VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [Dr PinkCake]

[zibidi]

I updated my game from 0.4.2 to 0.5.0 and continued from my past save, but when i found a new reward error screen comes up, i click ignore till to continue but in rewards app there is no new rewards. the given error is about there is no such file about reward. also it happens sometimes with people, when they will say something, another error comes through and i click few times ignore to continue but i can't see what they would say. Any thoughts?

I am not native English so sorry to my grammar mistakes.

This seems to be a common problem for some. Unfortunately it seems the only way to fix it is to download the full 0.5 version.

You need to have CHICK affinity, not status.

Firstly, yes, a lot of people do put their own feelings into this character and it's why we have several people who keep thinking there should be a "3rd option" to cut them off completely because that's what they want to do, but it's not what the MC wants to do. This has certainly contributed to a lot of the ill feelling towards M&J because rather than put themselves in the MC's shoes, people are putting their own shoes on the MC.

Also, as far as the in-game story timeframe is conecerned, I would also add that whilst it is 2 weeks for the MC, it's a lot longer for players because of the wait between updates, and that allows people to think a lot more about these characters and really get attached to them, so that likely also contributed to M&J hate as feelings will have deepened the more people thought about them making the ep 4 events hurt more.

However, I would disagree with a couple of points.

I don’t disagree with any of this but again it’s your understanding of this. Your emotions and reactions to events.

The MC might see it differently. His understanding of the semantics of “crush” might differ from yours or mine.

my point wasn’t I was correct in my new understanding of the story, nor I agree with the MC’s take on what happened to him. My point was more weight needs to be given to how he reacts over how we would react.

The MC has forgiven them. everyone involved is cool with this “just dating” thing. I previously thought this was incongruous. Having replayed I see it fits if the MC is just being more casual about all this than I thought he was.

I take back all my obscure theories about Josy/Maya being a rewrite of a much more intimate story. I take back my issue with them rejecting DIK MC then jumping right back into secretly liking him.

A more casual relationship bridges or excuses a lot of stuff. I don’t have to forgive them for the MC to do so logically. I don’t have to forgive the cheating for the MC to do so (like you did). My point is the MC isn’t me and thinking he was tainted my understanding of this story. It flows better now. Maya/Josy isn’t a glaring inconsistency by a writer who achieves consistency on all other routes.

I wouldn't go so far as to say she has "a thing" for Bella, but I do think something has happened between them before, probably in Bella's bed which is why Jill tried to assure her that, "It's not gonna happen again".

Yeah, maybe is just my wishful thinking, but the way she said it, it looked more like Bella had a problem with it and not Jill.

 

[Ilhares]

Or a Chick. First thing you do after becoming a DIK is walk away shamed by Tybalt.

I don't think Gandhi had sex very often...

Shame? Nobody can make you feel shame. Only you feel it. For me to even consider the words of somebody else as meaningful I'd have to care about that person's opinion. Tybalt is dog shit on my shoe. His words have no value or weight.

That said: Yeah, I punched his ass. He put hands on me. You start some, you gonna get some.

*but: His doing so was not unprovoked. You did crash the party and fuck things up. You're kinda the asshole in this situation no matter what, so choosing to not punch him helps mitigate that a little.

As for Gandhi, that dude was getting ass left, right, and center.

Thanks for replying i will download full game.

We are all fans of the game here but what would you say are the flaws of Being a Dik so far?

Personally I think Maya was not handled right. She got a lot of focus in the first few episodes but since the "twist" at the end of the third her character feels shallow to me.

Thoughts?

I agree, a lot of the problems fall into line when you realize that, for whatever reason, the three of them really do view this as a relatively casual dating scenario. They all hope it will grow into something more, but they are not sure how best to make that happen so they want to take it very slow and not get their hopes up too soon.

For the most part, I can accept that; if future episodes show the three of them working their way through things in a satisfying manner, I'll be happy. Really, I only have two quibbles with the situation. First, if this is the outcome, DPC should not have made the Maya/Josy decision the dramatic climax of Season 1. That primed the audience to expect more from resulting relationship, so it's really his own fault if people misunderstand the setup now.

