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

[Better Cock Spock]

This is a small complaint but I wanted to just voice it. DPC has this annoying habit of making intelligent or educated characters overly verbose and much too technical with their choice of words. It doesn't happen too often, but when it does it's just so goddamn unnatural.

This little phenomenon reminds me of a small running gag in Star Trek, where Spock will say something in a highly nerdy fashion like the fucking nerd he is, and someone else—usually Bones—will simplify his statement or call him out, to which Spock replies "I believe that is what I said." There's a similar thing where he gets confused by human sayings, as does Data.

I'm going to be horny all day now thinking about Maya cucking me with a hot lesbian.

I knew I'd get some use out of this!

Ha, you should play a Mr Dots game then.

But I get what you mean, his dialogue is a bit verbose

Doesn't he translate to English without really adjusting at all?

DPC does it to contrast the MC's stupidity with how much smarter the other characters are compared to him. He thinks that the players will also be baffled by the wording that those characters choose to use and that it'll invoke a feeling of overwhelmedness in them, because he doesn't realize that complicated words ≠ good writing.

Oh it's much worse than that. There's always these little 'informative' monologues, on the most mundane topics imaginable that will make you want to gnaw your leg off to escape.

Consider this, his writing is so bad that it's forced me to defend DPC's writing

Is Bella preview a psyop? I saw the status, but not picture. Its nowhere to be found. Wtf

For Jade and Bella at least, that's 100% intentional.
He's probably not really thinking about the things you said, with them he just wants to use fancier vocabulary regardless of whether people like or not I think.

The characters I do enjoy writing for the most are, in no particular order: Derek, Quinn, Isabella and Jade. Derek is an outlet for my juvenile sense of humor, Quinn lets me be a manipulative puppet master and Isabella & Jade let me use a different kind of vocabulary.

He should have Magnar force everyone to speak in Old English when playing D&G

He also does the worst shit regarding the Asian characters in Sunshine Love, playing up the stereotypes. And this isn't specific to him either.

Quinn lets me be a manipulative puppet master

That's the funniest shit I've seen today.

Well, it might simply happen because DPC is not a native English speaker.

That shows too, with some grammatical flubs here and there, or being a bit overly formal sometimes. Otherwise he's pretty good at the dialogue.

He does use some odd phrasing, no?

Odd phrasing, huh?

I hope that whoever does the fan remake fixes things like that.

My favorite is "do the 69", he does it when you choose Josy in Episode 5, and fool around with Bella in Episode 7
