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

[Warscared]

Seems like almost every main character is rich. Even MC is technically rich with his mother's family

2017 america in comparison with the rest of the world even the poorest american is part of the richest 10% of the world since Americans are 4.20% of the world population it would take the rest of the richest people in the world combined to match the Americans! the average person in the richest countries are half as rich as the average american! that includes Canadians Norwegians or swedes!

the wealth distribution is another question! but the poorest working american that only makes 25.000 in Nebraska is still richer then 85% of the world population! so yeah even the MC is wealthy as shit, and all that from tips from fighting and stealing poor young insecure lesbians lunch money...

but the MC maternal family probably went bankrupt! everything in the Lynette diary makes me think they where going for a hail Mary to try and save their wealth and social position! I can only imagine that loosing their daughter as not helped in keeping them focused on the money... unless her life insurance money saved them!

When the MC gives a little motivational speech to the DIKs after their place is trashed Derek mentions that he is "so gonna steal that line" at one point. The line was something like "It might be second hand, but at least it comes with a soul" or similar. I'm guessing that was what Derek sent to Ashley.

it might not be pretty but it comes with a heart! that was a joke about sending dick pictures!

I'm feeling like Quinn could be a full on LI the longer the story goes on. In the same way that Bella is even though her story takes a couple of chapters to begin and is intertwined with Jill's. Nicole and Riona are also feeling like significant sub-plots waiting to happen.

It seems like with my 3 major playthrough saves of:
A Josy/Maya Neutral-to-Chick route.
A Jill/Bella Chick route
A Sage/Quinn Dik route
I can easily see all of the game by making a few different choices at certain savepoints along the desired route. For example I have seen all of the strip club scenes by doing this on the DIK path, but for my main save on this route I skipped most of it. I want to see all game has to offer so if anyone can point me at content I may have missed doing it this way it would be greatly appreciated.

Quinn is marked to die! if you can handle the loss please come right in! but not be mistaken she as been marked for tragedy, now it might go over towards Rhyona but the plan from the beginning is clearly Q will be the emotional punch!

It's interesting that the most complex and human love interest in the game is so divisive. Quinn comes from the most broken home with the least wealth, no family upon whom she can depend, no real friends, and a survival instinct she learned from her surroundings. Growing up in an environment where people have to have their fix at any cost or sell to people who have to have their fix at any cost teaches a person that being like the Jill's or even the Sage's of the world gets you hurt.

Quinn doesn't even know what real love is because she's never experienced it. Her entire life has been about what people can get from her and never about what anyone can do for her without a quid pro quo expectation of something in return. The MC could be her first true love interest in terms of someone who is not using her for anything and who genuinely likes her for the good qualities he knows she has behind the offensive sword and defensive shields she creates to keep people at a distance.

People don't come without baggage. Just because Quinn's baggage is more ostensible doesn't mean she is more flawed. Quinn's story has been told to a greater extent than has the story of other love interests. Perhaps when their stories are told they will be equally flawed in other ways. It might be best to reserve judgment on characters until the story has been told in its entirety.

poor? drug dealers like Rox for which Buddy took over make decent 6 figures a year! her education is different but taught her not to trust idiots that freeze when shit goes down!

As i stated she deslikes a Chick MC because those idiots get you dead when shit goes down and they take more then 3 secs to act!

Also Rox might not be the ideal father but from the flashbacks we can clearly see she was loved by her father that was willing to kill to keep her safe! her mother sucks yes but she had both and one of them loved her! she knows real love because rox stood by her!

as for friends in that life she only lost the useless ones! Rhyona stood up with her!

ofc college kids got it better then her but those college kids got it better then 90% of their peers! so her unstable life might not be ordinary but it does not mean it was worse per se just different! If she learn from it she might end becoming a better person then people who never knew privation or dangers!

Hey I have the same problem.
Can anyone help ?
There is no way out this picture:

there a beer can under the couch!

and a beer bole next to the single couch

Was this latest episode the best entry on a technical level? O

yes from DPC at least! nothing beats a Yuno Gasai rendering but he is a sculptor of perfection not a cartoonist!

