Haha, you sweet summer child. "Monopolies are illegal here in the united states"

I have 3 options for internet service provider in my area. All 3 are owned by comcast.

Not only is that a monopoly, it's a government enforced monopoly because it is illegal for someone to make an ISP without government permission.

Additionally, simply because these 2 companies are owned by different entities does not suddenly make the monopolistic business they do disappear. They clearly collude, when one raises rates, the other does too. When one decides to go on a random censorship crusade, the other one does too.

Laws are only as useful as they are willing to be enforced, and the US government is not interested in enforcing its laws against billionaires, only peasants.

Here's another example, a year ago or so, every single US Cellular provider was caught illegally selling user data, estimated to be billions of dollars in profit. The largest fine that was given out was a percent of that. Imagine being allowed to steal 1 billion dollars, and the "penalty" for stealing 1 billion dollars was paying government officials 0.01% of the money you stole. This is how our government works now. This is how laws are enforced.

"Laws are for thee and not for me" is the motto of corporate america.

Boycotting?

You want to boycott "using money on the internet?"

The opponent here is an effective monopoly, they control the majority of payment processing. You cannot boycott without abstaining from the modern world.

This is the same nonsense as trying to boycott ISPs, Cell Providers, or Insurance Companies.

Sure, you technically CAN by abstaining from society, but can you REALLY expect someone to abstain from society. 

Steam has never removed a game from people's library without a full refund.

They delist from the store, but people who own a game can continue to access it.

"Easy to be on your high horse until someone threatens your entire livelihood"

This is an absurd statement to make considering that what has happened here has threatened the livelihood of a bunch of developers who make NSFW content. 

Itch is a victim sure, but itch is not guilt free. Itch's job was to provide these small developers without resources a platform to host their creations, and as part of that job, Itch was expected to provide a degree of safety and stability. Itch suddenly deciding to capitulate without giving any warning or time for these developers to react has absolutely obliterated their livelihood. Itch took no steps to actually try to protect the interests of the people who make the product that they sell. They are complicit in the havoc done to hundreds of developers livelihoods.

As a temporary solution you can use Steam to remap the controller inputs to keyboard and mouse inputs.

You can chose not to take a curse and just take damage instead.

I'm really enjoying the game so far. I do have a question though.

Are there any plan to make the "route" a bit more clear? Like in the original, how you used the map and could see who you're mainly hanging out with for an event. I noticed there are a few events where you go to them, and to get to the other event you have to blindly decline. Instead of making it blind, maybe adding a hint as to what happens if you "go do something else." Because sometimes the declines are just full event skips where there is no other alternate event, or it is a different event with a bunch of other characters, and it's really hard to tell without rewinding and checking both paths. I can understand some of the mystery, but it's annoying when "Not today" could mean "I go for a walk and find an entirely different event" or "I go home and sleep for the rest of the day.
