tl;dr - please re-enable skipping.
--------------
Disabling skipping is a deal-breaker. I am not into alien sex but I'll tolerate it - but if I have to do two alien sex scenes per day to grind stats, why do I have to click-click-click through them dozens of times?? I only need to see goblins fucking the PC once (in apparently the only park that exists in the RenPy world). Similarly, if I get conditioned into speed-clicking as described, then sometimes I'm going to accidentally click past a new line and need to scrollback to read the previous line. Or maybe re-watch a good scene. After some googling, i was able to re-enable scrollback, but skipping is more deeply embedded to a degree I don't care to mess with.
I know devs like getting rid of those options for various valid reasons-- but I delete those games immediately, don't "watch" them here, and no way do I support them on big P or SS.
And I'll put my money where my mouth is: if you have re-enabled skipping and scrollback in your next release, please reply here and I swear I'll join your SS immediately.
