Action or "action"? Because Riley's new tactical cuddling event did have "action".
But yeah, mostly fun and set ups with a few new information to start speculations, since i don't think many of us guessed the reveals of this interrogation.
Over all, quite nice.
Just for the record: Solace will soon have a short window of opportunity to make a "now on android" joke and i wonder if he will take it.

I really like the story but I just can't fap to this.
I am literally playing this porn game for the plot.

What is wrong with my post?
I am serious, I am just sharing a bit my frustration with this game, which is mostly good. (as mentioned genuinely interesting plot)
Can you explain which part of my post you disagree with and why?
I will give it a try. Naturally, others might have different issues with your post, so i'm only speaking for myself.
And let's start with that:
Throughout your post you are writing as if you were conveying objective facts and not just an opinion. For example:
"Riley is too thin which is not attractive. "
Right away, "thin" can be very attractive to a lot of people. "Too thin" is quite subjective unless it is an unhealthy case, which this one isn't. And like most of the team, with the exception of Chrys, Riley is built like an active athlete which is very attractive to a vast majority of people. You might not be one of them, but again, you present this statement as if it was a fact.
Let's get the tatoos out of the way collectively too.
I personally am not a fan of tatoos and piercings either. I don't think i ever met a person i though looked better with them than would have without. But even from this view, the idea that tatoos show poor judgement and lack of foresight is ridiculous. That case might, MIGHT, be made if the person keeps getting tatoos they keep regretting, which these characters did not, as far as the story goes. Because if someone gets a tatoo and they are happy with it in the future too, then the easy argument can be made that this shows commitment, a stable aesthetic taste, good forethought and decision making.
And since you complain about Chrys' tatoos, i guess you either didn't progress much or you didn't pay attention.
Those out of the way, let's go through the rest of your complaints about each girl one by one:
Riley. birth mark and being divorced.
Quite an easy one: if such a small imperfection on the skin can make you feel disgusted, then quite frankly, humans are not for you.
And her divorce is quite a clean one too: no child, no lingering sentiments, no further complications, etc. If this is already way too much, then you are extremely judgemental.
Harper. body shape.
I've written what i wanted on this subject already, but just for the sake of doing things in an orderly manner, here it is again: Harper has the body of a top light athlete who somehow still managed to maintain her breast size and curves. When you call it unattractive as a statement, then you are telling a lot of people (both women and men), that their ideal fantasy body is bad.
Chrys:
Actually, MC does tell her that she doesn't have to roleplay, but she shuts him down fast, saying that she does it for herself. Again, it seems like you either didn't progress far or didn't pay attention. Her haircut and make up are also part of the punk style she thought was needed to be the kind of girlfriend she wanted to be.
Valentina:
Where do i even begin? Valentina clearly has difficulties understanding human interactions and emotions. But this can be the result of dozens of different conditions and problems in her early life. To reduce it to the question of "am i exploiting the mentally handicapped" when she is clearly capable of making and understanding her own decisions shows a severe lack of understanding at best and an absolutely horrid perspective at worst, which would be far worse for any child to inherit.
Overall, your post shows the worst possible combination of mixing mixing in game world with real life. You talk like you considered these characters as marriage candidates as if they were in the real world and yet you used a basic deal breaker check list like in game even triggers to make the considerations.
Each character in this story has flaws and you seemingly only looked at the surface level and failed to put them in context.
Riley is the senior in the team, both due to her age and because she started this superhero thing first. But because of this she thought that she had to lead the way in everything and rushed into several mistakes head first. Her story is about finding a non-judgemental prick who shows her that it's ok to learn from mistakes and it's never too late for anything.
Harper always viewed superpowers as a chore and a source of problems and she has to learn to view them as a part of herself and her life.
Chrys is so awesome that it's kind of unfair, but she pretty much thinks in character tropes and her traits of loving gaming, pink, cooking and sex does not fit into any archetype she knows, so she thinks she has to choose one at a time and hide the rest.
Valentina's backstory is still a bit of a mystery, but it's apparent that she was trained and ordered around for a purpose and now she has to learn to stand on her own and build relationships outside of trainers and training partners. Quite frankly she is very close to the situation of a veteran in this aspect.
This story is about people overcoming their mistakes and problems but you condemn them. And then you say you like the story when your comment goes so harshly against its lessons.
Everyone has their own preferences and that's all right. And despite it's meme status, it is also understandable to read pron for it's plot.
But somehow you conveyed your view and misunderstood so much of the themes and characters that it does seem like a troll post.

Just checking, we're all still onboard with the theory that Harper's sister is the cat, was also the one leaking the info and behind QU's abduction, right?

