Thanksgiving in this game starts with a talking turkey giving you attitude and somehow ends with you getting a titjob from a sorceress milf who could probably crush your skull with her thighs. The whole thing feels like the dev woke up, opened three tabs of Disney porn, some World of Warcraft fanart, one Skullgirls subreddit thread, and said: “Yes. This. All of this.” You play as this smug, cocky magic adventurer who is supposed to help with a magical feast, but you immediately stop caring about food the moment you realize literally every woman in Enchantia has breasts that look like they were designed by a teenage boy with too much free time and a DeviantArt account. One second you are trying to collect ingredients, next second you are getting groped by a drunk fairy who thinks your dick is a magic wand and keeps “testing its charges” while you pretend to be offended and still click every dialogue option that clearly leads to handjob territory.

The cast is just pure fanservice soup and my horny brain did not complain. You bump into a draenei-style priestess with glowing eyes and a holy staff, and let me tell you, that staff is not the only thing that gets blessed. There is a milf innkeeper who has big aunt Cass energy, like if Aunt Cass and Dexters Mom had a crossover episode where the moral lesson is “learn to share your cock.” The game keeps tossing references at you: a snarky shadow girl with Midna vibes who bends over the table a lot, a pale demon nymph with skull-themed accessories that really scream Skullgirls, a ninja chick that lowkey feels like she escaped from a League of Legends splash art and said “ok, where is the nearest dick.” None of this is subtle, but subtlety is illegal here anyway. The art is animated, pretty lively, and sometimes the faces look a little cursed in motion, yet when she is riding you and her tits are bouncing in rhythm, you suddenly forgive every weird frame like a simp.

Actual gameplay is this weird mix of sandbox wandering, point and click scenes, and these goofy turn based combat bits where you either smack goblins around or get clothes torn off your party members. You cast a spell, you take a hit, her armor rips, you pretend you are trying to win but secretly take one extra turn just to see more skin. The sex scenes themselves ramp up from teasing to full filth pretty fast; one fairy spends three dialogue boxes just edging you with hand stuff and dirty talk, then suddenly she is on her knees, drooling over your shaft, and you are choosing between oral finish, titfuck, or going straight to vaginal while she uses a glowing crystal toy on herself. There is this one scene with a “helpful” older witch, total milf with thick hips, where she offers you a “fertility blessing” and it turns into anal on a wooden chair while she keeps scolding you like a strict aunt, and honestly, that did things to me I am not proud of. The only thing that annoyed me was one tiny text bubble spelling “voyerism” during a scene where you watch two monster girls go at it behind a magic mirror, and now my brain repeats that word every time I open Twitter, but whatever. By the time you are juggling fairies, demon girls, and one princess type who looks suspiciously like she escaped from a Frozen parody and wants to “warm your stuffing,” you will completely forget you were supposed to be helping with a Thanksgiving dinner at all, which, honestly, is the most realistic thing in the whole game.

Wentford sounds like one of those fancy campuses from Netflix, but this game makes it feel more like Pornhub wrote a teen drama and forgot to stop. You play this chemistry nerd who gets blasted by a “whoops” experiment and suddenly your body, your dick, your relationships, everything is out of control. Not in a subtle way either. One scene you’re just stressing over an exam, next scene you’re waking up with a throbbing futa cock, tits that don’t fit in your old hoodie, and a roommate staring way too long before pretending she’s just “worried about you.” Sure, she is. Classes keep going like normal, but you’re trying to hide a bulge that’s screaming for attention while your lab partner keeps dropping things and bending over. The whole school is basically one long slow jerk session that keeps getting rudely interrupted by actual plot. I kinda liked that. It pretends to care about romance and friendship, while shoving you into situations where you “accidentally” walk in on someone masturbating in the dorm showers, or catch the MILF chemistry professor grading papers with her blouse wide open and no bra. Totally realistic, obviously.

