It's funny, I've always been a bit confused when folks complain about how difficult the poker is in this game as I've always found it pretty easy to win.

However, after spending the evening teaching my mother-in-law and 10yo twins how to play, I've got a better idea of how folks might struggle. They got to grips with 5-card draw relatively well, but Texas hold 'em kinda blew their minds.

My mother-in-law did get 4 straights in a row at one point though... what a shark.

Well ... I once was foolish enough to try to teach magic the gathering to my mother ...

No ... all things considered, texas hold'em is easy.

All you have to do when you lose is scroll back and keep replaying new hands until you win. It's never the same hand twice.

I think I heard that once upon a time at Central Perk coffee house - something Ross said !

Depends on the level of the girls playing as well. If you play against Joy or Jennifer you're still doing a lot of scroll backs as the two of them get better cards.

Quite frankly the strip poker mini-game is my least favorite feature even though it leads to greatness. Its inclusion is a no-brainer given the context but the execution makes the pace of the game slows down to a crawl. That is unfortunate as pacing seems to me to be one of the game's greatest strengths.

I'm thankful for the cheat though and I use it all the time. I understand that "strip blackjack" may not have the same ring to it but Blackjack with "best out of three rounds" would've rendered the mini-game suspenseful and rewarding while keeping the pace flowing.

Not trolling of course, just my humble unsolicited two cents.

Cheers

I usually use the Poker cheat that tells you who wins the hand, then either continue or fold. After doing it so much I don't want to bother with the save scumming.

I quite like the poker and the fact that it forces me to slow down a bit. Sometimes I feel like I'm just clicking through as I chase achievements. I can understand if folks don't like it though; poker isn't for everyone.

I'm still pleased that my daughters and mother-in-law asked to have another game. It looks like I didn't scare them off...

The roll-back function is good for the poker games without much content, but I'll always play without cheating on the girls that have more chat and teasing if they get their clothes back.

I'd quite like DarkHound to implement more chat in all the poker games as it adds a nice dimension and more immersion. There's nothing like getting teased about them winning clothes back after a bad-beat!

I'd love to get some depth, like if you fold when they're bluffing and they show the cards and give you a hard time over it. I'm not sure how the poker is coded, so that might be a bit much to ask though.

Admittedly my coding knowledge is rather small but that's quite the tall order you have here!

Though your ideas are pretty cool and I foresee that the inclusion of AI in adult games in the near future may very well offer that kind of detail and beyond. Fun times ahead!

Well, you don't go, you are carried.

You have to go jogging on the beach around noon, the complete required trigger is in the guide.

Have a read of The Companion Guide which tells you how to get to the Underground lab.
Also other info you may find useful.

Page 123.
You are probably going to need to get Miriam and Mercedes strength quest parts completed first...
So will have to find those parts in the guide yourself.

Nice! That is very hot.

I just wish Daz would model arms correctly when they bend. The shape of the bicep looks really weird for that pose. Obviously that's not your fault DuckSwim, you've done a great job within the constraints of the software.
