VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.04.5] [Underground Studio]

[byaaahh]

The MC had 3 choices:

1. Try to work on his marriage which we learn was futile
2. Divorce his wife, keep his job, perhaps have the chance of an amicable separation
3. Cheat on his wife, divorce, lose his job, have his ex-wife hate him

There are people actually arguing that choice 3 was the correct one.

this is adorable, just accept that people disagree with you and move on

There's no need for backhanded flattery. You could ignore the post and move on yourself. Nobody's forcing you to read it.

I'm not asking anyone to agree or disagree with me, when most things I mentioned are explicitly stated in the story. Was just trying to point out the hypocrisy in their 'logic'.

His whole thing boils down to "If he divorced her, he'd lose half his shit".

Actually, no, my whole point boils down to "things ain't always black or white, there's a lot of grey areas in between them", and that's exactly the case in this fictional example.

it's pushing into "his wife is his property" territory. The man could do no wrong, it's his wife's fault, he had to go elsewhere for pussy.

Oh, I see how it is. It's never the woman's fault for doing what she blamed Jake for, minus the cheating part, and having all sorts of other priorities except their marriage, it's always his, the man's fault. Nice. Kamala and Biden are proud of you for saying this.

There are people actually arguing that choice 3 was the correct one.

Think you need to stop living in a fantasy world and come back to Earth, where all sorts of stupid shit happens every day simply bcz ppl don't think or don't give a shit about the consequences of their actions. I kindly recommend you go take a look on a few stats to see how many marriages and long-term relationships fail, who initiates most divorces and breakups between men and women, and what the most convenient excuses used for this are.

It's plain obvious to anyone that option 3 is the stupidest option on the list, Captain Obvious, but I'd argue here that in an already-failing marriage with kids like theirs, anyone who has options to cheat will cheat... anyone without exception.

Stop living in the 50's and come back to 2024-2025, where hookup culture, online or 'traditional' prostitution and all sorts of bullshit are promoted and even glorified. Btw, hope you also know that picking this option means by default we wouldn't be having a story to follow, so don't blame me or any of these ppl you mentioned for the devs' use of porn 'logic', cuz I'm not a cheater and would never cheat on my girl like Jake did to Allison.

...and ofc Jake chose the 3rd one. I told you guys, he is an absolute idiot.

I mean, since it's canon it's safe to say this...

Jake went to this:

The biggest downgrade in the AVN history, if you ask me.

 

[Krytax123]

So, you ppl hate cheaters and cheating in general, even when the ppl you try to defend have a part of the blame in the cheating, defend a spiteful bitch like Allison, who, apparently, is always the victim, but go all nuclear on V for being cheated on and/or potentially used as recreational one-night stand or casual fling at least a few times before ?? Lol, make it make sense, cuz math ain't mathing here at all.

I understand not liking her body proportions and/or her sometimes immature jealous outbursts, clingy, desperate and unreasonably insecure personality cuz of tastes and preferences, but when claiming to hate cheaters soo much, you automatically imply you sympathize with the person who got cheated on and think they deserve all the love and support they can get, and funny enough you then proceed to bash, troll and humiliate a character that's exactly this, an actual victim of cheating and/or at least one abusive relationship. It don't make sense, bois. There's an obvious double standard in this logic of yours.

Yes, about everything else: blablablablabla fuck these lame excuses

If you think your woman treats you badly, break up and move on. Simple as that. Cheating makes the situation worse for everyone included, even for the cheater, just for short term satisfaction.

LOL
Ok, that made me chuckle... a lot)
I hope you're just trolling) If not.. well

If I met those two women - l would choose V over Allison in a heartbeat, it's simply a matter of taste.
Or maybe you think everybody has the same taste as you?)

Ikr. It looks like all the blood in her body go to her breasts instead of her brain.

Of course not...

To each their own.

Same also laughed a lot, it ends up always on personal taste, if I could chose between a curvy latina or a slim blonde bombshell I would always chose the curvy latina (not knowing their personalities ofc). Not that I don't like slim blondes too hehe but I always prefer something to grab on .

haha im a weirdo I never found V physically attractive for me but I have with characters not nearly as hot never understood why and this was on my first playthrough before I changed my mind about Allie and she became my favorite LI in this game and top 3 for AVN's in general

 

[jadepaladin]

Meanwhile my dumbass went all in on Natalya first time I played.

hehe I fucked her my first time to but after the car ride sex I was like okay this hottie is sus as fuck. Tho I did end up picking Allie over Jas for the charity ball as I changed my mind about her by then lol

 

[iIIusory]

theres no way people actually chose the route with Veronica... right???

While I'm not a huge Allison fan becuse of her personality, and Jammin exists, but based purely on physical appearance I'd always choose Alli over V. Give me a fit thin girl any day over a thic one

Hehehe you are not a weirdo. Even though I prefer more latina alike, personality is also a taste and it matters more than the body type for me. my LI rank is Nat-Jas-Maggie-V-Allie and it has nothing with their body type, probably I'm the weirdo because I love the analytical and practical personality of Nat over the slight immature but fun of Jas. V and allie I rank those last because not fond of GF/EXes in AVNs but I always prefer clingy and possessive V over nagging and with too much past Allison even though I like her personality but as a friend.

It seems people don't like Allie bc of her "personality" but they're missing the fact: Jake cheated on her. Anyone in her place would have behaved the same way. Being cheated on is the worst thing that can happen to someone in a marriage. But I'm sure update by update people will keep warming up to her.

My top 3 as of Act I:

1. Jasmine
2. Allison
3. Patricia

There is players for sure like me that play many routes or all, I have playthroughs for all the 5 main girls (or that seem are the main because they have more screen time), my main playthrough is Nat but since she isn't interested in a relationship with the MC (yet) I use that for a "manwhore" route to see the side girls scenes . Then have solo Jas and Maggie. 2 for V 1 faithful and 1 cheating and 2 for Allie that one is love solo route and the other blame/hate route, that last one is the one I care less and usually leave for the last playthrough.

neither of them are entirely blameless though for fucking up their marriage. Yes Jake cheated which is bad, but neither of them actively tried to save the marriage, they just sort of let it fizzle out. It takes two to make it work, and none of them made the effort. It could have been just as easily Allie who cheats down the line.

Yep it was doomed to fail, that is why I don't really believe is a believable reconciliation path but maybe the dev make it believable, who knows. Their core personalities (MC and Allie) simply don't match imho.

 

[Maviarab]

You also have to remember, Veronica is intentionally the way she is, because she is written to make a lot of you feel the way you feel.

Any VN dev that starts the story with you in an established romance....has to give the player an 'out'...so really one could say she could have been written far better and yet still give you an out...

Facts remain, unless you're playing the MC exactly as yourself (and think about that, because the MC is a dumb idiot and not terribly likeable), Veronica is still the second best LI in term of a 'long-term' relationship....perhaps the best if you don't want the baggage that Maggie comes with. All the rest are just a disater waiting to happen (again in one case) if this was anywhere close to being realistic.
