Ren'Py Abandoned The DeLuca Family [Season 1] [HopesGaming]

[Master of Puppets]

Basic premise is that the educated, responsible couple put off having kids, until they get their careers sorted.
By the time they feel financially secure to have kids, it's biologically too late for them.
In the same time, a redneck woman of similar age is already a great grandmother.
At that rate, it's devolution, not evolution.
Mr Average of today falls into cryo sleep and wakes up hundreds of years in the future, where he is now the smartest person on the planet by a country mile, due to the devolving intellect of the species.
That's the segue to your comment re. fearing for the human race, we're seeing the results of the devolution, already!! lol

Two women want kids; one of them has kids, one of them 'puts her career first' until she isn't able to. Which one is the stupid one?

Lots of people have made sacrifices, doesn't equate to their intellect or education.
Being impregnated is no sign of either. It doesn't require any intellect to make a child.
Abstaining from having a child until you can provide for it properly, could be argued as being the responsible choice.

We all sometimes want mutually exclusive things in life, or those where we can only get two out of three or similar. Will depend on individual priorities how you choose. I having kids was the priority, number two would have made a mistake (not the same as being stupid, we all make mistakes). If having a career was, then it would have been number one. Odds are however, that both of them chose what was best for them.

I mean, if people are here on a forum, were text is used to commincate, how the image that I will answer their questions if they can't read?

This is not about being newbie I think, it is about knowing-learning forum use When I was newbie, I never asked a question before reading last 2 pages -at least 2 pages- and I couldnt ask a single question about a year I mean whatever the question or problem or game bug there was always a person who experienced that and solved or learned it is not possible to solve it And honestly, I dont understand people who dont do it, checking the last page orjust searching for it always way shorter than stating a problem and waiting someone to response

If newbie dont know anything about rendering, those render times cannot be estimated correctly I was shocked to hear that an image in this forum -it was not for game, it was in the collections- rendered in about 4 hours and I was like "What is render and how the fuck can it take 4 hours?" Later I learned that there can be shorter-longer times depending on your system, image quality etc and I still never guess an images render time correctly

I feel like that events wont be at locations of this this list
For Luna and Gracie Musala hills and rooftop are public places, with their whole life of "decent lady" training there is no way their first sexual intercourse happening in the publice places Same as Cordia, in a public place in Lucania? Impossible
My answer is the plain and boring answer, with all of the main characters first real action will be in the DeLuca manor or a place prescheduled like a hotel room I think, maybe except Luna If there would be an event which Luna saving MC or MC saving Luna from somewhere isolated, there may be a "spurt of the moment" action can be happen

Note; Because I am answering a lot of messages I put some of them in the spoiler tag, but there arent any spoilers, If someone reading this sorry for such a long answer/post

It is way more subtle question that you are implying. While I understand your point, we have to separate between two cases:
1) she actively postponed it until she new she is not able to. In other words, until probably of pregnancy p=0, so no child by choice.
2) she actively postponed it but p>0, yet as she tries and fail, p keeps decreasing until it reaches p=0, so no child by realization of random variables, either because she underestimated how much time she needed to get financial security above a certain value so p decreased further than originally wanted or p(t) was chosen correctly but she had really bad realizations.

After all, one does not choose to become pregnant, one chooses to try to become pregnant.

The two are not identical and I would assume the second case is the one that is probabilistically relevant (that is, that actually happens in real life). There is also the fact that that you say two women want to have kids but not two women can have kids, but I think that would be just cheating on the question.

Yes, I love losing time with total nonsense.

There is no walkthrough. Not needed, in game tracker gives all the info you need.

Yes there is. I used the walkthrough, though it doesn't cover all the content(but most of it).

 

[tk99]

Every time I check this thread ....

There is a troll (army?) insulting supporters.
There are supporters speculating about who, what, when, where and why.
And sometimes Hopes drops by, leaving some breadcrumbs or some comments.


This is the best marketing I've ever seen, planned or not, it's really great.

There is a guide in the OP (I used it too), but nothing titled as a walkthrough.

This one isn't nonsense though. I have a good friend from my late teens who tried to get pregnant in her mid 20s and managed to do so (after more or less accepting that she never would) in her early 40s. All with the same guy by the way (not me).

Just making sure... double negation implying it make sense, right? I can barely understand anything lately. I blame porn and sugary foods, which being who I am a is a big problem...

Well, yeah they have been trained to be "decent ladies" (by Wilfred & Cordia), but you do know that MC is basically countering that with more and more interactions with the girls, right?

With Gracie, there's kissing (which basically evolved into tongue kissing), fondling, massaging while watching porn), in which Gracie from previously before she met the MC (and started a "learning" relationship) would have even considered.
With Luna, like Gracie, she's grown accustomed to MC's fondling & touching etc coming to enjoy it (and she even says "breast", which she previously thought inappropriate to say).
There's also Isabel & Cordia, but I'll skip them because otherwise I think this message will get far too long.

