The videos seem to use a lot of CPU on decode/playback. Free up more CPU by closing your browser in particular plus anything else that's eating up cycles. Of course if your CPU is shitty enough, like mine, that won't be enough.

You can try a custom built ffmpeg MMX enabled Ren'Py lib/ for either Linux or Windows. Caveat is I built it without any of the SDKs. It did have a seg fault with Jessica's poke video (worked 2nd time), but it seemed fine otherwise. I did not replay the entire game with it. YYMV.

Linux users may need to rename Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-linux-x86_64/renpy to Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-linux-x86_64/Ripples.
Windows users do nothing :WaitWhat: or possibly rename & move Ripples-0.4.5-pc/lib/py3-windows-x86_64/renpy.exe to Ripples-0.4.5-pc/Ripples.exe.
Custom lib - MMX enabled, but no SDKs [Linux/Win]

Would it be possible to do the same thing for the new version of renpy. I have been using this for other games. But some games are using the new version and this doesn't work anymore.

If it's 8.1.x then yes as I already did a build for myself. PM me some of the games and I'll find a thread to post it to.

I'm curious. On everyone's first playthrough, what drove your decisions? Banging girls, or avoiding timeline fuckery?

I'm intentionally attempting to fuck with the timeline. I need to know if we're dealing with a singular reality that can be rewritten by my fuckery (but resists), or if there's a multiversal thing going on where I might be able to make significant changes.

e.g. Is the MC Skylar's father because he banged Luna senseless? What about Scarlet's daughter(s)? Do you wind up taking one or more of your current friends through the portal back in time as well, so that you end up meeting an older version of them that helps you out for some reason.

Much fuckery to be had, both with time and with the women.

I'm starting to suspect that we're everyone's daddy. in a big incestuous clusterfuck. Probably not ourselves though. Maybe.
Not got to bang Luna yet, but if we are her father, then it would explain why she so opposed to us being near her daughter, since she probably knows that Skylar is super into them. That would also make her the only person to see someone about to commit incest, and outright go "ew, no", which is honestly quite refreshing.

I guess Luna isn't a Crusader Kings fan. Also, if this is true, this ruins her chances to win the contest for best girl.

Then MC has to tell 'I am your father' many times.:devilish::sneaky: Looking forward to seeing a massive incest fuckfest.:LOL:

I'm not interested enough in "land-people" to check, but I do sometimes wonder how this will/would play out in the unpatched version.

My first playthrough was focused on exploring the world and trying to find out what happened to my Dad and Aunt Jenny - trying to save them if possible. I'm certainly enjoying banging the beauties around me while on this journey.

Now that I have a Ton of $, I'm considering making an anonymous donation to the local HS and college with the caveat that everyone in the schools take a '23 and me' test with ancestry results going to my new high-end computer so I can see just how many offspring I have ... ;)

I'm all about the timeline fuckery. Given the chance to go back and change something (in a fictional universe where the worst possible consequences can be undone by reloading a save – of which I have many – and playing again) I'm doing it.

The only choice I've had to make for the girls is which ones I want. So far I haven't met one I'd reject (not even Riley). Yes, I had to make a Skylar/Jessica choice, but I am confident that what I chose will lead to both.

--------------------

On the resurfacing daddy theories: No one but me has done the date/age calculations? If you care, my reasoning is somewhere in this thread. Short version: highly improbable to impossible, depending on which girl, and for how long the story continues (in game time) and when in the timeline he goes back again.

I think you may have misunderstood. Doing the age calculations clearly shows the impossibility of the MC fathering any of the girls his age (they'd have to be older than the canon ages) and there are other reasons to exclude the older girls.

Future story content may change this (extending the timeline, changing the rules of time travel), but as it currently stands the theory is untenable. Mental gymnastics may convince some of Skylar, but it requires unlikely circumstances that are a little too contrived for me to think Jestur would go that way.

Naw. I understood what you meant. My point was that besides the math, if the mc was someone’s daddy, it would mean they were not an LI — because of Patreon’s rules.

And a game full of nubile hot daughters out of reach would cause a collective apoplexy among the players. :BootyTime:

Or ... and hear me out ... maybe those rules aren't as locked-in-stone as everyone thinks. There are a couple of games on there that seem to be more-than-flirting with the issue. Not gonna name names, but I find it interesting.

Of course, games like that could be flirting with disaster and are just taking the risk anyway, who knows ...

So I misunderstood then :).

That could be covered by the patch, but it's also a valid reason. The canon story is of course, without a doubt, that no one in this story is related. Nope.

It's probable they're taking a chance and have not yet been noticed. Or, depends how exactly they're flirting with it. There may be a way to all but say the I word (and related ones) but make it clear through subtle (or not so subtle) hints and this gets around the rule.
