I'm also afraid to even post something that might be remotely off-topic So there's less uh ... "life" or "spice" in the thread. You can only talk about the game and your replies have to be related to the game in some way. Really whittles down your choices.
BTW, I LOOOOOVE BADIK. It's the best VN ever. BADIK. Being a DIK. I'm talking about the game, DIK.
I don't have a single off topic post. They never existed. Let's praise our Big Brother Dr.PinkCake. :LOL:

Let's talk about the real pussys now...

View attachment 2181469
Laugh, you blindmen, laugh at the brave sir Magnar while you can. You'll never know who the true mastermind behind all these recent events is until it's too late. Do you really think that Burke, Quinn, Vinny and others are so independent and act of their own free will that there is not an evil genius in charge of all of this? Anyway, when you are surrounded by pussies, the best way to hide is to pretend to be one of them. So, Magnar is at the right tier now ;)

My fear is that DPC sees it the other way round: forcing us to pick a girl early will encourage the player to cheat as time goes on. By giving us a long time to be frustrated/bored at the need to constantly turn down all the side characters, we'll help kick off the drama he wants when our chosen relationship hits the rocks at the end of Season 3. That's not to say it's a complete trap. There will be some wiggle room and I'm sure we'll get warning signs before we really screw anything up. And there will be a way to patch things up with out chosen girl - or a different girl, like Quinn or Zoey - in Season 4 (though possibly not both Maya and Josy). But the goal is to make it hard to stay loyal.

I think that's why we're getting characters like the Vixens. They'd be ideally suited to throw themselves at the MC without worrying about the collateral damage to his relationships. It will probably start on the acceptable side of the line (heavy flirting, exhibitionism, and flagrant abuse of 'party' loopholes), but escalate as the season winds on. Combine that with the natural appeal of other side girls, the faults in the MC's chosen branch, and the ticking sexbomb that is Zoey, and DPC will get the drama he craves.

Personally, I think that would be a miserable way to follow up the crossroads; it's a big part of why I'm so down on the end of Season 2. But it sure looks like that's where we're headed. We'll have to see what happens when Episode 9 finally rolls around.
The Vixens will be like the Pink Rose members and the Swiper crushes: a way to offer the player a kind of sexual liberation. The main character flirts with these ladies, sleeps with them, with no consequences or repercussions for the storylines. Until such time as these characters are part of the narrative or become a choice in their own respect.

Such behavior naturally tends towards DIK but is not that restricted (e.g. having sex with Madame Rose while being pure Chick). DrPinkCake may maintain this approach in the new season so as not to frustrate the player, now coupled with a loyalty score system - for those who have chosen a girlfriend - similar to Jill's jealousy.

I see that in a similar way. DPC gives the players what they want. A porn game where the player can let off steam or a game for adults with a story and sexual content.

I am not so sure that Swyper and the pink rose girls are to be considered so safe.

Cathe has to be considered a girl si Swyper, since her courtship can only start that way, and in fact may cost us Bella.

Nora continues to be a loose cannon and sooner or later she will have some effect, even if she is just another BR teacher she will hardly be so harmless

about the pink rose for now has gone quite well, but Nicole and even more so Lily, are too close to the BR dynamics to be of no consequence.

I think to myself so Casiope is right in some ways. If the MC is DIK by affinity, it doesn't matter if he fucks around with others because Jill, Josy and Maya will reject the MC. If the MC takes it too far, sooner or later Sage and Isabella will also leave the MC alone.

But the players who want a pure porn game will probably be happy with the Others branch and the only consequence there will be is that the MC won't get a Li.

You are actually describing the view of an adult game with sexual content. Of course the side girls and fooling around with them will bring consequences. A DIK MC doesn't care, but a CHICK MC not.

But affinity doesn't have much to do with how much Mc fuck around....
a Chick player is precluded from only Quinn, the restaurant and the beginning with Nicole are single major DIK-type choices, which might be the exception in a CHICK path, however

the point is that except for the occasional episode in the early chapters (I'm thinking of the bathroom adventures with Mona and Camilla or Sara and Melanie) every other relationship will take its toll, not with all LIs, but with some it is likely

I don't see these areas of impunity, of free rein in BADIK.

on the discourse of players who choose others, they play BADIK exactly like those who make any other choice, only they are looking, at least in that run, for something different, but it is the same difference between those who choose Sage or Bella or M&J or Jill. different flavors of the same ice cream shop

The benefit of having already eight episodes hints on how DrPinkCake is creating Being a DIK. We know that he loves the scoring system, whether for Hell Week or for getting points with Bella, but (and here I agree with Ename) that he takes care not to display the relationship points nor to warn of consequences.

An imperfect playthrough does not mean failure because there is a margin of error and appreciation left to the player. Only characters who are in direct opposition (Jill / Quinn, Maya and Josy / Jade, Isabella / Cathy, etc.) are mutually exclusive. But given the number of girls, breakups remain limited, although not always predictable.

I doubt that it will be necessary to multiply the games beyond the choice imposed during the crossroads because the temptation of a pornographic game is to diversify the scenes. It is conceivable that the creator will radically change his way of writing so that the main character's only interest will now be his girlfriend, but this romantic ideal never existed in the first two seasons. DrPinkCake has let us enjoy some cheating provided they are not significant enough.

Why play against the title?
The title is BaDIK.
who cares to being a pussy-CHICK? :cool:
Personally for me understand DIK and CHICK a little differently. A DIK is for me a teenager and CHICK an adult.

The MC himself said in his speech from EP5 that college is actually meant to mature from a teenager to an adult. Jacob said a little later to the MC why it took so long for him to become an adult. So for me personally, the goal setting is clearly defined.

When the MC comes to B&R he is either DIK, NEUTRAL or CHICK. If he continues to be a DIK what Jacob said will happen. "Why it took so long for him to grow up." He will become a Massive DIK. This implies to me that something dramatic could happen to the DIK MC.

In contrast, a NEUTRAL or CHICK MC at the end of EP8 is also a DIK, only more moderate. He also parties but can still behave and when he is drunk funny shit will happen.

But everyone should play BaDIK the way he personally wants.
