VN Ren'Py Summer's Gone [S1 Steam + DLC] [Oceanlab]

[X2JZcf]

Her first concern should be talking to a lawyer instead of a shrink to keep her out of jail

Did you forget about the MAFIA???

The only thing we don't know is if these things are going on outside of Nika's POV. These things could be happening. Dr Stuart Marla (from WiaB) might be her legal advisor. What is further weird is the way she's portrayed as looking for some kind of stallion at this time.

Man, you too????

Man, you too????

Awww shit Marla is MAFIA too!?!?! Poor Vic. The MC joked about it at the beggining but the Mafia may really come back to finish the job

1. Yep.
2. Google whether it helps with brain function in non-depressed people. It's not a stimulant, it's an anti depressant. It can shrink the memory function of the brain.
3. Someone else has already pointed this out, so I won't waste more time.
4. Someone else has already pointed this out, so I won't waste more time.
5. Zara's sister tells you, Bella tells you that Zara's mom did bad things. That's what Ocean's saying. Zara's mom traumatised her into creating false memories of Nick molesting her. Calling someone useless at ayoung age is not great behaviour. Zara's competitive streak is not healthy. There's a scene playing tennis where she loses it and starts crying.


6.You ignored the rest of what I wrote, that Bella says she's broken. Doesn't get clearer than that. And that her mom hasn't been able to help her in the text messages.

Now here's why it matters. Very first screen of the game.

Don't take my word for it that there's a huge element of psychological healing taking place or that it's not an important theme. Just read the first screen of the game.

2. Of course it helps, since people use it risking their health. There are many side effects, especially if you take too much or for too long, after all, this medicine is not just given out with a doctor's permission.
5. I do not deny the fact that Zara's mother is a bad person, it's just that the initial discussion was about something else.
6. So what does Bella's mental state have to do with it? Her sister is sick, it exhausts her. If you had a loved one who was sick, you would feel the same way as Bella, especially if an idiot like MC started making fun of this sick person.

Are you seriously relying on the picture that Ocean inserted before the game? What Ocean says and what he does are completely different things. You shouldn't pay attention to what Ocean says at all.


In general, this topic needs to be closed, it has already become boring.

 

[SToyS]

Regarding this discussion, and Marla specifically, I just want to say that it is weird how the emphasis is put on therapy considering she should have other priorities right now. We can't forget she ran over and severely injured someone. The legal and financial implications of this should, in my point of view, take precedent.

Her first concern should be talking to a lawyer instead of a shrink to keep her out of jail. She may have some serious charges coming her way like reckless driving or vehicular assault.

Second should be a financial advisor because you know she will be liable for Vic's injuries and rehabilitation.

Maybe the third could be a shrink. But this is the reason why I take issue with her character. She is portrayed as a victim in need of psychological counseling. We see her crying. We hear her say she has issues. All of this seems designed to paint her as a victim and make us forget she is anything but one. I'm not saying she's a bad person BUT she is, in fact, the assailant in this context.

Very well said. After all these reworks, there were huge holes in the plot that made the game look ridiculous.

 

[Ahx]

My Nika will be a Zane in the end, i dont mind to marry ayua!

Ayua : I do mind asshole!

Yes, LIs= Love interests and Marla is a confirmed LI, you can fuck the old hag

Bella : Bwahahaha! Marla? Our old hag?! You serious?

Nika : She's not-

NAMI : She's young.

Nika : Thank you.

NAMI: who have been alive for a very, very long time.

Bella : Bwahahaha!

Nika : ...

HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE NEED TO WAIT FFS???
Season 10 is gonna drop when i am 100 years old. Money milking machine this guy.

Ocean is including a pokemon-themed MMO in his next release. It's one of the games they play at Nadia's barn. He is starting an entire game server up from scratch and he's having difficulty getting all the right parts from his vendor in Germany. They sent the wrong cable and he's trying to negotiate a better price from the quoted 20k euro per month and ...

and he's having to deal with Nintendo from the future building a time machine and venturing to the past to copyright the mechanics because if nothing happens, Ocean's MMO will take over the world, put them out of business, and lead us into a dystopia.

If memory serves, Nika isn't just a witness to Marla hitting Victoria with her car; he's the kid who, when the responsible adult - the teacher accustomed to a position of authority and control - panicked and froze, took immediate meaningful action, quite possibly saving Victoria's life, and called Marla out on her failure to take appropriate action. He's the direct representation of her failures, not in causing the accident, but in her reaction to the accident - her failure to be the competent adult authority she thought she would be in a crisis.

Also, while she has had opportunity to come to terms with Victoria and what happened to her in the time since, Nika disappeared immediately after stabilising the situation, and has now reappeared unexpectedly in a different context - so it's not surprising if she reacts more strongly to him.

It's simpler, before he took the gun away from her and shot at her, blanks, and now it's just a plot hole.

It can always be added that Marla suffered a mental breakdown before the accident (which is why she was inattentive/rushed), and the situation with Victoria only worsened it.

Sertraline can show noticeable improvements after a week and it can take from four to eight weeks for the full benefits to start to show. Not an over night jobby to be sure.

What's the over/under on Ocean quietly retconning in Xanax (benzodiazepines) to replace Sertraline?

When the MC gets over himself and his demons he'll get his first ever erection and then the game will turn into leisure suit larry.

What milking machine are you talking about? German taxes will probably leave Ocean broke before he even thinks about buying another workstation or making another remake.

As for the date, I'd say December if everything goes well. February 2026 if everything goes wrong.

I mean it's Ocean. Of course everything will go wrong.

Hey, hey! Don't give Ocean new ideas for rework. You should be fighting evil, not helping it.

Do you really think a guy who could turn spaghetti into guns after just one visit to the gym can't metabolize drugs faster?

I saw the Steam page for Season 2 says it’ll have pornographic sexual acts, while Season 1 only had nudity. Obviously it’s not released yet, but do you guys think that’s actually what Oceanlab is planning to add?

Yes, Season 2 will have sexual content.

 

[Massagecook01]

Yes, Season 2 will have sexual content.

yeah and i got land in egypt i want to sell you.

 

[BigMal235]

yeah and i got land in egypt i want to sell you.

Ocean said it himself and we have no reason not to believe him since WiAB has lots of it

 

[Orgitas]

MC will get his willy working again once he gets over himself and he'll have all that repression to work out sexually. Nami's dreams will be answered.
