Hells nah, NSFW Solitaire ftw. Its default set, of course.Second that. He's also using the best card set. #TropicalSolitaireHitsDifferent
Tried to fix that for you, no need to thank me, I'm just that kind and helpful.I really love that the light of this somewhat dark game is a MILF. Lol.
Rose is truly the most wholesome LI. She has joined the competition at that place to best provide for her daughter. So at she isn't working at the club for personal gain. Working in this kind of place and still being able to maintain empathy and good alignment is commendable. I'm speaking from experience, being constantly exposed to similar environments tends to make most people cynical at best and narcissistic at worst.
Then Rosie becomes very present in MC's life and becomes a close friend so they can both share their burdens and be there for each other. Introspectively, you can also count on Ian, but his lifestyle has made him very cynical and, IMO, he is not as good an influence as Hannah can be. There's also someone, but really, fucking whatever.
Rosalind is the person you give your heart to.And you don't shape her and her worldviews, what kind of fucked up manipulative shit is that?
I applaud the writing of this game and I wish the devs the best and hope they can accomplish what they set out to do in this game. Cheers.
Sadly, that "fix" doesn't really work when Rose is a con-woman and seeks to take advantage of MC's nature so he bats for her, on top of it. That's hardly "truly the most wholesome LI".Tried to fix that for you, no need to thank me, I'm just that kind and helpful.![]()
Bruh, who hurt you? Not even I am that cynical and paranoid.Rose is a con-woman and seeks to take advantage of MC
What do you mean? Rose has admitted to Edwin herself she'd been scamming old folks out of their money, together with her husband. And she is taking advantage of MC's nature (either as a good guy willing to help her for free, or a chump who can be convinced with some sex) to effectively try to rig the competition. There're three participants in this contest, but she's the only one who approached Edwin in this manner.Bruh, who hurt you? Not even I am that cynical and paranoid.

Oh. Good, I thought you were cynical and paranoid, you are just horribly wrong.What do you mean?

It's not paranoia when it's cold hard facts.![]()
Granted, I did not fully appreciate that she's the only carnation who did this, as "rigging the competition" is the core mechanic of this game. But 1) she is not taking advantage of MC-kun, she simply offered him a trade and 2) it just goes to show to what lengths she's willing to go for her daughter. A recurring theme in this game btw.And she is taking advantage of MC's nature (either as a good guy willing to help her for free, or a chump who can be convinced with some sex) to effectively try to rig the competition.
Way to weaponise a remorseful, intimate confession against somebody. Are you a woman?she'd been scamming old folks out of their money, together with her husband
I love the logic of nsfw solitaire, "This simple card game is fun and all hmm... But it lacks boobs and ass" lol.Hells nah, NSFW Solitaire ftw. Its default set, of course.
I know, sorry, that was a joke.I don’t mean this in a toxic, manipulative way, although a manipulative MC is a valid playstyle.
A good, present, and caring partner will influence many of your thoughts and steer you away from bad ideas. This is common sense. Not all relationships work this way, but most do.
I have touched on most of this above, but I have to ask, do you really believe her to be some machiavellian manipulator? Her, a woman who has never had a voice all throughout her life, between her childhood in a religious family and her terrible choice of a shitbag husband? The relationship starts as a very straightforward transaction, nothing manipulative about it. And if you so choose to make it more intimate, do you really believe it's all just cold calculation from her? Not only does that seem highly doubtful to me, there's also the technical side of things where she is a love interest in a video game.To say that MC and Rose have a wholesome relationship is definitely a choice.
I consider Rose to be a good woman. All things considered, she cares about her daughter's well-being the most and that's what drive her. However, she is not absolved of her sins. She is an older woman, manipulative towards MC, and has a history of being this way before carnation. Even if we take away the fact that their relationship is tied to sexual favors, the relationship becomes quite convoluted because of MC's own Oedipus complex.
Funnily enough, this is what I find to be the single weakest aspect of the writing and the game overall. This oversimplified take on Oedipus complex that basically goes "oh look, a hot, young, big-breasted mother who spreads her legs, just like my mom, I need to fuck her because Freud told me I gotta want to fuck my mom." Like, that's not even remotely what Freud was talking about, not even in the most oversimplified manner.This, in my opinion, is what makes the writing in this game so good.
I'm a simple man. I like solitaire and I like naked women. Just like I like my puzzles and other such games with an extra serving of tits and holes.I love the logic of nsfw solitaire, "This simple card game is fun and all hmm... But it lacks boobs and ass" lol.
Why do you think Rose didn't "simply offer" this exact same trade to Ian, when he has as much influence on the result of the competition? Because she has correctly identified MC as potentially susceptible mark who could be swayed either by a sob story or some sex.1) she is not taking advantage of MC-kun, she simply offered him a trade
Don't forget, this is in context of discussing whether Rose is "the most wholesome RO". It doesn't matter if Rose is doing shit "because she's just so weak willed, the poor thing". Lacking moral backbone, especially when it leads to ruining lives of other people, because this is easier than taking a stand against your shit of a husband, it simply means as far as wholesomeness goes Rose's is dubious at best.Way to weaponise a remorseful, intimate confession against somebody. Are you a woman?
My snide quips aside, I'm afraid you misunderstood this bit about her life, or rather didn't connect it with with the rest of what we know. The core of her identity is a combination of determination to be the wife and the mother, while also being weak-willed, unable to stand up for herself. She's the one who ends up being taken advantage of, not the other way around. It's not just the shady shit her husband pulled her into, be it his scam business and his other ventures or the debt he straddled her with. He got her to drop out of college. It's even the small things, like him pretending he cannot even cook an egg throughout their marriage.
Rosalind doesn't have the defining characteristic of being manipulative, no. Lol. As you pointed out, she has a frail personality, which is evident in her passivity regarding her abusive relationship with her husband and her life choices in general.I have touched on most of this above, but I have to ask, do you really believe her to be some machiavellian manipulator?

