What are your gripes/criticism of TiTs?

[Balek Crisp]

Bullshit. That's a great way to end an argument and has nothing to do with having bad conversational skills. You won't convince an orange juice drinker that milk tastes better than orange juice, even if it's my opinion and obviously I'm always right.

I have a strong feeling that's sarcasm, so I won't comment too much on that(it being a great way to end an argument to be specific). However, that line is infamously bad because it ends the conversation about a subject without reaching an actual conclusion, due to being so overtly dismissive. Henceforth it leaves behind this unnecessary gap, a cockblock of sorts if you will, between any mutual understanding as well as the actual willingness to be open-minded and help both sides improve. It's a very close-minded thing to just casually turn off any counter-criticism or criticism without giving it close analysis, sometimes with a few other eyes to look at it.

A lot of college professors I've talked to about it said that saying this statement is just a lazy attempt at moving on, and that it's a very common mistake out there for people to use this. Henceforth why I'm getting into the logistics.

If you think that was hostile bruv, I could easily do a helluva lot more and use so many more insults that a drill sarge would be envious. However, there are no fucks in a 69 mile radius of my current location. In reality, that is just simply you refusing to read past the first sentence, because you know you're wrong on this.

You ALSO don't need to come back half a week later just to stir that pot back up. Let it die~

And you're absolutely correct about that as are your tutors. In general. Sometimes though a common ground or conclusion cannot be reached, especially in situations when it comes down to personal taste. That's why I gave that example with the beverages.

I would go as far and say it's better to save ones energy and not even start an argument about such things in the first place.

Well, I would. But what if my partner in that conversation would try to and continue pushing their view on their personal preference on me? Then I would reject them kindly. As best to my ability, that is.

Might I ask? What do your professors say on how to deal with rejection? Do they advise you to push the subject in such cases or what is their point of view?


Oh, I should mention that: I didn't actually bother reading what the core argument is actually about. Skimmed through that a bit and saw that it was already derailed enough from the original post before deciding that I don't want to take part in it. I just took offense with you talking bad about that phrase.

 

[A1teros]

I dislike that the option on the 1 button for Reaha's wake up event is such a strong 'fuck off'. I actually wouldn't normally choose fuck off at all but if I'm rushing through sleep I might end up pressing it by accident and then feel bad enough that I have to reload a save. I'm surprised that's not a more tame option especially if your Steele has a kind personality.

oh it got moved to the 2 button, that's helpful, still think it's too strong though

The beverages thing was an interesting example. It's hard not to really say the phrase there, as that moreover comes to actually subjective standpoints, as taste is genuinely subjective, henceforth the phrasing has more use there. This can't be used for logical arguments in the first place however, unless it specifically relates towards the objectivity of the argument. To go back on the beverages there, one could say that OJ would be objectively better if you don't have a strong immune system and lack potassium, as both are highly prevalent in such a drink. Meanwhile if you're low on Calcium or B12, milk is obviously the superior option, as without B12 you are quite literally weak on all fronts, and Calcium helps with bone strength.

My professors would say in the case event of rejection in favor of a mutual, very beneficial circumstance, just simply let the consequences of that not being achieved happen and leave with grace. A good, educated & contributing Samaritan would not be forced to care if a person doesn't see the innate value or extended possibilities of an action that can be taken, and so if the person has nothing but insults, threats & slander to sling, you're on the high ground there, and don't have any need to say more. I just had the need to say more, because asserting dominance over those with main character syndrome is what I like to do on my free time, and I was a bit lackadaisical in my response.

However, I don't think a thread in regards to voicing concerns and criticisms towards TITS is the place to be going in-depth about all this, so maybe in PMs I could go in-depth about how to properly analyze, critique, and respond to stuff...

 

[A1teros]

Unless this is a bug, Minuet does not have her dress art anymore in the JS version, big downgrade.

 

[A1teros]

Also dealing with ships feels worse, I can't see the ship stats as easily, I can't see the energy consumption of weapons in the shop menus.

I don't even wanna talk to you anymore. Could it be that your professors are actually your therapists?

Touch grass, creep.

