You can choose room service girl for the week at the reception....
I don't think Yvette doing room service is required for this scene. The reference to Jessica and Desire is there because they also visit the MC's room without doing room service. And you can't get rid of the room service girl, there is always one.

I don't think it matters if Yvette is the maid or or reception or nothing, but the less she has to do, the higher the chances that she will come crying to your door.

She will not come if she has a job at the time the event tries to spawn.
So roomservice and reception blocks it if she is already there.

Also she needs high love.

Furthermore the game needs to have progressed a number of days.
So she is not going to drop around in the beginning days of the game.

All short events work with a cooldown, so if they are on cooldown, no amount of trying will work.

Regarding the cooldown, do you mean that there is a cooldown period for each event, each girl or all short visits, or all events?
For instance, if the cooldown period is 24 hours, and Yvette comes to my door to ask about another girl: , Yvette won't come back for 24 hours to ask about another girl, but she might come crying to your door (event); Yvette will not return for 24 hours, but Renee could come looking for a toothbrush at night (girl); when the maid comes to clean your room, you may still get a visit from Jessica about her batteries (short visits); or if the maid comes to clean your room, no other girl will visit your room without an appointment (all events).
I've made the assumption that it is all short visits and added the info to my FAQ.

I've added a lot to my FAQ; so seriously this time:
SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

I have made a checklist for all of the current achievements.
I have collected all the answers for Hotshots, collated them and listed them under each girl who is listed alphabetically.
I have collected all of the words used in Hangman and listed them by length, then alphabetically.
These are all at the end, so that if you want to discover them for yourself instead of cheating, just don't look. See above: SPOILERS!

I'm pretty sure it is up to date for 1.7.2, but there are now 67 answers (including how to get Heather to Pole Dance for you); so I may have missed a little, here and there.

Nice, you should submit it to Pepé Le Pew so he can update the OP. No need to continue to update the Guide, which was never a walkthrough, whereas your FAQ is.

That is horrendously difficult to answer.
It depends on the event. Some share, some do not.

The newer short events seem unique and grouped together as one or two types of events.

ex. Girls visiting our room are a type of Short Event (there are others) and they do seem to share some timers ex. they cannot spawn within a few hours of each other and cannot themselves repeat within some days.

Moving beyond that to events in general (and what even is an event and what is not) it gets very tricky.

In general it is safe to simply assume there is a cooldown or more in operation for any event either for when it can reoccur or when others linked to it can.

Although not absolutely necessary the Guide could use some updates. It is at 1.6.0 level and does not mention Mercedes and Miriam. And maybe by 1.8.0 all the UI changes could make an update inevitable. It is not a walkthrough in the strict sense but is a good explanation of the general mechanics of the game.

I also posted on DH patreon page.

darkhound1, I checked the memory usage while playing (with HWmonitor) and it seems that is the graphic card memory that is over used. I have a 2Go GC and at the end of the day (in game ), it can be at 90% usage if I played hotshots, toyed with the room wallpaper and such. Note that now I rarely crash because of the mem purge but the leak remains. I think you never have been able to reproduce it because of your high video memory.

I had a weird thing happen in poker. Playing Lacey, she had a Flush, but I had a Straight Flush. I should have won, but because her flush had a higher card, the computer said she won. I've attached a pic.

Maybe the problem is that there is already a Flush on the table without involving your cards? Or the game doesn't know about Straight Flushes.

From the text it looks like the Straight flush is not detected. I need to check this. Takes a lot of time unfortunately if I can't see the problem directly from the code without debugging it.
