I would agree if we were talking about politics or something important, where criticisms and other forms of "negativity" can be helpful. But we're talking about a porn game and most of the complaints now are from people who are just bashing on it out of (in my opinion) childish impatience and/or some kind of resentment of DPC because he's got an enormously successful and lucrative business going. That's not "REAL discourse" and it certainly isn't helpful.
Anyway, I'm going to stop arguing because I'd like to continue coming to this site and participating in these forums and I really don't want to turn fellow fans of the game--even those with whom I disagree--into antagonists.
Good point. I for one WANT DPC to be successful. I envy nothing of the rewards from sweat of his labor. If his biggest problem becomes where to have his 3rd holiday home, I am totally OK with that. I LOVE his work and enjoy a great deal from it. Someday, when BaDIK ends (assuming I am still alive) his next effort should be very good. And some history. Acting Lessons blew me away. When I saw he was doing this, it was a 5 second decision if that. I hope he has great success AND, does not over do it (good work-life balance).
Accidentally by helping Sage while she's sick while on a Jill run I can say that the test still comes up so it's either Ash (from Ant or Derek), Arieth (from absolutely anybody), Heather (from Tommy) or it's a fake-out and it's Lynette in a diary entry
If Interlude had been a pure flashback in EP9, Zoey would never have gotten the attention she currently has. Even you write about Zoey.
Now imagine if the girl you liked the most in the game was only introduced as a flashback. I don't think that girl would have appealed to you then, because you only know her from a short story that wouldn't have any greater meaning.
Zoey will have a greater importance for the whole story of BaDIK. We just don't know where the journey with Zoey is going. Interlude is just the beginning of Zoey's importance to the story and nothing more. But there will be more to come and in the end Zoey may even become the LI of your MC.

But why should we care about Wendy?
The pregnancy should affect MC in some way or it's meaningless. Wendy's pregnancy affects only Derek who is by far just a minor character. Great character but minor.
Just ask yourself whose pregnancy will affect MC no matter what path you're playing. Personally I think it's Heather. Pregnant Heather will leave B&R with Tommy, making room for Maya to live with Josy and for MC to take the VP.

Someone mentioned a while ago it could be from FuckFace peeing on a test, apparently some types of testicular cancer shows up like that. Hence the hospital visit and the worried faces. I do think it was mentioned in the MJ path scene where Derek and FuckFace visits a store.
For me this pregnancy test pic is only a minor thing in the whole plot. Like Jamie and his toxic feminist cunt Dany. It would be a funny side plot like many others in this novel. For DPC it's no need to do this but it makes the whole novel more interesting. It's good to bond with all chars. These are the little details why we all love this game. You don't notice those details while you're playing but you notice if you play a game which bothers you because you don't care about the chars. A good story needs background to any chars. Derek is his maggot brother and obviously his best friend at this moment of the novel. So it effects to you as player not to you as MC.
It doesn't matter to me. I would play a save where I creampie them all. Just for the lols. If I had the choice to impregnate my major LI in my saves I would do it if the story tease me to do this. But really interesting would be if MC, the male slut, had plant his seed into one of those side girls form the Pink Rose or one of the HOTs. Would be funny to see how Maya & Josy or Jill react to this.
That's possible and an interesting point. Maybe it's Jade and she dropped the bombed at the meeting with her husband, Sage, Maya & Josy. But I don't think so. We see this pic even if we don't fucked Jade and rejected her from the very beginning. But maybe she lies because MC was a pain in the ass for her little Tybalt and she could try to take revenge to Stephen. And to MC too because he rejected her. That could explain why Sage yelled to MC he should "fucking come out" of the bathroom.
I played a save where MC rejected all girls and didn't fucked. There was this pregnancy test pic too. That's why I'm sure it has nothing to do with MC. Derek and Wendy would be the funniest plot and it fits to DPC's humor.

Regarding the Fuck a teacher task
Is there a traitor or is the DIK cloud being hacked/monitored?
I mean if you tell Derek, Burke sees the video.
And I don't trust Nick, he's been getting conveniently spared from shit is what I think

I'd say Rusty. There is probably a lot of reasons to doubt him but what sparked my suspicion was the second he gave us access to the laptop/vault. But for example Nick, who has been DIK since the start, is kept in the dark.
I really don't see why would Rusty do it other than trying to set up MC for Cathy's cluck and some possible future shit Rusty does.
It is interesting how cruel Quinn can be yet when you are on her path with no other sides or LIs she is willing to take on the idea of having a boyfriend. The language in the events is all there. Almost as if MC would be her only friend. With the EP7 MC visit to her room. She states they have all night to hang out. She has no friends. She has her business plan and that is it. Again, a potential redemption path would be pure story-writing gold. Peaches in The Expanse, did far worse and saw redemption.
