funniest(but also serious) thoughts i have for dol is just finding a way to get rid of encounters and all that sexual stuff

Because this game is so fucking interesting for a porn game how dare.

What is that tentacle room? Why is the wolf howl going to help? How does Black Alpha(i forgor their name) know and got into the room? Does this mean the room is actually physically present somewhere in the town/forest?

How dod Leighton manage to get to headmaster and no one realise anything about him for so long? Are they all actually aware of it? Do people who got used by him meet up?

Are there any townies who manage to move out? What the hell is up with Ivory Wraith? How did the town even get to normalizing everything?

What happened to Morgan? Does anybody else know Eden other than Bailey? How the hell does Bailey know Eden anyways?

I am so goddamn interested in every character, every part of this town, every little bit of story we get with characters and places it's silly

And perhaps my favourite question of all.

Why the hell does the town not bat a single eye to every single thing that happen but still require you to have an ID to get to the strip club bestie there are worse crimes that could be committed and there are. Very regularly. Townies really said "Your body may be grabbed, but god forbid you watch someone strip under the age of 18."

Hello, anon! 👋

(I'm not sure if this is the same anon from before, but welcome, regardless!)

Firstly, any links that I post may contain spoilers, so use caution if you're trying to avoid them. Secondly, this post is probably definitely gonna be a long one, so strap in! (And hopefully this answers your questions, or inspires more!)

╚═════════════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════════════╝

I agree and I don't at the same time. (But I wholly agree that's it's too interesting for a porn game and how dare they lmao)

Getting Rid of Encounters / Sexual Aspects Completely?

A lot of the lore and characters that we love so much are based on the frequent encounters around town that they're fully aware are happening, but can't do anything about (partly due to the police literally not caring, and actually being part of the problem rather than the solution; the other part being if they truly want to or are capable of stepping in on PC's behalf or not). Obviously this changes things a bit if we remove the encounters or sexual aspects completely, although we might retain most story lines, quests, and characters if we still have the required ones (the Ivory Wraith* for example, and love interests such as Whitney, Avery, Alex, etc.). *If you're wondering why I included the Ivory Wraith, this has to do with their backstory. You can learn more about that here if you're interested. Again, beware of spoilers. I won't give anything away, but I was totally against the Ivory Wraith until I read that and now I'm just sad. Also, the tentacle room you mention - is it tentacle plains (accessible through the Hookah Parlour, or the mirror in your room at 3am)? I have suspicions that it's tied into the Ivory Wraith's story, but there's no solid evidence yet (aside from the tentacles, purple mist, the portal in the mirror, etc.).

Removing Only Unnecessary Encounters / Sexual Aspects?

If there was an option to toggle between "normal" and "required encounters", that would be ideal for people who want to play, but can't or won't for various reasons (I won't list them, as I'm sure people can draw their own conclusions if they've played this game). It might actually appeal to those who are asexual and/or repulsed by sex in general, too, which would be great for community building. (The only drawback I see are people becoming too aware of this game's existence and kink shaming, bullying, trying to cancel it, etc.) However, Vrel & team have done a wonderful job implementing something that's similar to that idea without removing the "core aspects" of the game (the point being to do whatever you have to in order to survive). Players can set their game mode to "soft mode" and limit their encounter rate, but this disables feats (if you're unsure of what feats are, they're basically achievements that earn you Vrelcoins; you can spend the coins into your next game to make it easier). Note that you can enable cheats at any point, too, though it has the same effects (no feats).

Black Wolf, The Alpha

As for the wolf howl and Black Wolf the Alpha, I actually haven't played as a wolfie in a while. I'll play through a save file and, should I find anything, I'll tag it here (it'll be under "mine", so it should be easier to find). I didn't know they could get into the tentacle room, so that's really interesting to know. Again, that makes me wonder if it has to do with the Ivory Wraith, although I'm not sure how Black Wolf would have gotten in if it does; the Wraith isn't specifically land-based as Black Wolf would be, so it's a bit strange. (Also, please send another ask if you find out anything - I love learning more about this game!)

