He was feeling upset that much we gathered by his thoughts at the end when he was thinking if he should trust them again or not I think he has rushed in with that and simply just needs to think this situation through with Maya and Josy

I can understand there isn't enough room for three people but if the MC had good relations with both girls I think there should of been a friendlier exit. If given the choice I would have given Josy and Maya a high five and maybe with Josy's help finish the rest of Maya's checklist. ;)

Thing is, there's a lot to be said for "artistic integrity." I know there's a lot of disdain for people who "sell out." You had an idea for a thing, then people told you that your idea sucked, it wasn't going to work and you changed everything. And that's looked down upon. I understand that.

But at the same time, history is full of people who thought they, and only they, knew what they were talking about when it comes to writing a story or directing a movie or painting a portrait or what have you. And there is such a thing as ignoring useful criticism. Which, in my opinion, can be just as bad as "selling out."

I've gone on record as saying that I think Cake is good at certain aspects of storytelling. Like, genuinely good, I'm not bullshitting when I say it. But I've also gone on that very same record as saying there are some things he doesn't do well. And I think his sort of odd fascination with "dramatic twists" is one of those things. And it certainly doesn't help that there's a growing trend of that sort of thing in today's entertainment media, with people just kind of blindly eating it up. I don't think he's quite drifted over the line into "being edgy" for the sake of being edgy - as in creating melodrama just to spice things up a little, but I can't help but just be wary of every narrative decision he makes because I'm constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I remember playing AL and thinking "Why will this lunatic miss a guy who's mostly been in a coma and barely spoke to her? Well, porn logic!" I was so very wrong.

Obviously the man doesn't have every single line of dialogue written before hand, but it's fair to assume his stories are mapped out from the start and while I'm a firm believer of the Eisenhower doctrine (Plans are worthless, but planning is everything), I'd like him to stick to the drawn pathway, even if it takes me somewhere I'm not particullary fond off.

In fact, the one writting aspect of AL that felt wrong to me was Rena ending with either MC or Liam, as I didn't see any build up to it at all.

That's why the announcement of his last Patreon goal got me a little uneasy. It's easier to go against your audience's desires when your bills don't relly on them.

So, if you guys could all unsupport DPC and keep him just in the 2490-2495 patreons range, that'd be great! ;)

For a dorm room, it actually looks pretty spacious plenty of room for 3 to at least sleep remember the MC woke up under his bed :LOL: and that space in between the beds is enough for a person to lie down but I guess the MC had to go cool down for a bit.

Anyway, if anything, that cements my belief that something horrific is going to happen. I feel like at this point, the man can't help himself.

Lets hope you are wrong. I sure do. I'd prefer something less hammer-ish of a drama. There are so many ways to be dramatic beside killing off important characters. Especially main ones. One's second title doesn't have to copy his first. Similarities hail from the fact that its the same person directing it but similarities can stop there.

I prefer not to take the usage of copy-paste button for granted. Captain obvious tells that we will find out if i was an optimist or idealist at later chapters.

Well if we wanted to do it like a chinese message parlor and pack them side by side sure it's enough space but not really comfortable though. And just out of respect for Tommy, I won't sleep with his sister again until AFTER I'm officially a Dik.(y)

Yeah. When I did a summer scholarship in Japan waaay back when, I hosted a party for 25 in a dorm room half that size. Anything is possible if the mind is willing :LOL:

Really you wouldn't? do you think it would have consequences?

Yeah, I don't mind fighting Tommy but since he is your "father" it would be better to save that argument until after you are voted in the Diks. Besides that's why I have Sage to keep me busy.

So, being squeezed between Maya & Josy is uncomfortable? :unsure:
Click to expand...
No, but having lived with roommates in real life, all the shoes, clothes and bags these girls carry nowadays it could easily get overcrowded. Josy is going to need her own closet plus more for all her girl stuff, and I know you saw them heavy 1940s luggage bags she was carrying.

I just hope the disclaimer in the beginning means we have the choice to do some fucked up shit. Something like tricking Derek and Maya into having sex with each other. Though I guess patreon's rules wouldn't allow that, but you get the gist of what I'm saying.
