Ren'Py The Null Hypothesis [v0.7b] [Ron Chon]

[KingAgamemnon]

If we did allow you to permanently friendzone girls I would have pushed for Storm and Wolverine to hook up.

You know that actually brings up an interesting question.
Will there be differences in character romance progression if you start it later than if you start it earlier? For budget reasons I can't imagine it would, but Jean and Rogue seem pretty dated in terms of when it happens (i.e. before Jean becomes the Phoenix and before Rogue copies Captain Marvel's powers)

 

[salscou]

I and the comic nerds would be on board with that, along with other canon relationships being formed if you as Null don't pursue a relationship with them. But, unfortunately, we all know how that would work in practice, all things considered:

"What the fuck?! I didn't date Rogue in chapter one, and now she's with Remy in chapter 3 and she won't leave Remy for me!

This game sucks ass!"

Yeah, i know what you mean, but i personally also would be okay with that, its kinda sad that if you dont date the girls, they pretty much get doomed to being friendzoned.
But then again, maybe that would open the door for Laura to end up with Julian, and i cant go through that again.

Julian, Zebra Daddy, Synch... the writers really love to give Laura the best options.

The only legitimately good pairing they ever gave her was Warren, and then they took that away, Laura is Peter Parker levels of punching bag for Marvel.

Care to explain what that relationship with Julian was like? My lore on X-23 is pretty much nonexistent.

Btw this is a cover by Alan Davies of the upcoming kitty and Logan miniseries.
Written by CLAREMONT!!
I dig her looks. Specially the feets if you know you know

Hes a cocky, arrogant dick, and was in Null's shoes but was found lacking, didnt give her the benefit of the doubt, ended up getting shanked for it, and Laura ended up having to go with a demon to save his sorry ass, leaving Laura even worse, he also ended up becoming a villain.

Think Empath, with less redeeming qualities.

The plot requires the girls to trust Null. You don't need to date and/or fuck them to achieve that.

So the player will be forced to interact with all of the potential girls to a degree but won't force you into a relationship.

If you enter a relationship after their main plot is complete, then it's the girls will go "Oh I have feelings for my friend" instead of "This guy just helped me with my problem, I think I love him."

was in Null's shoes

I can neither confirm or deny Laura sneakily watching you in your sleep.

We know damned good and well she was, before she was invited into Null's bed.

 

[FacelessVixen]

...And stealing our/Null's used underwear.

This, we all know that if Null checked the outside of his window, he would find claw marks.

...And stealing our/Null's used underwear.

No, that would leave a trace, shes an assassin so she wouldnt do that.
Spreading her scent on his things though...

Truly the grindset of a sigma killing machine.

Dude, did you not get the scene where she brodied your underwear after you showed her your meat?

 

[salscou]

We are talking about her doing things behind Null's back without him noticing.

Truly the grindset of a sigma killing machine.

From my reading of it it wasn't a relationship so much as:

Julian was able to medivac a dying Laura to be healed at one point. She ended up getting a crush because of that and sort of stalked him for a while, quietly freaking out over having feelings for people.
Eventually she left the school and did her own thing. Then, when she came back, Julian was at his rock bottom and tried to pursue that old thread (even though I'm not sure he ever showed interest or even awareness previously) but Laura was capital O capital I Over It, and rejected him outright. He didn't take that well and sort of started stalking her in return, which was far less cute when he did it.

idk if there was anything beyond that, but I absolutely have holes in my knowledge of the timeline.

TLDR, we dont gotta worry about opening a door to Laura X Hellion, cuz laura closed that door herself.

So we're not friendzoned if we don't date from get go? like we can steal'em? coz that might merit it's own replay...

 

[salscou]

cuz laura closed that door herself.

Of course she did, shes a tough girl that doesnt take bullshit from anyone, but as a reader that was one hell of a trip to slog through.

There's no stealing anyone from anyone, this game does not have love triangles nor will it ever have love triangles.
But yeah, if you turn them down at first, you can start dating them later on. Which you kinda have to do if you want to date multiple people.

Of course she did, shes a tough girl that doesn't take bullshit from anyone, but as a reader that was one hell of a trip to slog through.

True, I imagine it was much more bearable to read since I didn't have to wait weeks or months for the next issue to see it be resolved.

"What the fuck?! I didn't date Rogue in chapter one, and now she's with Remy in chapter 3 and she won't leave Remy for me!

This game sucks ass!"

"So here I am playing this H-game with my goddamn dick in my hand like some kind of basement-dwelling asshole, clicking through all the options and all this goddamn annoying dialogue teaching me about 'the importance of consent' or whatever, when suddenly, Jean Grey yanks me aside to tell me she's pissed at me because I'm tryna pull Rogue over here. Then Gambit shows up too and just for movin' in on his girl explodes my ass so hard I land right back in that goddamn hospital and lose all my skill points. So now I can't talk to Jean OR Rogue for days, let alone fuck 'em -- AND I lose points for it! All I fuckin' did was tell use the Flirt menu to tell Rogue she's a 'good student'. That's hardly flirting at all!

Then I looked it up on my trusty F95zone and apparently, I can't even get with Rogue anymore just cuz I missed my chance way back in Chapter 1 and now she's with Gambit. Forever. What the HELL? I thought this was a porn game! Aren't I MEANT to try fuckin' every girl I see? So why is this shitty game punishing me for playing it like a porno -- even though it's LITERALLY a fuckin' porno? And why would they lock off girls just because I didn't get with them in time? What, like they want me to focus on the story and goddamn CHARACTERS? I'm not looking for fuckin' Shakespeare here. I'm just tryna jack off!

This sucks dick harder than X-23! Hell, this sucks more mutant ASS than Null! It's even MORE retarded than Professor X slowly rolling himself backwards down the stairs! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!"