The game loves voyeur crap. Windows left open in the girls’ dorm, bathroom doors not fully closed, phone screens left unlocked with homemade porn clips of classmates doing anal on some gym dude. At some point you’re not even surprised when you click a dialog option that sounds innocent and it suddenly turns into a titfuck in the library stacks, with books literally falling off the shelf while she’s bouncing on you. It’s animated enough that the jiggle and thrusts sell the scene, but not so polished it feels sterile. Some angles are a bit awkward, like that one footjob where her toes look like they belong in an Ikea catalog, but you’re too busy watching your character blow a load all over them to care much. And then they drop a joke in the middle of a creampie scene, like the girl panting, “You better not knock me up, my mom would kill me,” while the text right under literally says she’s clenching to milk every last drop. That mix of horny and dumb humor works weirdly well. Sometimes the dialogue sounds like it came from someone who copied WhatsApp chats into the script and forgot to edit, but that actually gives it a kind of messy charm, like a horny student film with more budget put into cum physics than anything else. The corruption angle is there too: shy lesbians getting tempted, innocent best friend “just helping you out” with a handjob after class, a supposedly committed partner sneaking you into her bed while her boyfriend is on Facetime in the background. It’s romantic, then dirty, then kind of wrong, then hot again. Very much like browsing incognito tabs when you swore you’d just check email.

You know that feeling when a VN clearly started as some horny joke idea in a Discord call, then somehow grew into a full story with way too many feelings? Secrets in Focus is exactly that problem. On the surface it is all boobs, asses and stupid banter, then suddenly you are actually worried about a missing girl while a milf with ridiculous tits is pressing herself on your character in the office break room and you are trying to remember if you saved before choosing the blowjob option. The game drops you into this cramped apartment with Ember, your stepsister, who has that mix of “I insult you because I like you” and “I am 2 seconds away from climbing on your lap”. She throws verbal knives all day, but the way she walks around in shorts that could legally count as a belt is another kind of knife. The writing lets her be a bitch and also weirdly soft in some scenes, like when she falls asleep half on top of you after talking trash for ten minutes. It should be annoying. It is not. Or maybe it is. Hard to tell when you are staring at her ass.

The workplace stuff is where the game gets more messy in a good way and in a bad way. You land a job at a model agency as a systems engineer, which is basically an excuse to be surrounded by women whose bodies look like the AI prompt was just “hentai but thiccer”. Huge tits that barely stay in lingerie, big asses framed by office skirts so tight they look painted on, that one older model who is pure milf fantasy and calls you “kiddo” while clearly eyeing your crotch. There is a very stupid hallway scene where you are trying to carry some hardware for the server room and a model with cartoon-level boobs bumps into you. Your character gets basically smothered, the camera zooms in like a horny YouTube thumbnail, and she apologizes in this goofy, flirty way that makes no physical sense. I laughed and still clicked every pervy option. At the same time the AI cg sometimes goes a bit uncanny. You will have a gorgeous shot, soft skin, perfect curves, then on the next click her fingers melt into the pillow or some strand of hair looks like plastic. It does not ruin the mood, but it pokes your brain enough that you notice. You can see where the dev just went “fuck it, this is good enough, people are here to jerk off, not to inspect hands”. They are right and also wrong.

Somewhere under all this horny chaos there is the mystery about Mara, the missing model. The game keeps dropping hints during otherwise filthy or silly scenes. Like you are in a late-night office scene with one of the milfs, she leans over, tits spilling out, asking you to “help her with some data”, and behind her there is a poster with Mara’s face partly torn off. Or Ember is roasting you on the couch, calling you a perv, then her expression changes when the news mention Mara and you can feel there is something she is not telling you. It is strange because the humor is very loud, very internet-brain, with meme-y lines and horny jokes, but the mystery is quiet and actually kind of serious. The routes branch in small ways. Sometimes a choice is just “do you stare at her tits or pretend to be polite”, sometimes it locks you out of seeing a spicy shower scene later. I got stuck worrying if picking the anal scene with one character would mess up a more emotional moment with another, which is a very modern erotic VN problem. The pacing jumps around, too. You can go from a warm, intimate chat about feeling lonely in a new city straight into pounding a big-ass model across her desk while the half-finished code project is still open on her monitor. It should feel whiplash-y. Instead it feels like what happens when erotic fiction accidentally grows a plot and no one has the courage to cut the sex. Which, in this case, is perfect. Or completely wrong. I still kept clicking.

