Truly. But it's worse than that. It's not that you don't feel like a horny mf, you just can't sound like anything other than a soy ejaculator.
And the chore is so loooooooooong and tedious that not getting the chitchat bonuses makes it even loooooooooonger, which makes you want to pick whatever hoes wanna hear; which while realistic, kills every little chance to roleplay, however small the roleplaying margin is.
Annnd, that's why I cheat in single player video games. I've actually done the math for how long it took to get stats up in that thread and an actual reply I got was something along the lines of "I can see you did the math right in front of me, I don't but believe in it."
But yeah, I think the game isn't what people expected. Coming from this game, you'd expect this to be another sandbox game. But it's not. They're trying to, essentially, write their own interactive fanfic. Which, to be fair, is like, most of the ren'py games based off/parody of an existing IP. But unlike RLE, they really have a specific story they want to tell.
All this isn't to say that it's a good or bad game. It's just different. And it won't be everyone's cup of tea. Some people want to be in the X-men world (with sex) and some want to read a story about it (with sex). And with my limited interaction with their staff, they really want to make the story they want to make.