═════════════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════════════

The Headmaster

Leighton is definitely hiding something, but I can't quite put a finger on it. I want to know who they're taking the pictures for, since they can easily go to the brothel (and do so regularly) and probably pick up any of the students there, too; there doesn't really seem to be a need for the pictures, at least not for Leighton. So, the next thing that comes to mind is that perhaps Leighton is selling them to someone underground. Someone who might have the upper hand within the school board, or maybe the town (Quinn the Mayor comes to mind, but I don't know enough about them to think they would be tied into that; however, there is an email about some sort of "sin" they committed and presumably "already paid for", but that comes into play with Bailey and has no mention of Leighton - both of them have positions of authority over students and/or (18+) "children", though, so maybe it's not so far fetched?). I don't think that the people who were used by Leighton meet up - however, it would be a unique quest line to follow. It could end with them being arrested (even if the PC has no involvement with the Landry & Mickey quest line, or it could occur after; could be a timed event), and Sirris, Doren, or one of the other teachers get promoted in Leighton's place for their hard work. Although, since Sirris has the Adult Shop and Winter runs the Museum, chances are that it would go to somebody else (i.e. Mason, Doren, or River). Honestly, I would prefer Doren, honestly, as they seem to be somebody that even Whitney hesitates around, so that would create a different kind of dynamic.

═════════════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════════════

Morgan, Eden, & Bailey

Not much is known about Morgan. I have a theory about their child, however, which is probably not anything new for this community. I'll pitch it anyway, because I personally haven't seen it posted anywhere. This is what the Miraheze blog states (which is not official as far as I know, but it does work and is accurate for most situations):

Morgan, upon meeting PC, calls them "Charles" or "Charlene." The dance teacher on Barb Street is named Charlie, which is a unisex nickname for the other two names above. I'm not sure what could have happened between the two of them, but something horrible must have left Morgan deranged in the sewers and Charlie on the surface, who potentially grew up by themselves. For all Morgan knows, or at least the PC, their child has/had passed away; if they were deranged before they lost Charlie, that would explain a lot, as they might not have been mentally stable (perhaps how they ended up in the sewers to begin with). If Morgan became that way after they fell into the sewer, they could be dealing with high trauma, severe hallucinations, and/or low control from multiple encounters (like what happens with PC).

• ┈ • • ✦ ✦ ✦ • • ┈ •

Eden probably wouldn't know Morgan since they pretty much never leave the Forest. They also probably don't know most of the other named NPCs (Whitney, Avery, Robin, Great Hawk, etc.) for the same reason. However, everyone there seems to know Bailey, regardless of where they've come from or been - Bailey has their hands in the pockets of nearly everyone in that town. Eden might know Bailey from buying the PC (to repay their debts), but there's a possibility they'd know one another outside of that. After all, Eden is a hunter - they face the things in the Forest that no one else dares to. This means that they probably come into town to sell the meat, fur, bones, and other bits of the wolves that try to attack them. Also, deer, foxes, and bears are shown to be out there, too, among other creatures (lizard-like beings in particular). Bailey may have found them at a butcher shop, grocery store, or a similar location (maybe even Connudatus Street, at the stalls), trying to sell their wares. Maybe they decided to cut a deal together, something where Bailey offered his "goods", too; a nice, new play toy for Eden and, in exchange, freshly caught food for the orphans.

• ┈ • • ✦ ✦ ✦ • • ┈ •

As for if anyone else would know Eden (outside of Bailey), there seems to be one other person. If you're dating Eden, then they'll come looking for you at Remy's (here's the farm scene, in case you want to read through it). It's unclear whether they know one another before Eden comes searching for the PC, however, so there's no solid evidence for either side yet.

