Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.18.3] [Zetan]

HAHA! Yeah, I might be the only person that thinks this way. But, if that is the case, since the time I've lived halfway around this world, why no one else has ever described squeezing breasts as kneading? Maybe because it isn't sexy or sexual?

It's not all that uncommon in literature. Read a few romance novels which are basically porn too, just in written form. "knead" comes up a lot in the spicy scenes. Authors like synonyms a lot because using the same word to convey the same thing gets bland, so it's fairly common in porn lit context. Besides, you could probably argue that using "knead" might be less likely to take the reader out of it than this...

Sure, probably. But, as dolfe67 mentioned, groping, squeezing, fondling, playing with. Just to name a few, are used more for sexual content and sounds so much better than a baking word like knead.

That's because you think the word is only used in one context when it isn't. Kneading is also used when describing a massaging action. I can tell you that if I had Ain's tiddies in my face, I would knead the fuck out of them

In my life time, and that's quite a long time, the only time I've heard that word used was in cooking references. I apologize, if you think I'm trying to burst bubbles, just explaining my experience. I realize there are quite a few making these games that use this word. Seems more like a misconception or misinterpretation for what it's more likely meant to be used for.

If you know it is in cooking then you know the motion it is referring to. Google cats kneading. They are not making bread, just performing a vaguely similar motion. The only misconception here is the idea that it isn't applicable to massage. It absolutely is.

I didn't even know what this word means and didn't even care. The scenes were hot enough. So he means squeezing when he uses this

Sure, like fluffing a pillow before they go to sleep. No one I've ever met uses that word in a sexual reference and it just sounds weird. It's ok though, if you think using it to describe playing with women's breasts is sexy, then I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree. Just my opinion.

Whether it's sexy is neither here nor there; you are 100% entitled to your opinion on that. But your insistence that it is unusual is demonstrably incorrect. Google it. You will see. Take the opportunity to learn something new.

I guess trying to explain to every response was my mistake. What I was pointing out is how I felt about some of the wording used in the dialogue(s). I've already described why I felt how I felt, but if you think you can change my frame of reference by being catty, you can continue alone.

Honestly, one of the best VN I've ever found on this site, thanks to whoever linked up their steam site. First time actually buying a game from here instead of pirating like usual cause, man, this game is just that good. Sorry for omega glaze it but hey i gotta be honest lmao.

It has been a while since i played this game. When i saw it got updated i got too excited to start a new playthrough. Right now I'm in the middle of this new playthrough and let me just say I'm loving what I've seen so far. The devs have been nailing it.

As of this moment, following shani in the zone and the date with zahra are the highlights of this game for me personally.

Putting the praises aside, I would like to suggest to the devs to change the font for the dialogue text of the game or at the very least to give us more options font wise for us to choose from.

The reason I'm suggesting this is because I like playing with the textbox opacity at zero (btw i really like that we have such an option), and the letters of this particular font they're using does not have dark edges, making it hard to read if the background is of lighter colour (the letters just blends in with the background).

I would have to increase the textbox opacity just to be able to read it. like this

And then i would have to go to options and decrease the opacity to zero again.

At first i didn't give it much thought but after a while, this whole process of increasing and decreasing the opacity just to be able to read the text is starting to become kinda frustrating and annoying.
