Or randomly deciding to get blackout drunk on Skullcrusher in the middle of the fight for reasons. XD

Canon fodder rats with chemical weapons gives me Skaven vibes, but Victorian street urchins and less grimdark vibes. Be interesting to see what you do with that.

Did you find the keys behind the dumpster or get the charm from beating Mahir? Both of those let you avoid getting zonked. 

Did some Halloween themed fanart with an alt.

Random lore question, but can everyone in-universe see when Mezz's eyes change color in trance state or is that something only the player can see? And if characters outside the gangs can see it, would they know what it means or no?

Playing through Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and love the tarot card graffiti in the game, especially since they strategically place it near characters that relate to the specific card.

Was looking on e621 and UnsafeScapewolf did some pics of Mahir

The datacrystal is just a JSON object passing variables from the save from the last game, and the next game checks the variables to trigger the appropriate scenes. Really basic information like how many times you got knocked out and whether you got the "trained" ending or not. You can open it in notepad or something and see. 

Same here. I lurk but I chime in occasionally when I have something to add ^v^

Definitely sign petitions but also call the payment processors and complain. Collective Shout claims they got the processors to do this with 1000 people and if even a fraction of the people signing this called to complain we'd top that number easy.

The problem with "We'll make our own payment processor for blackjack and hookers" is that banking and payment processing is highly regulated so there's a huge barrier to entry, plus most people don't want to have to create multiple accounts to buy things online.

I'm not a crypto guy or anything but this might be the only use case I can see for it since it's still unregulated and decentralized enough that campaigns like this wouldn't cripple entire industries.

It'll be so hard for Mezz to keep track of which species has the best cocks with all the mental reprogramming he gets with each game. Would they overwrite each other or would there be more superior methods of mind control that would take higher priority?

I just saw it shows on the map but not the pamphlet.

Played through it today and enjoying it. Don't see anything for if you exceed time and the delivery is cancelled (heavy load complications + bad rolls). Assuming it would be similar to abandoning a job. Not getting paid and -2 to REP.

I did the "Here is this cute mouse nerd" approach since it was a general group of furs for a one off at a game store. If I did stuff that was more overtly in the Cruel Serenade setting I'd have to make sure everyone was into that first :P

Used Scratch as a guy in the chair/fixer for a one-off campaign. The crew had to netrun into the city subway system's local net to drop a virus and a NetWatch agent intercepted comms and messed with the team's memory so they forgot they were in a simulation. The agent was impersonating Scratch and trying to get them to drop the payload at the wrong "car" (port, server, folder?) while Scratch was trying to signal to them the right location with the train PA, billboards, etc. which was causing glitches until they figured it out. 

Lewd keychain where he's naked and presenting and his hole is also the hole for the key ring. And he's wide eyed when you put a caribiner clip in there lol

You could draw this on a Shrinky Dink and make a real Mezz keychain.

Of all the villains in the series so far, Mahir is definitely the hottest one. His genteel sadism is like a scalpel while Khazeem and Diesel are more like a sledgehammer. They all can break Mezz easily but Mahir is way more precise about it.

Mezz come in here looking like a snack~

Ah, yeah. So kind of like the bad end with the boars where the player can choose to give up and be a slut instead of of retrying the fight. The drugging aspect does make it complicated though since the endings where he's really heavily on it he's too far gone to make a choice. 

There's one of the endings where you fight Khazeem and you use the luck charm where you worship Mahir's balls and I don't remember Major using the clicker and Mezz's eyes aren't glowing green, which kinda suggests he's not completely zonked for it. At least that's how I read it.

Wondering if it's a coincidence or intentional that Khazeem in the second game and the werewolves here choke out Mezz as part of how they corrupt him. Like how to escalate stakes by making the new enemies more of a threat than the previous boss. Khazeem had to do it several times and overload Mezz with Dragon's Breath, while the werewolves are using physical might and magic but are the standard enemy.

Yeah the second one feels more on-brand for him. If he got in over his head and needed rescuing, he'd act too cool to admit it.

If the reveal was big enough I could see 4 and 5 be the story being wrapped up in 2 parts in the way movies split the last installment.

Did another meme pic

The way caffeine works is weird. It's less that it makes you energetic and more it slots into the receptors in your brain for another chemical that tells it that you're tired. The brain adapts so it makes more receptors so you have to consume more caffeine for the same effects. Mezz could have built a tolerance over time.

For a solo made indie game for $10 I'd say there's quite a bit here. First game had way less but was PWYW and exists as a good proof of concept. I'd imagine future installments would probably have as much if not more since the mechanics from the previous games are already built.

Saw a Humble Bundle on my feed for royalty free music and sound effects and figured I'd let you know. Not sure if it's anything you could use but if you do it's less time scouring the internet for bgm

Which as much as he probably wouldn't be thrilled to be wearing it, he had to put it on at the gate and reapply in the alleys everytime he got facefucked. The mental image of Mezz doing the wide-eye open-mouth putting on mascara face each time XD

Like how the street outfit comes with mascara just so the hyenas can make it run lol

I could see Scratch doing some stealth portions but with some hacking mechanics like turning off cameras or making a machine malfunction to distract a guard. 

When going to the middle section, there's stairs leading down to a a bar in the alleys. Are those part of a future content pack or just flavor?

Deleted all my copies of the game, reinstalled it, and played with the starter included on the game and that seemed to fix it. Guess my save was corrupted (ironically and not in the fun way like Mezz).

One more time. Doing it again this morning, it started after I got caught by a thug. Was able to knock out one client, but the rest would vanish after I spoke with them.

Oops, one more time

Save files

Played through my save to confirm, second time around I got 4-5 clients to the alleys successfully before they started disappearing. might have gotten nabbed by a thug at that point. Didn't see any glitches, but exactly what I did leading up to it was talk to Mahir, pass on the fight, do the porno gig and unlocked the north section, went into the alley, went into the first thug encounter and took Skullcrusher, then did the middle section.

How do I send a file?

Just disappear after I talk to them. I carried over the save file from the last update before I talk to Mahir so maybe it's that? 

So gotten the new bad endings (very hot), but when I go through the middle section and talk to clients, I get the message that they nod their head but they disappear and I don't get any credits. I'm not able to get clients into the alleys until the third time. Is that supposed to happen or is it a glitch?
