Any way to turn off the flashing colored lights from the party? they still running on all my saves into episode 10

In the console, paste this line "hide screen dance_filter_screen" without quotations.

The lights are stuck on if you leave the dance floor using fast travel. If you're still at the Halloween party, if you leave the dance floor using the arrow or go into Tommy's room behind the curtain, they will turn off.

The flashback to summer at the lake with Derek and Lynn (end of Episode 3) doesn't support the view that solo paths would be a disaster. Josy and Maya had known each other for a long time--plenty of time to get together if they were likely to fall deeply in love--yet Josey's plan was to move away from Maya and never see her again.

As for Maya, she didn't feel much sexual tension with Josy. When Josey kissed Maya for the first time in Maya's tent, Maya's reaction is shock. She asks, "What are you doing?"

This is just one example. There is plenty of evidence that Josy and Maya, like many young women who need to feel more secure in their lives at a particular time, are lovers by convenience.

Josy is clearly crushing on MC in a way that she never has with Maya. The fact that Maya at first comes across as a lesbian should be no surprise. After the way her father has treated her, a combination of deprivation of affection and strict control over her life, it's no wonder that she is afraid of intimacy with men when the VN starts. Her primary male role model was a source of fear and self-loathing. That does not mean she is not sexually attracted to men. Now that she's experienced a man who is caring (the MC), she appears to be learning that her primary attraction is to men, not women.

In short, Josy and Maya got we they needed out of their relationship while they were both going through a difficult time in their lives (stress of going or not going to college for Josy and Maya's family life). Moving on seems just as likely as any other outcome.

I agree, additionally we never really see any displays off passion or love between the two of them when not on the trouple path. They feel more like fwb's at best. Josy at least will break up with Maya on the others route next ep im sure about it and she thinks in a different way about him than about Maya.

But even on the trouple path its kinda obvious isnt it? They talk about how its not true that the mc simply has two girlfriends yet at the camping party lewd they switch places, one is having fun with the mc while the other one stands guard, they seemingly dont even think about the mc standing guard while they have fun with each other.

The same at the ep9 end talk, they dont even question or talk about how often they had fun with each other, its all about how often each of them had fun with the mc, they are entirely focused on him.

An earlier comment talked about how everything would have been different for the maya and josy relationship if they could meet everyday and have wild sex and cuddles. Yet even at college it seems like they are not doing any of that or at least not very often and to be frank, their communication seems to really suck.

How long were josy and maya even a couple? It doesnt feel like they really had a (mature) relationship at any point at all.

It is easy for discussions of topics like this can slip into sounding like these are real people with real emotions. No, the M&J relationship simply whatever DPK decides it is from moment to moment.

Are you dense? Mentioning that were talking about a fictional story in an avn, youre really some kind of prohpet arent you? We talk and interpret the hints dpc gave us about the fictional couple josy and maya. Are you able to comprehend it now?

They feel like a married couple on the path to divorce. As the outsider lookin in, who has experienced it RL, it's all that I can see. Their relationship has been in trouble for a very long time. Even before they met the MC. First because of Maya's dad. People blame it on the MC, but it's not his fault. Even if you don't do anything with Josy from the start, I didn't, that relationship was in trouble.

Shouldn't jump to conclusions. Those are preps and now they owe Tremolo a favor. Who knows what will happen in future episodes? Maybe that favor will come in handy and -10% of happiness which you can easily negate is a fair trade.

Agreed. Nothing wrong discussing them like they're real people. Good fiction draws you in. I think it's healthy to balance your literal mind with your imagination.

Both Josy and Maya fell for MC because they're forced apart by Patrick and went through months of doubts and conflict over that development, that made them think their relationship was doomed. MC was there for them when their partner wasn't, fulfilling the role they'd otherwise fill for each other. I doubt Josy would take so much notice of MC if she was coming back home each day to Maya to have wild sex and cuddles with her, and the same goes for Maya.

They're, effectively, in a long-distance relationship without any real contact, and if that ending in turning to someone else is somehow a proof their relationship can't work [in better circumstances as well] then one would have to conclude that very few human relationships can work at all, because that's the typical outcome in such scenario.

I tend to think Josy would still fall for MC her feelings are to strong

Loved your suggestion that the MC could have switch up to be a guard and for the two have their own fun.

It's a couple that has learned not to show too much affection to each other if others are around. But yeah...especially in this Episode the interaction between the two of them was extremely barren to none-existent. The main problem was probably, that there just isn't another threesome scene, even if the MC is on their path and instead there only is the same Friday evening scene the other paths get with either Maya or Josy only with an added sex scene.
