VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [S1 v0.85c] [NeonGhosts]

[throatloverjj]

Folks and Neon I have a minor question if you don't mind answering it.
I know Ashe's bracelet bothered MC during conversations, but I have different question bugging me from several days. I played completely dark path on Ashe, and in the picture you can see he is saying something to broken Ashe...
What does he mean by saying she'll get the bottle again? did he hit her with bottle or the bottle was inserted/placed somewhere where it wasn't supposed to be? And also would we get to see the 2nd grape scene with Ashe (where she's awake and scared shitless) or would it remain glossed over forever like it is in V0.4?

Tf? This shit is too much. I'm putting dark pathers on ignore now. Nothing against y'all, this is an all me issue.

You know me, bro. I talk that ignore shit, but I never do it. I just wasn't expecting it this early in the morning. I guess I need to get used to it.

Don't worry bro I'll cheer you up with more simping content after the next update
But right now I'm running on fumes

It's always astonishing to me, how many people here are intolerant of other people's kinks and interests.
Personally, I normally like to play the good guy, and thus I am a complete softie in this game to all the ladies, but even if I don't understand how you could ever try to attack Viola (except to just check how the scene would play out) and continue the story on that path, if someone wants to play the dark path, let them.

Even if you personally have a problem with certain content, others just enjoying it, doesn't hurt you.
IMO, playing something in a game has nothing to do with reality, except as a fantasy, and for some people it might even be a way to relieve a bit of pressure.

I mean, obviously we live in a time when even just saying something that others find offensive can get you into trouble, but intolerance and kink-shaming here always seems like the weirdest shit, considering all except the guys who only like single LI vanilla romance have their own diverging interests.

BUT OF COURSE, EVERYONE WHO CAN HURT MASON OR VIOLA OR ANY OF THE OTHER SWEET GIRLS IN Friends in Need IS A PSYCHOPATHIC MONSTER!!!
just kidding

Edited to add: This isn't a response to Dark Silence at all, I got that he wasn't serious.

Honestly, I can put up with any content in a game really
As long as its avoidable & Neon does a great job of giving players choices for that sort of stuff

I have played too many games on here that just force things on the player
But not here this game is awesome & has lots of choices.

Agreed on all counts, but when it comes to unavoidable content, at least we can just stop playing the game. Some people demand the dev change their whole game, because something that is part of the story isn't to their liking.
Like a rival for the LIs affection or a flawed character with a not so perfect past...

The shit may bother me and I talk crap about using the ignore button, but I never do. I've got 2 solo saves, Gabby and Mason. But it still bothers me when I see things about all the girls. People can call me weak or whatever, it's all good. I'm just old and things bother me more than they did back in the day. I have no hate for any of these guys or the path that they play.

You don't have an Ashe save?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Joshy92]

You are all more organized more than me
At the moment I'm just choosing whatever and banging everybody
That'll change once the restart is needed though
I'll keep better track of things then

 

[Dark Silence]

No. Just Mason and Gabby. Ashe is a lovely girl, just not for me. Hell, all the girls are awesome.

Hey, honestly I don't like it much either, whether it's in this game or there's one or two other games where you both have well written characters AND can do horrible things to them, it does kind of shock me when I read how people enjoy that.
But then again, to each their own.
I also find nothing wrong with expressing a different opinion, just when it comes to people seriously questioning someone's morality or character or act as if liking something in a game is basically doing it in real life, that's kind of fucked up in its own way, if you know what I mean.

 

[The Anti]

I have a save where I’m as mean as possible and a save where I’m as nice as possible, I prefer the evil save but I play both, Might as well get all the content I can.

I get it. I think it's funny when people get really upset over a femboy/trans character in a game, who is avoidable/optional. Hell, one dev basically had to add an option at the start of the game, even though the option already exists when you meet the character. I personally like that content and laugh every time I get a facepalm over it.

In some games I may do some dark path stuff but it depends on how dark it gets. I know it's just a game but certain things I can't do even in a game. I am glad that the dark path is avoidable in FIN, I enjoy the light side better. To each their own.

Honestly this is the first game ive played with a MC that can do dark shit. At first I thought I might be okay with it. As I kind of liked liked the aspect of the trauma it caused for for the LI and allowed a storyline for the MC to be there for them and help them in other games. So I figured what the hell give it a try even tho it different since it be the MC doing it. After the first dark scene I quickly realized it was just the good writing around the dark scene in other games and allowing the MC to be there for them is what I liked and not the Dark scene it's self.

When I tried the dark path for the first time in this game I couldn't even watch the entire Nicki Assault scene it was too much for me. I ended up just skipping past those scenes but still played the path as I wanted to see what kind of things would happen in the story. I think I would honestly only ever be able to be okay with a Dark scene if it isn't the MC doing it and there is a storyline that goes with it.

I started a dark path, but saved it right at the first Nikki choice. Haven't touched it since. But that was because I actually saw what The Anti posted the same day I started it.

You're missing out if you don't try the Corruption path. There are some great scenes in the Corruption path. The Dark one is too edgy for me tho. It can be hard to navigate the corruption path without falling in the dark one but you can use a walkthrough.
