VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[ProxyGist]

Well. It's not about the past. How it was before and making an assumptions based on this and if it wasn't happened before then it will not happen now. And, technically, EP9 was exactly met this criteria. Someone expected at least something after the party but it ended together with the party.

If you making such assumption, then you probably expecting the episode to come further than Thanksgiving party and apropriate calendar day, which is unlikely. We are starting at the morning after the Halloween (last day of October - first day of November) while Thanksgiving day fluctuating usually in mid of 20 of November. It's more than 3 weeks. And we have a confirmation regarding back to classes and other events in college.

The most likely scenario is that we either spend a week in college (as it was in almost all previous episodes) and then time accelerates or there is a sharp jump to Thanksgiving. Or now the episodes will be made in such a way that we will play not by day basis, but through important scenes, classes and other events such as small parties with a time skip like a 2-3 days between them. In such case, it can do without a 1.5-2 week jump in time. But if you assume that everything will not end with Thanksgiving and a party in his honor, then you expect at least a few more days after this event. And if I'm not confusing anything - the DPC said that this party is the biggest free-roam event in the game and it happens at the end of the episode. I.e. this does not cancel any other free-roam events taking place before this party, as well as other parties.

There are no Josy in the tent. It's her & Heather room in the HOT's mansion.

1. It looks like a "date" or a romantic night with her, whatever. Let's stick to "spending time with girl". We seen Sage in restaurant, Riona in gaming room, etc. While same thing with Maya will probably take place in MCs room. On the "what branch will you play first?" banner there are clearly visible MCs gray couch on which Maya seats. And we also had a preview of Maya, when she came to MC with umbrella. Her hairstyle is the same and rainy autumn day is a perfect movies time (we know MC planned to invite her to watch some movies on his big TV).
2. If the camping and tents are all from the Thanksgiving party, then it should be considered as outdoor. Josy's new hairstyle is complicated and this is not something that is done in field outdoor conditions, in this case it is easy to assume why she is with her classic ponytail at this party.While Maya's new hairstyle just gives her a different look and doesn't look like a complicated styling.

There are only 2 confirmed previews and other renders from (probably) Thanksgiving party with girls in tents. With Maya and with Sage. No Josy, the only one preview with Josy on that party of her seating near MC while he plays on guitar.

I generally agree, but I still think that that render of Josy was not done in Heather's room. First of all, you can't see Josy's metal bed and headboard. Well, secondly, very questionable meaning. Why would there be a need to cover the bed or the walls with pillows? Even if Josy and MC wanted to create a romantic tent atmosphere, there just isn't enough room for two and the whole structure is pretty flimsy. And besides in that render there's a garland of little lights coming from somewhere above.
It looks more like an attic or some abandoned house where MC went to spend the night. The floor is cold and the walls are blowing out so they've covered the walls with pillows.
Maybe it's not a tent, but it could be Josy's dad's house that MC and Josy wanted to visit.

It's also commonly thought to be Heather's room because of the color of the walls. But the same walls are in other rooms in the DIK mansion (like the basement). So we can also assume that Josy is temporarily living in the basement.
By the way, the banner shows Josy lying on the MC's bed with the same hairstyle and bra as in the preview. And Maya is lying on a sheet somewhere in nature judging by the background. So it's more likely that the preview is of the DIKs mansion than anything else.

The MC isn't a lil bitch.

BaDiK main lil bitches:
1. Tybalt
2. Tommy
3. Vinny
4. Dawe

I might've missed some. But those are the mains. Yes, you can make the MC a lil bitch, but that is player controlled. Which can mean two things:

1. The player is a lil bitch. (Joking. Or am I? )
2. The player is doing a Chick/Pussy playthru.


Just how I view it. My opinion may differ from others and that's ok. Differing opinions is a good thing. Unless it's in the political arena, which usually starts a war.

I don't understand the hatred for Tybalt. I feel genuinely sorry for him. Dude literally gets kicked and humiliated every scene, laughed at by his own sister.
Yes, Tybalt is an arrogant asshole, but he's a coward and just plain pathetic, and you don't make fun of and bully people like that.
I'm sure behind his image of an arrogant cowardly guy hides a bunch of complexes, from insecurity to the Oedipus complex.

In the attached archive it is the 102-6-LT1.save file; the one named "Dik Hots and Sides".

Spoiler: Screenshot of Load Game page 102

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I didn't make these saves (I just moved them from page 2 to page 102 by changing the first number in the file name, to avoid conflict with my previous saves).

I don't remember the user who firstly shared these. I couldn't find their post since the "find" function on the forum sucks, so I just reuploaded the copy I downloaded month ago.

thx appriciate it

Hard to tell if you don't share the error message.

There should be a file named traceback.txt in the base directory (the directory in which the executable is).