Misc. Questions

Are there townies that manage(d) to move out? While I don't know specifics, I think that there are a few people lucky enough to do so. Everybody talks about being "stuck in [this] town", but I think that Avery, for example, could totally leave if he wanted to. Maybe he doesn't for business reasons, or maybe the PC is his last reason for staying in town (could explain why he gets so angry when PC disobeys, because all he might want is someone to feel less lonely in this pitiful pit of a town, and he just needs one thing to go right and go his way for once). If you're someone like Robin, however, then you might be stuck there for a long time, assuming you do manage to find a way to leave. How did the town even get to normalizing everything? This is interesting to me because this had to have happened over several years, where it just became something that happened so frequently that people began to overlook it; we know this has been occurring since before the "Ivory Wraith" became known as that - so, at least since year 361. It may not have been something that happened often during that time, but it's probably been building up as people moved to or had families in the town. This might have been furthered by previous authority figures, such as other mayors, police forces, etc. I'd also suggest that Quinn might be involved, but it seems as though they'd rather scrub the town's image than let it be ruined (as it already seems to be, evidenced by PC getting asked about the town's rep while they work at the cafe); if they're not actively helping people get away from that, then they're allowing it to happen by not doing anything about it. Why does the town not bat an eye at everything else, but requires you to have an ID to enter the strip club? I've been wondering the same exact thing since I first started playing. I understand that the characters all have to be 18+ (for legal reasons, but also because... well... it would be weird if they weren't?), but I don't understand how you have to have an ID to get in considering there are other ways to "bend the rules." I'd love a side scene where you're forced to help Whitney + friends into the strip club (also maybe he makes you get on an empty stage and dance for him js), or maybe you run into Darryl at one of the parties that Charlie sends you to dance at. Either way, this offers different options for Darryl to see your potential; they could offer you a bar tending job first, then have you dance on the weekends for smaller crowds (of course, they'd have you perform more the better your dancing skills are).

Advice for Players Changing Character

Salutations! I have emerged from my den with some new advice! Sometimes as a player you're simply bored/dissatisfied with your current character, this can happen especially when you're new to the game and haven't played many classes yet. This is completely normal, you can just ask your dungeon master that you'd like to try something new, and can do a few different things. Change class but not character, In this the backstory, personality, and relationships stay the same but your class changes. This is my favorite as it's the least disruptive to the flow of the game and all you have to do is roll up a new character, if you want to try them all but are invested with your characters story this is perfect for you! Unfortunately this doesn't work in one shots (obviously lol) and shorter campaigns more focused on combat.

Playing an NPC, if you have a favorite NPC you like you could simply swap to playing it for a session to try out the class, having your character poisoned/sick for a session and the goal is to find the cure or maybe if you want a longer test run your character is more permanently incapacitated and a sibling/friend from their backstory is called upon to join the party, in this option there are no unnecessary character deaths and you can grow the coolness of both characters if you feel like changing back. Thirdly you could simply ask the DM to kill your character so you could make a new one, just make sure your party understands and you could use it as a surprising moment that sets tension for a boss fight or maybe it sets a grimdark setting. Anyhoo you're smart I'm sure you'll work it out. That is all for now I must return to the Kobald Kave™ Good luck with your characters and remember it's just a game and you can change your character at anytime!

(just don't bring in a new character and bring magic items to the table that were homebrewed from another campaign especially if it has rolled stats and the stat average is closer to an ancient evil than lv 3 adventurer it really throws your DM off and everyone knows you didn't actually roll 3 20's and yes your one 8 in charisma doesn't make your multiclass Echoknight, Mystic hybrid cool KEVIN!)

Hello, berry here, playing Kassandra. Yes I am new at this, yes I am late to the game.

But I would like to point something out from this screen grab i got from another gamer some years past that I am watching while at work when i cant play AC Odyssey myself.

If you ever find yourself ON FIRE!

Please remember to

STOP, DROP, and ROLL!

This gamer above died from fire damage when all they had to do was have Kassandra roll to put out her flames. After the first roll, she may still be a bit on fire but she is not taking damage and the flames die quickly. Thank you! <3

Help

I need help,

In bg3, act 2, I had the decision to either continue with the shadowlands, or go to the creche. I decided to entertain lazels insisting about the damn thing, stopping momentarily to waddle over to the mountain pass. She wanted to head in, I wanted to wait, so I told her to wait there for me.

