Yeah but...we're talking about doing physically demanding stuff and the feeling you get from it being not so different between Eternum and the real world (aside from the lack of gains). And by physically demanding stuff I meant in a general sense like walking, running, climbing, training, hunting, fighting, fucking...and not something specific like working in the mines or being a corporate wage slave...Jump? Now I am confused. You were talking about people working in Eternum and still feeling the effects, right?
Same would count for menial labor and so you could get buff as an Eternum miner working on some server for your debts, right?
Or is that train of thought too strange for even the Maker of Curses
Am I really the crazy one here?
If AI tools in the 3D space start showing the gains we've seen in large language models recently, then there is a very good chance that we're going to be able to use blender in the same way as Daz in the near future - where we can click on an AI plugin, ask it do create a prop or scene, and have it do so, with only minor manual adjustments to be made.
that's not gonna happen anytime soon lmao dude
). - What I like: The girls are top. Nova is hilarious and the comedy music that plays when she's involved in non-serious moments like during the "conference call" after the first events with Callypso was spot on. The VR MMO approach of Eternum is quite good and reminds me somewhat of Sword Art Online with its realism setting (and chance to die IRL if you die in the game, albeit apparently only under certain circumstances). The mystery server was creepy as F, and I would probably never "touch" this MMO if it existed IRL as I don't like free-for-all PvP as a huge scaredy cat lol. Looking at you Thanatos. The songs during lewd scenes is also something which I think is a cool idea in AVNs (something Japanese ones don't use in these moments) + the general BGM is great.. Oh and sorry, but the sex scenes are eh. This has nothing to do with Caribdis, but the general western AVN execution of making the MC into a big thong personified sex god with whom everyone gets "addicted" after the first multisession romp (from what I skimmed through of Penny or Nova's scenes) for lack of a better expression.
I'm more into japanese visual novels, but I think this game is solid as my misgivings are mostly with general western AVN approaches of the main character (not that the JP studios are different with rarely changing what works
So without further ado, time to make me unpopular
What I don't like: Alex's idiot brother as a rival feels too black or white as in it seems he only exists to increase angsty drama and the simping level for Orion (from the readers), though I won't deny that I also simply don't enjoy overly hostile "rivals". I hope he either grows up after realizing/accepting that his dad is trash or the truth of his friend's death OR he doesn't overstay his "welcome" in the long run.
Also Orion's haircut

That has some valid points, and well, we know for sure that some users have hit it right with their theories on the discord. Speaking of that, you NEED TO BE A PATREON SUPPORTER to be able to interact in the Discord... that's a shitty move
I think that's because of bots/people raiding the server, not to get more Patreon subs
Cari and his moderators made it that way because they kept having issues with bots, raiders, and pirates posting DL links to leaked versions of the game. Sooo, can't really blame them for putting some sort of stopgap to all of that bullcrap.
Those same geniuses from Discord:
TL;DR, Jerry's a rat working for Thanatos and/or William, and is leaking info of Orion's gem and artifact hunting activities to them.Those same geniuses from Discord: View attachment 4043599
I, who just realized that I didn’t understand anything: View attachment 4043603
My brain needs a rest after reading these theories
Although, nothing is impossible. Sometimes the most unexpected and quiet character may not be the one you imagined.
I mean...yeah, how Thanatos always shows up right after Orion and the Crew got the Gems and Caly still is a mystery.
Seems unlikely, tbh. Too much of a stretch. Jerry was already doing what he does (sucking up to Dalia through Eternum) before Orion became a big deal. He already knew her in person, too.
No it's not. You can talk about the game here.
I feel like if the "Thanatos is an NPC" theory is true then that could explain it: Jerry has some sort of means to control Thanny which he plans to exploit later on once the latter secures the gems. Of course, it's likely going to backfire on Jerry's face because...well...Thanatos.