YOU ALSO don't need to come back AFTER I JUST SAID stop stirring the pot to continue stirring the pot.

Next person gets a ban.

 

[Oh Philomena]

This is a very personal preference thing, but sometimes the very exaggerated proportions in the character art totally stop me in my tracks and make it impossible for me to see a particular thing as sexy. It's one thing to read a dick being described as big (I can get into that!) and another to see it looking like a medieval battering ram made of squishy, squishy meat. The second option is just so funny and horrifying that the eroticism leaves the chat.

But I know that hyper proportions are a big part of these games' appeal and have been for a very long time, so it's not a bad thing? It's just a thing that subjectively turns me off if I focus on it too hard.

Okay so let me make a more concise post in regard to my gripe
Regardless of how OTHER PEOPLE may THINK I believe that the amount of pregnancy content is more favorable to characters that are herm/female.

I understand the game was originally made to not be a CoC I clone, but at this point, I would like to see some more characters receive the content. Not immediately but maybe down the road as part of a character xpac, like Kiro. At least for characters that the PC maybe more involved in and more goblini/milodan NPC/Companion content, maybe capture the Chemist or the Merc? I like Mitzi but if you are trying to go for a low-corruption playthrough it would be nice to have an alternative. I would like to see the character Torra to make a return as a recruitable NPC at some point.

I would also like there to be an option to give the treatment/feminize/bro companions and certain other NPC's like Lund, Kase, Eitan (I know he isn't really a broken character but this is just a spitball idea), Vark. Lund, Kase, and Vark would make an excellent choice for having a feminization it. There is always Anno, Ramis, Eitan, and Yammi for an interesting suggestion to bro.

I am just throwing these ideas out there for consideration.
I am throwing these ideas and my gripe out there for consideration not debate or to argue. @Savin I am just trying to remake my post so it's not framed in a manner that will cause issues and I hope it is not taken as such. I do not want to argue or debate, on this. This is my own view and it's not a manner of right or wrong it is an opinion and I don't think I need to remind people of what opinions are like.

 

[Savin]

Now that's what the What Would You Like thread is for, but sure.

 

[Pink Serenity]

There are a few more entries in the Sires category than in the Bearers category when you check the wiki, that's true (don't know how up to date that is). I noticed something else when I did that though.

I'm gonna list all non-generic Sires and Bearers that you can meet indefinitely, are on friendly terms with and where the interaction can be more than just sex (looking at you, Stella). Since I haven't met all of them I can't speak from personal experience, but I trust the wiki there:

Bearers:

• Aina
• Amber
• Ellie
• Haley
• Mirrin*
• Quaelle*
• Quinn
• Roxy*
• Sera
• Ula
• Valrynn (Frostwyrm)

Sires:

• Amber
• Dreghan*
• Haley
• Mirrin*
• Quaelle*
• Renvra
• Riya*
• Sera
• Shekka
• Valrynn (Frostwyrm)
• Vark*
• Zephyr

Characters with an asterik are not an option for taurs, be it simply pregnancy or all (sexual) interaction.

The curious thing is that there are only two male sires (both being unavailable to taurs) and no bearers at all. Though the latter is probably not that surprising, considering the only male characters in the game that possess a vagina are Alex and Yoma. But now it also makes sense that people want Vahn to give them puppies in the pregnancy wishes thread.

Anyway, this was more of an analysis in reaction to the entire pregnancy thing, maybe somebody here enjoys that and finds it insightful.

Kase being feminized doesn't sit right with me, he seems perfectly happy as a submissive femboy. Bimbo/Bro content isn't appealing to me at all, there is a large enough audience for it I guess, but Bimbo/Bro is immediately the Corrupt path in this game. Mitzi could have more content I guess, but to break the minds of like half your crewmates seems pretty evil.

 

[Pink Serenity]

Well, being able to wouldn't really hurt. I'm not into it myself though. Still waiting for the Amber cure route. Mitzi will probably never get one, unfortunately.

 

[CboyC95]

There's no way to top Malai?

No I know, it just seems kind of fucked up to corrupt your crewmates unwillingly; I guess some of them would be into it, like Penny. It would definitely be a huge gain towards the Hard personality.