Thanks for bothering to explain, even if it is rather disparaging.
You seem to have forgotten that you are replying to a post where I was explaining why I do not find the characters sexually attractive.
"You don't get a boner for this character therefore you do not understand her story theme" is a ridiculous take
Who here gets a boner for story themes?
Why should story themes overrule my personal preferences?
Trying to shame people as "judgemental" or "awful" for not finding someone attractive? absurd.
To then actually insist that it is outright "trolling" to not find a character attractive is just downright bizarre.

First of all, let me point out that this post is the first time that you actually say that these are your opinions.
I don't expect you to write 200 disclaimers into every sentence, but as you very correctly pointed out yourself: people will interpret your words according to the context and tone. And it might be your regular style or you might be trying to keep a 20 year old meme alive, but i for one simply do not conflate "i can't fap to this" with "i think...".
Since i don't know your usual figure of speech, your intention to show that you are trying to convey your opinion is simply gone, as i mentioned at the end of my post. And putting your post aside for just a second, if a person forms negative opinion about others based on what they see, then that is absolutely fine. But if they present this opinion to others as if it was a fact, then that person is called judgemental. It is that simple.
You wrote in short, flat statements, "X is" and without vocal tone, body language and knowing the writer personally, these can easily be interpreted as statements of facts.
On reality vs fiction: You are kind of wrong on both parts and there are a lot of examples to show it. First, a piece of media can be very immersive and the consumer would still know that it is fiction. E.g. John Wick. Popular rating shows that people find the movies to be engaging and gripping, yet viewers in the cinemas didn't act the same way to the movie as if they would have if John shot 10 people right in front of them. Even when you are very deep into a fiction, people still know that it is not real.
Similarly it is very common for people to have different preferences in fiction and reality. This forum being what it is, you wouldn't have to look for long to find a Slaanesh fan even tho they wouldn't want WH40K to be real.
Harper:
I didn't miss the uncanny valley part for Harper, i just didn't answer to it, since i'm not really familiar with 3d modelling and it's intricacies.
Chrys:
You do realize, that she started playing this style she has long before MC arrived to the academy. She already has the outfit, the haircut and the "tatoos", she already pretends to be a bad student and she already hides her room from everyone.
Also, you did read the conversation i mentioned, so you must know that she has no tatoos and the rest.
Valentina:
Standards?
This is a perfect example for what i'm trying to tell you. Nobody here knows you or your pattern of speech. Your sentence can be interpreted many different ways:
On one end, you again, might just mean that you don't find her personality attractive and you wouldn't want to deal with her situation. That is perfectly valid and fine and if you say that this is what you meant, then i will defend your point too.
On the other end if you mean that people who find Valentina to be endearing, fun or charming have no standard and are just "taking advantage of the mentally handicapped", then that is a condemnation of a lot of fellow readers and you invite a justified backlash.
In short:
Despite how it seems, i'm not against you. I don't know you and that is the point. You combined a few factual mistakes with a delivery that requires interpretation and you gave very little context. If you look at it objectively, TigerWolfe's and OhGodNotAgain's replies were similar to your post: short and voiced their opinions. What was your reaction to it? You asked for elaboration and context because you don't know them enough to understand in detail what they found objectionable.
I am the same with your comment.

To clarify, I don't think any of those things are slutty. Not even the tattoos. I thought I was clear about it.
As I noted there are 2 completely separate issues I have with chyrs.
Her taste in fashion which I find very unattractive (but others like) is one issue.
Her attempts at "seduction" (pretend to be a slut) is another.
In the game she justifies both in different conversations.
Her justification for her style is "that is the kind of girlfriend I want to be". while her justification for her "seduction" is, IIRC, something to the extent of saying she thinks this is what guys like and wants you to like her.
While it is true that her tattoos are fake (even though they don't look fake)
fake tattoos are still ugly.
And for her specifically I did not specify lack of forethought, just saying the tattoos look bad. should have mentioned the word fake there
Even if someone is not familiar with the meme, "I can't fap to this" is not "nobody can fap to this".
It is very specifically "I". Me
I can see how some people would take it as an attack on themselves. So fair enough.
Thank you for pointing it out.
My intent was not to judge people, I even was specifically saying "I" in that sentence.
It just makes me feel guilty, like I am doing something wrong. But I don't judge anyone else for it because logically it is fine.
It did not occur to me that some people would take it as an attack on them. But now that you mentioned it, I can see it.
Thank you. I appreciate that.

By installing the most recent version you get the whole game so if you are missing some event it's because you haven't triggered it yet, but it's there.
