Typical:
Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.
A girl from Russia was looking for a high salary for little-to-no work.
I wonder why it didn't work :LOL:

My view of Ocean is different than yours...

Ocean tells us what is going on - the good And the bad, and then explains it (in a dev log every two weeks).

My takeaways from this excerpt of the dev log:

* The gf did not want to do the work to earn the money - no mention that Ocean was looking for an excellent specialist for little-to-no money.

If you have a screenshot showing what Ocean was offering her for pay - feel free to post it for the rest of us; I'd certainly like to know.

* As far as an excellent specialist, Ocean was told that she had a background in game design, and he bought her a course in Blender to get her going.

She simply lacked the drive to do the work to build the skills.

Per this same dev log - Ocean lost little due to her unwillingness to learn Blender and apply herself.

Is it disappointing - OC - but that is RL for you, people don't always own their commitments, and someone is typically left holding the bag.

Cheers!! :coffee:

That's completely false. Depression isn't the same for everyone. Everyone has their own way of coping with it and going through with it. Speaking from experience here, when i was in my darkest place i still hung out with my friends and i still spoke to my family like everything was normal. Because i was afraid if they found out something was broken inside me, they'd treat me with pity. There's nothing worse than seeing your friends pretend to understand how you feel and act completely different when you're not around them. Trust me dude, i lost 2 classmates and both of them were the most cheerful mfs on the outside..

That's not necessarily how someone suffering from depression is. Many suffering from depression seem completely normal and highly functional to the outside world.

As Cabin and Harry said, also, no, I am not confused.

You just seem to want to start some drama because you're bored, please, find someone else to bug if that's all you want to do.

I should have said this in my reply to you "He has multiple issues. Depression is one of them. I should know, I too have depression"

Sorry if you expect everyone with depression to act a certain way. People can have some of the same issues and act completely different.

Ask Maja whether the guy she saw for the first time in the hospital looked like a depressed person or not. In fact, Nika said during his first day of college in a conversation with either Nojiko or Nami that he felt an inner drive to overcome any upcoming obstacles. This is the beginning of the struggle of a man who has been immersed in depression and isolation for years to break out of it. Before all the examples of a depressed man you mentioned, this is what Nika life was like.
And yet, how you approach it is up to you - you don't have to meet Jeff at the gym, you don't have to promise Maja that you'll take care of Victoria. You don't have to go on a date with Mila or Victoria, you don't have to get closer to Bella, you don't have to start sharing your feelings with Nami. You could blow your chance with Sasha by not letting Robin off the hook. You can still roleplay as a person who still has no real intention of healing. Have you seen the Cinematic for Chapter 5 when you are not in Bella's path? Summer's things scattered around the room Nika sits, looks out the window and smokes a cigarette, the atmosphere of total isolation and depression continues

Since there was never any mention of previous counseling or any type of psychological evaluation we are led to conclude that the MC went on WebMD and self-diagnosed his depression :LOL:

So this quarrel regarding if he's depressed or not seems to rely solely on opinion. I'm not a doctor so all I can offer is my own opinion. And that is that the MC is kinda all over the place. I'm guessing he has multiple issues like depression, anxiety and PTSD like you said. Because as far as I know his symptoms don't seem compatible with just one issue.

I'll write to everyone right away. The topic of Nika’s depression is quite old, there were a lot of disputes, but they ended until a working psychologist intervened in this dispute. This psychologist said that the character is not depressed. When you come to a psychologist, he asks the reasons for your coming, but in the game what is the reason? He was told that the reason for his depression was the disappearance of his beloved girlfriend Summer. In response, the doctor said that if MC had depression, it had long since passed. You can see for yourself how he paws Nami and Victoria’s breasts, reaches into Mila’s panties, etc. This doesn't sound like depression; if he still loved Summer, he wouldn't touch other girls. There were a lot of analysis of scenes and their meaning, I don’t remember everything. As a result, he said that if such a person had come to see him, he would have diagnosed him with PTSD. This is indicated by 4 points:
1. A strong traumatic situation occurred in a forest house.
2. Recurring dreams.
3. Memory loss.
4.Reaction to stimulus (eraser in Vicky’s hand).

I don’t understand medicine, so the words of a doctor are more valuable to me than the words of people who like to argue about everything for no reason. I didn't mean to offend anyone, good luck to everyone.

the way I read it, she didn't want to train an unknown amount of time for the possibility of getting a job she might not be interested in. which is honestly understandable

:ROFLMAO:
What the nonsense dude!
Russia: Nikita (Никита), Nikolay (Николай).
There is no such name as Nika especially unisex! Nika can be used as a shortening of the female Veronika.
Even Niko from GTA was Nik"O" and not Nik"A"!

You are absolutely right. By the way, there are a lot of Russian names in SG. (Sasha, Sonya, Zara, Mila, Nadya)

Katie "Landlady" now :D :(

It probably doesn't happen BUT:
- it's open season for every person in Bella's circle (including her mother) except the only Zane in the school
- Katie seems more interested in meeting Nika and Nami than anything else in the Book Club (and she's the only one other than Noji who isn't thirsty)

After all we don't know what the canonical wiab finale is. maybe there's no Katie and William together so Katie can do some things with Nika.
