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

[anonnyscouse]

Apologies for my ignorance, but might I know what game/games these comparisons are coming from? The first and last pairs are not familiar to me.

First pair is from this game but thy are not LIs (at least not yet) Bianca is Jill's friend, you meet her at dinner on Jill's path, she's also at the recital and posts comments on Jill's Rooster page. Carolyn is the name given by this thread to the goth girl who looks nervous during the exam and is seen having a threesome at the dorm party.

The last pair is from Chasing Sunsets.

Strange enough, the first is actually from BaDIK. Bianca is Jill's friend who she has sushi with, and Carolyn is the unofficial name for the unnamed girl who's getting spit-roasted during the dorm party. She's also the girl sitting in the mid-terms not really giving a shit. We've called her Carolyn due to the F95 member Carolyn using her face as his avatar:

And he's right, Carolyn is indeed > Bianca!

I think the last two are from Chasing Sunsets. I wouldn't know, those girls don't interest me...

And for the record:

Tanaka > x

Thank you! I'll have to double down on my ignorance and humbly ask which game Tanaka is from. Unless you're talking about Hitomi...

I had completely forgotten about Bianca. I basically speed ran Jill's path just to get a save since I had already played the game how I wanted to once before already.

On a side note, I had always wondered who spit roast chick is. Nice to know she is in the game other than that once scene. Maybe more in the future..?

EDIT: And on a COMPLETELY unrelated note; I really have to thank all of you users who take the time to put game recommendations in their comment footers. Seriously, I have found so many great games that way.

Looks like you was using some kind of mods for "mansion restoration game".
Game crashes at some points intentionally - there is traps for modded saves.

yeah i installed a cheat mod a few updates ago, so im litterally not allowed to cheat the game is that it?

 

[deimos25]

Just played all the way through...I really wish there was complete harem route option as most of the LIs are just too good and hard to choose over the others...and now (maybe?) we have another LI (re)entering with Zoey that will cause more to end up having to get turned down.

The thing that I dislike the most is that some of the side girls can kill a main LI path. Such as you having to friendzone Josy/Maya to get a fling with Jade. Especially since there isn't any connection at all between those paths. I could have understood Cathy ending Bella's, except there ended up being 0 reason for her to have removed and then leave that evidence behind. Then she ends up moving anyways.

 

[Sharpen]

Bella's route being intercepted like that did feel a bit unusual given how careful Cathy was being about everything, definitely agree that there was no reason left them behind. On top of that, Bella doesn't even care about you going after Jill and is actively encouraging it, so her turn on the Cathy thing seemed a bit forced. Although I suspect it was just to have another way to end her route given how you have to pick someone and end other routes at the end of Chapter 2.

I have not tried to woo Jade while also keeping up with Josy and Maya. My first run I had barely missed the mark on the DiK/Chick scale to stay in the throuple, so I never had a chance to be with them. My second run, I did not pursue Jade because I wanted to see any different interactions it may have had. How does it make you friendzone them to fling with Jade? is it just a straight choice, like pick one of them now or something?

While I do think the majority of the LIs are phenomenal I am actually glad there is no harem option, as of yet. Harem endings tend to make individual choices seem to not matter much in the end, and I really, REALLY like this games inclusion of choices having an actual, noticeable impact on future situations.

I had to google Tanaka Hitomi...

Tanaka is the Chef from Chasing sunsets. Just like Carolyn, she comes across as an unobtainable love interest.

Tanaka seems unobtainable because she just very minor character, and on their first (and I think only) interaction, she eviscerates the mc.

Carolyn seems unobtainable because we literally see her fucking other characters. Just like having sex is a death sentence in a Friday the 13th movie, having sex on screen with other characters in BaDIK means the mc won't be getting any of that; examples:

• Derek fucks Wendy: Sorry Wendy fans, the chances of fucking her are (to be ironic) slim!
• Derek fucks Lydia: The mc's won't be dipping his wick into her twat of experience.
• Everybody fucks Arieth: The mc will always be the odd man out...
• Carolyn and the dorm party: She is one of the Vixens (the titular girl group of episode 9), and I believe DPC hinted at a scene between the mc and one of the vixens, so will DPC make an exception?

Of course there's implied sex (Tommy & Heather, Derek & Ashley), but that's not the same thing. Heather and the mc are surely on the cards, but I'm not convinced if that's about fucking Heather or fucking with Tommy , and the mc's already eaten Ashley out.

But anyway, here's hoping that Carolyn breaks the curse, and the mc fucks her brains out!