Musala Hills, in my eyes looked like a quiet place for most part. Sure, there might be rare times a civilian might just appear, but it's a place where Luna sets up contact with TJ (her gunsmith) to buy her illegally customized guns. So she's likely picked that spot for a reason, because she doesn't want to get caught (due to a possible civilian seeing her in the act), and towns people rarely venture there.
No place more private than that, if you ask me (unless TJ somehow manages to catch them in the act )

Regarding rooftop for Gracie, yeah it's extent of privacy is probably lesser than Musala Hills, because it's still part of the town. But still, it's on top of the building and the exposure of the act is less likely, unless MC Gracie forget to bar the door heading up to the roof (in case, people who live in the building hear them).

With MC and girls being more and more flirty, perhaps it's just me but I wouldn't mind them getting more adventurous (even for their first time), or even a little bit risk taking or daring in terms of places where they have sex. Because as you said, just having each of them do it in the mansion and hotel comes off as.......well boring lol.

And to be honest, regarding having sex in the mansion, I'm a bit curious as to how that will be covered later on. Till now, every thing MC has done was just teasing and a bit more, but what would happen when full on acts of sex are done? Will rest of the Family just not hear (using the reasoning that this is a game, so other people can't hear what's going on) all the moaning and groanings of ecstasy?

I mean sure, I could be wrong, but even so, I do like variety and mixing things up.

You are correct, in "isn't nonsense", the "n't" and the "non" cancel each other out, so it "is sense", which is a grammatical catastrophe in its own right.

Forget about being grammatically correct. Lately I am happy simply being able to make to cohesive sentences in a row.

You are able to make a cohesive sentence? I didn't know it was even possible to write one, not without having to re-read and triple check the text

 

[Gamer_01]

i don't know anymore.....i'm truly starting to fear for the human race.....

WOW! You're only now doing that? I've been doing that for at least 15 Years. Boy, are you behind the times.

 

[DanglyBang]

Why you do this to me? Why you show me The Joker haters even in fap game? Can't get away from them anywhere. smh

 

[WhiteyG]

Ha ha ha, have you ever heard of a film called Idiocracy, by the guys who did Beavis & Butthead?
The opening 5 mins of that comedy is so close to truth it's seriously scary.

 

[LuciferPrometheus]

Which one is the stupid one?

The one who debates on the internet.

Well, to be fair it was not a troll army, there were people who asked or complained about "time between update is too long" and we were defending Hope with the reasonable stuff until last 1-2 weeks I think. I have seen trools before but now we are facing a determined and iron willed mega-troll Honestly, why a person or people bothers with creating multi accounts to insult dev and game fans and recreating accounts when the older ones get banned? If it is a marketing strategy or -as someone before implied- a trick by Hopes to confuse fans and make them forget about update, I would gladly take it, thats would make sense a bit

Speculations is just us, I love talking about games I played and movies I watched , create theories about them, trying to see the stuff not making sense etc and lucklily I am not the only one, when I find this thread there were lots of talk and speculation about game, I cant help to jump right in the middle, now this is the only thread I am checking daily I suggest you to do the same if you love the game

Yeah MC challenging their life style but still I cant think of they dont caring about anything and fucking in public.
In case of Musala Hills and trading guns, it is like seconds of action. Go, take the gun, give the money simulteanously and leave. It is like buying pirate books, you can do it in public as long as you dont give time to people around to understand whats going on.

For Gracie, it just looks impossible. The girl is like a computer, she is all about probablities. If there is even the slightest chance of being seen, you can be sure that Gracie will think it and won't agree to do anything. In the house and dancing sessions she knew that either she wont be seen by anyone -like the times she was in her room- or she can explain it without causing any harm to any one -like dance session, I am sure she at least predicts that MCs presence with girls is at least facilitated if not encouraged, so if she says "I ordered to MC to do this" who will argue?-

My guess with Luna still holds by the way, she tends to be reckless and sometimes show her affection towards MC in front of other soldiers -like the time she is holding MCs arm and saying "I am counting on it then" and Joey thinking about "Thats definetely sir worthy" in the warehouse raid mission- so if there would be enough passion and emotion she can forget her decency and jump to MC (not in front of other people of course)

I want to say "Isabelles stuation is bit more clear, to be seen by someone means certain death for her and MC so she wont risk it" but she and MC love taking some risks like yoga sessions or BJ scene, still it is hard for me too think Isabelle just dont mind and jump to MC in a public place

The boring stuff is really boring but Isabelles first real trial with happened in the manor why wouldnt that be the case with others?
