Ignoring the raging monkey...

Anyways. Where were we?

Yeah, Madea's whole shtick is "slow burn romance" as it says on her character page someone posted a while back (the kemono link) but it's definitely a slow burn like boiling a pot of water with a candle kinda slow.

You know, I like this game very much, I love it, but recently I had a bit of a horrifying epiphany.
At this rate... I'm not confident it'll ever be finished, and worse, there's no incentive to finish it. I realized I kind of hate games that are funded by constant patreon donations because it incentivizes the creator to never finish it, like YandereDev. Why finish the game and cut off your funding when you can just keep adding new girls with ever-increasing branching paths, and not put any of that money towards hiring people to help program or write to increase the amount of updates per month, and instead just keep things at a trickle, with a steady guaranteed $400 every month+more?
When this game first came out, there were only 9 official girls- at 3 an update it'd only be 3 months to get each one's route expanded and then repeat. Now there are 20 guaranteed routes, because there's the mermaid lady and the queen- not counting the twins, Helga, and the multiple other aquatic giantesses there will likely be in the underwater kingdom. It went from 33% of the giantesses being updated a month to just 15%- that percentage gets a bit wonky with sponsored updates of course, but my point is that at this rate, there's no incentive to ever finish this game- it's been out for three years and at this pace of updates, excepting if they just get burnt out or bored and give it a rushed ending it'll be updating for another three years. I really hope I'm wrong, though.

The concern is valid, I too am not entirely pleased with the content being spread so thinly between so many routes.
But the amount of the content being regularly released is actually very commendable. Most other devs could never reach such a productivity rate.
Not even talking about the consistent quality of the content itself.

Fair enough. I have to respectfully disagree on both counts. First of all because the author doesn't have to be sitting with a cheat sheet about what a text explores, so they may be unable or unwilling to say. But also because we do this constantly with non erotic fiction all the time. Use it as analogue for real world goings on. Why would lewd giantesses be any different?

I see. Though I was trying to say that if we need to know what thoughts author actually put in his work, asking him would be the only way. It's not always necessary ofc, any of us can see different things in the same story, and may or may not use analogues with the real world.

For me it matters if the story, even in fantastic setting, was written just for fun, like GG, or was trying to make allusions with the reality or written under the influence of actual problems during that time period. For example, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was written under the influence of the paranoia brought by Cold war.
The writer was concerned, that mass surveillance and an attempt to eliminate communism empathizers among artists would do a lot of harm to further culture development.
That is why I can easily say that burning down libraries and supressing free thinking is wrong there, because these ideas were brought by the author himself, reflected the reality, and I generally agree to them.

And at the same if I read how Kendra, for example, destroys neutral towns, I will say, that killing is wrong, but still can try to find out what are her motives of doing this, that will not make me a fascist or a justifier of her actions. I don't need to compare it to S III Ohrdruf or something like that, there is no point.

You completely missed the point.
It's not about actually being superior or not, it's about using a percieved "superiority" to justify doing horrible things. You know, literally what fascist did in WW2 - ethnic cleansing of "inferior" people. And by your argument, they were right to do that.

Also, we don't have any proof of what caused neanderthals to go extinct. I believe the most probable cause are diseases that they could not develop immunity to. You know, like what happened to indegenous people of americas when european colonists arrived and brought smallpox with them.

All I hear in the back of my head reading your arguing with people is "ACKSHUALLY..." When you have no more ability to refute what I said than your own assumptions.

The real info on that, since you want to be "right" so badly on a PORN FORUMS:

You are clearly arguing just for the sake of arguing. Seriously do us and yourself a lot of time and kindly stfu. :)

No like I said I don't think anyone was trying to justify anything like that. But I agree it's the ol': "Sure William Afton bad, but it's the reason for bad that makes the story interesting"

Firstly, no I won't stop.
Secondly, fuck you. :p

I admit, I didn't know much about Neanderthals because I'm not a fucking paleonthologist or whatever. But that's not an excuse for you to be such a little bitch. :p

Since I am very mercyful. I have blocked both of you pitiful fools [Gojii and Spontaneous Combustion].
I'm never gonna interact with you ever again. You are not worthy of speaking to me.

I know right!?
I have at least over 100, and it becomes a chore when you have to scroll page after page looking for a specific save
Click to expand...
One page for Maryen, then an empty page after for future content, then a page for Eliette, empty page after for future content, then...
Like twenty times over. This is some of the most ambitious use of renpy I can think of. Like not me making many saves, the many branching paths and all the content in the game.

Disk size for my saves exceeds the game files, but I've been playing this on and off since one of the first couple builds after sperging out and subbing seeing AIK finally launched the game on dA years back so, like a handful dozen? maybe more versions of the game (and constantly not finishing all the content before the next build or two, and doing fresh saves most times, lol)

I really need to clean them up, considering almost every choice I've got a save for in case its a branching path/flag in a later update. :FacePalm:

I still can't find where does my OS keep these saves. I assumed it's somewhere in AppData, but couldn't find it anywhere.

I have deleted all my save games and replayed the whole thing twice, for cleanup purposes.
I keep telling myself that this time things are logically ordered and there won't be a need to do it again, but I also know that I'm an optimist goof.

Yeah. That's it exactly for Win 10/11 systems. Not sure for our Mac/mobile bros on that front though I'm guessing joiplay has specific folders for them.
