@LupaPrinceRomulus: Precisely, although I don't even feel like it's a git gud situation. Cause it's like the only hints towards those checkpoints is subtle hints about say like.. "A ball will be held on the 14th!" You end up thinking, okay should probably train her speech and dancing.. But then at the ball they have her trip or need to run or something and your like, I didnt train that stat! Bah!


@Laufeia: Ooh o.o Ill check those out when I get to work tonight. Ugh! It doesnt even feel like I had yesterday off. x.x;

@LupaPrinceRomulus: Oh for sure, there's much to be praised with it. From Character design to storyline, It is still fantastic and that's part of why I played it at all. Usually If it says Visual Novel, I won't touch it. It's just too slow paced for me and not enough options. When I play Princess Makers or Raising Sims as they're often called, I prefer a lot of freedom and choices. Same with old-school dating sims. Now, a lot of games have Dating Sim stuck on Visual novels which to me, is a big lie. Visual Novels tell a story with a few option choices that lead you down a path. Dating Sims require you to not only make choices like that, but also require you to raise up different stats to reach requirements for each girl. That's kind of how I felt LLtQ was for me. They labeled it a Raising Sim and it operates like one, but because you need to meet these checkpoints so badly or you die and fail entirely, I didn't feel the freedom of guiding your character to one ending or another.


@Laufeia: Oof. Sounds stressful. Is it a big move? Make sure they don't try to charge you for that! If they're sleazy enough to not fix it, you gotta watch out for them trying to charge you on the exit. x.x Ugh.
They told my BFF who just moved from Michigan to here with me that he was fine leaving his apartment with only 2-3 weeks notice then charged him the month of May in rent saying his lease didn't end til the END of May.. which is bull! $600 we're on the line for now :/ They kept his whole deposit because despite it being a smoking apartment they charged him with severe nicotine damage too. Just a nightmare these companies..

@Laufeia: Uuuuugh, That is absolutely the worst. I used to be really meek and timid, so I would let people do that to me a lot. Especially in the Technology realm. I played dumb and let them tell me the same stuff over and over that I'd already tried. Finally, I got this job. Its an awful job. It's like.. One step above shady hotels you see in movies with hookers and such. That meek attitude had to go dealing with the people here. Now sometimes my boss treats me like I don't know how to use the PC and it grinds my gears so bad I end up telling him, ".. Boss. I built a PC two years ago. I have repaired every PC I owned since I was 12. And Many of them still work."
It's a ballsy move but I think he's starting to get that Im not a total idiot.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: I have in fact played Hatoful BF! That is another one that didn't really scratch my raising sim/dating sim itch but the story was kooky so I appreciated it quite a bit.