It’s weird how a game about going back to college can feel heavier than most so-called “serious” dramas, and still make me blush like a teenager. The man you play - older, worn in the way people get when they’ve worked too many years for others - doesn’t fit neatly into that campus energy. Everyone’s young, bright-eyed, too eager; he’s slow, watching, pretending he’s not turned on by the way life keeps surprising him. The twins show up early on, awkward at first, then laughing too easily, then not laughing at all when they start leaning in too close. It’s not just sex that happens - it’s that messy, half-guilty longing for warmth in places that should stay professional. And yeah, maybe I liked that it didn’t lecture me about it. The game lets things breathe, even when it’s panting.

I kept noticing how the mother - the so-called “responsible adult” - looks more alive than anyone else in the story. She’s not just a MILF caricature, even though the art absolutely knows what it’s doing when she bends to pick something up. There’s one scene where she’s doing something completely ordinary, wiping a counter, and I swear the camera angle felt almost too intimate. I thought I was imagining it, then realized it was intentional. But then again, maybe that’s my mind making excuses. The pacing drags a bit around the midpoint, like it forgets what tone it wants - sweet or filthy - but somehow that confusion feels right. College life isn’t clean structure either. I actually got annoyed at one of the dialogue loops; it repeated the same teasing line twice, and I couldn’t tell if that was a bug or just the AI trying to flirt.

Anyway, halfway through, I stopped thinking about the “game” part. The twins’ dorm smells like cheap perfume and ambition; you can almost feel the warmth of their skin through the screen. Then suddenly the story turns soft again, almost sad, like it wants to apologize for turning you on. It never does, though. And maybe that’s why it lingers after you close it - the quiet guilt of wanting something you probably shouldn’t, wrapped inside a world that pretends it’s just homework.