After a bit, I come back to pick her up so I can explore! She is not where I left her! Where the hell did she go? I feel like having her in the party is extremely important for this. I can't get through the monetary door that another small group went through.

Laz'el please come back. Where is she???..

I probably spelt her name wrong but pleas hpwdbwlbd

Anybody know some good singleplayer games for an absolute potato-grade PC? The way my classes are set up this semester, I have hours to kill between two, but not enough to leave the campus and go home, so I'm looking for some engaging, fun games that can run smoothly on my extremely slow and old laptop. Preferably, nothing that requires audio, since I'll be playing on mute. Just looking for some brain occupying little pixel games this old thing can handle.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

MY ADVICE ON THE REVIVAL OF LUCIFER’S BIRTHDAY 2020 POP QUIZ

C/W: this is my personal opinion

For old players who had played this pop quiz before, this revival is only worth it if you are close to getting the UR card.

For new players, just enjoy the story, this event is not worth for you to spend Devil Points, Energy, etc. on. This event will end on June 1, FIVE DAYS BEFORE Lucifer’s birthday on June 6, which means it’s not Lucifer’s birthday event for this year. If you spend your resources on this pop quiz, you will have nothing for the birthday event 2022. In addition, the UR in 2020 event is definitely weaker than the one in the upcoming event. It doesn’t have a passive ability to counter annoying skills of the enemies in Dance Battles, like what the SSR and UR/UR+ cards later have. Compare a SSR or UR from Chapter A that you have with the latest ones you got from Nightmare or Pop Quiz, you will see the difference. Save your resources for the real event which will start on June 2/3/4, depends on how many days the devs let us rest.

Hope this help.

Can someone in the Kirby fandom help with this?

Recently, my save file on a K Super Star emulator corrupted, which sucked so much bad. I’m trying to figure out how, but I have an idea.

So there’s this one part in the great cave offensive that I think is supposed to go like this:

I know it’s probably confusing as hell, but I’m not that great at drawing these graph things.

Now, this is a really difficult task, and I only managed to do this correctly ONCE. and I didn’t even get to finish it because I died at some point.

So earlier, I decided that instead of doing that, I would do THIS:

And I did!

So me and my beloved Parasol Waddle Dee helper (all my helpers are beloved tho) had smashed the lock, and we entered the door, and then…

The game did it’s title animation. But like… all glitchy and weird. And I wasn’t able to return.

So I reloaded the page… AND MY SAVE FILE WAS GONE. ALL 50% OF MY PROGRESS. CORRUPTED AND CEASED.

Does anybody have an idea if these two are related, or if it was just one cruel coincidence? I’m gonna try and get my progress back with cheats anyway.

Got any tips for romanving Whitney? Do i just put up with their bullshittery or...?

Hello my tiny lil bean ~ ♡＼(*´︶`*)／♡

(nobody judge me, I know this person irl)

Note that the link(s) below may contain spoilers. Not all of the information in these links may be correct, either, but it's available as a general guideline. View them at your own risk!

|ω･)ﾉ

── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──

General Run-Down

SO, the first thing you need to know is that each named NPC has their own defining trait (in this case, Whitney's defining trait is Dominance). This particular trait is going to determine whether you romance or dismiss Whitney. However, some NPC traits don't seem to have an effect on if that NPC becomes a Love Interest. A great example of this is with Kylar, whose Jealousy trait doesn't define whether he's interested or not, whereas Avery's Rage trait plays a huge part in their opinion of the PC. With that being said, here are some guides that I used when I was pursuing Whitney. I've also added a short description of each page underneath, so that it's easier to find the sort of area(s) you're looking for. Below that, I've included some personal tips and/or advice for how I went about romancing Whitney and how to dismiss them if you're not interested in them. NOTE CHOOSE WISELY! If you dismiss them, it's permanent and they can't come back (although, it's rumored you can visit them at the Underground Brothel, but I haven't seen this personally). If you choose to have them as a Love Interest, you won't be able to dismiss them later, either. Be aware that if you have them as a Love Interest, you can choose not to "date" them at any point via your in-game settings (Wardrobe > Settings > Love Interest), but this won't remove them from your game in the same way that dismissing them will. - Whitney General information, including their schedule, opinions on the PC, bodywriting, etc. - Whitney's Events Contains a list of all and/or most of Whitney's events. This was especially helpful when I needed to follow the Alleyway scenes, as those are in a particular order, whereas most of the others are at random. Some of the included events are Hallway Bullying, After School Bullying, and the Halloween Event. - Dismissing Whitney As the title states. This has more specific information on how to initiate the "Dismissing Whitney" quest, just in case you need something more thorough.

