You can be sure if I ever return to the States I would eat a burger before what they call a paella there. I'm not a paella zealot (like a lot of Spaniards are) but I've seen truly horrendous things labeled as "paella". And the only asset I've seen for paella looks so wrong I don't know what one is it.

The one on the right VAGUELY looks like a take on cioppino - maybe with all of the seafood that can be in either dish they figured "meh?".

Saffron is too expensive to do a paella justice here, though I had a couple of decent ones at a tapas place near Rice University - they also did this curried monkfish to die for. Since the saffron thing is out of the question, I do the "Acadian" version of paella: jambalaya. I know they aren't the same, but they share a similar concept and can both be very good when done properly.
In a "American Style" burger joint I was served a "special" burger with the fries INSIDE it. Not that it wasn't tasty, but it made the whole affair unbalanced in taste.
Haven't seen the fries done here (Texas, or anywhere I've traveled around the States - sounds Canadian :LOL:), but doing a burger with blue cheese inside, or grinding bacon into the meat, and putting cheddar inside, are a couple of variants I've done and enjoyed. Like many such things, you have to be careful with the proportions.
Yes, and soon you will see the "studendts " "take in MC's hammer" :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

My daughter likes to put fries in her burger. I like ones that put an onion ring in it. Of course I like mayo on it, but that seems something that others don't like. I think it was a complaint in a movie, some Americans in Montreal complaining about mayo in their hamburger (The Whole Nine Yards I think).
Don't know if any holidays in August in the U.S., there is one in Ontario, Canada (and some of the other provinces).
Onion rings on a burger is a favorite and you can get them that way around here (SE Texas) at most places. I'm also a mustard (and ketchup) guy on a basic burger (or cheeseburger, or bacon cheeseburger, with or without onion rings and jalepeno slices), and will do other things on other kinds of burgers, but have never been a mayo fan, though it is a default at lots of places in the US.

And as for a "cook out" time, I used to throw a big pool/patio party each year on Labor Day Weekend (the "official unofficial end of Summer"). Labor Day in the US is the first Monday of September, so the last weekend can be the last couple days of August, or the first few days of September.

I do actually, though not with but after. After, almost every meal I do eat some fruits. If I eat some salty, spicy food I choose the fruit on the sugary side or if I eat sugary food then I eat sour fruits afterwards. So this is something I'd eat and I am surprised to see somebody got triggered this much. :confused::unsure:

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but I've always had my story make Emma, Daphne, and Erika the original girls while Amanda and Eva are the clones. I was looking at the profiles in character selection, and somehow that's switched. Was there a change that I missed?

Patch then change the status at the main menu. You can find instructions at the OP.

I've always played it patched, and yes, it's set for family. Has been since the menu was updated. Tried switching over and back, still says the wrong girls are clones.

*edit* Now I've done it again for about the 8th time, and it finally worked. They're they're not clones anymore. Could say I wonder why it stuck like that, but it's late, and futzing with this took the away my desire to play, or even care. I'll try again in the morning.

Started over because I don't remember a lot of the story and sometimes MC is a controlling twat. Not all the time, he redeems himself in a lot of ways but... and then oh yeah this moment:

moron doesn't want to wake up to his dick being sucked.jpg

People who complain about being woken up by the person they love giving them a BJ are...

morons.gif

This MC is not terribad but there are a lot of times I just can't relate to this dude.

And the cartoonishly large penis looks fucking dumb.

There's a lot I like about this game but a lot of the cliche's could be taken out since we've seen them in 10 zillion games already.

I see no reason to remove cliches. It a part of the game. Regardless you like it or not. Let the author lead the narrative. It's his story.
I'm in awe of how fast you are as a player. You've know so many games. So many. :ROFLMAO:

If I need sleep, I need sleep. Doesn't matter how good that BJ was if in the morning I'm going to be a zombie drinking ten cups of coffee before important meeting, because someone felt like fooling around in the middle of the night.
Morning BJ is bad idea too, unless girl prefers reciving gold instead of white.

Also, I like cliche, because I'm cliche, but not that much cliche.

But I have to agree on the size of the dick. In 99.69% (I took that number out of my ass though) of the games MC is having Magic Massive Horndog Dick of Love. How can I relate to MC if hes 100 times bigger than me? :'(
Ach so und du bist der deutschen Hochsparche nicht mächtig ? / Oh, and you don't speak standard German?
Ah, german language. To me it always sounds like a execution order. Yet, whenever I hear it I have hard time taking it seriously and, quite often, burst into laugh.

But I'm not working on the Game already.:WeSmart:
It seems you have to not work on the game harder.

Nobody is stopping the author from doing anything. I know it's a part of the game. If it were not, I could not comment on that part of it. Everyone has things they do and don't like about stuff. It's why they have review sections on sites like Amazon and Steam, movie critics on Youtube, etc. It's why we have forums, and a lot of developers ask for opinions on their games.

If you see no reason to remove cliches that's fine. Different strokes for different follks.
