Well Luke is turned on by sharing so why not have Kat manipulate him into liking this aspect too. After all, it's better than fucking a stranger.

Then you have already missed the point. AI Animation is NOT default for RENPY standard in the first place. If a dev goes as far as to bake it into their game, they can go a step farther and CAN code the setting to disable them as well. It's just a preference of if they want to or not. Clearly it's a divisive technology so you can't blame people if they like AND dislike it.
Also more and more games with AI animations are choosing to add that setting nowadays. So while you're correct in citing the setting missing, as the standard- it doesn't mean that it's fine still with the AI tech added as well. I mean we could also smash rocks with other rocks. But once we mastered the iron, we appreciated the hammer for doing the job better, no?
Lastly, just because you enjoy the game as is, doesn't mean everyone else does as well. If someone bothers to type a criticism, fair chance they care about the game in their own way and would like to see it improve. Your method of skipping SKIPS EVERYTHING. The original poster only wants to skip AI animations, not the CGs themselves. There is a stark difference here and I have no idea how you think it's fine to fit a square in a round hole because "at least it still blocks the hole".

So I take it... If you go down the path of debauchery, you'll see more scenes with glorious heroes?
What if we follow the path of love, or 50/50? What's the difference? There's no point scale. What is your opinion?

I disagree with your argument completely, friend, because you clearly failed to understand what I wrote, and I did not mention anything about animations or AI animations being a "default" in RenPy at all lol. I actually said the opposite. It is clear you didn't understand what I wrote, or you just need an excuse to argue a senseless point and twist things. So once again, I stand by everything I wrote. If you still don't understand then that is beyond me. Your comment is more like twisting things and looking for an argument lol.
And yes, I am very correct in what I wrote, but I didn't invent or create RenPy, so if you view the tech as "divisive" that is your opinion, and I respect that but I do not agree with you. Not to mention, I rarely ever use Unseen Text or Skip the VNs I like and enjoy, it would be pointless, as I made that clear as well. Also, everyone is entitled and has the option to enjoy the VN the way they like, and can use the features in Preferences to enable or disable Unseen Text, and I made that pretty clear as well, LonePrime. Everyone has a right to use RenPy default preferences anyway they like, and again, to each their own.
Also, I am not blaming anyone for anything whether they like the tech or not, and that is not what this is about at all. Lol... Those are your own words not mine. I made it very clear in what I wrote and how people use Unseen Text and Ctrl when using a PC to skip animations and or text if they want to is their own choice and option if people want to use it, and it works as intended - Simple! End of story.
How is this so complicated lol. And again, the image and reply comment shared shows a custom coded screen preference that is NOT the standard default that most RenPy VNs have, unless a Dev adds it, and default does not include disabling "AI Animations." It's funny how I repeat what I shared and still some folks don't understand lol. I rest my case, but thank you for your comment. Cheers!

Sorry, it's not considered polite to cite names of other games in a game's dedicated thread. I'll just DM the link to you.
Yea I'm not going to bother reading past this line. Because it's hilarious to me that you think that I don't understand your point when you clearly COMPLETELY presumed wrongly that when I said "divisive tech", I actually meant RENPY and not AI Animations themselves. I mean how does that even make sense? Literally the OP's topic was "ways to avoid AI", not to "ways to avoid Renpy".
Yea, discussing this is pointless. And it's definitely my fault for biting. Consider this the last on this from my end.

If I understand your question, the question is about difference between the two routes? I can say that in the “warm” path you miss a lot of spicy scene. I think dev is making a game for full throttle players.So I take it... If you go down the path of debauchery, you'll see more scenes with glorious heroes?
But like in the IRL a good partnership means to stop at a certain point.

I do not disagree with some of your points, TonyMurray, I simply made reference of what another user posted and that is actually the only solution for VN games that do not have a custom coded screen preference in RenPy with the ability to disable AI Animations specifically. Would it be a good feature to add to Preferences in RenPy, absolutely. RenPy should add a feature like that in future updates. As I mentioned before, when having Unseen Text On and using Ctrl on PC the user has full control and can choose when to stop at a certain point manually like you said, and although it can be annoying it is an option that is available and works in RenPy.
As for what I wrote about this, I stand by it 100% percent, friend, and I also made it clear I respect other people's opinion and how people wish to experience the VN is also their own choice. To each their own. If anything, this just got blown out of proportion and clearly misunderstood, but I cannot be more clear with what I already wrote.
With that said, I rarely every use Skip Unseen, because there is no point in it unless a user has already experienced some parts of the visual novel and wishes to skip things they have already seen. As for animations, I never skip those. It is part of the story, but if some folks prefer to skip animations that is an option that is available to everyone, and perhaps the Dev should consider adding a custom coded AI Animation skip feature in Preferences.
As for debunking any criticism, there are many that love, like and enjoyed The East Block Chapter 8, which I did very much and so did many other fans and supporters, but I don't need to debunk anything. I simply shared my own experience as other do on here, and also agreed some improvements are needed. If someone doesn't like the VN's latest update that's okay and I respect that. But as I wrote previously on here, sharing constructive suggestions to help improve the VN, I am all for it and I am sure Bobby appreciates it, too, and I believe The East Block will only get better.
Either way, thank you for sharing your points and feedback on this. It is appreciated and all good, friend. Cheers!

It would be very strange if Luke were OK with Kathryn after she returns. She takes his dad's side, openly treating him like a child by giving him the option to leave, and spending a whole night (even if nothing happened, which is my preferred route) with his dad. No sane/self-respecting man would be OK with that.
Maybe have Elise sense their bond weakening and try to seduce and manipulate Luke?

Couples in real life overcome far worse things than this and their bond becomes stronger, so it would not be strange for Luke and Kathryn to work things out and make things better for themselves. It is a VN story after all. Anything is possible, friend. ;-)