,¸,.·'⁀➴ Romancing • ˗ˋ◜❤◝ˊ˗ • Whitney '·.,¸,‿➶

The first thing you'll want to do is get Whitney's Dominance above 50%. After that, you can focus on his Love stat, which must be at 100% for the cut scene to initiate. Honestly, you can work on both at the same time - it really doesn't matter which one is "first", per se, just that they're both invested in. I highly recommend saving often and having a back up save, just in case you begin any unwarranted encounters; this helps if you're running in and out of the Alleyways to try and find Whitney. The best way to encounter Whitney (if you're attempting to avoid any non-con encounters) is to find them at The Park during rainy and snowy days. They'll stay there until 17:00 (5pm) or 18:00 (6pm), which gives you a few hours after school to interact with them. Bringing them a milkshake from The Cafe on Cliff Street while you're not in a relationship with them will give them ++Love and ++Lust. Note that this will also give your PC +Trauma and ++Stress, so plan accordingly. Soon after their stats reach the desired percentage, you should get a unique scene, depending on where you're at. If you run into them at The School, they'll usually shove you into a locker or wall and tell you that "[you've] been asking for this" before kissing you with "surprising tenderness." Should you meet them at The Park, then they'll bend you backward over the fountain (and initiate the same dialogue as above). Either way, you're stuck with 'em at this point!

.·:*¨༺ Dismissing 🛇 Whitney ༻¨*:·.

If they're not your cup of tea, no worries! There's a way to permanently remove them from your game (any new save files you create will still have them, however). To start this off, you need to ensure that their Dominance is at 0%. Then, should the player pass out somewhere around town, there's a chance that it will initiate a unique scene where Whitney plans to sell the PC off, muttering about how, "[their] friends don't respect them any more." A van will pull up into the alleyway, some dialogue will occur between Whitney and the people in the van, and then the pair of them will begin to drag Whitney into the vehicle instead. This will give the PC two options. Option One: Intervene (Save Whitney) The PC will charge one of the kidnappers and help Whitney to escape. After, the PC will gain a small amount of Kindness reputation. Additionally, you'll get a substantial boost toward Whitney's Love stat. However, this will keep Whitney in your game and their attitude will not change toward the PC; they will continue to bully them, try to have their way with them, etc. Option Two: Stay Out of It (Ditch Whitney) Choosing this option will have the PC watch as Whitney is kidnapped. This will remove Whitney entirely (unless the PC runs into them at the Underground Brothel, but I don't think you can save them from that). You may spot Whitney's friends putting up missing posters, but they'll avoid eye contact with the PC, believing that they're at fault for them going missing.

CALLING ALL GAME DEV’S

What advice would you give to people who are interesting in becoming a game developer?

I want to look into game development and I’m really intimidated by it all. I have wanted to make my own RPG/Platformer Adventure game since I was in middle school messing around on Nickelodeon’s website building my own SpongeBob platformer courses. I know it’s a lot more work than making a game on a kid’s website, but I would love any advice on getting started, advanced advice that isn’t really talked about, what you wish someone told you when you started, and any recommendations of YouTube channels or tutorials.

Someone in the murdersim discord server I'm in recommended something really helpful for when you're stuck on writing a route.

Open up a document and write as if you're writing a reader x your character and make notes on places where there could be a choice.

This might not work for everyone, but as someone who has written a lot of x readers, it helped a lot.
