We'll just see about that bitch
Jillybean, you're normally such a cool guy. Why would you be a total piece of shit all of a sudden?

I'm wondering the same.

 

[TonyMurray]

I think there's a mistake in the dialog. The word “paradigm” is quite scientific, the first time I've seen the term “ paradigm shift of relationship” was in The Big Bang Theory, which was used by scientists to talk to each other, whereas Penny had never even heard of it.
Quinn is a sadistic drug dealer who has no interest in learning. How did she know about that word? She doesn't read books, she doesn't take classes. She could have said not relationship paradigm but for example relationship model, I don't know why DPC messed up the dialog like that.
Anyway, DPC actually needs a screenwriter a lot more than you think. There is a lot of poorly written dialog in the game that destroys the scene.

Well, people pick things up from all different places. There's nothing to say that Quinn could not possibly know the word, that's just ridiculous. Hey, maybe she even heard it on an episode of The Big Bang Theory?

It's just completely wrong to suggest that only scientists or people of other "high-intellect" courses or professions will know certain words. It's not as if it's something that's generally restricted to a particular, niche area of study, like "spondylosis" or something (and to demonstrate the point, I'm not a scientist and I've never studied bone degeneration, but I know the word "spondylosis").

Now I understand where the title of episode 11 came from.

You're really overstating how niche the phrase "paradigm shift" is. I won't say it's common everyday talk, but it's not strictly scientific jargon. And Big Bang Theory is your evidence? Geez.

But I will agree he needs someone to help with fixing dialogue.

Well, a little history...
One day, a guy was late for a picnic with Jill.
After that, she told him to fuck off.
The guy got really upset, has gone rogue, and eventually messed up.
His name was Vinny.
But here he is known as JillybeanEnjoyer.

Damn, now he really needs to die

 

[Crusader of Romance]

He does that when he's drunk or high.

That explains so much.

Don't play dumb, you sent me the update early. I just had to let everyone know ahead of time, so that they know what to expect.

Surrre... I'M definitely the liar here, DrPinkSpock...

It's just completely wrong to suggest that only scientists or people of other "high-intellect" courses or professions will know certain words.

There is also the fact quinn has displayed high levels of intellect throughout the game, she is a chess player, obviously both the game and in real life, that is her chess like attitude towards, the drugs, vinny, the restaurant etc. She's also in a higher education environment and, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, do we even know what she's studying?

Now I'm not saying playing chess and being in Uni is a sign of the highest intellect ever. But to suggest Quinn has no business knowing that word is plain ignorant.

From what we have seen of her dad, it looked like something he would say. He seemed very philosophical.

Rio is dead.

I angered him, by shitting on Jill too much I bet SHE liked it, so now he's cuoming after my girl...

Very true. It's also used in philosophy and very much in marketing.

So you ruined it for everybody. Nice going.

The chess thing is also overstated, Quinn is not some Machiavellian genius, or even an above average strategist. She's mostly street smart, but not great at anticipating how people will react when she keeps pushing them (Tommy, Maya, Mona, Vinny etc)

That phrase is completely out of character for Quinn. First of all, it's a difficult word, and Quinn is a drug addict and a drug dealer. She may simply not know it, and nowhere in the game does it say she likes to read magazines. Second, this is a mistake in the construction of dramatic dialog. When people are arguing/emotional they will never say such long sentences and complicated phrases, they will say whatever comes to mind.

She proberbly learned most from her dad and he looked like someone who would use words like that. For all we know, he had a good education before becoming a drug addict and ending up in the slums. But I agree that she doesn't understand it as good.

Your logic doesn't track. You're suggesting that someone doesn't read magazines because it doesn't tell us in the game that she likes to read magazines? And you're saying she may not know this word... well, she clearly does know it, because it tells us in the game that she knows it. And she uses it in the right context. People are not just black and white, you'd be surprised at what people know that you wouldn't have expected them to know. If she knows the word and its meaning, there's no reason that she wouldn't use it, regardless of the circumstance, if the context fits.

And suggesting that because someone is a drug addict and dealer means they can't know "long and complicated phrases" (and it wasn't really long or complicated), is very narrow minded. Have you ever seen Breaking Bad? Or any of a host of other drug-themed shows or movies? Some incredibly intelligent people are drug addicts and dealers...

Well it's as I said playing chess is not the gold standard of high intellect. While I agree she's not some proffessor Moriarty criminal master mind and is actually quite out of her depth. She's obviously got a somewhat intellectual mind to be at least be play the game. (to be fair that could be bollocks too as do we actually know if she's any good)

My point was there is simply no reason to think quinn doesn't have the intellect to know the word paradigm

In badik's world, with the intellectual level of the good guys, the Beagly Boys would be the kings of crime. It's all shifted to a 2-digit IQ

 

[Bootyman92]

• Mona's return: Why would she return? You don't just quit college and then come back, once you've quit, it's fucking over, so no.

Mona doesn't have to return through B&R. Like Cathy, we could possibly run into her and if you're on an Others path, you may get the option to spend some time with her.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

While I'm not the biggest Thruple fan so my opinion may be biased so to speak. I've never really understood why people seem to think Maya and Josy are good together. Both of them are into MC more than they are the other, both of them cheated with MC before the Thruple situation started. Both of them seem to get jealous when MC spends more time with the others. There's foundations laid for that Thruple to end and only one of the pair remain with MC.

Their relationship is more of an accident than a "destiny". Both young, not very experienced and trying girl -girl relationship maybe for the first time.Tremolo can work both ways here.
As a stabilizing factor: to reconcile them when a conflict is brewing, pay equal attention to each girl and make Throuple successful, going through the brewing crisis of their relationship. Or to intensify the conflict, paying attention to only one and gently pushing towards a breakup. Each of the girls will get a solo route, I have no doubt about it.
