Haha, I was going to mention that too Dei! We're friends and have the same lover. :S
Let's break up with him and run off into the sunset together!

What I would have liked to have been able to do was make a webpage and use javascript to dynamically change the picture depending on the location of the mouse pointer, so at the end of each day I could just take the 25 screenshots, upload them, and then you guys could peruse the data at your leisure. Didn't work out though, unfortunately.[DOUBLEPOST=1422903493,1422903342][/DOUBLEPOST]
Rod Sisters is the female equivalent. You've both banged the same dude, know it, and are still sistas.
True, it hasn't turned Piece of Shit/Unforgiveable, so you never know.
Hole Brothers means you've both had sex with the same girl (and know the other has), but are still bros.

I think they sound COMPLETELY anime.
I dunno....it kinda makes sense.
Yeah, I have to admit I haven't been as careful with using condoms as I should have been, though so far there haven't been any consequences.
Also, I think it funny that Gusto and Ronan are like, "Yup, we've both hit that and that's okay."

Well, consider the translations were generally done by the kind of people who play the game as intended without any irony or limitations whatsoever...
... (and speaking as a guy who has a HoleBro IRL...)
I don't have a HoleBro in real life, though her husband kind of wanted to be bros. It kind of weird'd me out. It's one thing to be friends with a guy, and learn that you've both been with the same woman. It's an entire other to not know the other guy at all, and have him say, "Well, since you're occasionally banging my wife, we should be friends."
I was real close to saying, "Dude, don't make this weirder than it has to be."

Nothing worse than a cuckold who wants to make it weird.
Well it'd be a lot worse if he got murderously violent about it. I just don't especially want to have anything to do with him.
My best friend and I were rod sisters. No threesome or anything, just one lying idiot and two girls who thought it was cool that their friends were friends. The guy thought we'd get pissed at each other once we figured out he was screwing us both, but instead we both got rid of him and became best friends.

Just as an aside, too, for anyone wondering, the sex portion of this game is really poorly done. There's very little "game" to it. There's no way to "win" or "fail" except on purpose - at least AG3 made you pay attention to facial and verbal cues to know when you were "hitting the spot" right... this game it's just a series of buttons that turn you into a low budget porn director. "Ok, now I want to see him on top. Ok, now I want to see her on all fours. Ok, now have an orgasm" Seriously, there's nothing to stop you from mashing the orgasm button over and over and over again other than your own ennui. And if you think the models in the game look a little silly now (especially the boobs), you ain't seen nothing until they're unleashed from their cotton prisons.
Also I left an entire section out of character creation that wasn't PG-13 that had to do with sex "preferences," but now having played this far, I can see that those preferences are largely irrelevant. All they really do is set prereqs for going into ahegao. They have no bearing on satisfaction or compatibility.

Actually, because I didn't create any preferences, you're all incapable of ahegao.
Well, I guess I could always go back and edit that.. and I don't even know if the guys HAVE ahegao faces, come to think of it.
Anyway, that'd be a lot of freakin work, and this project is already a huge enough time sink as it is
Why did I go look that up? smh

To save the delicate sensibilities of anyone else who doesn't know what "ahegao" is and is considering googling it, it's a fairly recent hentai fetish thing, where a character orgasms so hard/so much that they go full derp, their eyes rolling back, their jaw going slack, and their tongue dangling out like a panting animal. IE, they've been "fucked silly."

WIP on the Halforums Academy school seal, hopefully one day suitable for t-shirts.
Gonna put the Halforums DURR face going Ahe Gao in the upper right quadrant there, then put some latin in the scroll.. we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping figmentPez can provide me the vector file of the durr face, or at least a very high resolution jpg for me to edit.

First person with a RL picture is AmE... And beyond that, the first page is mostly cosplay, Supervillanous, and an amazing amount of faux infographs about soccer vs football? huh?
....And scrollign down further ,I somehow end up with a picture wirth the caption 'I am sexually attracted to Twilight Sparkle". Well, that was something I didn't particularly needed to have in my search history or cache.
First one I see is myself, in my proto-Riddler costume from Halloween 2010, followed by North Ranger's MC Hamm Sammich.
First avatars I see are Gasbandit's followed immediately by mine.[DOUBLEPOST=1423052391,1423052285][/DOUBLEPOST]And also for some reason a lot of my old shitty drawings from deviantart are on that page...
I'm liking where this is heading, but I hope we can streamline it a bit more if we're going to put it on a t-shirt. As a mock-up, I like the concept.

I was hoping to find something more line-art-ish for the sucker punch rather than photographic... but it's hard to find something so specific. If anybody can find something better, or know somebody who does that kind of artwork, it'd be helpful. Also, yeah, gonna get a smoother shield graphic, too. And I'm not sure I'm sold on the greyscale/red blood idea either.

And the redditors have spoken - looks like the latin phrase is "Audio non bonos facere." Or possibly gerere, haven't made up my mind yet on the subtle implications.
My Latin is rusty, but I don't think that is the right translation.
Cui dubium est quod audio. might be more literal.

Near as I could decode, "Audio non bonos gerere" comes out to "I hear (they) not good conduct." Which, admittedly, sounds pidgin, but what do you think it should be?

I got in touch with my local University's Latin professor, and she says none of the above work. She's kind of busy, but she says she'll give it some thought and get back to me.
Meanwhile, help me find some better art for the sucker punch, you guys. I know @Gusto and @LittleKagsin dabble in art, maybe either would want to take a crack at it. I'm thinking simple line art with no really defined features - not quite as rudimentary as XKCD or Happiness and Cyanide, but something clean and recognizable as human shapes.

I could take a stab at it, as long as you don't need it in a timely fashion.
