Oh shit, that'll be my accent talking through me again ^_^ we call em lifts over here in Ireland too lol!
You've also sort of "outed" yourself in SubscribeStar posts, saying that you were going to "get stuck in" on the work for the next update. That usage doesn't really appear in the US, but it's pretty common in the UK. I'm only very slightly familiar with Irish slang, so I just assumed that you were English.

Yeah, centuries of colonialism really did a number on the Irish language.

Sorry about that.

A question that maybe doesn't deserve an answer PaleGrass why did you set the game in New York State and not maybe in Ireland? For me that would have been great!

There seems to be a common agreement that VNs have to take place in North America or the UK, as if you would have to pay extra taxes because of Brexit or something.

It is a death sentence to call any Celt English.

New York state? I must have missed where that was mentioned. I had just assumed that the fictional city of Renshire was not fixed in any specific real world state, province, or country. Though I do have to wonder if the name was inspired by Renfrewshire, in Scotland.

It would need to be somewhere in the southern States in order to have Mayan ruins within a day's travel by car/bus.

It may not mean anything, but the number plate of Jayce's car (spaceship) :ROFLMAO: gives this clue

the threesome was great I wish it was animated xd

Otherwise I do not know if I am done.

Normally it says end of chapter or episode 2 but there is still some left like the Mod Shop and albiss Advertising. Can I reach exibitionism 3 here to get to the club?


As well as fitness and the bathouse.

That's another reason why I just assumed that it was set in an entirely fictional locale. You would actually have to be in Southern Mexico or in Central America to make it within a day. Even from the Southernmost point on the US/Mexico border, you'd still be looking at about an 18 to 20 hour drive.

That's good attention to detail, but I don't think it means anything, in this case. I'm pretty sure that this is the Daz asset in question. You can see that the New York plates come standard, from the store.

I can understand feeling protective of your characters, though it does seem odd to me that you should feel an urge to protect them within the context of your story. It would make more sense to me to be protective of your characters in the sense of wanting to protect them from misunderstanding and misrepresentation by the reader.

But I guess what you're describing really isn't all that unusual. It happened with J.K. Rowling and Hagrid. And the reverse happened with Agatha Christie and Poirot (She wanted to kill him off.). So your desire to protect your character within the story may be more common than I would guess. It's just not something which I've ever experienced.



I have a couple of problems with this line of thinking.

First, there's your insistence that the terms "tranny" and "shemale" are slurs. I would be willing to grant you that there are some people who use those words as slurs, with the intent to offend. But neither term was originally used as a slur, and both terms have been frequently self-applied by transsexuals in the past. For example, popular transsexual porn star Venus Lux often used the term "tranny" to refer to herself and her friends. And it would be very easy to come up with a handful of similar examples. An attempt to insist that these words are always slurs and must always be regarded as such is an attempt, whether intentional or not, to demonize anyone who may use the terms. In some cases, it may be an attempt to claim victim status. In some cases, it may be an attempt to discredit someone who holds a different opinion. In no case is it necessarily correct and must be assumed.

Second, there's your statement that the term "transsexual" is outdated. That's actually not how language works. A technical term within the context of a field of study (historical, medical, etc.) may become outdated when definitions and usages within that field change, but when it comes to daily usage in the general population, a word doesn't really become "outdated" until it has fallen out of usage for a long enough period of time that the word itself, or the previously held definition of the word, is no longer commonly known. And even then, the word is still not outdated for historical works, period pieces, or scholarship.

Now, there are some people who try to make rules for other people about what words they're allowed to say, and what they're allowed to think, and how they're allowed to act and feel. Those people will sometimes use terms like "outdated" or "unacceptable" when they're trying to lay down rules for others. Hopefully, you aren't one of those people. I'm certainly not going to assume that you are. But if you are, then it's probably best to just drop the subject now, because I don't allow other people to make rules for my words, thoughts, or feelings.



Yes, I agree that a developer might include a rape scene for other reasons than personal enjoyment, or even in cases when he or she personally dislikes that content, either because of a popular demand, or because it's important for the progression of the story. But it was already clear from past interactions that this was not the case for PaleGrass. And, since I was talking to this particular developer, I ruled out that assumption from the beginning.
I generally don't police what others feel comfortable with, or what others should say, so I'm certainly not one of those. I just happen to be part of trans spaces, where a lot of people are vocal about the things I've said in my previous post. And sure there's a handful of trans women that are comfortable with using words like tranny to describe themselves, and that's cool! It's the same as a black person using the N word. It's reclamation of a word that's often (In the west at least, where those words didn't originate) used to tear us down, and any trans woman who's comfortable with referring to themselves as such certainly has the power to do so. But as I said, they're a minority. Go to any serious trans space, say on reddit or other similar sites, or at a pride gathering, and the vast majority will agree that transsexual is an outdated term, and that tranny and shemale are offensive slurs. Though I'm not trying to police what others say, they're free to voice their opinion whether I agree with it or not, that doesn't mean that I, and many, many like me, would prefer that those words aren't generally used to describe us. Especially if it's a cis person using them, who has ZERO experience with the hate and ignorance that those words can be used with. So yeah, people can say whatever they want, I'm just trying to educate them, and whether they listen and learn or not is up to them. So there's no bad motives behind my actions, all I'm trying to do is share the perspective that I and a lot of other trans people share.

Lisa - Episode 2 Chapter 2 v.0.5 Final
(Unofficial Ren'Py Version)
Can you tell me a little bit about how this is different from the regular game? (I haven't played that either yet, and I'm trying to decide which to download.) Does it basically keep all the same gameplay but with mouse-based navigation instead of the tedious RPGM walking around? Or does it make the game more linear, like a VN?