The whole thing starts in this very unglamorous way: your life is kind of shit, the app you poured your soul into got snatched by hackers, and instead of going full revenge fantasy, the guy just runs back to his hometown like a dog with his tail between his legs. It sounds pathetic, but it works, because the game leans really hard into that “I hit rock bottom, now I’m gonna fuck my way back to the top” energy. You’re this male protagonist who looks more like a dude who spent years on GitHub than in a gym, but somehow every woman in Roots either wants to fix you, own you, or ruin you. Sometimes all three in one scene. One moment it feels like romance, with these slow, kind of sweet dates, where you’re checking messages on your phone like a bored kid and then she suddenly hints at what she does when she’s alone at night. And then later that same girl has your face between her thighs, soaking your mouth while you’re thinking about XP gains and whether you picked the right dialogue option. It’s stupid. And it works. The sex never pretends to be classy: there are messy blowjobs where she gags and mascara smears, lazy handjobs on a couch where your pants are only halfway off because “it’s just a quick one,” tits wrapped around your cock while she looks up with this fake innocent expression and then slips into full ahegao when you shoot hot cum all over those big boobs. There’s a scene where you wake up with morning wood and a girl sitting at the edge of your bed just staring at the tent in your shorts, pretending she’s not. Ten seconds later she’s palming it through the fabric and murmuring something about “helping you relax” while you’re desperately trying not to nut too fast because you know the game is tracking this stuff in the background. Or at least it feels like it does. I liked how the sandbox side quietly encourages you to be a little creep. You wander around, poke into places, and suddenly you’re peeking through half-open doors, watching someone grind on a pillow, panties pushed aside while she rubs her clit, or spying a girl in the shower and you can almost hear the dev whispering “go closer, you coward.” There’s this one voyeur moment where you watch a couple go from soft kissing to full-on raw fucking, her legs wrapped around his waist, her ass bouncing with every thrust, and you get this idiot choice: walk away like a gentleman or keep watching with your dick in your hand. Guess what everybody clicks. Sometimes the game acts like it wants to be wholesome: there are romantic arcs where you actually talk, tease, build tension before anything happens. You share secrets, you discuss your failure with that stolen app like it really hurt, and she comforts you, stroking your hair, then your chest, then your cock, then suddenly you’re balls deep inside her, her nails digging into your back while you grunt into her neck, pushing to that slow, sticky creampie that the camera just refuses to look away from. Then ten minutes later you’re in a completely different route being blackmailed by someone who found your private photos and now wants you to kneel, lick her feet, and beg. She presses her toes against your lips and only lets you fuck her when you’ve cleaned every inch. You feel like shit. And turned on. I’m still not over the first time the game really opens the door to the kinkier stuff, though. There’s a girl who looks soft and sweet on the surface, then you end up tied to a chair with your wrists bound, her riding your lap while holding a little toy against herself, moaning about how “your stupid face” turns her on. She slaps you when you talk too much, spits in your mouth, slams down on your dick until you’re shaking. Then later, that same character is all snuggly, dropping in your bed for a lazy night where she just lies on her stomach scrolling TikTok while you jerk off onto her back like it’s no big deal. The tonal whiplash is kind of charming. The group scenes hit different. Bodies tangle, tongues mix, you’re switching from pussy to ass and back again, someone’s lips wrapped around your shaft while another girl is grinding her slick slit on your thigh, using you like a living toy. There’s this ridiculous threesome where one girl sits on your face, dripping wet, while another one uses your cock like she’s racing a timer, slapping her own ass, telling you not to pull out, and when you finally lose control, you paint her insides, cum leaking out while she squeezes every last spasm from you. Meanwhile the one above you pushes her foot on your chest for balance and accidentally turns it into a tiny foot fetish moment that feels too real to be scripted. Oh, and the mobile side of it? Feels almost illegal how easy it is to sneak in a quick masturbation scene during a dead moment in a coffee shop. You’re there, pretending to answer Slack messages, when the game throws you a scene of a girl shoving a toy inside herself on cam, fucking herself on a chair, moaning your name like you’re actually there. Your thumb is flicking choices, trying to act cool while your brain is already halfway into the bathroom. It’s distracting in the best worst way. There’s a bit where a long-simmering tension finally explodes with you taking a “good girl” for the first time, her back arched, eyes wide, virgin pussy stretching around you, whimpers turning into sharp cries every time you push deeper. She keeps asking if it fits, if she’s doing okay. Then, a while later, she’s riding you with this wild grin, full ahegao, sweat dripping down her tits, asking for dick in her ass next because apparently character development means anal now. It barely makes sense, but in that horny logic, it makes perfect sense. The game loves big asses and big tits in a very blunt, almost rude way. The camera just plants itself right there on her bouncing cheeks while you slam into her from behind, your hand grabbing fat, jiggling flesh, red handprints from earlier spanking slowly fading. She yelps every time your palm connects again, then pushes her ass back harder, begging you not to stop. Sometimes you’re gentler, sliding in slowly, her tight hole swallowing your cock inch by inch, her fingers clawing at the sheets while she tries to relax. You hear that little gasp when you finally bottom out and she realizes you’re not pulling back. And yes, there’s incest drama tucked in the narrative like it’s some shameful secret and also the main course. Home feels very different when the people you grew up with are suddenly giving you long looks in the kitchen, brushing “accidentally” against your crotch, or walking around half naked, waiting for you to snap. One scene has you groping someone you really shouldn’t on the couch under a blanket while the TV is on, your fingers slipping under her panties, her biting her lip so the others in the room don’t hear. It’s filthy, and the game knows exactly what it’s doing with that. Funny thing is, some of the quiet moments are hotter than the big orgies. A girl sitting on your lap in a small room, casually grinding against your bulge while pretending to be interested in some small talk. Her whispering in your ear that she wants your cum inside, right now, that she doesn’t care where. You slide into her, raw, her pussy clutching you, and there’s this point-of-no-return feeling when you both know you’re not pulling out this time. Warm, wet, final. The romance, the corruption, the voyeur stuff, the toys, all of it kind of melts into this messy, horny hometown stew where you’re always one wrong choice away from getting blackmailed for life or buried in someone’s thighs. Roots is not subtle. It doesn’t try to be clever, but sometimes, in those messy, animated little loops of you thrusting into someone while she claws at you and moans with her tongue out, it hits very close to something that feels real. Or at least real enough that you’ll be palming your phone in one hand and your dick in the other, telling yourself “just one more scene” and never meaning it.

You’re this tired 37 year old fed in Boston who’s seen too much bullshit already, and the game doesn’t waste time pretending you’re some innocent boy. You’ve got a gun, a badge, and a dick that every camera angle worships like a separate character. You just pulled six girls out of some fucked up kidnapping case, everyone’s shaken, and the story acts like it cares about trauma and procedure but then suddenly you’ve got your partner pressed against a wall with her shirt half open and her breathing in your ear. It’s this weird mix of crime drama and “oh, right, we’re all horny here” that actually works better than it should. One second you’re talking about chain-of-custody, next second you’re thinking about how soft that detective’s tits looked when she leaned over the table.

