If nothing else, I just love the fact that you are one of the few writers who not only can surprise me, but does on a fairly frequent basis.
*curtsies*
Mad skillz there!
Only knew one guy who could do that one handed, but ho only had one arm, so did not have a lot of options. That said, he used 1.0 glueless papers, so mad props!
It was back in my army days. I used to keep my smokes in my top pocket of course and, of course, throwing yourself on the ground on a regular basis meant they got squished to buggery. So rollies....

Of course, you then find yourself driving for hours on end with a pack of rolling tobacco...so you learn how to do it! :) It's either that or not smoke.

Yep, you've still got it, even though we haven't seen any other chapters yet, you still have the ability to wow us!
You're going to love Four. But I'm defo getting a new machine for Five as all this dead time is just pissing me off tbh. I know, I know, the remaster was my call but it's the sheer amount of rendering time per render generally which is maddening.

Just on characters generally...

I think I've said this before but probs worth mentioning again. With my characters being more fleshed out and with greater depth than your average porn game characters there is an awful lot that neither you nor the MC know.

As the game progresses, you may well find out more about them - you may not. Your mileage may vary.

But I will promise you several things here and now.

1. My characters will -always- behave consistently to their own rules. Sometimes it may not seem like it, but that is just down to you not knowing everything.

2. I will try to mindfuck you with your own likely assumptions about them :) (a girl has to have her fun too, no?)

3. I will also toy mercilessly with you, for my own entertainment, in respect of getting you to like/dislike characters and then dropping some other knowledge or scene in which changes your opinion. (a girl has to have...oh, I did that one). BUT they will be behaving consistently.

In respect of some of the heavier more serious paths in H5 (and remember all paths are optional)

4. On some paths I will break your heart.

5. On some paths I will tempt you to make decisions which, if you make them, I doubt very much you'll tell anyone here you did...

Righties! More remastering for me! Laters :D
Well you having fun is kinda important, so guess I will have to learn to live with that. Might still have the wish to be able to spank you once or twice though:p and yeah knowing myself both the broken hearts choices and those you might not wish to share are not impossibilities. :whistle:

Well I used to be able to roll them one handed when still used to bike to school. :p To be honest I still prefer rollies when smoke regular tobacco over cigarettes. Not really a fan of the contraceptives they put at the end of almost all cigarettes nowadays. :ROFLMAO:

Now here we really do miss a tap on the shoulder emoji or a hug emoji. Hang in there:)

Oh don't blame me if you get your heart broken! That will be down to choices you made - not me! I just write the options y'know....

As to the other choices....well, I'm shocked you'd even think of them. *shakes head sadly*

Unless you're off-road, driving & rolling at the same time isn't that hard really. Just rest your wrists on the lower part of the wheel (or hold it with the pinkies). I've known some truckers steering with their knees while rolling as well. Not too different from rolling on the bicycle. Provided the wheels of your bike are well calibrated. :rolleyes:

Tssk first you tease and tempt me to roleplay and try a few things and then you are shocked if people actually fall for the tempting and teasing. Methinks you underestimate how successful a temptress you are milady Naughty.

I used to preroll a few just for that occasion.

Going to be stunning what you can do with it I am sure. Good luck I hope you manage.

Knowing me, I am sure that is going to happen on literally every playthrough. There is almost no way around it if I am reading this correctly.

Oh there is. Totes!

If you play down the "slacker" route, you can just have a good light hearted time really. It's only if you start poking around or taking your mission seriously that it starts to get darker.

It's one of the things I'm most proud of tbh. That the whole feel of the game can vary hugely depending on player choice. A good example I suppose would be Chris and Sarah perhaps. Do one playthrough being all professional and spending as much time as possible with Chris and then do another spending as much time as possible with Sarah.

Obvs I can't make everything different, but hopefully there is sufficient that the feel of the game changes. Certainly this becomes more so as the game goes on.

Well we are dealing with someone who can give clues in the minutest of details and almost everything happening has a meaning, so it would make sense the title has a meaning as well. It may be a while before we fully get it though. :p
I know, I know, which is why it dumbfounds me. I'm always trying to look for possible wordplays and the like, but it never crossed my mind to look at the title.:oops:

I will get back to you about this at the end of chapter 10, just remind me:p

If I had the skill to do renders like yours, I don't think I would leave my computer! Oh the things I would do with Becca, Sarah, Annie, Chris, Kelly... you get the drift :oops:;) I suppose I'll just have to wait for CH4 instead :)
Too kind as always :)
But I'd be more worried about the things Chris will do to you in Four tbh. *still aches if the weather is damp*

Edit: I seriously am thinking about having to put a warning up for that scene.

You should know how much I love wordplay by now Mr Freezer :)

The title is perhaps not as much a coincidence as some would think.... ;)
Considering the typical story structure - Chapter 5 falls right at the halfway point - where everything is terrible. :eek:

Following that, the baddies (characters/situations/whatever the outside force is) start closing in. (Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, it does.)

Then comes the "all is lost" moment, and the "dark night of the soul." Everything the hero has/knows no longer has any meaning or use. It's the "why hast thou forsaken me?" moment of the arc.

It's only after all hope is lost that the hero can come back and use the lessons learned along the way to stop the baddies/solve the problem/shag the landlady and roommates in a massive orgy - and then the closing scene, and... credits.
