It turns out hardware-wise it’s just a 3rd-hand Kinect plugged into an Nvidia Jetson Nano doing very specialized audio and video processing. The energy collection is just an enchantment on the housing.
Uhhh, Dee doesn’t really do much these days either. They’re in the story because stories involve lots of people, not just the immediately consequential ones.
HA! I called Sarah and Noah being the wrong target audience for this gadget at the previous strip (although it wasn’t that hard to guess…) Now for future predictions (@Nortuet: erase this comment if it becomes a spoiler): Step 1: Noah rewires the gadget so it reports him and Sarah screwing 24/7. Step 2: They clean off all rewards thanks to this. Step 3: Tara & Beverly visit Noah & Sarah’s place, see all the rewards and a major misunderstanding evolves… 🙂
I’m still expecting this to end in tears, most likely with Bev and Tara utterly crashing the game’s economy by going at it 24/7 and driving the succubi into bankruptcy with the amount of prizes they owe.
Bev has this low-key prevalent sibling rivalry with her bro Dan. If she finds out he’s in this, too, I can see Bev going full rivalry. “Love, we must get that dining set. Take your clothes off.”
Poor Tara. Used so callously just to gain free kitchenware. 😀
If any of them host at-home an MLM party (multi-level marketing) event, they can get lots of points all together. “Come for the orgy; stay for the free prizes!”
I like how this implies that, presumably, the succubi have had some kinds of encounters with everyone featured here, so they’re all aware of the fact that magic exists. Or Tara and Bev let everyone know and they all believed it.

Noah absolutely has the right idea here. Who knows what this thing is actually doing. And it’s freaking magitek, of course you open that sucker up!

Sarah and Noah quickly becoming a new favorite couple after our girls
Noah
Is that just baby fat or is Penny pregnant again already?
Spazz
I thought the same thing
Striker2054
I think that’s post baby belly.
Ranb
Definitely baby fat as the baby is taking up so much of their time, that they “will never get the dining set”.
Michael Steamweed
But that coffee machine is certainly a worthy goal!
CoopThePanda
Either way, the stretchmarks are a nice touch. Liking the layer of reality.
Spazz
Dee is great
I hope we see more of her
TheCrazedSpruce
Did Bev and Tara get a referral bonus?
Marleonka
Ngl, I still dont understand why Colin and Alice are in the story when they only ever amount to background

Adeon
They are participating in Noah’s D&D campaign so presumably Bev and Tara hang out with them a decent amount even if it’s not all on-screen.
Ricketty
*i’m assuming* Russell: puts the OJ back, grabs a gatorade and some red bull.
Mk
I mean….it’s an honest mistake to outsiders to assume they’re smashing constantly
Rose
True, but everyone is shipping it and hoping they will start to smash officially. 😀
Kamino Neko
Especially if they know Sarah well, and only know Noah enough to see him making jokes about being a pervert.
SamSamWhabam
Much as I love Tara and Beverly’s story, I have to say I’ve missed the nudity and sexcapades in this comic.

Falkh
“just… HOW did you do this?!”
“It was super easy; Barely an inconvenience.!”
Michael Steamweed
Exactly what Sarah and Noah would like!
Ranb
Well, Sarah still pleasures herself, so that should be somewhat rewarding. Provided Noah does not break the machine while tinkering with it.
notStanley
Hope the witches are not ruined by success. What if people start qualifying for more swag than the company can afford :{
Michael Steamweed
I’m wondering what they do with that energy. Like, pay it forward to Hell? Invest it in horny dream manufacturing? Who knows?
Cam Serif
They probably turn it into over-the-counter aphrodisiacs.
Enif
Now I’m just hoping later on we’ll randomly see the same coffee maker in the background of different people’s houses.
Michael Steamweed
And then Nortuet won’t have to draw out the same device over and over, but can just do a rotate ‘n’ copy-paste. Genius!
(modern problems; modern solutions)
X Marcs the Spot
I feel like the succubi REALLY missed their window of opportunity to harvest a whole boatload of “fun time” energy from Sarah.
Michael Steamweed
Chaos Energy might be the purview of another demon department, not the succubi. Not sure which ones, though.
Witch of many jobs
They may be weird but sometimes the weird oens are the sane ones.
Satyr
Their decision making skills aren’t clouded by a haze of lust and greed! They’re too dangerous!
Privpi
Even though the first halloween special was how I found this comic, this really wasn’t the direction I expected this to take
Cobalt
Noah: Yeah I have no real use for this so I’m gonna take it apart to see how it works instead.
Michael Steamweed
“Hey! If this thing senses horny energy, maybe it can sense horny ghost energy! I can make a new ghost-hunting tool!”
Striker2054
Yet another canon blast to sink that ship.

All the warriors are showing up in this chapter lmao

Poor Tara. Used so callously just to gain free kitchenware. 😀
Dyamonde
used so callously? a few chapters back Tara literally asked Bev to objectify her more and initiate Sex more often. She’d be ecstatic!
Michael Steamweed
I know. I was attempting antiphrasis. Not commenting literally. 🙂
Danny B
Interesting. Does this imply that the witch has been trapping the other couples for years as well, off-screen?
Snacks
Wait a second this is a pyramid scheme
Scott
Finally, a definition of ‘sane’ that fits me. Thank you Noah.
Eath
Ha! That’s the swingers from the other Story line! Good for then they found another pair ^^
Also I really hope these two belly bumbs I spotted ate baby bumbs! Pregnant woman have they very own beauty from my sight.
Nasagi
Who are the 4 in the 3rd panel? I don’t recognize them
Michael Steamweed
A new couple; they’re not named in the tags. I’m guessing they’re the latest swingers couple that Alice and Colin have hooked up with.
Michael Steamweed
If any of them host at-home an MLM party (multi-level marketing) event, they can get lots of points all together. “Come for the orgy; stay for the free prizes!”
CSDX
So they ARE swingers.

Witch: “According to these readings, Noah and Sarah are dead of exhaustion.”
Thantos1991
Just imagine what would happen if there was a leaderboard…..
Goofy Goober Rock
Lmao imagine Sarah and Noah find a way to hijack the machine and get enough points for everything and everyone is just like “HOW??!”
Tarasaurus
Noah, you’re my favorite ace