Just played all the way through...I really wish there was complete harem route option as most of the LIs are just too good and hard to choose over the others...and now (maybe?) we have another LI (re)entering with Zoey that will cause more to end up having to get turned down.

Especially since there isn't any connection at all between those paths. I could have understood Cathy ending Bella's, except there ended up being 0 reason for her to have removed and then leave that evidence behind. Then she ends up moving anyways.

The link between Jade and the girls is that the mc stands Jade up to be with them. That's just how the cookie crumbles.

Bella's route being intercepted like that did feel a bit unusual given how careful Cathy was being about everything, definitely agree that there was no reason left them behind. On top of that, Bella doesn't even care about you going after Jill and is actively encouraging it, so her turn on the Cathy thing seemed a bit forced. ..

For the longest time, Bella isn't trying to get with the mc and knows Jill has feelings for him so she encourages that. The problem is she does have feeling for him and that complicates things. But once she finds out he's fucking around with Cathy, she realises he's really not the right guy. She also accepts what she's doing to Jill is wrong, and she snaps out of her lust driven infatuation when she breaks up with him over Cathy. If Cathy isn't in the equation, and she stays with him, the hurt she could potentially cause to Jill is about to become serious.

dam is being a chick or a DIK better?

No exactly
So when MC stops overreacting and finally goes to talk to the two girls, game asks if you want to "Try for something more" which can lead to the throuple if you meet the scale requirements, but by doing so will cause you to miss a secret rendezvous that Jade decided when and where on her own, for that night. She gets pissed when you dont show and speeds off...and then there is no further interactions between Jade and the MC.

I think Bella dumps MC over Cathy because they're the same age. She's reluctant to start a relationship partly because of the age gap, setting MC up with Jill just serves to confirm her own insecurities. However if MC is fucking other women of Bella's age then she sees him as just a player who's not worth the effort. I'm sure if MC on Bella path who also fucked Jade gets found out somehow then that will be a problem too.

You can't pursue the throuple and Jade, you're given a choice in ep 4(?) between meeting Jade for a fuck or helping Maya and Josy. If you choose to fuck Jade then you miss the chance to suggest the throuple possibility. It's like helping Sage when she's sick instead of going on a date with Jill, so much happens on that Jill date that missing it means you can't convince Jill to date you.

Can someone tell me Whether being a Chick or A Dik gives me more Content?

 

[ffive]

• Everybody fucks Arieth: The mc will always be the odd man out...

You mean crabless; the one crabless man out.

 

[deimos25]

True, it just feels very off and forced as there is 0 connection until then, and after there is no interactions or discussions with Jade. So in order to get a nice side fling with a side char along with the checking off hell week items you have to kill a main LI route, because...cuz.

 

[anonnyscouse]

You can pursue the Josy/Maya throuple, Sage, Bella and Jill on a chick/neutral playthrough.

But you'd be better doing a DIK playthrough too as that's best for all the side girls.

Hmmm... I would have to go back and run through it again to understand this better. I'm confused because on my first run, I pursued Jade up until the very end AND I still got the scene with Josy and Maya with the choice of 'Try for something more' or 'Just stay friends' unless its a different interaction that causes Jade to bail. Although, while I did get that choice, I was defaulted in to friendzone because of I did not meet the requirements. Does getting friendzoned free you up to see Jade that same night, whereas getting in to the throuple makes that scene go through the night instead? Cuz if so, then it makes sense what happened in my first playthrough because as of yet I have not been pursuing Jade while also meeting the correct scale requirements for Josy and Maya.

Seems to me like it's:
Be a DiK for the journey or be a Chick for the destination.

But Sage and Jill are both main LI chars...so its like choosing a LI path. Its not a side char killing a main LI path.

Yea if they friendzone the MC then Jade will happen if pursuing her

I may have the exact point wrong (I only took the Jade option on my uber-DIK others playthrough). It could be that choosing Maya and Josy over Jade gives you the RP required for the throuple, like the Jill picnic gives you her RP and if missed then the branch is closed.

if it's called "being a dik" why is the first season before you become a dik? false advertising smh this is almost as bad as when we barely do any actual acting lessons.

Carolyn is not Bianca. Carolyn is Catrin from Swyper. DPC tells us through Leon. Who does the MC see for the first time at the midterms? Catrin aka Carolyn.

They are not saying that Carolyn and Bianca are the same person. They are saying that Carolyn is better than Bianca. And Carolyn is NOT Catrin. Catrin does not have eyebrow or septum piercing like Carolyn does.
