I'm sure that teacher (not in the US) of more than 40 years will be delighted to hear that he was insulted by a young fledgling.
Take an aspirin for your pain you got because of an imagined cause.

Dude or dudette, something I discovered when I first started a creative writing career (which was originally in novels, not games), was that English teachers are mostly only good for technical arguments. Even at the college level (I did, in fact, take college level writing courses), most of them don't actually know what they are doing. They can talk about sentence structures until they are blue in the face...and most of it gets thrown out the airlock the first time you have a painful encounter with a professional editor from a publishing house. I had to unlearn so many things that English teachers and professors had insisted were the right ways. For boobs sake, some of them are still teaching that you can't start a sentance with 'and.' Which isn't even an actual rule, let alone a thing to avoid. Maybe your old teacher wasn't an idiot. But if that was a sample of his or her advice, I wouldn't bet on them.
What in the nine hells gave you the impression I don't like the games.
Good for you. We here, however, are pirates. I'm not asking for anyone's permission or forgiveness for being one. Regarding the economic aspects of artistic endeavors vs. the morality of monetization strategies of non-rivalrous goods, that's a conversation I'm only willing to have in person, in the presence of copious amounts of alcohol; suffice it to say here that nobody is entitled to compensation merely for performing work...
*shrug* My apologies then. To me, your posts both came off as extremely confrontational. But, given my history here on F95zone of having a few people rather viciously attack me (to the point that they are the reason I stopped working on Sexy Cosplay Cafe, and nearly gave up on Chastity Quest too), it's completely, 100% possible (even probable given what you just said), that I was looking for destructive criticism where it wasn't.
No. You are a pirate. There are plenty of perfectly honest people that use F95zone. Also, the idea that no one is entitled compensation for performing work is literally the stupiest thing I've ever heard. And I've been subjected to lectures by flat-earthers in the past. I'd also wager you wouldn't support that argument when you've worked a 60 hour week, your rent is due, you need groceries, and your boss suddenly tells you he won't pay you just because you worked.
*raises hand*
Trust me, I know the feeling. Though, in my case, it's mostly because everyone that knows me assumes I'm sarcasic by default
. I'm usually pretty good at reading tone from text...but I kinda feel a spike of dread every time I open F95zone. So I'm not exactly surprised I misunderstood. Sorry :-(.. It's surprisingly easy. All those little places for sarcastically written business expenses...
Annnnddd you would be completely correct. Doesn't really matter for the public release, since that variable is related to gallery unlocks. But still important. Thanks for reporting it, not sure how it got missed in testing, given that I have to test each gallery unlock when I make them. *scratches head in confusion*
Ugh. You're the second person to comment on the H-scene buttons. I find them easy to read or I wouldn't have use those colors. But I'll maybe experiment with another option. I don't want something that doesn't match the general color tone, though, since then they are obnoxiously obvious.Started playing and it looks great and is really interesting so far... one thing, the H scene control buttons, the text is really hard to read; maybe a much lighter font colour would make them more readable?
EDIT If Ariana is almost 250, that would make her "in her third century"
Strictly speaking, Left Hand Magic is a reference to
Oops? That's actually a left over from the original Patron-only release. The patch has already been incorporated into the Public Build so no, you don't need it. I just forgot to delete the patch zip file after patching the distrubition copy...
You need not give the reference but thank you. The left and right path in occult is from my experience either the idea of 'something above you' or 'finding your own path through yourself'. It is frequently explored in the Kabbalah, the idea of unification with the higher being or the individual self deification. An image I use is that while we have been birthed out of G-d we still have the umbilical cord, do we pull that cord and endeavor to once again have that state of being where there was no pain, no anger, no worry, no bills, no work, only complete unification with the mother or in this case creator of all, that state of innocence in the garden of Eden OR do we finally become our own person and seek to cut the umbilical cord once and for all?
Usage of the term varies pretty widely, for those are are even familiar with it at all. Which, I've discovered since naming the game, isn't that common, apparently
. The usage I'm most familiar with is splitting magic usage between black magic and white magic (Left and Right respectively), which I think is the most common usage of the terms. Even if possibly not the most accurate. Though I've also encountered the less common definition of of the 'right' path being those that seek to serve a diety and the 'left' path being those who bow to no one. I know there are several other definitions that differ widely depending on their source, as well.
Same reason people scatter after I've had several pints and a Hot Garlic Curry with vegetables.