I can't answer for other people in this thread. But when I said "older woman", I meant that she is a middle-aged woman with more significant life experience compared to a young freshman who is just starting his adult life. Even if the MC is wise beyond his years, he can only have so much experience.I do take issue with people calling her an "older woman", which is a phrase for women like 50+, while Rose is in her early 30s
I think this is where we can agree to disagree. I don't see this as a simplified way of portraying MC's complex and how this affect his relationship with Rose.Funnily enough, this is what I find to be the single weakest aspect of the writing and the game overall. This oversimplified take on Oedipus complex that basically goes "oh look, a hot, young, big-breasted mother who spreads her legs, just like my mom, I need to fuck her because Freud told me I gotta want to fuck my mom."

Edwin notes multiple times in the game that Rose is knowingly and purposefully telling him the things he wants to hear, in order to keep their "cooperation" going. One could in fact go as far as to point to her presenting herself as "nothing but a dumb, naive, meek and weak housewife" as part of this very manipulation, and something a number of people both in game and here is apparently falling for.Rosalind doesn't have the defining characteristic of being manipulative, no. Lol. As you pointed out, she has a frail personality, which is evident in her passivity regarding her abusive relationship with her husband and her life choices in general.
No, the context was me jokingly using somebody else's post to talk up my favourite LI, which you for some reason decided to use as an invitation to depict her as a horrible and manipulative person. Which I guess I should have been smarter than to entertain any follow-up.Don't forget, this is in context of discussing whether Rose is "the most wholesome RO".
A couple of months, as far as Rose said, before her husband got into different shady shit. We don't actually know what shady shit. She could have been a completely honest drug dealer!You don't scam people for years
I think partially.I think this is where we can agree to disagree.
Edwin, (MC), recognizes this and can't help but admire Rose, as he sees a clear resemblance to his own mother. What makes this even more complex is that watching his mother's videos was a moment of sexual awakening for him, a morbidly curious teenager. So yeah, shit is fucked. I wouldn't say it's an cheap element of this story by any means. But I respect your opinions.
You think i was depicting her as a horrible person? That's a mistake on your part then, i was only pointing out that she's at best morally grey character. I.e. someone not really suited for the label of "the most wholesome RO", that you've decided Rose has deserved as part of your "humorous fix", and which i've brought up specifically because i was addressing that part.No, the context was me jokingly using somebody else's post to talk up my favourite LI, which you for some reason decided to use as an invitation to depict her as a horrible and manipulative person.

Don't be disingenuous. You described her as a con woman taking advantage of Edwin.You think i was depicting her as a horrible person? That's a mistake on your part then
Master of PS! Ha ha!I have no idea what you are talking about, he's clearly playing Balatro, look closer.

Just curious, why don't you use her in-game name Hana?Damn, all I was doing was spreading the word about our goth maiden, Saint Hannah, and I accidentally caused a one page war on this thread. I will ask for guidance and pray for all of your souls. May Hannah bless your deviant and quarrelsome hearts.
The last time I played this game was about 6 months ago. So, my faulty brain took over and replaced her name with what I thought was her real name, lol. It doesn't help that Hannah is a much more common western name. Thanks for correcting me.Just curious, why don't you use her in-game name Hana?
