Hell walk it off within the first 10 minutes of 0.8
Keep in mind Dalia, Annie, our favorite elf, and likely Nancy will be getting the long schlong of the law. Hell be fine lol

Yo, Caribdis, careful now... these 'Droid fanboys will try to cancel you 
.
This is why SanchoMod doesn't work proper on 'Droid folks... even devs imply other superior OS's

Feels like he wouldn't be facing consequences or learn anything if that's the road that's chosen.

I just don't agree that Orion was really getting arrogant. The only time where he was even remotely arrogant was in the alley with the junkies and even then his reaction was perfectly warranted, if some bum comes demanding change from you punching them in the face is the correct choice. If anything his only screw up was by not taking it farther and making sure the enemy was down for the count. The only reason the situation went pear shaped is because a junkie who likely didn't have 2 eternals to rub together SOMEHOW had a gun. If they were proper gang members then sure I can see that, but junkies? At most they would have a knife or a broken bottle. Also if you're going to mug someone and you have a gun you pull that out first, much more likely to get the money without having to fire a shot.
I mean the entire chapter Orion was constantly questioning himself and his enemies. With the werewolves he was confident but also respected the enemy enough to be wary of him and while I haven't seen the vampire route I'm sure it's pretty similar. He even questions if what he is doing with the girls is right and after thinking about it comes to a logical conclusion, it's probably not the right one but the fact that he even stops to question it shows that he is aware of his actions and not just assuming he is the god king and that everything will work out.
All in all I don't think Orion earned that shit from Idriel. If you wanted him to earn it then the werewolf/vampire parts would have had him just assuming he would win without challenge. You would have removed the part about him being excited that Coyote was an actual challenge and replaced it with something more like "Coyote is better than I thought but still a chump not worth mentioning" you would have him NOT questioning his relationships with the girls and just assuming he is so badass it's obvious they would fall for him. Having a single encounter where he shows a level of earned arrogance that goes sideways in a kind of stupid way does not warrant the "You deserve this because you were being arrogant" speech. At best it deserves a "This is not how things were supposed to happen, someone interfered with your destiny" or "You were unlucky"
If you really wanted to hit us with the consequences for arrogance trope then there should have been small moments where he truly was getting arrogant, then have Idriel chide him in one of her talks, something like "You are doing well but be wary of arrogance and do not let it cloud your judgement" then hit us with what we got and it would feel earned and right. This feels like Cari wanted to have a morality moment and threw it in because it would make a good cliffhanger not that it made sense to the story and character.
Aside from all that it was a great chapter, a little bit short but with all of the theory fodder it totally makes up for it. Now I just have to work out if Orion is going to survive the incident, become like Thanatos, or have the world kind of reset.

speak for yourself, I never believed thatWell we are all a little insane for believing there wasn't going to be a cliffhanger in the first place.

God damn, there was plenty of new and good content. Been few updates since i last tried this, though sadly no new scenes with Nancy. But thankfully there was really good Penelope scene finally, she is definitely my second favourite after Nancy. And yes, rest of the LIs are also great.
Its subtle but he was look at the piarate scene he completely looked past the Coyote just cause he looked normal.

This game reallly needs BADIK style recaps, It's been so long since 0.6 that I barely remember what happened since then. I don't think it'd take too much work to put together since it'd just be a compilation of important scenes, and it'd really help out since I don't have enough time in my schedule to replay a 10+ hour game every update (College, work, and keeping up with friends/family takes up alot of my time).
Anyways, the update was great, but it sucks we didn't get El Coyote's Gem. The wait for the next updates is going to be excruciating.

I expect either Calypso to show up and save the day or for his demon eyes or whatever to make an appearance. Either way, it's going to be epic! I agree with you though, it'll be disappointing if this doesn't light a fire under his ass
Why do you have MSI Afterburner on for a ren'py game? Not hating, just a curious choice (Since I imagine it'd be distracting from the visuals)

Nah the VN doesn't function w/o the MC. If there's any long time lapse it'll be off-screened.
This is obv meta but Carib D doesn't have the time to spend a sizeable chunk of 0.8 having Orion cross Snake Way before being reinserted back into the story
