Downloaded the game after reading about it in another thread (God it's been a while) talking about this game as the unnamed game that another game was inspired by. Remember seeing it pop up years ago but the reviews at the time made me lose interest and oh boy am I glad they did. Started playing when 0.43 came out and finished the game near the end of November, and now finally caught up on this thread. This game is something else and after reading the posts of some made me realize how much I missed or didn't notice which lead me to reading posts from each new update after I finished each part from 0.3ish. I know if I started playing this game when I first saw it I would definitely been chopping at the teeth waiting for the next update (Also may of been swept up in the drama that happened).
I have very few complaints about this game and it made me realize how much I can now tolerate when it comes to these types of topics that pop up in the fiction I'm consuming. Somethings did make me have to stop and take a breather but I was never turned off the game and thankfully while I did feel and actually adore some of the characters when bad stuff happened to them I was able to only feel for them for a bit before moving on and seeing what comes next (Stomachache has been the only missed event I have, decided to try and see how it would go if I succeeded it but just seeing Io's expression from the get go made me nope back to a previous save and fail the event. The aftermath made me happy that I did and I am hoping Sel doesn't take that decision and make it a negative in the future)
While I know this game is a game with porn and not a porn game I am a bit annoyed we got way more off screen sex scenes in the later parts of the game then I thought we would, while I didn't mind with characters we have loads of content with the Maya stuff being skipped and Sana one when Imari was at the bar and she took him into the kitchen after Akira cut himself and we were told what happened felt off. I dunno could be me who plays these games and hates both having too much and not enough (Example would me My New Family, started the game and loved it but 2/3 the way through when most of the plot was done and was just non-stop turned me off and made me stop even though the game is complete)
Overall enjoyed the game, really enjoying the commentary in this thread, love the fanart thread, looking forward to the new updates (though may wait for a few to come out first before jumping back in, give me loads of content to play unless I read something in this thread that changes my mind.) and now to play other porn games and hope I don't lose interest or not enjoy them cause the level of storytelling in this one ruined it for me lol.
Edit: Forgot to add, adore Rin, Yumi, Miku, Sana, Ayane, Molly (Which made that flashback for Tsuneyo a bit hard to watch), Uta, Io, Yasu, Touka, Noriko, and the wizards and can't wait too see more content (Lewd and non-lewd) with them. The others I like but don't mind waiting for more content. (Though after 0.45 def wanna know more about Ami and all of that, ya know)
Welcome!
I actually had a similar experience with the whole catching up to the thread thing. This community is pretty active and interesting, especially if you then visit some of the other threads of similarly or even more popular titles where most of the posts contain about 1/10 of the intellectual quality you often encounter here. I'd actually be interested to see how this thread fares in comparison to the most replied to threads not by post count but word count, I wouldn't be surprised if it would be much closer then.
Speaking of other threads, I noticed one thing that I found quite funny and interesting.
You guys know that we dunk on Selebus all the time, complaining that he is an arrogant dickhead and that he used to be a good boy who'd post in this thread before he became a pissy boy.
Looking at the Being a DIK thread, I found it very interesting, if not even surprising, that the general consensus was that Dr. Pink Cake (the dev of BaDIK) is a greedy asshole who used to be wholesome but turned on his F95 community and is now swinging the banhammer at people daring to say anything negative
Here is a quote from the user
Better Cock Spock as an example (I really hope he does not mind me quoting him):
I didn't discover DPC/his games til a few years ago, or know that he had a different account from his official one.

(There is a whole discussion about it going on in that thread if you want to check it out)
It's funny to me to see the parallels. We shit on Sel all the time, but I guess it might just be, to some extent, in the human nature to become an egocentric ass once the money starts flowing in big time. Sure, DPC is presumably making a lot more cash than Sel, but the change in demeanor still seems very synchronic.
It makes me almost forgive Sel a little bit, or at least understand him better, seeing that he is not an outlier apparently.
And you still gotta give him credit for being very reliable and punctual with his updates, he rarely misses content wise as well. Whereas someone like DPC is getting criticized for the longer and longer delays in updates (now over 12 months for the upcoming one, likely to go to about 14 or 15 months) and relatively subpar content as of late.
I'm curious to see what you guys think of this.
Damn, imagine a timeline where Akira is a baseball enthusiast (like a football enthusiast in another timeline). It would make Io the winner. But there is a question: will Io agree to have sex with Akira or not?
I'm pretty sure in that world Akira would extend his base shift limit to make sure Io gets RBI'd to increase his OPS and HR ratio until she can't take the L's anymore and has to SO. Just gonna have to be careful to not get caught stealing.
(I actually don't really know much about baseball, so this doesn't necessarily make sense, but it sounds funny)
