Yep, I can confirm the jerk club is now turning up on the Itch.io save when I talk to Bret, so glad that is now fixed
However, whilst I'm tempted to continue through chapter 3, I've just finished the first endless dungeon on the main planet life site and am just about to start in on the Broccoli empire.
I'm actually rather pleased with the fact that I took the time to go through the first endless dungeon prior to moving on.
So as I'm this far through my second playthrough, I might as well continue. It's nice to see everything again anyway, and will make chapter 3 nicer as a conclusion I think.
I'll report back when I'm further along.
