Just for fun. Someone on my Discord mentioned clown porn, and then my fever-addled brain decided that this needed to happen.

This is what Gaby looks like when she gets angry because the MC doesn't want to announce their relationship to the whole world. It's not that he doesn't love you, but that the MC lives off his public image now.

I wonder when they'll address the issue of Guy not being interested in monogamy.

NeonGhosts, how much time/money does it take to set up a powerful server?
Last time i bough a server (for a small company i worked for) they spent 12 grands. But it wasn't a very heavy duty machine, more of an application server for, let's say, an appointments scheduling and billing application.

I'm assuming you mean my rendering setup? If so, I spent around $1700 or something obnoxious like that on my PC. But, it's important to note a few things.
  • I bought it during the pandemic, when crypto prices were climbing sky high and as a result mid-tier GPUs (and PC parts as a whole) were at an exorbitant price.
  • I bought it (from ) rather than build it, because it'd been a decade+ since I built a PC, and I wasn't in the mood to re-learn everything. Plus, comparison-shopping for parts revealed that it really wouldn't save me much money to build it myself. And I got a one-year warranty on it. So, no regrets.
  • A comparable system to what I have can now be had from the same company for about $1,000.
  • My system really isn't that great, especially compared to what a lot of the top-tier AVN folks use. The GPU is limited on VRAM, it's air-cooled instead of water-cooled, I skimped on the storage (which is becoming a problem as my Daz library grows), and the PSU needs upgraded if I want to slap a new GPU into it. But, it's served me well, and I plan to upgrade it after the release of the next chapter.
Now, when you factor in things like Daz assets, paying an actual CPA to handle my taxes and write-offs, modest increases in electric bills, office furniture, etc. the cost is somewhere around $6,000. But, my supporters have been very good to me, so it's been more than worth it.