The whole thing feels like one of those Netflix crime shows that decided to have a Pornhub brain. You’re constantly stuck between actually wanting to know who runs this creepy underground thing, and wanting the camera to zoom back down into some milf’s cleavage. The women around you are all very… curated. Big tits all over the place, dresses that magically forget how buttons work, that kind of thing. The older ones, especially, are a problem. There’s this one milf character who walks into a scene and the game just stops pretending anything else matters. She talks, but the only thing you notice is how her blouse is fighting for its life and how your “professional” agent is trying not to stare and completely failing. When the MC finally gets his hands on her, it’s not gentle. Full-on groping, fingers digging into her ass, tits spilling out, his cock pushing up against her thigh through his pants while she pretends to say “no, this is wrong” in that way that means “keep going”.

Sex scenes themselves are straight to the point and very visual, like the dev just wanted to show off every inch of that big cock and every jiggle of those big boobs. You don’t get much shy stuff here. When you finally slam into a character, you see everything, from how her lips stretch around you to how her body bounces on top of you when you let her ride. Some of the best bits are those half-public moments. Like interrogations that slowly turn into foreplay, your hand resting a little too high on a thigh, fingers sliding under a skirt while she’s still asking questions. Or when you’re supposed to be protecting someone and end up pinning her to the bed, her legs wrapped around your waist, big tits pressed against your chest while you pound her like the world outside doesn’t exist. It’s not subtle, but it really doesn’t try to be. Feels like something you’d open on your phone on the couch after a long day, forget to adjust the brightness, and suddenly you’re praying nobody looks over your shoulder when the milf you’re fucking starts moaning your name and clawing at your back.

Colonies drifting in deep space always look clean in movies, all chrome and white lights, everyone acting like boring saints. This game throws that in the trash pretty fast. You start on this huge ship hauling the last hope of humanity, but honestly it feels more like a floating horny neighborhood than some noble mission. Every corridor has its own mood: one room is serious sci‑fi talk about lost scouts and strange planets, the next room is some busty MILF officer casually hinting she can “relieve your stress” if you help her with a report. The whole thing leans into that mix of nerd fantasy and pure filth. One minute you’re checking stats and inventory, planning how to talk your way through an alien encounter, the next you’re buried between huge tits, getting a sloppy titfuck you didn’t exactly deserve but absolutely wanted. I was on my phone with Spotify lo‑fi playlists running in the background and it felt weirdly right, like doomscrolling Pornhub but with choices and dice rolls.

Sex scenes go hard when they want. There’s this one with a strict female officer that starts like a regular talking scene, she’s dressing you down for messing up a scout mission, then suddenly she’s got you sitting in her chair, stroking you slow with one glove still on, calling you “cadet” like it’s an insult. She makes you lick her fingers first, then uses your own frustration against you, riding your face and controlling every little movement, grinding that big ass on you until you’re almost begging. When she finally lets you fuck her, it’s not some soft romantic fade, she pushes you in deep, orders you to fill her and just keeps you locked there while she clenches around the creampie. It’s hot as hell, but what got me was that you actually feel the corruption side of it. Your stats tick up, your relationships shift a bit, and suddenly new dialogue opens later where she “owns” you in public scenes too. Feels dirty in a nice way. Not everything hits though. Some of the animated loops look a bit stiff on mobile, and the text pacing sometimes jumps from emotional romance talk to “suck my cock” in one click like the writer forgot a line. Also, the whole prostitution angle sneaks up on you: at some point you realize you’re basically pimping yourself out to aliens and crewmates for extra credits and influence, trading handjobs and oral for mission data, and nobody on the ship acts like that’s strange. There’s even this futa alien scientist with huge tits who treats you like a lab sample, slides her shaft between your thighs while explaining quantum nonsense, then finishes all over your stomach, completely calm, like it’s just another experiment. I liked that scene, even if the romance stuff around it feels half‑baked compared to others, but whatever. You can bounce between being the “good guy” colonist and the corrupted plaything of half the ship without the game judging you too hard, just quietly tracking your choices in the background while you’re busy stuffing another big ass on your lap.

