"Wait, so they get super powers, and have an easy time getting off? How is that fair?"
"Listen, I was perfectly fine with the super powers okay? A hot day in summer and that Iceman guy froze a fountain on his way home, amazing fella. I was a-okay with them when they started to come up from the sewers and that weird bone lady tried to stab me with a femur. I was perfectly okay with mutants even when the known terrorist picked up my recently bought car and threw it towards a bunch of other mutants, I was fine when the guy who shoots lasers blew it up to high heavens.

But this? Enough is enough, this is where I draw my line."

ty for telling me that. I forgot his name and honestly was struggling to remember it and I wasn't sure if I spelled that right. but the whole thing about it going further back than that makes sense. there was the whole War of The Worlds radio broadcast back in the day and a lot of people thought it was real
Apparently that is a bit of an Urban myth, Snopes (Yes, I know it isn't always the most reliable source) has page all about it, but it is extremely easy for sensationalist newspapers to find a few idiots who make a big deal out of something and then pretend that wide spread panic ensued, when no such thing happened.

Yeah... yeah, I could easily see that as being the case.

But this? Enough is enough, this is where I draw my line.
:D
Specifically I was thinking many mundane women might get annoyed about it, considering how many regular women have trouble reaching orgasm, they really could think it unfair. And it's not like people are typically that reasonable and rational to begin with, finding a stupid reason to get bent out of shape over something that in no way impacts them is annoyingly common.

But your point is still amusing, and not wrong. :D

Personally I would call it Hydrogen Hydroxide. You can also add that it's gaseous form can cause severe burns, and currently factories regularly dump tons into the atmosphere, and no government regulate it. ;)
And drinking too much of it too fast can cause Hyponatraemia causing headaches, blurred vision, cramps, convulsions, and potentially death.

As a vapor emitted by some types of factories, nuclear power plants, and hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles it's also a strong greenhouse gas.

With Null it certainly seems very much different and any reaction to Nulls touch would be more psychosomatic(?) than some side effect/consequence of his powers. As seen in the game, Storm, Laura, and Rogue all reacted differently upon physical skin to skin contact with Null. Rogue for example probably felt something like Relief and exhilaration, just because she could have skin to skin contact with someone without her potentially killing them.

So not to be annoying, but on the roadmap on the Patreon says that v0.4 will release in march. Are we still on track for that or has it been pushed back?

I'll spoil ahead of time and say no he doesn't. The girls are into him because they're into him.
Which I am quite happy with. Null generally comes off as a decent guy, and I think he'd be worrying a lot about if he's inadvertently mind controlling the girls if there was even the possibility of it.

It isn't. You can just say sensitive.
Fair enough

Possibly. :sneaky:
Would make sense.
Although JustCallMeSteve's thought about it being more psychological and only partially physiological also makes sense.



On a related note, there is a small problem with the description of sparring with Laura/X23:
In the first section she seems to always be reacting to him as if it is skin to skin contact, but she's wearing gloves, and her suit covers everything but her head. It's a relatively small thing, but it is a continuity problem that you may wish to address.

I mean, what do you think this is, a comic book?
;)

To add to this, you can get an idea of the reaction Storm has thanks to X-Men 97.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

With Laura is a simpler thing in my head, a "Superman reacts to pain" situation where nothing you can do will hurt her, she is so used to torture (assuming her comics backstory) and her healing factor making erasing the pain that she gets a thrill out of the new sensation... and yeah, the love thing too.

This does make me think that while Null may not be addictive like Zero, he still has something more to him that he can get girls off that easy. Either that or girls with the X-gene are more orgasmicly (is that a word?) sensitive than mundane women - that's not likely to go over well with half the population when they find out "Wait, so they get super powers, and have an easy time getting off? How is that fair?"
Honestly, it's a porn game. I'd imagine it doesn't have anything to do with mutant powers or anything. I guess you could maybe argue pheromones but nothing about Null's power would justify why he has that power beyond Porn Contrivance. Much like the fact that Rogue, Laura and Jean are somehow fine with Null sleeping around. 'Acceptable' breaks from reality.

Null managing to get women to orgasm just from light petting is likely just an unforeseen feature. A bug. Could be a Good Bug, could be a Bad Bug. I'm sure most players (men) wouldn't complain about the ego boost of "I made out with a girl and made them orgasm!" Granted heavy petting does involve direct stimulation without penetration and that can definitely lead to an orgasm. I'd argue that could just be a case of Null being an attentive partner who pays attention (Hearts, Question Mark stuff).

The latest I saw in the Discord from Ron (3/19) is that they're still anticipating an end of March release.
Huh, that'd be surprising. The current release is about... A week old, give or take a day or two. Glancing at old updates, it kinda seems like they release every middle of the month. I saw an old January post that says every two weeks, though... Guess we'll see on the 31st.

Did you see the discussion about Null's power and Laura's adamantium?
It was hard to miss, went on for 2 pages and some posts were practically essay length.

But, if you insist...
Yes, nearly EVERYTHING in fiction is because it serves the story, not because it makes any damn sense (which annoys me at times). Even when they are trying to be true to real life, they still do it.

For example, in the movie Apollo 13 the Apollo crew were yelling at each other and arguing, but in reality, the crew says it never happened, they were trained professionals and they focused on their jobs. It was added to the film for dramatic tension - I doubt the actual crew needed any more dramatic tension than possible impending death...

Nope, missed it still. I don't really do a complete backread and if they were practically essay length, If I saw it, I likely didn't read it. I could have assumed that it's probably some theory crafting or basically actually confirmed.

I would imagine they thought "These people are about to die, they should be arguing and yelling." Something, something reality is often stranger than fiction.

