I was very happy with the enhanced edition of PS:T too. I had gotten pretty far in the old GOG version and hit soft locks multiple times, or lost saves. The enhanced edition is good and needed! Glad you’re enjoying it.

I don’t know anything about soft locks in it, anything I should look out for in particular? I’d hate to get fucked after spending a few dozen hours playing
I haven’t heard of anything notorious with the Enhanced Edition, so I think you’re probably fine. I think you may just want to hold onto one piece of garbage at least, but I’m not sure you can actually run out of that item for good.
Just FYI know that you can pause during combat if need be to set actions for all your party members. Apparently some people don’t realize this and it doesn’t do the combat any favors…

Today I completed two routes in Dramatical Murder, the game that dares to ask the question:
And I think the game’s answer may be “No, not really, unless they share some severe trauma with each other first, and are both virgins when it comes to being gay.”
So the first 71 minutes of this game were pretty fab but then this shit started happening
5,000 words about a porno game in here with heavy spoilers but no actual lewd images unless you're super turned on by an*me
Where you spend all your time helping your grandmother, which we can all admit is a major “b*ner killer”
And this shit, where they start drowning you in scifi gobbledygook that has very little to do with having sex with your boyfriends. I streamed a bit of this over Discord, which was brave of me, and brave of everyone else who joined me for it. And I was told I kept shouting “What does any of this have to do with gay sex?!” And I am still asking that question. Maybe I’ll always be asking that question now that I’ve been vaccinated. But once you meet all the boyfriends this game just goes down the tubes, there’s all this time spent talking about MMOs and gang wars and downloadable apps and saving my grandmother and so little time spent building up relationships with all the available singles in my area. I have no clue if this is common in these types of games. I wish I did. But I get a feeling it isn’t? Maybe all this worldbuilding bullshit is a hook to get you to play through every route to gain a deeper understanding of this setting but…that seems silly to me? Shouldn’t the real hook be hanging out with boys, and seeing how they groom their pubics?? Am I square for thinking this??
Is it normal for a porno to spend so much time talking about a grandmother. Is this a trope I’m not familiar with. I’ve read my fair share of mangas but this is new to me. It is absurd how all these dudes are so concerned about your grandmother, even the gang leader who ordered his thugs to tear off Aoba’s pants, revealing his bush (it resembles Sonic) in a somewhat uncomfortable, problematic scene. I wonder if that scene was part of the $4 DLC I downloaded. I have no clue what was in that patch. It sure wasn’t tons of butt shots, I’ll tell you that much. 11 hours of playtime and I saw like 2 and a half butt cheeks.
Demand etc etc etc
This is me after I tell wifey I ate all her french fries on the drive home.
Keeping this on my desktop as “sex.png”
This scene is when I realized maybe the entire reason people play these games instead of reading comics is so they could hear VAs moan, and do sucking and licking noises. I would pay another $4 for bonus content showing the VAs recording these scenes. I would pay $12 to see people do erotic foley work though I guess that’s probably not a thing, most of this stuff is probably using existing sound libraries huh.
It turns out my boyfriend’s great trauma is that he was tattooed against his will by an evil yakuza tattooist. Also it wasn’t with normal ink, but super powered ink that drove young Koujaku into a frenzy which resulted in the death of his mother, who was a yakuza’s mistress, which means Koujaku is the heir to a yakuza family, but he turned it down cuz he would rather cut hair and didn’t like getting tattooed? Also the tattoo artist had kidnapped me, and planned to tattoo me against my will as well, as part of some elaborate plot to lure Koujaku back into the fold…I think?
Maybe this is all camp, maybe I just don’t get it, maybe it’s I who is the fool for not finding this incredibly funny. I mean, it’s kinda funny, but I haven’t been totally numbed out by exposure to gay porno games yet. I don’t need all these twists. I’d much rather see two dudes try and deny that they wanna leak fluids all over each other.
So my boyfriend hulks out and murders his tattooist, who I think exploded into a bunch of needle shrapnel that pierced my boy’s skin and began drowning him in hate? And I reached out to say “No, it’s okay, if you don’t turn to the dark side we can be gay together,” and it was kinda sweet, it made me go “Oh wow yeah I guess people do love each other sometimes, and will express that love via physical intimacy,” but then the game took the sickest turn of all
Then the game asked me to spell shit.
Imagine being so horny you marathon this game in one 8 hour session and right when you think you’re finally gonna see a butt the game asks you to spell shit. That’s cruel. I’m sure that appeals to some but to me, that’s cruel.
I thought the game was asking me to consent but no, you’re actually encouraging Koujaku by saying DON’T GIVE UP, which brings him back into the light, which also leads to the entire Private City For the Mega Rich to explode, ending inequality and allowing you to go back to your grandmother’s house, where you have unprotected gay sex for the first time in both your lives.
Also your hair stopped being so sensitive after that city blew up. Turned out you had psychic powers and people love doing what you tell them to do. Also it’s sweet when these two confess their love to each other. The sex scene is lame though, there are two pieces of art where you see half a dick, some wet sac, and one foot. Maybe that appeals to some, maybe the visual aspect is not key here, but I believe if you do not cover all the positions (doggy, on top, normal) you have failed at depicting truly hot sex. Koujaku enjoys it though; his nose starts bleeding during the act, which I have never seen before. Is this common in hentai? I’ve only seen that happen Master Roshi-style (an old man seeing panties or cleavage).