Justice here is not some shiny word from superhero movie. It is petty, horny, mean and personal. You play this guy everybody called a killer, a ghost who comes back home after years of running, and the first thing that hits you is not forgiveness. It is the thought: “I’m going to fuck their lives so hard they won’t even know if they’re moaning or screaming.” The town looks normal, your family looks normal, all their lies stayed in place, only you changed. You carry this hot, ugly mix of rage and hunger. You want payback, but you also want every woman who looked away when you were destroyed kneeling in front of you, begging for more. And the game smiles at you and says: fine, choose how dirty your justice is. You can be the silent avenger who pretends to care, who kisses foreheads and then fucks them senseless when nobody is watching. Or you lean hard into cruelty, using romance like fishing line while you decide whose mouth gets stuffed, whose ass gets slapped red, who gets to keep their dignity and who ends up a dripping toy warming your bed out of fear and love at same time.

What sells it is how the power slowly flips. At first they talk down to you, like you are still the broken boy, still that virgin punching walls. Then you catch your “innocent” older relative half-dressed in the kitchen, bent over the counter, phone in hand, secretly sexting some guy that is not her husband. You choose: expose her, or just walk up behind, press her against the cold surface, fingers sliding under her panties while she tries not to say your name too loud. The game gives you these small, nasty moments where morality feels like old underwear you throw on the floor. The big-breasted women that used to protect you, scold you, treat you like child, can end up riding your cock until they creampie themselves on purpose, then blush like schoolgirls afterward. There is a weird sweetness in it too, which annoys me, because one second you are watching through a crack in the door as a girl sleeps, skirt pushed up, your hand rubbing as you decide if you will use her mouth or her thighs first, and the next second the story tries to talk about healing and mercy. Sure, you can choose gentler paths, real romance, even a kind of forgiveness where your harem feels more like a broken little family stuck together by cum and shared guilt. But every time some milf leans in with those huge tits pressing against your chest, promising “I’ll make it up to you”, you remember: this is not therapy. This is you taking everything they stole, plus interest, paid in handjobs, footjobs under the table, messy interracial scenes that would ruin their public image forever, and quiet moans in the dark when you decide that sleep is no excuse and her body already belongs to your version of justice.

This thing plays like someone smashed together a horny visual novel, occult fanfic, and a really mean porn meme folder, then went “yeah, good enough” and shipped it. You’re this dude who basically stumbles into a world where every dark ritual is either trying to eat your soul, sit on your face, or both. One moment you’re talking to some normal-looking goth milf with big tits, next scene she’s in full ritual cosplay, collar in hand, asking if you prefer to be her toy or her sacrifice. The game pretends you have a choice, too, which is cute. Click left: she makes you lick her boots. Click right: she makes you lick something way worse. And then it autosaves like it’s proud of you.

What I actually liked is how the monster girls are not just “oh look, she has horns and a tail.” Nah, these chicks feel properly wrong, in a fun way. One of them is this futa demon priestess that keeps switching between gentle “my sweet acolyte” voice and “shut up and open your mouth” energy, and the game just lets her do the oral scene while she’s explaining a blood ritual in the background like it’s a cooking tutorial. The animations are janky sometimes, like her hips clipping through the altar, but that somehow makes it hotter? I don’t know, my brain is broken. Then again, half of the sex toys look like they were made in a garage with black magic and a 3D printer, which is kinda cool, kinda cursed.

It calls itself a sandbox and yeah, kinda. You wander around this weird occult city, talk to witches, cult leaders, and one “slave trainer” milf who definitely enjoys humiliating you way more than the script admits. You grind some stats, unlock scenes, stalk the map for events, standard stuff. There was this one run where I pissed off the wrong domina and ended up chained to a wall while she invited a monster girl to “help with discipline.” That scene goes from big ass riding to graphic violence way faster than I expected, like the game suddenly remembers it’s a horror fantasy and not just a porn hub search result. Then later it makes you do boring fetch crap like you’re playing a normal mobile game, and I’m there, dick in hand, doing errands for a lady who literally used my ass as a ritual focus ten minutes earlier. The NTR bits are nasty too: watching a girl you kinda liked get bent over by some eldritch thing while your character just stands there, “learning his place,” is rough in the good way and also annoying as hell. Sometimes the female domination hits perfect, sometimes it feels like the dev just typed “lol he’s a loser” and called it a day. Still, when a milf in occult lingerie shoves a dildo in your mouth and tells you you’re lucky she’s not using the real thing, it’s hard to stay mad.
