Uncle, many people seem to think that they would do this and that in a situation like that. That they'd be heroes and die in a vain attempt to stop someone with a gun. That they are made of bulletproof materials or that they are special versions of flesh that can't be harmed.

Others, where I include myself, have seen face to face what a weapon can do, even if wielded by someone with no experience or poor training (in my case child soldiers some even younger than my 10 years), and we know, we know that bullets against flesh, flesh loses 100% of times. That cowering from a gun is not cowardice but prudence. We know that the smart thing is to do all you can to escape. Yes, it will burn forever in your perennial diminished self-image, but, you'll be alive to feel the burn. Survivor's guilt and PTSD are fucking REAL, dead heroes too.

The story, as you told it, made perfect sense for me. But, what do I know, I'm not an action hero with a fucking death wish. I am only someone that survived a brutal civil war sleeping under a bed with bullets peppering the walls of the room. That had to swerve between corpses to go to school, because fucking life doesn't stop.

Peace :)

P.S.: Maybe you all understand why I sign out with Peace now.
I've done some really stupid shit in my life, even standin up to a man with a gun. Not just once either. But I was young, dumb and full of cum. The first time I did that, the guy wasn't actually shootin anyone and you could tell he was scared shitless. But someone actually shootin people, that's a whole other story. That's when you, me or anyone really needs to think about what could happen. But multiple shooters, even as insane as I am, fuck no. I'm nopin tf out.

I was always that dude who was known to do the most insane shit growin up. I've ended up in the hospital so many times because of it. I've been stabbed and even shot because of it. Got the scars to prove it. At my age now though, I'd rather die protectin my family, then let someone harm them or worse.

I'm not even gonna try to change your mind.

But.

Maybe there's more to their relationship than what you are presuming.

I "could" say a LOT more, but I'll leave it at that.

One thing tho, that may be related to this or not, here in Portugal we have a saying "Presunção e Água Benta cada um toma a que quer" - Presumptions and holly water each person takes what they want. There's also a few about projection and stuff, but I'll leave it that.

Peace :)
There is a choice to go to the door and die then and there. The survival is always the path of the rat who abbandons the sinking ship - you wanna be the Titanic Commander that had literally nothing for character development or place in the plot of the movie but going down with the ship? Did you forget Leonardo and Kate ran like rats and literally jumped ship when they had nowhere else to run from danger - you mind telling us what other plots you had in mind for this game and the titanic?



There was a choice to be a dead hero or a dead victim - thank the dev for the Alex third option that kickstarted this game.
No worries man I understand my game is not for everyone. I won't try to push you to keep going either.

MC is not a hero yet, especially not in chapter 1. He like most people are afraid to help in a situation like he was in. Plus would you really want to put you life on the line when you have no gun, no combat training and your family doesn't seem to care about you?

I know I made some mistakes early on and got a lot of negative feedback about a few things like the mc is dumb and why did I put those twins in the game. There are reasons for it all. This is a heroes journey from a nobody to someone special. I am not going to make things easy for the MC, he needs to struggle, make stupid mistakes, overlook things, not question things, and just fail at times. These are all learning experiences for him. Book one is a growth story and the mc has a long way to go still.
It's not an issue of the MC running away instead of confronting the gunman, it's the internal monologue going on where he comes off more concerned about underwear than his mother and sister being murdered as he's doing it. If the MC is going to run he should just run after the first shot, maybe throw his laptop in a bag first because it's obviously important but standing there contemplating what frivolous things to take while his mom and sister are also getting gunned down, just get out. Then have them get shot as the MC is out and he hears the gun shots and sees the muzzle flashes from a window.

On the other hand if this guy and whoever he works for is looking for this list it seems killing the people who you think know where it is, is counter productive if it's something you're looking to get back.

Well the socks and underwear was supposed to be a joke. Anytime I left home and knew I wouldn't be back for a while I was reminded to pack socks and underwear. I try to add some of my poor humor to the game at times to lighten up some of the darker topics.

I can get that and there's a time and place for it even in dark moments but I don't think it was that. I'll probably pick this back up but I do hope the MC gets better.

Redemption ark for the crazy harleys had to start at some point - nothing like self pitty and tears of hatred and haplessness cannot kick start.

Back to our normal programming of ... fan fictioning the beginning of this games hero journey for the MC:

So glad I gave this game second chance and played long enough to see Alexis with normal lashes, or I'd have missed out on such an amazing game. I can't wait for the next update

Uncle Loco Poker :LOL: Sounds totally legit

All redheads would be overwhelming:KEK: Something to try at some point
Alexis and Kelly are really pretty. Alexis has that unnatural allure. I'm just about halfway I think

Thanks man, hopefully you are enjoying it so far.

As for too many redheads, I made these for fun on my discord.
