VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[ModiThorrson]

One of my main complaints at this point is how schizophrenic Massive DIK MC is on the Sage Path.

He mocks Jamie for growing plants, but then wants to be all New Age Sensitive Man with Sage and talk about her feelings.

Well, it's fairly common for immature guys to act like a dik around their friends, but act like a person around their girlfriends. So it's not really all that weird.

Yeah, he's a hypocrite. The MC in this game can never truly be what you would assume being a 'DIK' stands for. His writing is inconsistent with it and he's still a very emotional guy even if you try to play as a Massive DIK. The funniest thing are the main girls falling all over him for it, admiring his emotional openness every time he repeats the "I'm following my heart" thing. It's more so that the MC is actually authentically a CHICK and either partially denying it (DIK), or admitting that he truly is a CHICK and trying to embrace that (CHICK). To me, NEUTRAL is the best balance that you can attain as far as what really suits the MC's actual genuine personality goes.

Yeah I think if we give the benefit of the doubt to the writing, it is down to the fact that MC has been a CHICK up to the point the game starts. He was that way in all flashbacks. So if he is becoming a DIK in game, then he is still in the process of changing or faking it until he makes it.

Laugh all you want, but gamingdevil800 and godkingxerxes did warn us. I can see what they say could be true.

The only way for Josy to seek redemption is for all the Diks to run a train on her.

Does Tommy go first or last?

Well that's how he was potrayed by dpc

Could be an interesting new project in 2035. But then there would have to be a canon ending for BADIK. Even with a breakup to free up MC, I assume the ex would be in the game somewhere. I suppose another option would be one of the other DIKs. I could see Jacob being an art professor. He seems reasonably popular enough (although with a few haters) to build a game around. Or Rusty perhaps being likeable enough.

Not necessarily. There's a game on here that had a sequel, (I believe it's called the writer or something) which had a sequel and the mc from the first game was a supporting character and they let the player pick the LI that he had in the previous game when he did appear.

Yeah a single scene like that would work if it followed someone else. But if we were following MC as the idea above suggested would be really hard to start a game with a bunch of branching options for all the original LIs.

Here's my idea on why that's so:

Given that Patrick reacted negatively towards their relationship, they've both been dealing with the fear of being found out, which has left them little room to be in depth with each other. This is the obvious factor that puts quite a bit of strain on their relationship.

Their talk in episode 6 shows that they do have a solid foundation in their relationship, which is why I believe their relationship is stronger than they give it credit for.

If Patrick wasn't such a problem, I have no doubt in the world their bond would be a whole lot stronger.

Personalty I think blaming Patrick is just the easy way out. From what the game shows Josy and Maya relationship is weak and at times a toxic one. Patrick isn't there 99.998% and yet they don't work on their side of the relationship which in their own words isn't in a good place "things don't just get good. We have a lot of work to do".. "and we doing it". well if that last part was true Maya wouldn't had said what she did in ep10. When we see all three together they are great together and things are great but that is only haft of the relationship and I feel like a lot of people over look that fact. They blame Patrick for there problems but it looks more like they found someone they love more, MC.

What do you think about these pictures in Maya's room, dalli_x ?

update this year or nah?

Assuming we can give a consistent meaning to CHICK and DIK: would it be typical chick behavior to beat up other students and risk being expelled and spend evenings smoking and drinking?

To be honest,
That's a pretty sub-par troll attempt.

My own honest reaction from that was something like this

I came up with it extemporaneously since I saw the pictures on the wall during a free roam event as I'm doing another playthrough right now. Couldn't help but think that dalli_x might be able to establish a theory about them being of Josy and Maya because there are pictures of a brunette and blonde woman together in that collage.

using word of the day?

 

[L1m1tl3ss]

using word of the day?

What? If you meant why I used the word "extemporaneously", I thought that it means the same as "spur of the moment" for example. There's a word in my native language that's very close to it which essentially means the same thing, hence why I assumed it's what it meant. It probably originates from Latin or something but it's pretty commonly used here.

That's pretty much exactly what it means.

Well from the very start the both of them said that there relationship is complicated. I also agree with you that blaming Patrick is the easy way out. He is not there all the time. He cannot guard Maya 24/7. They could have work there relationship and find a solution to there problem. There relationship is build on weak foundation and mc is the only thing that support this. I mean in my personal opinion MJ will break up in all path.

And it not like they can only meet in Maya's room they got MC's room or Josy's there no reason for them not to meet yet they aren't.

just missing with you

They are meeting up constantly and getting jiggy. It's just not being shown in the game.
