Problems in Paradise (and V)
🕑 Added 2024-05-18 16:29:30 +0000 UTCThe beast is back home.
It arrived yesterday late afternoon and I mounted it this morning.
After doing some stress tests I continued the render queue where it stopped, They did not need to format the computer, so I can continue where it stopped when it broke down.
First surprise. The computer arrived with a hit in the back panel and the screws are bent. I took some pictures before finishing the unbox and sent them to the tech service (they don't work today). But the computer started, so I won't send the computer to the manufacturer again because of 3 bent screws even if they took responsibility for it.
Second surprise: Since the queue still had the latest renders done, it showed the time per render (3:50, 4:19, 4:15, 4:20 the last ones). The next render in the queue, Saira pic, took 6:36 plus the usual ~2-3 minutes loading time. The next ones, Saira blinking animation, 6:34 and 6:37. And so on, every render in the first 12 took between 6 and 8 minutes, and I was like "What??? It's 30-45% slower!!!"
I stopped the queue and queued the renders I had the times it took before the breakdown. *Relieved sigh* They lasted 3:51, 4:16, 4:16, and 4:21. So 1-3 seconds difference with the renders pre-breakdown, sometimes positive and sometimes negative, so I won't mind that negligible (0.4-1.2%) difference since it can be something from Daz.
The time increase in the first renders compared with the pre-breakdown is the girl in the pic. Saira's hairstyle is a GPU-hungry bitch compared with Erika's (the girl in the last renders). It's amazing, but it takes a lot to render.
So, after all those tests, I put TheBeast to render once again and it has been rendering for 4:34 minutes right now without any issue, so I decided to write this post to let you know I will continue from now on working as usual.
I have 1,815 renders posed and waiting to be rendered so, when the computer finishes the old queue, I will add them and wait for some days until it finishes them. Fortunately, not all of them have Saira as the protagonist, so some of them will take a lot less (and others a lot more because they are group pictures with Saira in them). I could imagine the computer looking at me with sad fans when I add the queue.
Thanks for your patience, advice, and support through these two weeks.

That's how I feel about them. It's like I've known them half of my life!

It's like they are your sisters, nieces, cousins, aunts or even grandmothers with a whole slew of friends or acquiantances

Some players said there are too many romanceable ladies but, right now, I couldn't remove any of them. I think every one of them offers something unique to the story. It's a lot of work? Yes. Does it make it a different game with a lot of LIs and every one of them optional? Also yes. I'm very happy with the cast.

By far this is the most romance options I've seen anywhere whether it's on Itchio or Steam. So I know it's a huge undertaking

Every girl will get her chance, but they are a lot. I need some time to build things up. Thanks for the praise! I didn't know about that channel. I've just added it to my playlist to check it in my next bus ride to work.

Ooh since some ladies have already been forward and made their claim on Mr Marks it's time other ladies get a chance. Btw are you familiar with Sex Positive Gaming on Youtube? I praised My Dorm on the comments of one of her videos

Eva and Amanda's story will take a step forward during the night out. Kiara's during the pool party.

The couriers are a needed evil ๐

You will be happy in this update. More than 1,500 renders of Saira (and that means a lot of animations, if you know what I mean ๐)

Glad for the Saira fans but I'm waiting for Eva, Kiara and Amanda time

If I were the MC I would have done it in the airport restrooms (adding Scarlett for their first threesome ๐คฃ). But the MC should give the players to know Saira better and see she wasn't the bitch she looked like during the video conference.

I'm Surprise He didn't Ravish her after she showed up, because of old time at the dorm ๐คค๐๐
