I got my arms and elbows if it becomes to painfulJust imagine Des hands chaffed from headpatting and bellyrubbing
btw, it's not "alter-ego" or "self-insert", it's "author surrogate", that's what Val is (allegedly)...
carry on...
Yes... there are plenty of different terms that people wrongly use interchangeably for that sort of thing...
An alter-ego is an alternate identity, most commonly used by actual spies/agents and artists too (like Kindra and DJ Kink in Artemis), but to explain it simply, just think about it this way: Clark Kent is Superman's alter-ego (and also his secret identity, but a secret identity is not always an alter-ego).
A self-insert is when an artist literally put themselves in their work, so like an artist painting themselves in the background of their painting, or a director appearing in a shot in their own movie as themselves, for example.
An author-surrogate is a fictional character that is somewhat based on the author, they're usually used as a vehicle to convey or express the author's opinions or experiences in their work without self-inserting... it's very common for authors to use these, and it's very likely many MCs in AVNs are author-surrogates.
From what I read some time ago, Val is just a character that shares some of Nyx's behaviors and maybe experiences, but she's not supposed to represent Nyx directly, because Val is fictional... I doubt Nyx is a young latino girl... but like I said, "allegedly" because I've never seen a direct quote from Nyx talking about it.

Sounds like you need to play untwined instead of intertwined.
I don’t particularly care for the sex scenes in this game either, but not every AVN needs to be a porn vehicle. This is more of a slice-of-life with some sex scenes sprinkled on top. And I’m here for it.
Fair enough! I suppose I am guilty of using the terms lazily as well, although more as conversational shorthand than any conscious belief that they mean exactly the same thing. But I do understand the distinctions you're making, and it's never bad to encourage people to speak precisely. That's why we have all these different words to begin with, after all.

She has an absolutely banging body, but I don't like her character/personality, so I skip her and just check out her scenes in the gallery.

I'm too lazy to look for a link before my morning coffee, but I believe it was one of Nyx's AMAs where she talked about the similarities between herself and the Valeria character.
I just hope that Nyx adds Valeria as an official LI soon. She is probably my second favourite LI in this, so it would be a shame if we didn't get an ending with her.
