Okay, so the game is bad.  Not hilariously bad, just extremely boring.

Is there an easy way to take screenshots in case I can manage to turn it into an AAR?  Having to cut and paste into Paint seems like a hassle...

Steam overlay should have a hotkey (that you can re-bind).

Thanks for taking one for the team. Dating sims/visual novels seem to range from hilarious to hilariously bad to just plain bad.

Not enough gaol?

This'll be the punchline of the AAR (assuming I do it):

[spoiler]There's not enough of anything.  You're a secretary.  You run around making photocopies and writing reports (which real secretaries don't do, but whatever).  And that's it.  Who the hell thought a legal secretary game would be entertaining?!?[/spoiler]

I've been playing "Windward" a bit. Seems like a nice little game.

Many hours  online (SL) with this and the two follow-ons. A very subtle and detail game.

Is the Gold edition they are selling not complete?

I thought you were supposed to ignore the work and sleep with the lawyers. Lame.

Well the dating part is just plain creepy.  As you do more tasks for the lawyers, your relationship with them increases.  At some point you can then ask the lawyers out on dates. 

Now, I know offices romances happen.  But I'd like to think I can have a high opinion of my assistant without wanting to get into her pants.

Now there is some kind of mystery within the game.  Perhaps it gets more interesting at that point - I never got that far.

You clearly are doing lawyering wrong.

Crown prosecutor's office is covering up massive corruption in the World Curling Federation.

SFC was first out of the gate. The overall series improved with EAW/OP. IIRC EAW/OP was heavily fan influenced from the SFB crowd. Nothing wrong with SFC if you haven't played the others. This is computerized SFB and very subtle as far as tactics, energy management (very important), this is not arcade spaceship combat. Most SFB tactics transferred well. I.E "sabre dance" a Klink ship (maintaining speed 31, alternating disrupter banks, etc). GORN ANCHOR and so forth.

go to  http://www.9thfleet.com/opsstarfleetcommand.php then click on SFC2 library. That will give you a taste of these games. 

SFC Gold
Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Lyran, Hydran, and Gorn

SFC EAW
The above w/ Mirak (Kzinti), ISC, and more

SFC OP
Orion Pirates, X-Ships, and more.

Where does it put the screenshots?

When you close the game there should be a pop up window with them, and a button "View in folder" or something that takes you to the directory.

Otherwise it's cryptic. E.g. my City Skylines screenies are in D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\47007872\760\remote\255710\screenshots

It's a dating sim.
