Just what kind of depraved, soulless existence do people grow up in today that this would be considered 'standard behavior'?

But regardless of that, I remind you that the MC didn't grow up with much, he's said so himself quite a bit - and he's more of the outdoors type and physically active, he probably never really got into computers all that much. Consider his joy/amazement at having a new proper smartphone. He didn't even bother with that Rooster/Swyper garbage until Derek set him up.

Since the dawn of man has this been done. Young caveman MC would have gone to the clan's cave drawings to find out more about the plump bottomed lass he saw at the last gathering to skin woolly mammoth.

And MC may have been poor, but he had a phone, he had internet (at the very least with his school connection). It's not like he was living with a Sentinelese tribe with no knowledge of modern technology before arriving at B&R. It is not unusual at all for people of the modern age to look up people online whom they have just recently met. Even prospective employers in 2022 will google search you before bringing you onboard. If they find out about that one time you posed with an OD'ed midget hooker, your application will probably be revoked.

I think people are reading too much into this.

When DPC started Acting Lessons, it was a hobby, and it turned out well for him.

Then he started on BaDIK and his hobby became a huge success, so much so that he decided to do it full time.

He repeatedly tells us how much he enjoys doing this, and the satisfaction of doing something you enjoy and having it turn out really well is a great feeling.

So why would he even consider bringing other people into his employ?

Suddenly, what was initially a fun, rewarding, highly successful hobby, becomes a chore, it's now just a money making venture with employees, wages, etc.

If he's happy, why the fuck would he give what is bringing him satisfaction over to other people?

It's got nothing to do with micromanagement, trust etc.

I like posting shit on this board. Should I outsource it to others so I can post more shit, faster? I mean they could post the shit, then I just review it to make sure it looks like how I want.

Where's the fun in that?

If it was my job, and I didn't like doing it, well that's another story...


I'm not sure if he means that he rarely scraps an intended render (like deciding to scrap a scene or an expression or something like that), or if he never has to redo anything because it didn't turn out the way he wanted.

being totally honest here, he could very easily increase the quality of his product and/or the speed with which its released if he brought on other talented people to lighten his load. i understand he is likely a control freak and doesnt want other people "messing up" his baby, but pragmatically speaking there is a point where there is just too much work for one man to reasonably do. there is a lot of busywork that he could delegate to other people that would free him up to spend more time on the aspects of the game's production that he enjoys most (i dont care what he says, im 100% sure he doesnt love doing everything single thing in game development, he still does them but im sure there are parts he LOVES doing and the rest he merely TOLERATES doing).

we are currently at like 2 episodes every 12 months and who knows if that timetable will get worse as things move forward. i KNOW he could get these updates out faster with help, and with how much he makes from patron and the steam sales there is no reason to not speed up production if possible (unless he is just milking things without being obvious about it like Milfy City).

its laughable to compare this to the Sistine Chapel, but even Michelangelo had helpers

Why not? You know it was inevitable! Not a chance that his effort would be wasted. I don't think even a zombie apocalypse could have prevented an NTR post from happening here.

Yeah, but another game I like addressed it directly and amusingly.

so I think there's high probability of DPC playing tricks with MC's middle name (Lynette's last name) :Kappa:

The two first names thing gave me a funny thought. What if Quinn goes by her middle name in college and her first name is Lisa. The Lisa that Zoey was referring to in Interlude who has the hots for the MC.:rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

Lynette and Amelia, to the best of my knowledge, have never shared a scene together, nor shared conversation while one was offscreen.

Well, I guess it's time for fact checking:

here you are:

1.

2. the mansion and the fields, too:

Now, have a look here:

3. Mom's diary:

Do you see the mansion in the distance? do you identify it? even the trees are still there!

Tbh, we had an Italian exchange student named "Felicia" when I was in university, so I assumed that Felice is also a female name.

Besides, I need you, bb. I need you so you can get Tara and I can have Jaye for myself. :ROFLMAO: :Kappa:

Felice is the male name (much more common than its female form). Felicia is very rare: its hypocoristic form, Licia, is far more common.
