well we all have different ways of playing. Artist intended audience versus actual audience. I mostly play to see how big my character gets, and loosing all the process is kinda annoying. I don’t save the game every time a day passes, my first save usually takes place 5-10 days in when I have enough batteries, Z-packs, and other items to continue my run.
I by no means save scum when I can’t ignore the slop in basement. I usually go with what the flow. However, I’ll say playing as Female B is slightly harder than A because B character doesn’t show signs of fatigue (like laying down). While of course I can just look down at the moodlet bars, it’s a consistency error.
