VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.23.1 S3 Ch.3] [Tropecita Games]

[ThorinKing]

Well to borrow another Lord of the Rings reference. Californians and Texans get along like Elves and Dwarves (and I'm not saying Legolas and Gimli) or maybe like oil and fire. The two states are opposite in political ideology and american media likes to play up the divisions.

We'd trade them Austin for.... Well, I'd have to do a little research on that - the pickin's a pretty slim. Hell, we might just give it to them.

I won't ask who are the Elves and who the Dwarves, as it would be a subjective answer depending on who I ask

What I meant with the Rivendell example is that, opposed to the Texan's perspective of Califordor, surely most Californians don't see their state as bad and perhaps perceive Texas, Idaho, or North Dakota (for example) as the real Mordor. You live in a country with high mobility, so it's not that hard to move to Idaho, Georgia, or Wyoming if you are not that happy with your state. That has consequences, obviously, but remember only 48% of the current adult Californians were born in the state.

Given my avatar, I think of the Dwarves as more noble and true. Feanor, Morgoth, Sauron, even Legolas' dad, were all pretty shady and varying degrees of evil, so Cali can have them. The one with the fairest face is usually the one that will mislead and betray you the fastest (which makes Cali the perfect place for Hollywood. )

As for the population of California, it has been said that U-Haul has nominated Gavin Newsom as "salesman of the year" every year since 2019.

Oh okay! I also join... initially Martha was always the first, but deep down she still remains the first, I just don’t have enough of her completely yet, I think Trop knows what I mean. so here is my list:
1: Erica/Daphne
2: Martha
3: Norah (the lack of her scenes really makes me bored, because Norah is kind of a very hot thing in a top three for me)
4: of course all women!

Austin has always been lost. About every major city in Texas is falling one by one.

There are many billions of reasons Elon isn't entirely insane, but I know he rubs some the wrong way - not giving one side everything they want will have that effect.

As for the Cupcake comment - it's typically pretty crappy wine, but, they are college girls and you have to get what you can afford. At least it wasn't Boone's Farm or Mad Dog!

Thanks for the chart - understand it a bit better now. Will have to look through the profiles next time and see if it appears I missed anything.

Money doesn't make one sane. Gadaffi's richness in his best times surpasses that of Elon.
I'm not an anti-billionaire guy, but I consider much more sane Warren Buffet or Bill Gates than Elon.

If you don't want Austin, you can return it to us (with all the companies there, obviously). And also the rest of the state. You will get universal healthcare and a good power grid.

Why do I feel like I walked into a particular thread that recently had an off-topic forum started instead of the expected My Dorm thread ...

Because the gray matter between the ears of most of us here is more or less like a bag of cats...

That would be Amarillo. I got stranded there durin winter back in '87.

That might sound good if we wanted extreme taxes, socialism and rolling blackouts every late spring through summer. But, nah!

And it isn't the companies, it's the politicians and the group of folks that think "Keep Austin Weird" is a mission from, well, not God, but from something supernatural.

I'm a dog guy, so that doesn't apply here.

And I'm really thinking that the Dorm needs a dog or two. A loyal and fierce pair of German Shepherds or similar to serve as guard dogs and pets - maybe they have a couple at the base that can move in with Amanda and Eva. No Chihuahuas, though: they're the cats of the dog world, but less smart. Also, no beagles - they're good dogs, but bark and chew things too much, and it might offend Kim.

I love Kim and am looking forward to her development and her scenes, so I'd never seek to offend her.

So some cuddly, "foothorn" Yorkshire terriers ? that would be great, with a pink ribbon on their heads....

To be fair, several of the Europeans here (and likely at least a couple of the Yanks) are probably at least quasi-socialistic... I get that sort of thing doesn't really fly in Texas... well, at least not outside of Austin...

Oh, and I'd be cool with a Great Pyrenees or two... or a Malamute... or a Newfoundland/German Shepherd mix (had the latter growing up and he was a great dog).

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

Dark is a monogamist. He always seems to pick a single LI in any game.

There are a few that I manwhore in and I did start a manwhore save in this one. But yeah. You're correct.

Now we are talking about guard dogs... exception made for the Mute, they aren't territorial. But a nice big Rottweiler or a pair of Doberman would work just fine (just don't cut their ears or tails, that's barbaric).

No Idea why you guys don't like this noble dogs...

That's not a dog. It's a floof.

When I worked at a pet store in HS, we'd attach those to a stick and use them to dust the floors at close.

My great aunt Celina got one, and my other Aunt got an Chihuahua, once My father invited them and told them "No problem, bring your dogs we got a garden"
Bad luck that both dogs couldn't stand each other and startet a full scale "minuature dog fight" that was a hell of christmas eve, then the two old ladys get protective about them and startet a verbal fight , they almost ended beating each other we had to separate them Ahh childhood memories, no TV show can bring such funny stuff

 

[SpatulaPie]

I'll go with my rank:
#1 Martha
#2 Amanda (right now)
#3 SairaEmmaErikaNorahDaphneScarlettEileenSamanthaSimoneAlexiaEvaMaddieMeganKimKateDebbieLisaOliviaBettyKiara

#3 is in order of appearance ¿Surprised by Eva's position?

Eva would look great in that position in certain scenes. ;P

I honestly almost added a Rotty to my list; and, even though Mutes aren't territorial, they tend to be very emotionally bonded to the person they work for.

I know that they are, and that they can fight, that, however, isn't what a guard dog does. The point of a guard dog is to not let them in, not defend you after, that's the job for a Pit, or a more agile dog, trained to fight. Guards HAVE to be very territorial, they also serve has an early warning. Something like a Fila, would be also quite good (these ones I know you know about ).

Bakersfield, you'd want Bakersfield. It's oil-rich for one, for another it's famous for "The Bakersfield Sound' - Merle Haggard, Jean Shephard, and of course Buck Owens all hailed from Bakersfield. Politically it's Republican Red.
It's a fair trade, California gets Stevie Ray Vaughan.
