this is the reason half of the english language has words which seem similar to french or germanic languages. because english is LITERALLY the result of those languages (and some others) slowly integrating with one another over millenia. for example the words for "cow" and "beef" are different because the poor workers in the 12th century who looked after the cows called them cows but the rich french aristocrats who had just invaded the country called the meat "boeuf" which eventually got simplified to "beef", whereas most other languages call the meat and the animal of original the same thing or something similar to one another (if im remembering correctly)
If memory serves this is also the origin of doublets in English common law traditions. Will and testament.. breaking and entering..assault and battery..free and clear..part and parcel..the first word in the pair derives from French (the language of the ruling monarchs), and the second from English (the language of common hooligans). Decrees and proclamations and such would include both so that the aristocracy and peasantry alike could comprehend.

as for the answer to this, as a native english speaker living in england i have never heard of this happening though it wouldnt surprise me if somewhere people did call middle school "college". but generally the school system is described as:
"primary school" - ages 5 -> 11
"secondary school" (sometimes "high school") - ages 11 -> 16
and then you go onto EITHER:
"sixth form" (just 2 additional years of high school with different qualifications at the end)
OR:
"college" (same additional 2 years but standalone i.e. no high school on within the same campus/teaching environment etc, and "sixth form" equivalent qualifications at the end

(sixth form and college are equivalent to one another, just different environments. sixth form is more like high school, college is kind of half way between high school and university)

THEN:
"university" where you get undergraduate degrees and above so usually 18+

but there are THOUSANDS of dialects and subtle differences across the country so i wouldnt be surprised at all if the names vary to literally anything across the different parts of the country

Well, it simply is a false friend

Endless additions of new fuckables is kind of how I envisioned the game all along at this stage. The story of the game ended with the Russian mob arc imo. Just make it a parade of new conquests in quarterly DLC packs.

The new phone UI he's come up with looks really nice.

On the same stream, he replied to someone who asked about Debbie's art, saying that she was one of the oldest with 2-frame animation and that this would eventually change, he said "one thing at a time".
Shortly afterwards, he replied to someone who asked what was requested more, Debbie's pregnancy or the Odette/Grace threesome? Without hesitating, he said "Debbie's pregnancy, for sure". The Odette/Grace threesome is asked about once a month, while Debbie's is asked almost every day.

Dude, if people keep asking for Debbie that much, update her art! :HideThePain:
He know that after updating Debbie, number of patreos will drop significantly. He is not stupid. Same with Mrs. Dewiitt which is the best among teachers, as you can see, she is in WIT wtih new update.

Had to check and yeah it's still in there.
View attachment 3896261

The only option I have is "nevermind". I don't have an older save. So idk if it's reserved for when you're trying to win over Eve or you just max it out and can't do it anymore.

Honestly the most unrealistic part of the game. Big titty cow and vampire waifus? ok. Fighting underwater monster to get some mermaid puss? fair. Winning a rap battle against (not) Wiz Khalifa? No fucking chance.
It used to be for Charisma training, right?
So it's probably for when stats are important. Pretty sure you had to have a certain Charisma score in Roxxy's route, but I could be wrong.

Ireland says hello. English is the dominant language there.
Indeed... England dominated Ireland for centuries, they imposed their culture, customs and language. Thats why you talk that language and not the original celtic one.
France have their own native language, so its ok for them.
Anyway the universal language used is the english language, so its always good everybody know how to talk the "Westron/Aduni" of our world and time.

The dude argued that there's no country speaking English in the EU after Brexit. I just told him he's wrong.

Learning it as a foreign language in school, and having it as your country's main language, are two completely different things.
In france they speak french, everything is in french. English is used only for interacting with tourists
Can’t you just skip to new content when starting a game? Even so you can just unblock cookie jar with WiFi if that’s all you want. What’s the point of the save file.

I compared the old and the new version.

The game is definitely much smoother and more organized in the new version. Extra scenes have been added compared to the old version and more should be added.

The animations are a bit better. The background crowd is good to make it feel like a "living world", but I didn't mind it too much. Maybe in the bar and arcade it would attract more attention.

I would like to see some serious additions to old characters rather than new ones every time new content comes out. For example, Erik's mom, Debie, Teachers. Yes, the story is progressing, but the main characters should also progress.