Mitzi is adorable, but I wish there was a way to help her, yeah. And I didn't realize there is a cure route for Amber in the works? Any word on this?

I agree with everything you said.

And I didn't realize there is a cure route for Amber in the works? Any word on this?

As far as I know, it was planned, or at least severly hinted at. But...

Since her writer Wsan isn't working on TiTS anymore, someone else would have to pick up that plotline, and I haven't seen any indication of that happening.

I'm kinda interested, but at the same time, I first need to finally finish my own event, and college is stressful enough.

 

[buttdoer]

It seems like there hasn't been a man added, that was also attracted to men, who aren't femboys, in well over a year. That includes enemies and NPCs. And then there are several Masc men, in a game with a pretty small number of repeatable scenes with masc men, that are not attracted to other men at all, which is very sad and feels like there are very few options at the end of the day. Ciaran comes to mind.
IK the game is supposed to focus on herms, mostly, but the lack of options and then locking out some options is really really unfortunate, imo.

Additionally, male herms exist as well. Well, one. Alex. Can we please have more?

I mean that is true, though you don't get an evil deal when you do it to Penny. Who seems to enjoy it and alludes that they may enjoy it if you turn the tables on Badger.
But the list was just potential candidates that could have content made for them, just like how the dominatrix Bimbo Siegewulf is 100% Optional this would be too.
I would just like to see the option to modify my crew to my own preferences while offering content that is counter to my own tastes for those that want something different if any of that makes sense.

I will still say I wish we had the option to recruit the Temptress from the Korgii hold over Eitan or Torra the Mildoan scientist. Again this is my own personal take and not a line-in-the-sand type of deal.

 

[CboyC95]

Why is the level cap still at 10 especially now when we're encountering enemies that are a level or two above us? That's just unfair.

 

[Theron]

I know I’ve consistently overestimated my ability to get this stuff into game, but it’s finally feeling close. And the holidays are over. And the old cranium actually feels like it’s working well this week for a change. It’s actually been great practice for working through how to convert attacks that are written to only hit the PC into code that can gracefully handle striking other targets… like deployable turrets. I still have a TON of NPC encounters to page through and bring up to par if proper, deployable drones with full stat blocks are to be supported. (Coming soon to a level 12 Tech Specialist near you.)

 

[곰 ⋮⋮ ɮɨɢ ʍǟռ ™°]

I wouldn't say that this is a gripe and is more of a 'why can't this be in the game rn?' type of deal; I was always confused as to how the PC can't get toys apart from dildo's and some other stuff. Like man, I really wish we could be able to buy butt plugs too instead of just having other Npc's and such have them. Also, I don't really count the under garments that keeps the PC cumflated but like...come on, let my character have their assortment of toys that I totally do not hoard on their ship because I am TOTALLY NOT A HOREDER.

Probably because the current design of sex toys is stuff you use temporarily and then put away, not something you use on a continual basis.

Also, I don't really count the under garments that keeps the PC cumflated but like...

Do you count the Hardlight Thong? It can project a dildo into your butt/vagina indefinitely.

[CboyC95]

Why are Mercenary and Smuggler still Level 10?

 

[Tide Hunter]

Why are Mercenary and Smuggler still Level 10?

Isn't tech still also restricted to level 10? The patch notes from January 12 mentioned that level 12 tech specialists would be getting a turret ability, but no patch since that has said, whether in the heading or the notes, that the level cap for any class actually has been raised.

 

[veganbuilder]

I haven't played for sooooo long but how come the map isn't fully visible from the start anymore? The best part of going to a new place was seeing just how much stuff you had to explore (my opinion)!

 

[곰 ⋮⋮ ɮɨɢ ʍǟռ ™°]

Oh, one other thing that I want to say; I wish there was more hat options instead of just the Fedora and the Helm of Terror (or horror, I forgot). Like, I would get on my knees and beg for a Officer hat like what the Myr wear to match with the Greatcoat or at least some fashion similar to it. I also guess I wish people can wear more than just 1 Accessory

I do know that that could be a bit iffy really quick but I wish to dream