This. From Quinn's POV, CHICK MC is a white knight pussy trying to protect his barbie girlfriend (regardless of your interactions with Maya), if you try to help her, she'd just think that you see her as weak as Maya and fuck that noise

you are a special just like Arieth, bellow all the masquera and mask she uses she is a sweet and kind heart that as far more depth then the cupboard where everyone tries to stash her so they can continue to live their empty and miserable lifes without having to worry about others!

No other girl ingame as a bigger heart in B&R then Arieth who swore no man of B&R would ever leave a virgin!

you a ugly incel? you a fat nerd? have no fear Arieth will sort you out as long as you are near!

 

[Picc4h]

you a ugly incel? you a fat nerd? have no fear Arieth will sort you out as long as you are near!

That's a weird answer to someone who was just telling his thought of Quinn's POV in MC's affinity.
As per usual, shit escalate quickly around here.

 

[PinkmeX]

All of this intelligent in depth analysis of Quinn as a character, and you come in with something so mundane, seething unoriginality, so vehemently spewed that it's become exhaustingly redundant trying to sway the minds of you simpletons.

Pretty much. It's not like we don't know who Quinn is. Yes, she is a drug dealer. Yes, she is a pimp. Yes, she's messing with Maya for no (good) reason and yes, she's still my favorite girl in the game.

Excuse me, how can I unlock these two "laptops"

Do we know whose father this guy is?

No, we don't know but we can surmise that someone invited to the Prep House party with red hair might be related to someone who lives in the Prep House with red hair and she might be female since he specified that much himself. So many characters meet that description we may never solve this riddle.

There's a theory that he could possibly be Sage's father.

You may have missed a few scenes with the other girls, but not too many.

Careful, I'm not sure Jill / Bella can go on for long. It may even be too late (as for Cathy, the event that will trigger a breakup may have already passed).

Sage / Quinn I think it won't last long too.

I think to see it all, you would need a DIK route as well, without any of the LIs, just the side girls (that includes Quinn, Jade and Cathy).

And then there would also be the Maya or Josy solo route. There you can follow them at the same time as another route, and reach the last moment to create a different save.

 

[Ilhares]

I know a story development is coming where we can potentially swoop in and steal Josy away from Maya, and when that happens I'll be 100% ready to strike...

But .. then who'll be the live-in nanny? MC ain't gonna stay home with the babies all day.

 

[ARTHURIUSS]

This is hands down the greatest porno game ever made. Nothing even comes close to this game's level of quality.

Makes it look like it's Sage's Father who was avoiding him during the party due to him being embarrassing.

Is there an official walktrough for episode 7?

 

[Remor]

In Episode 6-7 the main love interests are really starting to interact and talk about each other. I feel like Episode 8 will be the first time trying to bang everyone will have a real impact on the MC/Story. It's the season 2 finale after all. Going for Bella and Jill is going to be an absolute disaster. I can't wait

 

[RonnieBoi]

Is there an official walktrough for episode 7?

Not yet.
The last status update DPC said “Within the next two weeks”

 

[Overam22]

Don't fight Tommy back

No way i get it, then. I much rather kicking his ass myself

Plot twist: he's Arieth father

 

[BeingADikDik]

This is hands down the greatest porno game ever made. Nothing even comes close to this game's level of quality.

I heard that DPC has been commissioned to make another game that won't require as much rendering time so that he can churn out updates more quickly. It will be titled "Being a STICK" - all stick figures, but with the best writing imaginable! We'll see which is the greatest porno game once it comes out!

me too, I just hope that Maya doesn't get hurt, or dies or something like that

 

[BeingADikDik]

Maya and Josy's sole relationship issue presented in the narrative thusfar has been Patrick, Maya's father. He'll probably escalate his attempts to control Maya in response to Sage's attempt to intervene, which will separate Maya and Josy and prevent communication with both MC and Josy. This will put a lot of strain on the relationship, but in itself isn't enough to break the relationship. It will be Josy whose actions while separated will be the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back.

