    Empty Hand does literally nothing except represent "I choose not to choose" for bindings. That's its actual role as designed. Come to the official discord and ask for 3 and 4.

    Sounds like you're using the old unofficial interactive. First thing, you'll want to update your favorites to the official one. The old stamp is gone. Mystic Tattoo completely replaced it. Shroud has the newer perk Dancing on Threads. Hypnosis App was replaced with the new Tormentor's Toolbox...

    Cowgirl position, cowgirl (western, yee-haw), and cowgirl (cow ears, cow tail) are all different, yeah. Even hucow has different implications than the ears and tail one.

    I haven't played Age 3 in 20 years. I like the setting, but as far as the game goes, I stopped playing Age 3 around when I discovered Rise of Nations, and then Anno 1404 and Europa Universalis 3 a couple years later.

    That was just Kraid. He's been a recurring boss since the very first game.

    I was looking for a better third example (I knew Spiderweb from the Geneforge games and didn't know about Epic's origins before I started that post) and couldn't think of one.

    The difference between the 80s and now is that shareware was used by indie developers (ex. Spiderweb, id, even Epic when they were just starting) to pay the bills while building a userbase. The intent drastically changes when a major studio does it instead.

    Patrons were never in "the main doc" in the first place. The first interactive was never official and its inclusion of patrons was always a sticking point. IIRC Chibi-Reaper stories that seem to use WC are mostly actually CFE in practice, though I haven't bothered to read one in... perhaps ever.

    Probably just linguistic corruption. Actually looking at the tag, most of its entries are also tagged with the specific CYOA used, and it's not always WC. I would merge it into "r34 economy".

    Slut Life is an unrelated CYOA from several years before Waifu Catalog was ever imagined as a thing. Rule 34 economy is the umbrella concept of a waifu picker CYOA. Waifu Catalog is a specific CYOA from the initial wave of waifu pickers that steadily grew into its own thing. Company Fucks...

    They don't actually have the coding for implied tags, unfortunately. But yes.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    "Rule 34 Economy" as a parent tag to "Waifu Catalog" is viable, because WC grew directly out of that initial scene. I was there, as you might be able to guess. But several individual fics that were actually WC were only tagged as "R34 Economy" (or related) and not "Waifu Catalog" (which they...

    A lot of "r34 cyoa" "r34 economy" "economy cyoa" etc. from Q1 and Q2 2020 will need to be merged into "waifu catalog" but that does not apply to the entire tag. Those were the early days, when there just wasn't a generally-agreed-upon tag in use for WC.

    (Partially) fixing the tag system

    Ideally, MGE would have two tags, one for fics that at least give lip service to the canon material's tone, and one for the grimdark western fanon. But even on QQ, even in the series's ideas thread which IIRC was created specifically to try to create some separation and cut down on this, the...
