VN Ren'Py Move the Chains [v0.2 Bugfix] [MissFortune]

[Dark Silence]

I do agree that some of it gets a little too in your face, but you've also got to consider the setting of the game. Texas isn't exactly a progressive stronghold in America. The same year that China opened its first youth transgender clinic politicians in Texas started drafting what's commonly referred to as anti trans legislation. While I've never been there to discuss transgender issues with Texans I'm guessing the character's probably match public perception there pretty decently. You're likely bound to find people even in a high end professional setting making regressive comments about "apache helicopter people".
For what it's worth there's about a 50/50 that I'll use the censor patch, not because I dislike that the dev put those jokes in, but because I just think it'll make the characters making those jokes more likeable.

Why should we like people like that? We have those types of people posting in this thread. I don't like them, I don't want to like them. I'm far from being politically correct, but fuck me runnin. These people are so fuckin annoying. There's no need for all this over-the-top bullshit. So, no. I don't want to like them.

I want to like them because at the end of the day I'm really only here to jerk off. If a hot chick says something that makes me not like her, but I'm given the optional to make her not say it I'm going to at least consider taking that option. Since I don't ever reject anyone in harem games it just makes it more enjoyable for me to not have to worry about it.
Someone making the apache helicopter joke to me in person would be no bueno but if that's my only issue with her then I'll just use the patch and pretend the line doesn't exist.

But this is not "the internet"...

Fuck me... Imma gettin' ma money back from that no good lyin' Service Provider! He told me this would be the internet!

...spouting incel-edgelord internet-rethoric regarding lbtq/trans...

The fact that you think I have any clue what the hell you just tried to say there tells me there are a LOT of things about the way you think that I don't want to know.

...So sure, the dev is allowed to do that (free country and all), but...

"but", in this case, meaning disregard what was just said... Aaaaaannnnndddddd I rest my case.

If you don't like her then avoid her. you don't have to like all the lis like I am also avoiding ivy for obvious reasons

 

[Faptime]

Going forward, there'll be choices for that type of content. Honestly don't remember why I didn't for that one.

I actually liked the scene, and in my opinion it made sense given Ivy's personality: she's a total sub and Renee comes along and pushes her to take that first step.

But because Renee is a deplorable pervert, she interjects herself into the situation because she wants some fun too.

Honestly, the only thing I would have changed is to have MC lean over and whisper into Ivy's ear "The safe word is pineapple. You say that, and we stop, no hard feelings". I think something like that would show that MC is okay being a very dominant lover, that Ivy is totally okay with being a bottom buttslut, and that Ivy (not MC, not Renee) was the one truly in charge of that situation.

For me, the explicit consent to be treated like a sex toy is the hottest aspect: Ivy desperately wants what's happening, and Renee and MC can see it, but they know she's too shy to ask for it so they take what they want with Ivy having the safety of knowing she can shut it all down.

That would have been the chef's kiss.

Texas isn't exactly the conservative stronghold it used to be either. And here we're talking about, among others, a teacher and a lawyer, meaning university educated professional women. Not exactly the kind of people most likely to both think and sound like a shitposter on 4chan. And I repeat, two of them talk like this to a stranger who they can't know for sure how he is going to react. Most people are, regardless of ideology, more careful with out of the blue introducing their divisive political opinions to strangers, and clients/customers no less.

But even so, one brass, cursing and shit talking super conservative university educated lady would be fine. People can be different. The real problem for me is that it's not one, not two, but three different women who, in the span of a couple of days in game and a couple of minutes for the player, spout the same kind of unlikely opinions in the same kind of unlikely language. Then it's not one different character, but the dev screaming his political views to my face. And that ruins the immersion for me.

The fact that you think I have any clue what the hell you just tried to say there tells me there are a LOT of things about the way you think that I don't want to know.

At least two thirds of those words are found in this very game we're talking about. But maybe you didn't understand it then either? Could be the reason you're defending it...

"but", in this case, meaning disregard what was just said... Aaaaaannnnndddddd I rest my case.

I guess you forgot that you were complaining about a review docking the game one star for being overly political. I gave you an explanation for why this is annoying (I agree with the reviewer). If you don't want to understand, that's up to you.

Why do most games and novels state pineapple as a safe word ??

As long as it's not on pizza, it's fine with me.

If I was going to turn down girls then I wouldn't be playing a harem game. I'd play one of those boring narrative heavy single LI games, blehhh. I play these games for one thing alone, the good story telling and likable characters are really just a bonus to me. If the option to make certain characters less unlikable is available the why wouldn't I take it?
Besides, I'm not the MC. Just because talking like that would be crossing a line in the sand for me doesn't mean it is for the MC. I'm not going to turn down a potentially sweet and loving relationship for him and gratuitous sex scenes for me just because I dislike someone.

I do all the time. So far, there's only one girl I like in this and the rest just aren't for me. Well, technically two. Sammy's girl.

 

[deadremix]

anyone one else have a problem when u save a game and it turns on skipping when you leave save menu?

No problem here.

 

[MissFortune]

Full-fledged skipping, as in like fast forward? Or more like the text moves on its own after a couple of seconds (aka "Auto Forward Time")?

If it's the latter, I believe I've already fixed it and should be coming with the 'official' public release tomorrow-ish.

 

[Wen I Say]

IDK if this was addressed but the ambient audio is crazy loud, shit I thought I was playing this outside. I don't think the ambiance is adjustable which is a bummer.

Was referenced a couple pages ago, working on trying to figure it out.

And a bloody lovely quote it is too. But, honest bro, I just borrowed it for a bit. You can have it back now.

I wasn't going to comment any more on here but I have to respond to this
Games with single love interests are boring?
I have to strongly disagree
Have you played games like Being a Dik

Sorry but all the harem games I have played have a garbage story and a boring edgelord mc

Harem games are all the same
"guy has a girlfriend who pushes him to bang other girls"
Look at the garbage that is WVM
Barely any story
It's just soulless sex scenes

That is why I HATE harems

Who plays these games for the sex scenes that's what pornhub is for imo

My comments might sound harsh but that is what I belive