Anyway, my point was there's a good non-story reason why Null could make some woman cum just because he was kissing and stroking them. Besides, a lot of the stuff he's doing is foreplay anyway and it's not like penetrative sex is necessary to make women cum. It doesn't have to be magic.

Null may be a but I doubt there's any actual magic (or mutation). Just a dude who knows what he's doing. It's headcanon territory but for all we know, he had a bunch of flings before he ended up in Xavier School/Institute.

It was the same sort of "how does this work" thing as what I was asking, but much more in depth.
I'm a little miffed for getting my balls busted for a couple sentences that were meant as more of a throw away comment than anything, while that gets a pass.

I have been annoyed by this for years, and others have experienced it as well, out of everything you say, someone is going to focus on the throw away comment and turn it into a Big Deal.

Actually, the majority of women don't orgasm from penetration at all. So it definitely isn't necessary.

I was more referring to the speed with which it happens. Typically orgasm - if it happens at all - will "result from a combination of at least 20 minutes of direct, gentle, extended massage—by hand, tongue, or sex toy—of women’s whole bodies followed by caresses focused on the genitals, especially on the visible clitoris." (according to a study published in 2021).

It's not the what I was talking about per se (with the possible exception of orgasm without clitoral stimulation, which while possible, is definitely playing on hard mode), it was the speed with which it occurred. But I can definitely understand that as being sped up for the purposes of the game.

I do give credit to the devs for having you move around and change up what you're doing, and knowing that the inside of the thighs is an erogenous zone.

Purposes of the Game and I don't know about you but if there isn't any new moves to be made. I've just been pressing the play button/spamming it (the fast forward button is a bit too finicky for my tastes and I like having more control). Either way, I'm assuming it takes 20 minutes with the girls, longer when it's the first couple of times for obvious reasons. It just feels faster since I feel like it would take a combination of sadistic game design and masochistic players to want to sit through 20 real minutes.

Suspension of disbelief, so far the game hasn't been so egregious with it that I'm bothered. The game does enough right and there's something to be said about finding the balance between realism and gameplay. At least the sex minigame doesn't feel grindy or at least, once you've learned what makes the girl tick (unlocked more moves). It stops being grindy.

Funnily enough, it did represent a nerf when he lost it but not for the reasons you might think.

With his healing factor used to working overtime to stop the adamantium, once the metal was gone his regenration was so good it healed his brain... and then kept on healing, basically the healing factor made Logan go back to monke.
Yeah, I have some vague recollection that Logan was slowly becoming more feral, and the adamantium retarded his regression into a more bestial state as part of his backstory. I'm not even sure how he got it back. Someone told me Apocalypse did it, but I missed that entire story arc.
I know I say I read everything, but I'm skipping on that spoiler tag.
Coward! Don't you know mental trauma is the new IT thing. All the cool kids are going it.
Intentionally ruining set ups is my kink.
My condolences to your SO. It must be really tedious to get you in the mood.
And this is one of the reasons why a confirmed date in 2005 would assist us.

Modern linguistics is very easy to track trends with.
Just be glad you don't also have to account for changes in orthography and paleography. It would probably make me giddy, but I imagine 99.999% of players would either quit or be ready to lynch you after two paragraphs.
For those wondering why he'd bother phrasing it this way, Mr. Sinister was alive during the time of its original meaning.
And someone from Chaucer's time would be either very confused or very offended by the way we throw around the word nice. Although maybe not as much as speakers of British English are put off by the American use of fanny. Language is fun.
You water down your Bourbon? Weak.
Does ice count?
Just try all the available options. Asking once doesn't punish you. Just don't ask a second time. If you make a mistake you can just use the back button.
Even if you accidentally select a rejected option, it only costs you 1 love point. Given how many love points you gain from the sex minigame, and how easy it is to earn love points generally, it really isn't a big deal. On the other hand, it might be one of the things the devs might want to consider tweaking in the future to make it more punishing.
The latest I saw in the Discord from Ron (3/19) is that they're still anticipating an end of March release.
Sort of in the same vein, given how often I've seen "planned in chapter 2," any idea on how far off that might be? And I mean that in the vaguest way possible. For example, is Chapter 2 envisioned to correspond to version 0.15 or something, or is it more of a TBD sort of thing?

Yes, it's a porn game, and there is an element of wish fulfillment, but it is also a game, and a fun or challenging gameplay element is also important. Of course, everyone wants something different out of their games. Look at a shooter. Some people will hack it to make themselves invulnerable and use an aimbot, but for others, the fun is getting good and trying to legitimately overcome the obstacles the game provides. Ultimately, it will depend on what the devs are aiming for, but my vote would be for it to be more difficult to achieve a good grade, particularly at the beginning.

Yeah, those 20 minutes can fly by when with a real girl, not so much when sitting in front of a keyboard.

And also true. I think I lean more in this direction, although not the 20 minutes thing.

Not being able to get her off the first time you are making out is perfectly reasonable. Both of you coming away with blue balls (blue ovaries?) is not actually unusual in those circumstances.

And truth be told, I don't like the idea that my character was a playa' (man whore/ slut/ fuckboy) before meeting Rogue, Laura, and Jean. Not necessarily as virginal as them, but not super experienced either. It feels... wrong.

Since you quoted me here, I'll go ahead and answer with all the authority I have*: sometime in The Near Future™!

As for the version nomenclature, I'm not even going to try; my powers of bullshittery only go so far.

*None whatsoever


Edited to add something actually useful- this is the roadmap the dev team shared relatively recently, so this is what we've got for general expectations. Still not going to try to figure out how the numbering scheme relates to chapters and converts to more standard (whatever that is) version nomenclatures.
