I definitely understand that. I was polyamorous from the get-go, and I always had the dream of a huge poly household/commune/compound with dozens of (shared) lovers. I never did achieve that goal, so perhaps that's one reason I like cooperative, consensual harems. I don't like the feeling of having to be on edge of discovery. My first wife had DID, so some of her alters were fine with non-monogamy, some of her alters were much more conservative. I didn't find out about her condition until years after our divorce--the confusion and tension made so much more sense. As a result, I don't like having to walk a tightrope in my games. I have a hard time getting into "Where the Heart Is," because of that aspect.
My second wife was not much better. She's the one who asked to open up our marriage (she knew I was poly by nature), but in her case, it was actually a manifestation of being bored with one relationship and finding ways to step out without risk. She wasn't very honest about it. You'd think I'd be likely to fall into the "No NTR!!!1!" camp, but though I think I wouldn't enjoy a true netorare story. I know enough to realize that most of what people complain about isn't. For instance, I was not interested in exploring all the available endings in The Babysitter. Having her abort and walk away to a life of empty sex was hard to take. Actually, I couldn't take it. I had to immediately try again to get one of the good endings. I've had enough relationship pains already, thank-you-very-much.
My own daughter, born in 1985 with my first wife, has had it rough. She seems to have made peace with her life and has a (chaotic) family with her four kids. Two birthed by her ex-wife, two she gave birth to with her husband.
My son, born seven years later is truly a child of the Internet age. Though my second wife was a manipulator, my son had the advantage of having two father figures from age five to the present (the other being a Sr. Software Engineer). He is an anthropologist and an IT techy.
I think I would be content with self-driving flying cars.
Sign me up!
Not gonna lie marrying twice sounds like suicide in rates to me.
My current GF had no kids but one on the way and is only a bit older than my eldest daugther. God was cruel to me and only gave me three girls. Lets hope this one is a boy.
The eldest is born 1987 so i can kinda understand.
I was always the monogamous type. But i don't judge.
So while one of my daughters is biological not mine (ending first marriage) i am still called dad and a couple years ago was handed the famous adopt papers as a birthday present. Well to be fair there was alot of stuff that ended that marriage but cheating was a major player in that one.
NTR games are a nightmare for me as i relive basically what happend to me in this regard. On the other hand in stuff like "the Tyrant" i do not mind it cause it is rather mild compared of what the MC is doing on his own depending on which path you choose. (and you know i choose every path there is
)
But in "The Babysitter" i couldn't take it as well getting a bad ending cause who am i kidding of course we play all routes to see which one is the best. Only to realize you instant regret this approach. There are sadly many games out there who do that. Acting Lessons was all fun and well until i went towards the ending with a big "Are you fucking kidding me?" Face....... DrPinkCake how could you do this to me after i helped you?
Thats what i don't get in this dev industry. I mean we play stuff to escape from our own reality not to be reminded of the shit life has to offer sometimes. On the other hand maybe it is exactly such gut wrenching stuff that makes us not forget certain aspects of a game we absolutely hate yet still come back to figure out how to do better. A late life lesson in a fictional universe.
Probably because i have 3 girls i can relate to the silly dad and daughter stuff in Light of my Life that well. I remember my eldest and me watching movies like predator and conan and making silly faces and dumb quotes at every occasion. And embarassing her whenever i could. Girls dont have dads. They have big brothers with attitude pretending to be the dad.
As for the future stuff. We already have flying cars. Well sort of but we do not have the hoverboard yet. If they manage to make the REAL one we can get flying cars with the same technology but they won't do it. But according to Terminator we all have 4 years left until the machines take over. So they better hurry.
We need to discuss this sierrabot elephant in the room!
All we need is that Elon Musk knows. Or someone with enough money and tech to make it happen. Does anyone know a huge pervert with lots of money who we could hook up on that idea?
Hugh Hefner would be all over this if he was still alive. "Like my Bunnies but they never age? Where do i sign?"
Basically all we need is more money...... My god i sound like Dutch van der Linde.....Guys... i have a PLAN
