I seen this VN alot and I was like alright I'll give it a run.

...Needless to say It's impressive how you take a girlfriend who is incredibly insecure and worried your gonna leave her for someone better when you can have literally any girl in the world according to her and 180 her instantly and be like "yeah your the perfect guy and I'm just gonna wingman every single piece of ass that looks a little bit lost in life into a harem for you"

whew, unexpected speedrun of personality swaps

granny is no new character.she is the diner owner and was there from the beginning.
maybe don´t skip the most and read some???
In his defense, the current story does kind of go from "Oh look, it's the nice older lady who runs the place." to an almost "I've known this lady all my life" type of familiarity...

It is a bit weird...
I mean there have been times in my adult life where due to a resturant's proxemity to my job, I ate there litterally 5 days a week for over a year and never had that type of familiarity with the manager...just saying.

Then again, I've never gone anywhere and just had panties drop to the floor simply because I walked through the door either, so what the hell do I know?

Same on the latter, but I used to eat at a nearby fast food chain and always ordered the same thing and over time the workers would start making it as soon as I walked in, and manager would occasionally not charge for the food at all. And this isn't some small town where everyone knows each other, I was just a repeat customer. I guess they were just friendly. :) Never even knew anyone's name that worked there.

Another wish for future releases, that the MC stops neglecting Stacey! I've got a soft spot for the "redhead childhood friend" trope because I had one that I've never been able to reconnect with.

In the time since the last post, I've been dealing with some issues. Both dev-wise and personal-wise. But that's not what I'm here to speak on today. I'm here to talk about the upcoming updates.
Hello, I've got a really big dingus, both length-wise and width-wise, but that's not what I'm here to talk to you about today, I'm here to share the word of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ:

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”

Let us pray.

How is discord looking right now?
Same as always, most saying be patient the update will come and the occasional person asking where the update is or if BD has said anything about it yet.
He did say 3-5 for the first release so he's still in the release window i guess but we shall see. When it comes to BD I never get my hopes up anymore

Quick question, is the dev a native english speaker? The technical aspect of the writing usually looks like a native speaker (or at least has a native speaker proofreader) but I've run into a couple weird grammatical things that make me wonder.

This is the second time I've seen "can" used where "be able to" should be. Or "may" shouldn't be in the sentence (or be "maybe" instead.) Either would work but not both. There was also an instance of a double plural but I don't remember the exact context so its hard to explain what I mean by that.

He is, but you need to remember that most of these devs (native, or non-native English speakers) are not typically proficient writers. Especially ones that do not have/use supports for things like grammar and spelling, It's not their strong points.

Compared to some of the hot garbage that comes out from non-native devs using google translate, BD is pretty solid.

That restaurant you went to 5 days a week... did you ever have an actual conversation with any of the people working there? You can't really get familiar with someone if you don't talk to them a fair bit.

As for old ladies being called granny by half the neighbourhood, that isn't strange to me. They just acted like they were the grandma of anyone they were on good terms with. And that group just gradually expands as everyone keeps introducing new people to her. Until everyone just knows her as granny. It's not something you do as a customer, but they do as a proprietor. Or even just as a neighbour.

Yes, he is a native English speaker.
No, he's not an English major. He writes with improper grammar.
Most Americans have regional dialects based on where we live this however is more likely to be an improper speach patern steming from a poor education level. "May can" is a comon phrase among the lesser educated. Another common double modal is something like “he might could help you” Additional examples of lesser educated speach styles would be something like "them things" instead of those things, or “everything what he told you” instead of everything that he told you.

English is a pain in the butt language. we start it in 1st grade and take it every year for 12 years. Then we graduate and if you go to university We still have to take it again, and if you want to get a degree in it you have to take 4 more years worth.
It's not uncommon for some people to write with the same poor speach paterns that they pick up from the society they are raised in, that's just the way it is...

I do understand that it is anoying, I get it. Personally, I find it extreemly anoying when people interchange "Then" and Than" and say something like "Given the choice I'd rather have chicken then shrimp. I hate shrimp." obviously what they mean is "Given the choice I'd rather have chicken than shrimp." (for those non native speakers who don't understand the difference, the first means you will eat both chicken and shrimp but have a preference in the order they are eaten. the second statement means that if you can choose you want chicken instead of shrimp)

Anyway, I digress... BD is a native English speaker, he just has some bad/wrong speech paterns.

Yeah that makes sense. It kinda bugs me that this stuff irritates me because I really disliked the writing and grammar classes in school. My biggest pet peeve is that for some linguistic reason unknown to me, translating from a certain language (not sure which) causes mixed up pronouns and determiners. "This" where "that" should be or vice versa, and sometimes when there are both men and women as subject/objects they get gender pronouns mixed up. But why do I care? I'm not a writer. I haven't even used a word processor more complex than Notepad in, well, a long time. Why do I still remember these rules and why do I care when they're broken? :/

But I'm also just posting something other than criticizing the dev for their bad record with releases because I'm looking forward to it's arrival. :D

Yeah it's regional dialect from around the Baltimore area.
