Yeah, okay...THAT is a very different point of reference. :ROFLMAO:

For me that would be BaDIK...and I would follow that thread closer, if that one wouldn't be such a madhouse. :HideThePain:

Yeah BadiK.... what a thread it is, went here for like 5 minutes saw that people were clashing each other, I saw people post "when update?" every 3 posts and there was like 1 millions pages on the thread so I kind of give up on trying to follow it otherwise I would need this tent.jpg for just trying to keep up with all the posts.
Even here on some days (especially around the update before/after) it's kinda hard to follow when you are working too. :p

I remember passing by OIAL's thread when it was around...version 0.6, I think? Back then I kinda dismissed it because I saw Reb's render then looked at the sisters' renders and thought "Ugh...another HS1 dev who doesn't know how to make his models look consistent with one another."

Flash forward to around the time 0.10 released and I was bored and looking for a new game to play. So I sorted the games based on "weighted rating" and thought "Oh...it's that game again...and it's completed...and it's in the top 10. Huh. Okay, I have nothing better to do, might as well check it out."

Granted, I thought the first chapter started pretty weak. But being the bored guy that I was, I was willing to give it the "three chapter rule," that being if it doesn't pique my interest around the third chapter, I'll drop it.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
...I don't know if it was the boredom, or wanting something fun despite the stress from worrying about COVID, or me just not expecting something funny out of the game (because I seem to recall the entire chapter not being that funny UNTIL the moment above), or a combination of all those factors. Either way...I remember laughing real hard when I saw it, and from then on I was like "okay, even if I end up not liking this overall, I'm going to finish this until the very end just to see this schmuck have his vengeance by boinking the ever-loving hell out of those two sisters in the end."

And yeah, by the end of it I suppose I got waaaay too invested with the story despite my reservations with it (i.e. Stabby Mike being an overutilized plot device, Asmo being relegated to the sidelines once Mike entered the picture, the entire cult that supposedly has tendrils all over the world only being represented by the head honchos who prefer a more hands-on approach instead of letting their supposedly numerous followers do the dirty work for them, Jasmine not having a bigger role in the story despite her dad being a primary antagonist, the harem relationship being totally undercooked and feeling rushed, so. MANY. FUCKING. QUIZ SECTIONS...) and I would've liked it if the planned Epilogue pushed through. Doesn't matter when it drops, or if the renders are made using HS2 (yes, I saw the Secret Ending. No, I didn't thought it was THAT jarring and still felt like it's set in the same world). I just want to see it drop because...

...I dunno, maybe I just don't like the idea of a creator promising that there's still a chapter left to tell (even if the end felt like the end), but then just not following through with it. I mean, it's not as if I don't understand WHY Cari would shelve it (I think it's smart, really, focusing on what the majority wants him to see done). But...I dunno, I think there's just something nice in seeing a creator who managed to get big from the lessons he learned from his old work to just...look back to where it all started and just give it at least a little love.

At least, that's just my opinion on the matter. /shrugs

I love annie chibi.png Annie shy chibi.png Annie hey chibi.png Annie chibi.png *This message has been brought to you by "FARL" (Fappers Against Reaction Limits)*

Couldn't agree more with this, I discovered it when it was already completed (main reason of why I started with this one + great ratings ofc). Still waiting for that epilogue because the way it ends will always leave me hungry for more, the ending was a bit too rushed (don't know if Caribdis got kinda tired of working on it and was impatient to work on Eternum, which can be understandable :unsure:).
I mean the ending is not bad but, for me it's the part of a serie/game/movie that really need to be polished and be outstanding otherwise it could kill your entire experience (*cough*like G.O.T*cough*) and in OIALT case, yeah I was wainting for another ending :).
And speaking about quizz fortunatly we only had one for now, the only one I enjoyed in OIALT was the one during the TV show :WutFace:

Coming from other forums where many users misuse their anonymity to behave like rabid chihuahuas on crack I never really saw much appeal in interacting with any of those "communities". Then me reading Eternum's thread and you see stuff like this (just random recent example that was quickly dug up, hope you don't mind):

Uhm guys I'm sorry but I owe my apologies to Takkatakka.
My last post was a (poor) attempt to make a joke about the fact that we talked about Luna summoning Orion from the dead with her powers.
But looking at the picture again, it sounded to me that I was telling him to shut up and that wasn't my intention to do so, I apologise again and I will try to keep my "humorous" attempt in check.
I apologise to anyone else that may have found the pic offensive, I'm sorry it wasn't my intention at all. :)
Again sorry Takkatakka.

Like... HELLO? We are on the internet? How dare you watch out for other peoples feelings and be nice to them? Aren't you supposed to fi-... hmm, ok this actually looks kinda fun.

And that's essentially how Eternum was originally at fault for why I started to interact with a whole bunch of communities here now were I normally only lurked to have my peace.:giggle:

Honestly, the best part about the Eternum crew is that most of us are memesters in some form so it's a lot more great vibes over other places.

But I'm here for the hobo fights just like everyone else.

Now pardon me, gotta get the fight music ready...


And grab the popcorn...

On a side note, I'm waiting two days for public release...

Saw the Alex scene and good lord, that was fucking intense. Now to just see the rest of the story and what people were talking about.

And then there's Pale Carnations next month... *sigh*

Even further, Oppai Odyssey is updating too and I actually have to start that since I only watched it before...

*Double sigh...*

Or
that was an Alex from one of the failed timelines where Orion couldn't free everyone from the Main enemies and died, but since His misterious power was awaken the first time He logged in, the fallen Orion memories are blending with his current ones?

This is Eternum, not "Weird Shit is going to happen" :KEK:

To which question, if I want them both? Yes. If I prefer them over the main girls? No. I have a big heart.

Actually, I was mostly curious if yes, you were intending to be ordering from Stew's top girls list, or if you meant to flip the your and Stew's heads, since you were reacting to Stew's ... interesting interest chart.

To be honest I didn't understand the combination on the chart as well, Idriel and Praetorians are in a level way higher than Charlotte for example. Meanwhile Gertrude... lol. Anyway, knowing how Caribdis is, if he ever remembers doing a redemption arc, he may make her somewhat likeable, the same way MC in Oailt had an haircut, but who knows.

edit: There Elhemeer , fixed it for you.

No, he must keep this art style.................and i agree with you
Click to expand...
I almost didn't play this because of the art style. Having said that i am so glad i tried it anyway. This is possibly the best AVN/game i have played. I agree i think the art style is unique and it fits nicely with the game/avn. Even if somehow it gets messed up in a future update it won't change my opinion. I enjoy this game immensely.
