In New Zealand it's 16/12/2022 01:00. Where's the update?
Okay, bad joke. I'll go...

We also learned from Interlude the reason Zoey left for San Diego in a hurry. Grandma's death. We got a deeper look into Zoey and the MC's relationship. We learn that Zoey is not really good at dealing with her feelings, so she took the people in her hometown, including the MC, for granted (home blindness).While it pains me to take his side , I still think there's a strong case to be made that the Interlude was indeed pointless.
What did we really learn from it? We already knew the basics of Zoey: she was the MC's first girlfriend but moved to San Diego to become a surfer; when the MC decided to stay behind and graduate she moved on and found a new boyfriend. The only clearly salient things we learned during the Interlude was that her relationship with the MC seemed to be a lot shallower for her than for him, and that she didn't actually get a new boyfriend out west (though she did indeed move on from the MC). I guess we we also learned she only moved back home because she ran out of money, but I don't think that's something we were supposed to notice.
I'm not saying this makes Zoey a bad character, and it's technically possible some of the other details in the Interlude will become relevant in a way that couldn't have been more easily conveyed in a flashback, but from my point of view the Interlude was a waste of ~2.5 months of development time. Worse, it also interrupted the story at a time when we really needed some progress. Episode 9 is facing Phantom Menace levels of expectations in no small part because DPC went all in on hyping up Zoey and the Vixens instead of the story we'd been playing. Hopefully he'll pull it off and the wait will be worth it, but it was still an insanely risky gamble.
But hey, at least this is the last chance for cheap shots at the Interlude from me. After tomorrow it will all be about Episode 9 and beyond. I realize ya'll are probably sick of my objections, but I figure I might as well vent my spleen one last time so you can point to this post and laugh if it turns out Episode 9 does make good use of Zoey's vacation and I start going soft on the Interlude.
Nice that you pull a Dalli.There are some indications that Rooster content might become more significant in the future. Tommy will potentially call the MC out for trolling the jocks on Rooster:

Similarly, Jacob will chide Jaime for posting about the pregnancy scare on Rooster. You already mentioned M&J objecting to the Pink Rose girls hanging on the MC. And if we're bending over backwards looking for plot points in the Interlude, it does show the dangers of posting sensational material to your social media feeds.
Perhaps I'm pulling a Dalli, but it seems like DPC may be setting the stage for potential consequences to our social media going forward. Probably not major consequences, but at least something.
Man I'm ready for the new episode!

He's even pettier than my ex. I would be surprised if he didn't tryBut you do have a main save, right?, without mod, I mean are you not worried that, DPC finally found a way, to make the mod users life a living hell, and modding won't work anymore?

That's not a mistake. For example, when you do the wingman for Derek and address Peggy, Kylie sits next to it and Elena also tells the MC so he has to do it better. In the same room the MC can see Sarah up her skirt and she has no panties on. Likewise Kylie would notice when the MC disappears with Sage in her room. She also sees him go into Quinn's room to get the rum. Sally and Karen walk out before him. A little later the MC follows with the bottle of rum. Kylie sees all of this and this is just the HOTs party from EP7.Unfortunately, I think so. I had only been with Josy & Maya and no one knows about them, yet I still have the reputation of the guy that gets around...another DPC blunder.

If you don't sleep with anyone, do you still find out you have a reputation as a manwhore at the dorm party?