Second, it's hard to reconcile everyone accepting a casual threeway relationship with how certain Maya and Josy are that they love each other if you go the friendship route. If they really feel that strongly about each other, then either their feelings for the MC must likewise be beyond casual to match their own love, or their feelings for each other are nowhere near as strong as they think they are. The former implies the trio are trying to deceive themselves to avoid emotional pain in case this falls apart (which could be fine if it is eventually addressed). The latter bodes ill for a happy ending to the Maya/Josy couple and would make me very sad.

We'll see what happens. I'd be very surprised if each new update doesn't have at least one hangout chance for those on the Maya/Josy path, so one way or the other we will learn more.

I was mostly trolling in that post. Mostly. You may think you made a good decision by not punching Tybalt. If everyone else thinks he made fun of you and harassed you physically without you defending yourself or retaliating your public image is tarnished. No matter what you think about it.

(Btw, you don't have to feel shame to be shamed. Those are different things).

Interesting info on Gandhi, though. I've never read about that. Turns out Nuclear Gandhi may not be that much of a meme after all

Uhm... Maybe something similar to what happened when Jill slept with MC? If I remember correctly, the MC woke up with his hand between Jill's legs... Maybe Jill has some vivid dreams and once Bella woke up with Jill's face between her boobs?

DPC, we need a detailed flashback, please!

Jill is like a ticking time bomb. During the day she's sweet and nice. At night she's horny AF

 

[ename144]

So, here's the latest random minor detail I noticed when I played through the game again. (Since it's been a week now, I will not hide Episode 5 spoilers, and they are fairly minor.)

On Sunday morning Derek posts his cluck about surviving Hell Week, and most of the HOTs reply to congratulate him and the MC. This includes Mona (last mentioned opting out of Quinn's free tuition deal), but does not include Ashley (last seen being comforted by Elena).

To me, this suggests that Mona is still planning on being a HOT and is not too traumatized by whatever happened with Stephen. I'm not sure what it implies about Ashley. Maybe I'm overthinking things and she just slept in?

 

[DaweFan69]

That's mysterious, it reminds me of this.

We still don't know who would be more pissed off than Chad about Sage.

I'm 99% sure he was talking about Burke cause when he saw the video of you having sex with Burke's wife Jade, he immediately used his only "DIK vow of secrecy" thing on you and said he's 100% sure about his decision. He wants to protect you from Burke

Personally, I feel like that whole interaction was about more than just something Jill did in her sleep. The fact that Bella says "I thought we had an understanding" after Jill says "It's not gonna happen again" seems to suggest they both agreed to stop doing something with each other, because Jill's "night humping" is not a conscious decision and so she can't exactly decide to stop doing it.

To have an "understanding" with another person to not do something would imply that they were both conscious participants, and the way they looked at each other felt like they were about two seconds away from locking lips had Bella not broken their gaze by turning away.

I'm 99% sure he was talking about Burke cause when he saw the video of you having sex with Burke's wife Jade, he immediately used his only "DIK vow of secrecy" thing on you and said he's 100% sure about his decision. He wants to protect you from Burke

He invokes the "secrecy" code if Derek has sex with the old techer too, so that doesn't really have anything to do with Burke.

It's not new per se. There has been speculation that Burke was heavily involved in the prostitution side (but not the actual drug supplier/cook) since C.1 when his pinstripe pants were spotted in the toilet that Quinn and Roina had just exited from. This is also linked to the alledged free tuition carrot that a glory hole business could not possibly pay for.

Darkmetal actually posted a step by step guide on how theoretically it could be put together a long time ago. I was able to locate his short re-summary of it here: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-5-0-dr-pinkcake.25332/page-2944#post-3362494

I think the theory is even stronger now after the Mona/Burke scene in C.5 - Quinn letting Burke partake/explain what is required for the tuition possibly.

Scene of mona and burk in the ep5? I didn't see any of that, what did I miss?
