[1603] easy mode and bad end

[S1arburst]

There is an entire genre of VN with plots involving suicide pacts. If you’re a fan of that sort of thing then by all means pursue Peek. It’s literally your funeral

Why would you even want to produce a robot that played those plots though? What good does it do you to kill off the users of your products? You wouldn't get any repeat business. And I really don't see Dr. Gero's enthusiasm about wanting as many people as possible to experience these accessories if they're going to make them miserable and kill them.

Remember, Kitsune are fox spirits. I can see it going something like this:

We die slowly in each others arms, bleeding out until we collapse... then we both get up, wipe away the faux blood (remember, kitsune are masters of illusion), then we each get pissed that the other didn't really die and grapple and stab each other to death... then we both stand back up and laugh and laugh, look each other in the eye and say "I can do this all day"

I don't think they're going to be having Peek fulfill any of the bad VNs where the player dies. No, give that Poke says Peek is still programmed to have sex, I'm going to assume she's just the type of girl who is really really hard to get. She'll have a whole bunch of affection-raising events, the right choice will never be obvious, and if you mess up even a single time you can't complete her route, and even once you look up a walkthrough you'll discover that she actually randomizes her events from out of tens of thousands of options, etc. etc. She's designed to be stupidly hard to win, and really easy to lose.

Which is why Peek would be more fun to play with. Like Piro once said <I don't want it to be easy! I want it to be right!>

Trust me, you'd rage quit if you had to play Peek. If you were stubborn enough you'll die.

I can't believe that TWB has gotten closer to the truth than anyone else.

Even Miho admits there *are* a series of right choices that would lead to the good end. It's just that no one has made them all... yet.

I can believe that.... why do you think *shifts glasses with a sharp glare* he has a fan club.

Is it just me who is childishly amused by the phrase "Poke in The Foxhole"? (Probably)

More disturbingly a "poke" is a shady slang term for quick meaningless *ahem* carnal relations. So the name is multi-layered (should come as no surprise). They could have been named "Snog*" and "Avoid" (leaving Ping as "Marry"?)

(* snog = kiss)

Now you mentioned that,

Peeking into The Foxhole is something that either hunters or juveniles would do. Take a pick... peek.... Ugh.

[Ningen 2]

My juvenalia would be poking Peek while peeking at Poke.
