Sped through to the end of Winter today and decided to take advantage of the incredibly convenient and totally not suspicious sale at the mall to buy up ALL the lingerie on offer at X-Treme Intimates, since that's the best opportunity in the game. I have to wonder how my purchases survived incineration via Sentinel, and also what the X-Men must have thought when they came across a very crispy, well-done Null with about three wardrobes worth of women's underwear on his person. How polite of them not to comment.

Anyways, I definitely had enough in my bank account for all those clothes on the purchase screen but apparently the game thought otherwise, which I assume must be down to some minor glitch in how it calculates the sale. Led to this unintentionally funny text exchange after Null's little nap:

Yeah, thanks for that 'modest reward', Chuck.
any other advice to advance with the girls faster like this?

last time i played the girls gain stats with the clothes and other gifts, well the gifts only worked once cuz of a bug or something like that.

Sure but just because you have this or that scholarship it doesn't mean you have no interest in other stuff.
I hate it when games only allow or encourage min-maxing and hyperfocusing instead of being more well-rounded.
I get wanting your choices to matter but it feels like such an artifical limit.

I don't want the choice in scholarship to be the choice of which 1-dimensional savant you become. Let's strive for 3-dimensional characters.
I understand what you're saying but, the choice isn't a limit. It's a multiplier/advantage:

And if you're like, "You're cheating", I don't have any cheat written for those. It was just A LOT of time spent in the danger room and I constantly have to train if I want to get ahead of Laura.

The scholarships, at least in terms of ranking and points, is just a multiplier, not a cap:
Code:
        def reputation(self):
            reputation = {
                "academic": "n/a",
                "combat": 1.0,
                "social": 0.75,
                "sexual": 0.0}

            if season_day > 13:
                academic_sum = self.History.check("studied", after = day - 13) + self.max_stamina*self.History.check("attended_class", after = day - 13)

                exponent = 0.185

                if self.scholarship == "academic":
                    exponent *= 1.5

                reputation["academic"] = (4.0 - 1.0)*(1.0 - math.exp(-exponent*academic_sum)) + 1.0
If I recall correctly, Laura has a combat advantage. So I have to train like 2~3x as hard as her just to keep ahead. This would pretty much even out if I had picked athletic.

Again, it's not an limit, it's an advantage/multiplier.

I... don't think anyone's tried this before. I'll pass it onto Ron.

My request for Spider Monkey has been denied.

Which is the entire point.

The average Null just puts in the effort to be fit. As Laura observes, Athletic Null makes sure his fitness is functional.

An Academic Null beating Laura on the rankings is completely possible because you as the player put that effort in. It's just you chose the background that didn't make it easier.

I'll use the whole D&D class comparison thing.

Half y'all(Not you Kirby) complaining about failing stealth checks when you chose the Barbarian class.

How about they put more porn in the porn game?
How about they put more consent in Consent Simulator?

Like, add back in the consent that they took out, and add even more consent.

Talking to the girls requires consent. Taking a shower in the locker room requires consent. And you now need Rogue's consent in order to try to save her from Juggernaut. ...and even Juggernaut's consent in order to save Rogue from Juggernaut because men have feelings too.

Yeah, deliberately touching Juggernaut without consent constitutes unwanted sexual advances! Definitely a Title IX violation.

You all forgot to ask Colossus!
He also needs to consent to being whitness to Null touching Juggernaut and Rogue.
And Laura gets bigot points for not askin for Null's consent to drag him off.

Laura is protected by Good Samaritan laws. Neither Rogue nor Null were in position to refuse. Null though -- he was interfering in the consensual exchange between Colossus and Juggernaut. Colossus specifically requested Juggernaut's attention even if he could have been less vague to conform to guidelines.

Do we have to ask consent from the infirmary to enter? If not, that's a case against us.