It's interesting that the most complex and human love interest in the game is so divisive. Quinn comes from the most broken home with the least wealth, no family upon whom she can depend, no real friends, and a survival instinct she learned from her surroundings. Growing up in an environment where people have to have their fix at any cost or sell to people who have to have their fix at any cost teaches a person that being like the Jill's or even the Sage's of the world gets you hurt.

Her entire life has been about what people can get from her and never about what anyone can do for her without a quid pro quo expectation of something in return. The MC could be her first true love interest in terms of someone who is not using her for anything and who genuinely likes her for the good qualities he knows she has behind the offensive sword and defensive shields she creates to keep people at a distance.

People don't come without baggage. Just because Quinn's baggage is more ostensible doesn't mean she is more flawed. Quinn's story has been told to a greater extent than has the story of other love interests. Perhaps when their stories are told they will be equally flawed in other ways. It might be best to reserve judgment on characters until the story has been told in its entirety.

Are you sure you aren't projecting? We don't actually know much about Quinn's family life for certain, and even what we speculate is open to a lot of interpretation.

It seems like Quinn's father was a drug dealer/user, and (for whatever reason) is not around anymore. Her mother was a junkie and no longer even recognizes Quinn. That's definitely a lousy childhood, but it doesn't mean Quinn grew up utterly without guidance or affection. Rox DID seem to be looking after her, and definitely responded poorly to people treating Quinn badly. Even in the present day, Buddy actually asks Quinn about her problems, only for her to shut down the inquiry. She does so again when Buddy asks why she is breaking her unspoken taboo and selling coke.

Now I want to be clear here: I am *not* saying Quinn had a loving family and her problems are entirely of her own making. I'm just asking how much we can really tell about Quinn's upbringing because, IMHO, it's rather ambiguous. The modern-day scene with Buddy reads very differently if you assume Buddy is genuinely worried about his surrogate niece (only for her to slap his help away) than it does if you assume Quinn knows she's in a pit of vipers and he's just looking for a weakness to exploit. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell which interpretation is nearer the mark because we only see Buddy interact with Quinn, and she treats Buddy the same way she treats absolutely everyone else in the game.

That said, the reason I'm reluctant to give Quinn the benefit of the doubt is precisely because her behavior is so consistent. The truth is that we have actually seen people offer Quinn genuine support on other occasions, and Quinn is never confused or vulnerable in the face of those acts of kindness. Sage in particular has clearly shown Quinn more support and trust than she actually deserves, because Quinn *blatantly* abuses that trust at every turn. We also saw Riona offer Quinn advice with no agenda beyond being in the same boat as Quinn, only for Quinn to literally slap her. And of course Quinn will even reject the MC when he offers to help her after the mugging... unless he meets her specific requirements.

So I ask again, are you sure Quinn's upbringing was really devoid of virtue? Are you certain that Quinn's role models had absolutely no good aspects to emulate, rather than Quinn choosing to embrace only their worst aspects? I often say that I don't hate Quinn, but I'll be the first to admit I dislike her [personally, not as a character] and that dislike may color my interpretation of her. But if we want to be as objective as possible, do we really have enough information to compare Quinn's childhood to other characters?

After all, with the exception of Bella (who has a whole separate trauma) all the LI's had issues with their family growing up. Sure, at first glance, it seems like Quinn growing up in a literal drug den must have had it far worse than Jill's affluenza or Maya's closeted homosexuality. But is that really the case? Whatever happened to Lana killed her; just how much blame (if any) do her parents bear for that? Maya's dad is actively working to ruin her life (with no apparent opposition from her mom), and her brother's support is at best limited; how do we gauge how much better that is than Quinn's absent parents and relationship with Buddy?

I honestly don't know. If we ever get a fuller picture of Quinn's youth and it really was as bad as you suggest, I'm prepared to accept I will owe her an apology. But that full picture may never happen, and in the meantime I'm not going to exempt Quinn from even the most basic expectations of human decency. If she really did have that decency beaten out of her, that would be something truly tragic. But it wouldn't make the way Quinn acts okay; it just means it would be the fault of those who raised her, not Quinn herself.

People would still need to be protected from what Quinn has become. The difference is that now Quinn would be the first on that list. (That's how I see it, at least. YMMV.)
