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

[shazba]

I'm having a problem with Josy's message after the birthday scenes. I got messages from Isabella, Maya, Quinn, and no problems. Will the 0.6.1 update fix that?

What was the actual problem? I never upgraded to 0.6.1 (stayed at 0.6) without any drama.

 

[Meushi]

keep in mind all the clashes between Derek and the world of feminists, Derek doesn't make jokes but brings forward some very common arguments in those speeches, following the classic trick of saying certain things that "cannot be stated openly" in the form of a joke, of comic moment.

I think most of it is for laughs, and Derek's character pulls it off so well, but definitely seems like DPC enjoys not-so-subtle, subliminal messaging between the lines of his porn and comedy.

Don't know that DPC's being subliminal about it, from the outset he was quite open about pillorying this stuff for comedic effect:

Hey DrPinkCake, no need to mock feminists

I'm making fun of extreme feminists that often miss the point of feminism completely and just want to tip the scale. Feminists can be brilliant people, and I'm all for equality, but these extremists ruin their cause imo. Secondly, I'm an advocate of that ANYTHING can be made fun of. There aren't any limits when it comes to jokes, satire etc. People only tend to react when it hits too close to home.

 

[Gladheim]

identifying feminists with fat, poorly dressed lesbians is also taking a stand

Not feminist, radical feminist, feminazis

You need to update the mod if youre using it, or skip the message and call her, since the message only says to call her when you see the message, nothing more

That's why I called it "not-so-subtle".

it's not that he could say otherwise ...

however it is not important, it was just to agree with shazba

if Chad turns out to be gay the social context would be that

 

[shazba]

On a completely less controversial topic than defiance of progressive norms: Is this like the closest Bella has ever come to smiling. If you look carefully there's a very subtle smile (maybe it's in the eyes). That was her cracking up the MC's very witty double entendre about "doing it by the books." The fact that that joke actually earned points with her is something new!

 

[AkaSharkie]

best game i played so far, love it

 

[mpa71]

Hold on a second, was that Paula from Swyper during EP6???
The pose and cheeks match. How weird would it be if she is friend with Bella after we got blocked.


EDIT: Well that was already spotted in the forum

I was looking for a picture of Troy to post but I came across this instead, which has nothing to do with crossdressing and everything to do with solving the Tybalt blackmail issue (posted on this forum earlier this year - created Coriolan

But its amazing picture thou. Do you know any other gameplay with Jill in it? or it's only in DIK?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

the game doesn't seem very progressive to me ..

sure a porn game is not the best place to look for progressive ideas ...

If DPC lets there be an ending with both M&J, then that would be quite progressive.

The game doesn't necessarily have to be entirely "woke" in terms of people being super accepting of everything because a lot of games are, but the real world has people like Maya's Dad who are homophobic, like Jill who doesn't believe it's OK to be in an open relationship, and like Chad who (possibly) is gay but can't say it because of his jock status.

Yeah, I clocked her about 2 seconds after that render appeared and recognised her instantly because of that pose.

Now I think it begs the question, is she attending B&R and will we ever meet her?

Also, since we've met (and fucked) Nora and Paula may very well be a B&R student, what are the chances that we get to meet Ellie?

BTW, did anyone else think it strange that Bella was on an exercise bike in the public gym when she has one at home in her private fitness room?



I'm guessing this was just so there could be that joke with Tybalt thinking she's speaking to him, even though it doesn't make sense that she'd be there.

Probably because she's at work and the university gym is closer to her

It wouldn't be a bad idea to meet that girl

Public gym? nah it more likely B&R gym. She work there so She might go to that gym before work or break time. Her bike at home is more likely weekend workout and possible find extra time to do 2nd cardio after work

But was this not him calling her in the morning, at a time when she would be at home?

I don't know if the fact that a couple of girls suddenly discovers they can't live without a penis can be considered progressive ... but that's okay. we hope

The MC even questions her when she says she's not at her home Gym, she says she attends some classes. It's more social I guess, except for the Tybbie factor.

No, this is Monday evening. It's just before the MC rushes off to comfort Sage in the rain and then bump into Quinn.

Do you know people go to work in the morning right? I assume library open at 7 so Bella probably hit gym around 5 am for an hour then take a shower at the gym before heading to work. We need a time stamp

So I been analyzing the soundtrack quality with "

You must be registered to see the links

", a software to check spectrum and detect fake/bad encoding. And when the musical selection is indeed great, the raw quality (bitrate, KB) is absolutely poor and inconsistent.

MP3 encoding norm, if not variable, are 128/192/256/320KB.

Out of 161 tracks:
15 are <128k -- this is the worst MP3 quality
93 are 128k -- this a low quality MP3
16 are poor variable of 139/166k
13 are 192/256k -- this should be considered the minium MP3 quality to keep a ratio of size/quality
14 are quality variable of 315/319k
10 are perfect 320k -- best mp3 quality

So in that first picture it's a 128k, you can see the deep of sound cut at around 16K, the HiFi norm is 20K.
The second picture is a 320k, here we can see the deep is over 20K, the sound have more volume and range, quality.

In short: 128k ~16K | 192k ~18K | 256k ~20k | 320k >20K

Some of the licensed tracks can even be pretty poorly encoded, here supposed 192k when in fact poor 128k.


So here the balance with quality/size. Actually the soundtrack weight 600MB. A 3min sound in 128k is about 3MB when a 320k is about 8MB. At 320k the soundtrack size could almost triple or reasonably at 256k double.

My 2-cents, DPC should double check the sound quality, standardizing it, get better sources if needed for consistency.

Yeah but more quality are more MBs and 20 songs can be easy more than 100MB or 150MB, it does not bother me, we are not here to listen to those songs as if it were spotify xd
