Sample renders look good, story looks potentially interesting, and I think I was watching it at the other place (though not here for some reason), but the "voiced" tag worries me.

I played one VN that added voices part way through and I turned them off because they were too different from those I had already imagined in my head (I recall one of the 20-something LIs sounded like she had been smoking four packs a day during forty years of giving truck stop blow jobs, while the MILF sounded like a JAV school girl that had inhaled helium), and I've been hesitant to deliberately try another since.

What's your assessment so far? Is the voice acting good? Enough differentiation? Do the voices seem to "fit" the characters? Or is it the kind of thing that makes 70s and 80s "three words and fuck" pornos sound sophisticated?

The voicework comes in the form of animated cutscenes at key points in the story.

The voicework is good for amateurs. It was, however, a bit jarring when the voices in my head didn't match the characters.

My biggest criticism with the voicework is that the girls all end up sounding nearly identical because they keep trying to do the "sexy important woman" voice, rather than pick an identity and stick with it. Combined with the fact that it's a bunch of amateur creators, not proper actors, you get that "voice doesn't match the scene/moment" issue quite a bit.

That said, the voicework isn't bad - I'd even go so far as to say it's actually pretty good considering.

You can disable the voiced cutscenes entirely and play it as a pure AVN, though the cutscenes sometimes add to the moment. You won't miss anything if you skip them, but sometimes they do accent a scene. There's a particularly emotional scene in which two of the characters speak in a very somber and touching way and if you skip the voiced scene, the moment doesn't hit quite as hard. The voice acting done there improves the scene in my opinion.

TLDR - It's optional. you can skip/disable it entirely. Voices are good for amateur work, but are noticeably amateurs. Overall an improvement to the experience but is a bit jarring at first.

(The game itself is amazing. A very solid 9/10 to me and my wife, combining humor, sci-fi, wholesome, and fun. Not one of our favorites, but it comes close. Much closer than either of us expected.)

Love Rogue. Also love Cat Woman and Spider-Gwen off the top of my head. I also love dill pickles.

Very few. Looks like you put Guardians 2 in top 5, but I personally liked 1 better. Also like I said I really liked Shang Chi, I think it's high A-tier for me.

To be fair, it's been a few years since I've seen Shang Chi and I can't remember it well. Could bump it up when I rewatch it. And I personally like GotG 2 over 1 because the found family messaging is great and resonates strongly with me. Both are great movies, but a top 5 can only have 5 movies in it (both were in it before I got to Black Panther and Infinity War).

That sounds amazing (and glad to hear you’ll still be around!) I’ve never been to a film festival but always wanted to go.

Have you been to one before? If so what are they like?

I go to TIFF, pretty often, I have a house in Toronto. It's nice being able to see movies early and potentially meet Actors, Celebrities, and Director's. I watched The Brutalitist at TIFF last year, which I thought was really good. I met Zoe Saldana, and a few other people, I wanted to meet Selena Gomez, but she was swarmed non-stop, so I didn't get the chance. I mostly remember that she looked really good, and for some reason the venue was incredibly hot, so I felt sweaty the whole time. I remember getting deodorant spray, and showering like 3 times a day.

This is the first time I've been official invited to Cannes, but I have done 3 Days at Cannes a few times.

I'm often in Burbank, the other surrounding areas of LA, Vancouver, and Toronto. So, I meet quite a few famous people. If I had to say Film Festivals feel very organized, while they're sort of fun, it feels more conference-like than an actual convention. It's hard to explain. I've been to BIFF, TIFF, and Cannes, but haven't gone to Venice Film Festival, and only went to Sundance once.

Nice list! I've seen everything except The Marvels, Ms Marvel, Antman 3 and a few of the What if? episodes. I agree with you except I'd put Winter Soldier in my Top 5 instead of either Dr. Strange or Black Panther.

I've been to TIFF a few times, but I haven't been in a number of years. It was quite fun to experience. Got to see Robin Williams introduce Jacob the Liar, I'll never forget that.

I thought we had an understanding, Conzi.

Your antics never involve my family.

Apologize to my kitten, or I'll serve you an Italian special: Spaghetti with your own meatballs, Swede.

You don't need to apologize publicly but if I don't hear from Kaity that you've apologized, we're going to have a problem.

Evening everyone. I hope everyone is well.
