sessions (after the tutorial) unless we either get a massive reduction of restoration-stats needed or a massive amount of funds ($20 or more, not including Bellas or Tommys future jobs).
Thus this gives an option for finishing in either 6 assignments (this will not only require tedious work-rerolling but also relies on story-jobs giving us extra $ in the future) or in 7 assignments (with almost no job-rerolling and not a single story-job in episode 7 needed) for people that don't feel like calculating it themselves or worrying about potentially spending the XP in episode 6 "incorrectly".

PS: It seems like if we do get 7 assignments to finish, then it would easily be possible to complete the restoration without ever turning the VIP pass into $10. Just food for thought.
Hit me up should you notice any errors and I will fix them.

Someone put this in the frontpage, kudos my friend

EDIT: how did you do the math? Trial and error? It would be sweet to make this spreadsheet somewhat automated to test different solutions, I might fiddle a bit with that this week if I can
