Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.08.02] [Aleksey90]

[firevoodoo]

I meant Dark Silver (who came up with the title "Big Brother") and his Glamour - new iteration of original Big Brother.

Apparently, I wrongly assume everyone in this thread as an old-timer. My bad.

This old propaganda of the cold War era is not very popular with young people nowadays. There could have been a deeper story in the older version of Big Brother, but unfortunately it ran aground. The new version of "Glamour" is missing all the successful game mechanics of the original, as well as the interesting emotional corruption of the past.

tbh I never looked at the shirt closely.
There also exists A Big Brother TV show (1999 Netherlands), which then was brought to Germany and other countries
Some people lived in a house under surveillance 24/7 and the viewers would vote each week who had to leave.

It also had some spinoffs with C-Stars, who lived in the jungle or on a Farm in the alps.
It's all about being watched 24/7.

They still produce that rubbish once in a while, many people seem to like it.

By “old-timer” I meant “old time BB funs”. I do not recall term confused anyone back in 2017, everyone got the reference.

I'm an old timer in every way you may possibly mean it

Always thought that the term 'Big Brother' was coined by the author of Animal Farm & 1984, George Orwell.

Well, the image on Max' shirt is actually the book cover of 1984.

So you might be right. I am not sure if Orwell invented the term big brother or if that came later, but he certainly explored the idea of total government control and someone watching you all the time.

It is not 100% clear if Orwell "invented" the actual term, but it became what it means today (mass surveillance etc), because of 1984 :

What's unclear, is what actually truly inspired him, the article states several possibilities, but it seems like nobody knows which one (or if all?) inspired him.

Orwell was Brit gov insider, he made his carrier in early era of British Empire’s Ministry of Truth (BBC). “Orwell” is his pen name to protect his BBC profile btw. His book depicts British technocrats’ vision of future for the next 50 years, obviously. Check out H. G. Wells’ ideas for the world government from that era for comparison. Same with Huxley. They differ a bit but idea is the same.

It was in the air since the first world war when elites said “never again, we need to manage this thing in another way”. Long story short Orwell invented nothing. He just spilled the beans on BBC and British Conservative Party (he was a flaming liberal). Contemporary readers understood all the allusions quite easily. Idea ‘1984’ is somehow anti-Soviet pamphlet is from late stages of the Cold war.

I would say, just go and visit her in the shower in the morning or whenever she is showering. It's called "I think I owe you a favor", it takes place after the memory left of this one.

I can only peek at her or use the step ladder. Is it possible i missed it? i finished all quests already

 

[Nemo56]

You should be able to peek on her normally as well. I don't know any condition that prevents it.

Of course it's possible that your persistent file is damaged. In that case use the one provided in the savegames post.

Don't you have to get a BJ from her at the pool around 3am and than you can have sex with her?

Feeling happy patroens still pay . Too many delays to ever trust a word , not an isolated case.

 

[firevoodoo]

He feels nothing. Patreon does not release funds to Russia.

 

[Ntr Ntr]

Other russian Devs are getting paid through boosty. Which might be an option for him.