Afterwards Koujaku cuts Aoba’s hair so he no longer looks like a member of Kajagoogoo and they live happy ever after.
If you don’t pass the horny spelling test you get an ending where you become the evil ruler of the mega rich city and Koujaku is the demonic sex slave you keep chained up in the basement of your palace? Kinda comes outta nowhere. This ending shows no sex but does use the words “firm member” at least once.
This guy’s Clear. He’s the second guy I had sex with. I believe his personality type is “quirky chibis”.
The branching point in this game is arriving at Platinum Jail, the megarich city. You shack up with whichever guy you’ve scored the most points with up to then. This is what happens when you wake up for breakfast the day after arriving with Clear. I did not post the only butt shot I saw in my time with this game, as I do not want to get in trouble, but do know he was “wiggling it without shame”, which lead to Aoba karate kicking him in the face.
These boys got problems.
This is by far the most unbelievable moment in a game featuring a protagonist whose hair hurts if you sniff it. It is very
Clear has never seen his own face under the mask and I gotta say the big reveal does not deliver, so far none of them have, and it’s not helped by the fact that these two kinda have the same exact parts. Maybe there is another route that reveals that Aoba is a replicant, just like Clear – oh wait sorry for the spoiler but Clear is a replicant – but in this route these two look like brothers and I know that’s popular in some circles but to me this is bad writing okay, it is bad writing.
Somewhere in this route Dye Music comes up, which is some more scifi bullshit that is briefly mentioned yet factors into the climax. It’s a song that brainwashes the listener and I’m not sure why Clear had to sing a song to destroy his evil twins and the billionaire who runs Platinum Jail while I was standing right there with the power to convince anyone to do whatever I want just by saying a word but I dunno, maybe it was explained earlier, somewhere in the 50% of the game I played while really drunk.
I’ve heard this so many times, and when I explain why it’s good, actually, they always say “Who’s Marv Albert”
Anyway Clear is a robot and he is a very gifted robot whose last wish is to raw dog the player. The French call this “la grande morte”. After he passes you feel real sad but then a year later your grandmother revives him and I guess you get to be a couple and have gay sex in her house, cuz granny’s clearly okay with you being gay. Clearly a nicer lady than she seemed.
Clear’s bad end involves him turning heel and amputating all your limbs and cutting out all your sensory organs aside from your skin. Maybe all the bad ends involve sex slavery. I am not perverted enough for video games.
Anyway this is one of the better VNs I’ve played which isn’t saying much I guess. I never felt all that bored, it didn’t waste too much of my time, I am also definitely not the audience for it, but as a work this seems so scattered I can’t really see how it succeeds as a narrative or as pornography? I would love to know if players who loved it were into the scifi stuff or if they are like me, and just wish this was all guys being dudes with the occasional bits of cyber flair? I’ve been reading lots of comics again lately and they’ve mostly been sickie shit of varying degrees of quality but even the most bottom barrel stuff does a better job of exploring perversion or human relationships or establishing an interesting setting or having some variety to the visuals (sex acts). Comics are also way, way less of a time investment than this. But I guess the voice actors do sound nice, and the sucking noises were probably pretty pro, and maybe hearing terms like Ribsteez or Boonflaps or DorQue or Kidnapped Grandma appeals to some folks, and maybe making half a dozen binary choices over the course of a few hours makes one feel more involved than flipping pages, I dunno, I dunno, I wish I did, but I also wish there were more adventure games I wholeheartedly liked. I once again recommend Ladykiller in a Bind, that game was really funny.
Anyway I’ve spent years telling people the game I’m making is not actually porno but now I vow once I finish DDD I’ll make Virtual Valerie 3 and win an Oscar.

So far the worst I’ve seen of it is when wandering around the Hive, the thugs are a little too enthusiastic about chasing you down to whack you, I’ve tried to avoid combat encounters whenever possible. I wouldn’t mind it that much because its easy XP but whenever you get them to low health they run away and don’t stop until you wedge them into a corner or something. I’ve had 5+ thugs chasing down my party and just in general getting in the way.
at my friend’s place and the PS5 is really just repulsive in every way

It is larger than the original PS3, original Xbox, and original Xbox One. The new Xboxes are also shallower than they appear when stood on end next to it.

In some ways I regret getting a PS5 over that new Xbox. It’s so huge and hideous. Its controller is well made and the haptic triggers are cool, but it’s so damn large that I find myself still connecting the little adapter that lets me use an Xbone controller whenever I play a PS4 game on it.
But I guess I’m still assuming that the PS5 will have more interesting exclusives, and it is nice to play PS4 games on this thing, so if I had to do it all again… I guess I’d still go this route.
They need to release a smaller controller pronto though, and they almost definitely won’t.

it helps that there’s still very, very few reasons to get an xbox if you have a PC you like, but I am not at all enthusiastic about the competition

by the time they get to the ‘super slim’ revision it’ll be the same size as the ps4
