Thanks for your response.
1) Talked to Master Old Perv. No instructions for what I'm supposed to do for boxing bag.
2) Tried that when I got the drill, nothing happened. On a second try, I was able to make the flute. Maybe a time of day event?
3) Tried that immediately, I'm getting a hint about hitting it harder.
The walkthrough is organized by which girl's arc you are working on, so particular general events like these are difficult to find.
3) Solved it. The hint means that you have to build up Strength at the gym. (Which is what I was suspecting- the problem that I had was that I didn't know that MC needs to visit Kevin at the Cafeteria again after Eric agrees to fill in.) I don't know how much you actually need- I was able to do it when I tried again at a 6 Strength.
I am still stumped at the boxing bag. Arrows appear at the start of the mini-game, but it's a timed event that runs TOO quickly to be able to figure it out. And you can only run it once a day, so there's no learning curve, unlike the pizza game which just kept repeating until I figured it out.
Also, I'm unable to figure out the Josephine phone quest- I suspect that I need to set a fire in the restroom or something equally stupid.
But you know what? I don't care anymore. There's just too much negativity in this one for me to really enjoy it. I got tired of getting insulted, beaten up, robbed, over and over and over and over again. And the crap is required to advance the game. And for What? Debbie/Mom parades around in a loose house gown showing off her tits (And NICE tits, they are too. Pity they aren't brains.*), there's "Something Going On With Aunt Diane" (figured THAT one out the first day) and co-ed showers (whoopie!)- that seem to be a one-time event. Oh, and I get the Privilege of getting seeing my sister's tits for more than most hookers ask for for the ENTIRE night. (Someone needs to tell Princess Bitch that Blackmail is a real good way of committing suicide. BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER TRUST A BLACKMAILER!!) (Shouting intentional.) Of course the Stupid MC can't realize that she's even MORE vulnerable to Mom's disapproval than HE is with her firing, webcam activities, etc. so her blackmail threats are quite worthless- she has more to lose than he does. (But then, that's what blackmailers rely on- their victims' stupidity.)
The downright racist rap game was the last straw. Of course there's no chance to figure it out before the timer starts. I figured out the pattern very quickly; the problem is knowing which blank square is which BEFORE the timer starts. So you have to put up with the opening shit over and over and over and over and over again. And it's required to advance the game. Why? Because the dev thinks it's "Kewl" and "Trendy"? Fine, but too much shit for me to tolerate.
I want to stress that I really, REALLY like the art style and the girls' designs are good- even if it's of the "Kid with a Horse cock" school of Hentai. If the dev had just concentrated on the main backstory of the Mob/Yakuza/Whatever (and advanced it at all, instead of MC getting robbed once a week or Whatever), relegated the school problems to background and made some of the bg characters at least somewhat likable and gave more info on how to play the mini-games, it would be in my top 20. (Hint for devs: the games need to LESS complicated than Real Life.)
In spite of my complaints, in general it's a fun game and I really have enjoyed playing it. But the negatives are just are too much for such a small return. Masochistic I'm NOT.
I'm gone.
