Yeah but that's kindof what I mean about wealth. It's a dangerous road and almost an addiction. I've seen people start off poor and then they get to sort of the middle ground, and they buy a house and a decent car and upgrade their grocery shopping a bit - all good. And then they get some more, and start thinking of other things they could have. The problem is that every step up the ladder they go they find more and more things they want - boats and country club memberships and bigger houses and more cars and ... stuff until they are making 2-300k but are still basically living paycheck to paycheck because they keep finding more stuff that they need. Something like 70% of 7 figure lottery winners are broke within 5 years. ... I've always thought that if I suddenly because wealthy that I'd do what Guy is doing (the nice version). Pay off all debt, buy a nice house - not lavish but a good average sized, well built home, with solid, well built furniture - then take care of family and then help people, professionally (not exploit them, just help).
I get what you mean. It's mostly about knowing when you are actually happy with what you have at the moment, and not trying to seek more that won't bring any happiness. balancing happiness and burden/chores is tough for most people. Especially in the era of social media.
MC is mostly immune to social media influence until now, except to take care of his public image. staying away was the right decision for him, given his anger management issues :D

I think Gabby's alleyway scene in the latest chapter is a great example of this; it was an awesome start to what her and Guy's corrupted/dark relationship could become. Most other games play into the "she secretly loves it" trope way too fast and easy. I think it's not entirely implausible that sort of dynamic could develop in a messed up kind of way, but it needs great care; like, what is Gabby thinking in some of those moments? Is it purely her body reacting in opposition to her actual feelings? Does she feel guilty about it? Will that lend to confusion and eventual acceptance in the end? Are these mixed feelings actually exhilirating in some way to her? Is it purely the human tendency to seek relief or pleasure, in any form really, in a new fucked up normal? Any and all of that could work and I think the complexities are communicated well in the story without coming off as stupid and simple as other VNs would execute.
we also got a good glimpse of that in Ashe's date in the corruption path. you can see her change her mind over the course of the date, finally letting go and accepting it at the end. it's a little too fast, but the process is interesting to read and watch happen :)

I think that is a overestimation, would it be "too much" for many women? Yeah. For the majority of women even? Probably, but 99.9%? Nah man, I kinda doubt that. I mean, there is no rule that it has to go in balls deep in the first place and to get to the point you are either kinda dating, then she wont just up and leave just because the dick is too big or you organized a hookup, then she probably already knows what size you are.

(Also, a dick like a baseballbat gets you laid a lot nowadays thanks to hookup apps xP Enough size queens out there that jump on the opportunity, but yeah, the chance it works with a random girl at a bar is pretty low xD)
Late reply to this one, but I'd cautiously disagree. In some games, if you look at the renders and the MC puts it up against the girl it literally reaches to near the heart or sternum. One thrust to the hilt from from that would literally punch right through the reproductive system, and rearrange the intestines, diaphragm, stomach, and maybe even hit the lungs. I can't imagine in any world that would be pleasurable. But with no basis of comparison, I can just speculate.

Cassie - I found your porn collection Joshy how much fucking tentacle hentai do you need you pervert.
Me - But Cass sometimes I get horny.
Cassie - Save it you creep I can't even look at you right now.
Me - Come on sweetie lets go have some fun and cool off with some sexy roleplay in bed I'll be a tentacle monster, and you can be a Japanese school girl.

A beautiful Cold war negotiation scene !!
Who is going to break the ice and start talking to the other and making peace with each other ?

The normally most adult,but who sulks and angry sits there like a toddler whose toy has been taken away,
or the much younger sis,whose eyes almost come to tears from sadness,regret and loss for him,
and who really thinks,trembling about taking the first step ? :unsure:

Judging by this update, Nicki is more than earning her bucks. Her and Guy certainly have a mutually beneficial relationship assuming he isn't raping her. Even if you are regularly sexually assaulting her she still stays and puts in the work just as long as you compliment her on a few occasions.

Yeah, in those games that it's built around dude. In here I don't even know if I want a threesome with Nicki and Mason lol
I'm in exactly the same situation. I am not going to cheat on Nicki, but well Mason has such a cute ass. And is adorable to boot(-y). And now potentially Cassie too. I rarely have more than one or two saves for a game, but I may have to rethink that.

I don't know if you know this dude but we'll have to start over with the next update so I wouldn't start a save collection right now.

This site (like the rest of the Internet) does have its share of clued-in and well-articulated interesting people.

if I recall correctly only gonna be up till chapter 3 or so that is being reworked. So I might honestly just check out the new content and wait till chapter 11 to replay the game and make my saves.

Yeah, I skipped through the lastest chapter just to get a feel for some of things that happened, I am waiting for the rework then I will start setting up different saves.

I am super excited for Cassie content, can't wait for some sister loving and seeing her wear sexy clothes like that gold bikini.
