And not every first grader does well with it. Because some minds don't work that way. But they do work....it's basic 1st grade math.
granted, dereks a dumbass, but hes all heart. he does well at the old folks home, and at the end of ep10 we learn he doesnt want to be at college, hes there for maya. the mc then tells derek that he can still be there for maya but needs to find his own path. knowing all of this makes me wonder why you would say, "certainly not derek"? in my opinion, he would be top of the list in this scenario.Patrick can't be arrested, his plot armor is Helen, if Patrick went to jail who would take care of her? certainly not Derek.
im not sure i agree with this. attend an addiction meeting and you will find that a very common catalist is partying to try and forget or ignore trauma. its that pain that allows them to blow past any limit they previously had.DPC trapped himself into creating some grim cliffhangers at the end of ep10, because whatever he chooses to do, it still won't go along with alcohol, sex and partying.
I hate Derek, but condemning him at the age of 20 to give up partying and fun to look after his infirm mother is a sentence I wouldn't wish on him anywaygranted, dereks a dumbass, but hes all heart. he does well at the old folks home, and at the end of ep10 we learn he doesnt want to be at college, hes there for maya. the mc then tells derek that he can still be there for maya but needs to find his own path. knowing all of this makes me wonder why you would say, "certainly not derek"? in my opinion, he would be top of the list in this scenario.
i didnt argue if pat would go to jail or not, just that derek would be an obvious option to care for her in that senario.(still do)I hate Derek, but condemning him at the age of 20 to give up partying and fun to look after his infirm mother is a sentence I wouldn't wish on him anyway
but then it would be an overly dramatic situation, where Maya would look selfish and ready to sacrifice her brother.
as long as Helen is alive, Patrick will not go to jail
but how many college students out of 100 do you think WANT to study? if it's half, it's a miraclei didnt argue if pat would go to jail or not, just that derek would be an obvious option to care for her in that senario.(still do)
but to your point here, derek doesnt want to be at the college, does love his mom, and shes on her way out, we are likely talking a matter of months. the way you describe it seems way to harsh. i think the truth is that your hate for derek stopped you from being objective in your original post. and thats ok, we can agree to disagree. i was just offering a different view point to a hypothetical situation that you brought up. cheers
Thanks mate, I know now I won't miss any scenes once I could power through the whole thing 3 more times. (waaay too many replays)
ok......where the fuck are people getting the console commands from. unlike many here, im barely computer literate. RayD has taken pitty on me a couple times with basics(RPjosy=, money=, pp_party) but is there a full list somewhere?Mate, just open the console and type "minigames = False". No need to redo your routes unless you want it for other reasons. And you can turn 'em back on too (just type "minigames = True"). And it won't break your game because it's undetectable.
There are answers, and partial answers, to some of those questions already given in the game as of ep 10.So what's this? It's just a post-update list of what we know and what we don't know, starting from Episode 5.
What makes you say it wasn't voluntary? The way Bella explains the situation it can go both ways really.
- What's the deal with Bella and James? He’s gone missing. Wasn’t voluntary.
isa "And James...he's... He's been missing for a long time now."
isa "He - *Breathes heavily* - left and *Breathes heavily*. I didn't want him to leave, and they said he could still be alive, but..."
isa "No one knows where he is."

It is more about proficiency. Especially in situations that are more complex than 2+2=.This is math...
And "=" is like kinda universal... Even the guys who bombed in my school math classes knew what "=" meant... I think this is Kindergarten level of knowledge... It's like "A", "B", or "C" that even people who don't know how to read probably know what they mean...
Yes, but inability to cope kicks in far before most people get within a few miles of that.This is programming syntax I don't expect people to know:
Code:push@a,/./g;$r||=@a}{print$s{-1+map{$u{$_}||=$a[$_]+$s{$g-1}for grep$a[$_]*!$s{$_},$g+$r,$g-!!($g%$r),$g-$r*($g>=$r),++$g*!!($g %$r);($g)=sort{$u{$a}-$u{$b}}keys%u;$s{$g}=delete$u{$g}}@a}
This is me right nowMr. Bubu's Visual Walkthrough has most of them listed. But this one I discovered inspecting a saved file on thisYou must be registered to see the links. Having a basic knowledge of Ren'Py commands also help, but, to check variables, just type the name hereof in the console and it'll output its status; to change it, type "{name of variable} = {value you want}". "True" and "False" are case-sensitive. To enable the console, just create a file with whatever name you want, but with a .rpy extension (for instance, "console.rpy") and put it in your game folder with the code below (spaces matter -- every new line adds 4 spaces):
Python:init -1: python hide: config.developer = True
Then, press "shft+O" and, voilà, you have your console enabled.
(This works for most games and not only BaDIK, though, sometimes, you have to change the init value.)
You can check other variables with thisYou must be registered to see the links. Scripts for BaDIK are mostly in the "scripts.rpa" or "scripts_season2.rpa" packages (.rpa are like .zip files wherein many files are packaged inside, the code files are either .rpy or .rpyc, the latter being the compilated version of the former.)
Other fun things you can do in the console:
Let's say you like minigames a lot, especially the "Clean the Pink Rose Label":

Now you can play it whenever you want! Just open the console and type:
Python:jump ep7_pr_clean1_label
... and, voilà, you're ready to entertain yourself!
(This works for any scene that has a label in it; you just have to look at the code, find the label, and type "jump {label name}".)
Now... Those are mostly for memes but entertaining nonetheless. You can make any character say whatever you want, like this:
View attachment 3224337
The perfectionist way is to find the appropriate character code (in the example above, it was "ta"), and then, for instance, you type:
Python:ta "Hmm... It smells like ass... I like it!"
And, voilà, Tara will obey your commands and say whatever you want her to say. The list of characters is in separate script files inside the .rpa packages called "characters.rpyc" (two files) and "characters_season2.rpyc" (the most complete is the Season 3 one), but you can just type any name between quotes and it will work (though it will use the standard color):
Python:"Tara" "Hmm... It smells like ass... I like it!"
You can also create fake menus, like the one below:
View attachment 3224340
Though similar to the one in the game, this menu is fake because you can never have all the options. To create it, just type:
Python:menu: "Isabella": pass "Jill": pass "Josy & Maya": pass "Sage": pass "Others": pass "I don't wanna choose! Fuck DPC!" if False: pass
Now, the trick. The console is just for one-line commands. To create a menu like this, type one line (for instance, "menu:") and press enter. Every time the console finds a ":", it will change the prompt to "..." and will create the indentation (the spaces) for you. Then, just type the following line (for instance, "Isabella:"; no need to add spaces, because, as I said, the indentation was created for you) and press enter again. It will create another indentation and, then, if you want to create a fake menu, just type "pass" (a command that does nothing but has to be there, otherwise, you'll get an error). Then press enter two times to create another option (the first time, you create a new line to add another command in case you need it; the second, you go back to the menu block, aligned with "Isabella:", so you can add another option, for instance, "Jill". In the last line, you have to press enter three times.
The "if False" at the end of the last option is to create a disabled option. For you to see it, you have to type "config.menu_include_disabled = True".
And that's all for "Hacking Ren'Py Games in Real Time 101". Next episode there'll be a minigame about it in the form of a test.
as long as DPC doesn't decide to do something stupid like increasing the development time to 1.5 years.January 1st. Only 12 more months until the next update.
It's practically here already.
I can't contain my excitement!!
