So I took a pretty big break, sometime last year, waiting for Gabby update, that should have come early 2024 (estimated back then). So have we gotten gabby content, or is it still pretty sparse? Especially on the path where you are a dick to her.

I think the next one is going to have Gabby if I recall correctly. It was going to be in the recent update but I think I saw a post saying decided to cut it out and put it in the next because of thinking might be not able to hit or deadline or some scenes ended up being bigger than he anticipated something like that.

Yeah, I have a bad habit of grossly underestimating how much work is going to go into an update..

Originally, Chapter 8, 9, and 10 were all supposed to be one update.

So, you'd wake up at Nicki's, your place with Ashe/alone, or in the office with Risa. Then you'd go to the convenience store and meet Brittani/Isabella, only to be pestered by influencers Blizzy and Cutiedoll. Then you'd return home and Risa would ask you for a ride, at which point you'd meet Lucien, Cherry, and Markus. After that, you'd bring Risa home, visit Alex, take Mason shopping, and finally bail out Gabby's dad, alongside Madison and Gabby.

Seemed simple enough! But, once I get into an update and it starts to hit 1k renders, I tend to go, "Alright, I need to find a jumping off point, here."

I have to say bro one of my favourite things about the game is the broader plot of having money and helping people. Other games have tried similar things but haven't pulled it off like this imo. And the name of the game fits the story perfectly.

And I don't have to bang all the girls if I don't want to which is great.

Guys I think I know how to check what size ring finger Mason is. I'll wait until his asleep and quietly measure then.
And what do I need to know his ring size for you might ask? Well it's a secret.

I've really enjoyed this game, and I get going for the darker corruption paths sometimes, but oof. Watching the video of the girls being raped in this one was really just painful. Even on my "dark" playthrough I could never help with something like that. Hope we don't have to watch that kind of thing again without a choice.

Neon has already confirmed that it should have been optional. I believe he will fix it in a future release.

Another way, if you're afraid of waking him, is to find a way to get his finger up your bum; that's the easy part imo. The hard part is you have to have a lot of prostate exams before your asshole figures out it's a natural meter for ring size. :coffee::whistle:

Another really good chapter from Neon. Quite dark though, and I do feel that the 'Cherry' part was too much on the nose, but I enjoyed it in the worldbuilding way. If what I read here is true, making the gangrape scene optional would be for the best. Once again, NeonGhost delivers a very good mirror of the lower and shittier parts of society, the mix between self justification, actual justification, shitty reasoning, selfishnes and others strike home.

Regarding criticisms, I'd do some adjustments to the MC X Rhodenbarr dialogue, so it'd feel more natural. Rhodenbarr comes in with a speech, like a stock character going to say his bit. There are people that speak in speeches, but this feels very stiff and unnatural compared to how well everything else in this game flows. I'd need to rewatch the scene to give more precise feedback though.

Risa is certainly my least favorite, but I like her a lot still. I just want more of the others lol. If I'm not remembering wrong, the next chapter should feature my favorite girls all together, Viola, Britanni with an 'i' and Gabby. Should be fuuuuuun. Also, Pepper is really growing on me. Twins... that, I did not expect.

I don't exactly remember what Cherry looks like, it's been a few days since I played the update, but I remember asking myself "Wait a hot minute, is that motherfucking Pepper?"

Is she?

In defense of the Rothschild dude. He's been through that routine before.
- His daughter is a troublemaker.
- He wants to keep her under strict control.
- She appears with Guy at home.
- They go to her room.
- Past experiences say they're taking drugs, fucking or both.
So telling the "new" dude to stay away from your daughter is normal in that scenario.

I will correct one thing. We weren't fucking we were making love. And that's what I would tell her dad if he asked what we were up to.
