Sorry; I keep forgetting that it's the personalized name I used. The half-sister.

These games play with tropes. Therefore we're at the whim of the tropes. It's just like people in scary movies who always makes the dumbest decision possible. When in reality rational thinking people most likely would never make the same decision.

OK but there is no stepsister
Did you mean the Half-sister commonly (in this thread) called Sister? In the walk through to be Patreon safe they call her "Friend"

Lol, you're just being picky there, different parts of the world use different conventions.
I'm in the UK, I have a step-sister (same mum) but no half-sister

Yeah, I was going to say...the "half" implies that half of the parents are blood-related to you and the sister.
I had a step-dad once and he certainly has no blood relation to me.
Not the same thing. A "half-sibling" has the same biological mom or dad as the person they are a half-sibling with, but the other parent is different.

You understand you're conflating the terms right?
I my mom marries a man with a daughter from a different man, and they adopt each other's children, they are parents to both me and my stepsister, but there is no blood relationship between me and my male parent.
If on the other hand a man has female child with a woman and then has me with a different woman and then, whether he marries the first woman or not, her daughter is my half sister and I am her half brother, we share a common bloodline through our father. In the eye of the law, assuming that they marry and our parents do the necessary adoptions, she and I are legally step siblings as well as half siblings.
Half siblings is about blood, whether or not we legally share parents.
Whatever the legalities in a given county, relations between a man and woman who share to close a bloodline is incest. So half vs step makes a difference.

And also specific to SuLo
Gerald NEVER married Ashley
So step-siblings never happened. Even if they weren't blood.
The Patreon story is Gerald wasn't the father and the never married was important because Patreon will treat steps like incest. This is why the VN features no Step relation in any version.

There are places where if you live with someone for one year they can claim a common law marriage. I don't remember if they tell you how long they where together but seems like a good guess it was longer then a year.
It was my intention in that post to clarify half vs step siblings. In this game, assuming you pick up the patch, they share a common father, step or no step, that's incest, and that's why there's a patch...
We know that it was much longer than a year given the description of their history. However there are many places that do not recognize common law marriage, and even in those that do a prospective spouse has to file claiming common law status, as far as we know neither of them did so.

I didn't put logic into this game the logic is already there, I didn't make the Mc and his Step-sister brother and sister Mr.dot did. Yes it is a game and a porn game at that but the logic works just fine so have a nice day and drink a beer

It's not exactly being picky, it's just the definition of the word is and this pretty much everywhere this is the understood meaning of those words. Step-(family link) has a specific meaning and half-(family link) has a specific meaning.

Can't believe I just wasted an hour on this and I can't believe the devs decided to waste time doing this.
They added a layer of "DRM" so that people couldn't as easily create a gallery unlocker.
The rabbit hole goes that the scene player, if a scene is available, creates an imagebutton with an action Replay(label), which is a class. Replay has a single function, getSensitive, which calls the renpy function "seen_label(label)", which returns true or false is renpy/persistent has seen the specified label, this variable is never set anywhere as far as I know, unless it's in the jump function that also adds label to a seen array, haven't checked.
Imagebutton, when it is created, now calls getSensitive from the action class, which returns false if you've never seen the label, so even though you've unlocked something on the replay, it's still locked until you've actually seen it, except, obviously, if you edit the getSensitive function in 00action_other.rpy so that it always returns true, in which case, the gallery unlocks as it should and that's about it.
I just find it kinda funny that they went through all this trouble to stop people from unlocking the gallery through console.
