Definitely could do with less drama. I know that the story has to progress but a lot of it (drama) felt forced just to escalate things. Reason I was so excited about Being a DIK in the 1st place was cause DPC promised a more lighthearted but still dramatic game, compared to Acting Lessons. Hopefully he shoots for the balance the 1st season had.
And that in a nutshell is why I am negative on DPC here and angry as well.I feel like Swyper may be done after this update. We've lost Cathy and Catrin, and we either fuck Nora or miss out on it which means she's probably done as well. This just leaves Ellie, but after the Jill date it seems like the MC might limit their casual sex with side girls and this will probably be made to happen on all paths, whether he went on the date or not.
Honestly, I'd have preferred it never happen at all. For me, it's more about how much time and effort went into developing this portion that could have been used elsewhere on something that actually advanced the main plot or the sub-stories. Even if it had affected stats, what would that have even been like? Lose RP with M&J but gain RP for charming Jill, and lose RP with Jill but gain RP for charming M&J? Since this is supposed to be a game for "fun", why would/should they have perceived that as anything more than being playful and not something that would make them suspicious/jealous? Since no RP was gained or lost, I guess this is how they perceived it, which means that the game didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
It also didn't even really reveal anything about the MC, aside from the fact that the ones he could charm and get fantasy sex scenes with are the ones he is able to do things with in the real world based on his affinity and relationship status with M&J (although I am curious as to why my Neutral MC who had sex with Camila and Riona in the previous was blocked from the fantasy sex in this episode).
Perhaps instead there could have been an amusing moment for those on the Jill and M&J paths where Jill puts her hand on his leg and M&J play footsie with him under the table which causes an amusingly awkward moment for him. Then afterwards they could all head out and as they're walking through the halls they see all the Cathy posters that have been put up by the Jocks which the MC starts taking down and Cathy sees him do this. She'll go up to him and thank him and ask to speak to him in her office which could have led to an actual sex scene with her on the non-M&J path.
There may be something of a backlash to the DnG game here, but DPC will never know and even if they did, they won't care. Also, there will be no such "backlash" on their Discord because if anyone voices even a slight bit of criticism, they'll be banned. DPC only wants positive feedback.
You are 100% on point, and I doubt he will follow through. Needless drama seems to be his thing. Tell him and he will ban you. Keep supporting and you have to read all the empty praise. Blah
Uhmmm, not quite. Supermarkets for one usually don't sell guns, unless you mean Walmart? They're hardly just a supermarket. Gun sales are also different depending on the state. It's never stated specifically but, I believe that the game is meant to be set in California, and while the state can't ban gun sales outright, they do everything they can to restrict them.
Which is even more bizarre when you consider that only patrons have acess to the chat.Honestly, I'd have preferred it never happen at all.

I don't think people disliked it because of fun, I think people disliked it because of relevance to the game and all the issue's and mysteries that are still pending.
I think it was a choice between Sandy or Lily, since Lily wasn't there on the second visit (I think), and given Tommy probably organised it... We all know he's a big Lily fan.
Yep, we can nit pick it for eternity, given it's only got the input from one finite mind, or we can enjoy it for what it is or we can bail if we don't enjoy it (from the sounds of it whatever we say won't have any influence on the future direction). Thankfully I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Well i personaly liked the D&R game.
I think you're right on that. If you've ever been on DPC's Patreon it's really quite astonishing. Beside's the usual gushing about Bella or Jill it's just one long stream of endless praise for every little thing he does. It would be a miracle if DPC didn't get an over sized ego in that environment.
Yeah, I meant it that way, really. Trying to apply some real world logic into it is pointless once we know it's just how it is. Then of course we can nit pick within that world's never explained rulesYep, we can nit pick it for eternity, given it's only got the input from one finite mind, or we can enjoy it for what it is or we can bail if we don't enjoy it (from the sounds of it whatever we say won't have any influence on the future direction).

I'd say the first game went down well so DPC figured he'd up the anti. I'd say the reason why the first game went down well was because it was a bonding experience for Jill and the MC. It was before their first date (I believe), they'd just been carrying on a little bit under the table, and then they're talked in to this game (which the MC can't grasp). It's quick, funny and at the end if the MC died protecting Jill's elf, he gets a kiss for his efforts (even if he didn't know what the hell was going on in the game). The second game didn't tick any of those flags. No further bonding (just fake sex scenes with characters that weren't playing or sex scenes with character's he'd already had sex with, except for Jill but Tybalt managed to fuck that up anyway!)
but the first game of D&G had been harmless, even fun since you could spank the nerd.
He's creating one of the best porn games around. There are other good ones (some are arguably better), but this is one of the best. Flaws are inevitable, but they shouldn't detract from the overall achievement. I think I could write a good story, maintain consistent delineation between each personality and character, and create a branching but maintainable story, and I could program it too, but bugger me I don't have an artistic bone in my body when it comes to visuals. I'm impressed he's doing the whole thing himself. Some of the scenes are so satisfying (and I'm not talking about every time the MC nuts into some chick's face). I think he has every right to be proud of what he's achieved, I just hope the wheels don't fall off before he crosses the finish line (and I'm not intimating that he's headed for that end).