(Maybe I won't be able to help you even once I see that file, but maybe someone will be able. Without it... nobody can guess)

I have same problem, but there is no traceback file in base directory


here is log file though, crashes after loading any save posted here, versions match, it happens in cutscene between tommy and jackob

Even behind his image, he is still fucking coward and asshole.

he is an arrogant prick with a golden spoon up his ass.
the only dude i feel sorry for in this game is troy.

Yep, Tybalt it's just a caricature character for laugh and player whipping doll (people like Tybalt exist IRL) The main scumbags are most likely Stephen Burke and Vinny. But it could also be some shadow character not represented at the moment.

Maybe DPC doesn't like arrogant, elitist, rich narcissistic snobs who consider themselves the center of the universe? Although wait, one minute...DPC doesn't love himself?

First timer to this game, trying to understand if I install S3, does it automatically come with S1 or S2, or each one is a separate apk? What are the pros and cons of installing s1/2 separately VS part of Season 3?

you gotta install s1&2 first, complete it, and then transfer save into s3

Need to install latest scrappy mod since the saves wont work otherwise ;_)

 

[dalli_x]

I don’t understand any of this shit.
MC fucks anything that moves or doesn’t move, moves and fucks.
Even after the 8th episode, after choosing the only LI, he after a while begins to fuck left and right again.
So I don’t see any problem with other girls doing the same ( I mean, all the girls and the main LI and the minor ).
It’s totally hyper-selfish.

There's a word for that. Karma. DIK Tommy cheats and is cheated. JB doesn't cheat and is rewarded with threesome sex by Elena. Good karma and bad karma.

I completely agree with you. If the MC fucks around like a mad dog, he shouldn't be surprised if his chosen LI did the same or rejects the MC.

In EP9 Rusty got his karma. He fucked around a lot and he didn't get the girl, Micha, that he wanted.

 

[JJ1960]

There's a word for that. Karma. DIK Tommy cheats and is cheated. JB doesn't cheat and is rewarded with threesome sex by Elena. Good karma and bad karma.

Tommy cheated with Tania and was rewarded with a three-way by Heather with Tania. That's some shitty instance of karma.

 

[dalli_x]

I dunno dude, look closely at her expressions:

Josy's face when the mc says he is exhausted with the girls:
View attachment 3117787

Josy's face when the mc starts revealing to Maya that he and Josy fucked:
View attachment 3117786

Josy's face when he addresses her directly:
View attachment 3117790

The picture immediately above is not a "questioning" look; she's clearly in mental panic mode when she looks at him. She was really unprepared for the mc to drop this bomb.

The first picture shows panic after saying "Oh my GOD".

The second image is the anxious one questioning himself. "What do I do now, what should I say?"

In the last picture, when the MC speaks to Josy again, Josy doesn't know what could come next. That's why it's more of a questioning facial expression, with a touch of fear, because Josy doesn't know what else the MC could say. "Oh my God, what else?" What's actually important in the last picture is Maya's facial expressions, which you cut out. Maya's facial expressions clearly show that she knows what the MC is going to say to Josy and therefore she is just as guilty as Josy.

Dalli, you're gonna see what you wanna see, the rest of us see what's on the screen...

 

[Lovetities]

You are talking to dalli x, while his theories are cool but some of them are over the top. Like Quinn loving chick fuckface. This is still a pure male fantasy game and you literally play as the guy with biggest golden cock and attractive face and charm to woo girls. You can pretty much fuck anyone in the game. So, I don't know why people think that li will cheat on fuckface or even fuck other cuck npcs. At best, you will get bad karma and the li reject you or castrate your balls (if you are dating Bella/Sage).

Heather only like fuckface cause he is like Tommy and she was drunk. Not to mention the protagonist plot armour lmfao.

It's per season, just play them in order.

I'm sure behind his image of an arrogant cowardly guy hides a bunch of complexes, from insecurity to the Oedipus complex.

He's a slimey dirtbag. He blackmailed Jill just to try and get in her good graces aka her pants in hopes she would fall in love with him. But I don't hate him, I pity him. But he is a lil bitch.

 

[Bad Wolf]

Okay. I fixed the post.
The way I use a translator to write here.
I think he’s mistranslated.
I certainly don’t sell anything.
In fact, I don’t think Steam would allow that.
I wrote that there was a sale or something, like the first and second seasons were worth, translated into a dollar, which is about $7 each.

I just deleted my post. It clears the thread.

 

[bloodyasura]

Dalli, you're gonna see what you wanna see, the rest of us see what's on the screen...

In fact, most people see what they want to see.
And only a few people can see the truth.
That is human nature.

It's easy. You are wrong and I am not.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

It's easy. You are wrong and I am not.

There's an Ex-wives joke here, I can feel it.


I'd take a jab at it, but I think it would be too easy.
Someone else should grab that spotlight this time.
