Does anyone have a theory or hypothesis about Sasha's white hair group ?

There are at least 3 people including Ayua (2 people if you don't agree with the 2nd person)
Because she is close to Sasha, will Robin also dye her hair?

My guesses are it's a social clique thing, but Robin hasn't done it, so not a purely social circle thing. Ayua and the 2nd one are both sporty - we see the second one talking with Coach Coates in the cafe. We don't know much about the redhead other than she's Sasha's friend, and she's kept an eye on Nika. They appear when Nika fights Sai.

My theory is they all train together and no one should pick a fight with them.

Edit: hermit_tr by train together, I forgot to mention that I meant at Ayua's martial arts gym - we know Sasha does, and we know the brunette seems to have an interest in sports by talking with one of the first team's coachs, so I suspect the redhead is also part of it. Maybe it islike a team colour for an exhibition?

Considering they just happen to appear when Nika's fighting, it would interesting to see what they'd do to break it up.

...and this is just my guessing.

They have gone prematurely grey waiting on the next update.

White highlights are for those who have impeccable fashion sense. And Emilio said it has to be done.

Yet again you have demonstrated you don't understand how rendering works. Yes of course you can make high quality images without a ton of VRAM. But it's impossible to make a high quality, highly complicated, and highly populated rendering without a ton of VRAM.

Anything is possible, here is a video refuting your words. Look carefully, this is a very interesting video about Vram...

The 3090 is still useful, yes, but it's useless for the rest of the rendering Ocean wants to do. You can do beautiful character rendering with just 2gb of VRAM, but what about rendering scenes featuring 20+ characters.

I found a test where there are a lot of objects and characters, much more than 20. Only there is not 3090 but 4090, although there is no difference, because they both have 24 GB. Unfortunately, you did not watch the previous video, it will explain in detail about the various objects in the frame.

And why this two video is relevant?

In the first video comparing the RTX 3090 vs. RTX A6000 (not RTX 6000 Ada) in Blender, Maya and Cinema 4D. In the second one comparing RTX 4090 vs. RTX 6000 Ada in Lumion render engine? Maybe I am wrong, or blind or totally stupid, but none of those programs are called DAZ.

And still he witters on...and on...aaannnnd oooonnn....and onnnn....aaannnnd onnn...

And still talks absolute bollox.

Christ can them mods not just ban this moron already?

Of course they're not relevant. He knows he'll get eaten alive if he went to the dev section and posted his videos there. He can't post on topic because he can't even tell you what he likes about the game.

Sasha and her clique are aliens and they are trying to return to their original form. Each chapter they become more grey

To understand this, you need to watch the conversation from the very beginning.

We are talking about Vram here, and not about comparing video cards. It doesn’t matter what program you are working in: Blender, Daz, Maya, etc. this does not change the number of Vrams.

Beautiful...
im wondering when mc can truly start romancing sasha like how he is doing it with bella and nami on s1...
i hope at least he can do it from s2... not s3+ (though sasha is more of introvert type so maybe it gonna take a while).
(even though im on bella path there is the dream of throuple right? or secondary path.)
Bella,Nami,Sasha... this VN making it hard to choose.

Well, I think the end of the bookclub scene you can probably start on Sasha's path from there, it's the first time we can make choices with her directly involved. My guess is it will be slow with her, but there might be more interactions once we go to Ayua's gym, and Sasha's mum's country club/golf course/tennis club.

My guess is that season 2 will start opening up all the paths now things are established, but it'll take a while, he's still got to get over Summer, and I think S2 will be partially how he starts confronting that conflict between his past feelings and the growth of new ones. We already saw that happen in the smallest way with both Bella and Nami.

It's hard to choose on purpose - Ocean wants the scenes to be memorable, and not just generic daz models being animated like so many AVNs. Part of that is forcing us to choose who we want to pursue and what part of the story we want to discover. It's impossible to get all the story from one playthrough, so it makes the game far more consequential.

I am sure this game will be about the MC moving on from Summer after meeting all these new folk (pieces of ass) and they'll get his mojojojo going. He'll become a happy little butterfly and then BOOM! Summer returns and the MC will have to figure out what to do with her (if she doesn't return with some new love bird) if she doesn't return, then it'll just be about getting with one or so of the LIs, the end.

I barely remember much from this game. The only things I remember are the parts I had to replay (the more of something you repeat, the more it'll stick in your head, good or bad etc) I skipped every animated scene, that dang intro =.=

I am forced to be around/with someone I couldn't give a rat's ass about. Being forced to be around/with a "li" is not fun, especially when it's a character you hate/couldn't care less about. I guess it's fine if she's a big part of the story.... what if you are interested in everything else but her? options help.

What if I don't want to pursue anyone, can I finish the game solo? or is the MC such a pansy that he needs to finish the game with someone? in BaD, you can fuck around and still finish the game (current season) solo and without being with a LI.

Did he make a story that just involves the MC finishing the story with someone and not solo at all? What if I pick all the bad/wrong choices, will the LI still want the MC? will they still be around? I have a ton of questions but eh.

Yeah, just like every other AVN game that involves branches and no Harem.

I am picturing her with deer horns (the branches behind her head) she's a lovely Doe isn't she?

i completely agree with you with everything.
the bookclub scene when he had to choose where to sit (near nami or sasha) is the true first contact with sasha
Ocean doing great work.. this VN im not playing it for lewd scenes but for the story and the interactions with the characters
i will probably do 3-4 full runs in future when is completed.
I believe its the best VN right now (if not the best in the top 3 for sure)
our children are lucky that they will be able to play all the 6 seasons without any breaks

I hope Ocean doesn't do the boring thing of having Summer return, but I'd deal with it in Season 4 or whenever, that's a problem for future me ...who knows, I might have changed my mind about her by then

As far as the story goes, it'll be about getting with a LI either way, but also how you grow the confidence to stay with them and how you overcome social anxiety, as well as finding out all the things that sent your life on a spiral. My guess is even from Nika's perspective the story is still going to have a heavy Zane saga as we see what goes on in these rich decadent families we interact with. WiaB we'll see from the inside, but here we'll almost see from a bystanders point of view, while he simply wants to get his groove back.

I think season 2 will be were you can start making significant choices; and I imagine most choices to go on dates with anyone other than Bella will make Bella resent you, so I guess there's that for you to look forward to I think Ocean said somewhere that if you sleep around you'll end up closing off a bunch of romance paths, so there will be some sort of solo route where you can be the bad boy. I like that there will be pointed consequences for it, that the LI's will gossip about you behind your back and warn each other if you start becoming a player. I also guess if you choose to do that, you might end up with hookups with people like Melanie, or Kate, people who seem to like the idea of using you to get back at other characters.

Summer will return, but she'll be wearing a hockey mask and wielding a chain saw, screaming "Why didn't bebe wait for meeeeee?!?!?!" and the game will suddenly inherit the "horror" tag.

Obviously, it depends on what "disappeared" means. If it's what I suspect it means then I'd be happy with a brief meeting between the Nika and Summer near the end of the story, where both have moved on and Nika gets closure on his past trauma. In this scenario, Nika has already found new love with [pick your favorite LI].

If I'm wrong, then there's still the possibility Nika has a reunion with Summer in the afterlife, after he fucked around behind Bella's back and found out...