Damnit, ywas hoping to avoid needing another replay.
If you're talking about when Christie says:Yes, but you have the opportunity to deny it, which you don't if you have slept around. Jamie also replies to Becky asking if you're single on rooster (after helping Jill with concert) that you've always got something going on.
I don't think DPC considered anyone doing a celibate run. However it should be noted that the DIKs have seen MC being dry humped by Sage, Josy coming out of his room early morning after sleeping over, possibly Bella coming out of his room after sleeping over even on a celibate run so the reputation could still come from that.
You have it in you to be very comprehensive at times.That's not a mistake. For example, when you do the wingman for Derek and address Peggy, Kylie sits next to it and Elena also tells the MC so he has to do it better. In the same room the MC can see Sarah up her skirt and she has no panties on. Likewise Kylie would notice when the MC disappears with Sage in her room. She also sees him go into Quinn's room to get the rum. Sally and Karen walk out before him. A little later the MC follows with the bottle of rum. Kylie sees all of this and this is just the HOTs party from EP7.
There are so many ways where the MC can be seen and Kylie, Becky, Peggy and Christie can misinterpret it. The 4 of them are also at the DIK party from EP4. There Mona can say so she would like to fuck the MC too. Becky might have heard that. If Riona wants to kiss the MC, Peggy, Christie and Kylie see that.
Even about Rooster, which everyone can read, a CHICK MC makes a response, which implies that for others and the MC can not escape this trap. The Rooster Cluck about HOT Movie night. Either the MC picks a few girls or the MC can't decide because he thinks all the girls are great. Tommy writes on it so the MC is the worst because he wants to fuck all the girls. No matter how the MC responds to this Rooster Cluck, he gets this reputation.

You can't be on Maya/Josy or Jill's paths if you want to pick Other (technically there's a small exception if Jill would reject your DIK ass, but otherwise wooing them forces you to pick one of the LIs). But to be a proper celibate run you need to avoid sex completely, so you'll automatically avoid those pitfalls.Also, about the Celibate run, or like AchedCroissant calls his' 'Saving myself for Zoey', how do you go about it? Since here I didn't have a choice to pick to be alone and MC just continues his relationship, do you have to be rude to everyone so they don't like you anymore and get forced into Others?
Yes, even an MC who avoids every girl on campus still has the reputation for getting around.If you don't sleep with anyone, do you still find out you have a reputation as a manwhore at the dorm party?
None of that changed over the course of the Interlude, so we could have (and should have) learned all that simply by watching the MC interact with Zoey in the main game. The only reason an Interlude would be necessary is if we need to understand why Zoey acts differently than the MC remembers (since we would have had no memories of our own to compare to).We also learned from Interlude the reason Zoey left for San Diego in a hurry. Grandma's death. We got a deeper look into Zoey and the MC's relationship. We learn that Zoey is not really good at dealing with her feelings, so she took the people in her hometown, including the MC, for granted (home blindness).
I'll believe that when I see it.That's why Interlude was important, because we as players configure Zoey. Either she is DIK or NEUTRAL. The DIK Zoey will not accept and tolerate that the MC now has another girlfriend and she will torpedo the relationship from the MC. The NEUTRAL Zoey, on the other hand, will accept and tolerate it. This will lead to embarrassing situation for the MC because the LIs will probably befriend NEUTRAL Zoey and Zoey knows a lot about the MC.
Excellent work, but the above verses really should have gone to the Vixens![PREPS AND ALPHAS]
Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all
Here a little dip
There a little touch
Most of them are just casuals so they won't miss much!
No, we saw Jill's order: side salads to end the date as soon as possible. Tybalt naturally ignored the implication and insisted on placing a proper order, which probably included the fish. (Or Jill had been to the restaurant previously and liked the fish then.)The most important thing I learn on this date is so Jill is not for the MC. Why? We learn so Jill has already ordered the food for herself and Tybalt. Jill says so herself.
But what kind of food did she order. When she leaves, Jill said to other guests that she recommends the fish because she heard so it should be excellent. Ergo, the waiter said to her so the fish is delicious and she ordered fish. Fish rings all the alarm bells for me.
Why is the Alone branch called "HOTs"? Jade, Nicole, etc. aren't HOTs so far we know.You must be registered to see the links
Ask and you shall receive.
True, it also looks like all of the pink rose girls are included there as well.Why is the Alone branch called "HOTs"? Jade, Nicole, etc. aren't HOTs so far we know.
