You know a game is fictional when gas prices are like this!

I mean...it is set in the 2030s, so most people have EVs by now and the demand for gas and diesel has collapsed at that point.

That would make it even more expensive. It'd basically be bespoke.I mean...it is set in the 2030s, so most people have EVs by now and the demand for gas and diesel has collapsed at that point.

Except high supply and low demand results in a decrease in price, in a market supply and demand economy at least.

Yeah I don't think the 2030s are far enough along for the reserves to be depleted enough that gas has become a rarity, but it might be far enough along, within the scope of the heavily tech focused future of this game, that it's rarely used for transportation anymore.

It wouldn't be worth it to maintain all the infrastructure. And gasoline doesn't stay good forever....
I know the topic of Alex's sexual history is a dead horse that has been beaten to hell and back , but the ambiguity kinda bites back at the whole "prince charming" thing.
Because if Alex genuinely holds her grandma in such a high regard (considering she's the only proper parent figure she had growing up) and still clings on the belief of a prince charming taught by her grandma ,wouldn't she have waited for him?
Especially with how she is written as this cautious tsundere that wouldn't easily trust someone for a relationship to the point that unless she's sure they qualify for the "Prince Charming" idea.
Which hints that she has sexual relations outside of committed relationships which kinda cheapens the whole waiting for prince charming trope.
It doesn't necessarily make the scenes with Alex's grandma less emotional nor does it make Alex any less of a love interest.
It just reminds me of those "Waiting for a right man" tropes then proceeds to bang randos on one night stands.
And I fully understand why Caribdis (and most devs) wouldn't want to explicitly state a girl's past unless she's as pure as driven snow(to avoid the wrath of the more sensitive demographic) but i do feel like he could have done away with the prince charming trope snd she would still be the best love interest in the game despite the ambiguity.
Just my two cents, if i missed something please feel free to let me know

Don't Prank the poor soul it's quite evident they don't know how to use the search function.

You can thank OIAL's canon ending for that.I mean...it is set in the 2030s, so most people have EVs by now and the demand for gas and diesel has collapsed at that point.

Dunno, man. All we know is that she likes to do the exact opposite of her parents tell her to do and that she went to Mexico when she was 15. Nowhere is stated she likes to bang randoms. We infer that she and Penny might be non-virgins because a. they're more mature than the other girls (sans Nancy) and b. they're absolute-fucking-ly gorgeous and would have dozens of men at their disposal. Frankly I find weird that Dalia is a virgin when she also would have suitors left and right. The other 3 are understandable (seen as a weirdo, too anti social or too shy).

Yeah i should have worded the rando part better. Still the whole prince charming thing feels out of place especially with how we may infer her character because of how she is written.

To be fair, it's difficult to gauge virginity in this game when everyone in this setting basically bangs like a pornstar, virgins included.
/glances at Judie's performance in OIAL, Orion's performance at Ion, and Nova's first time in the recent update

Guess President Stabb's tenure also made sex ed classes more... practical

The issue basically precedes Mike's tenure if Judie going at it like a damn pro back in OIAL was any indication. Maybe the Cariverse is just like that. /shrugsGuess President Stabb's tenure also made sex ed classes more... practical
