It doesn't mean what you think it means. I used to work with a writer who was, on the side, a professional wine taster. When professionals go to wine tastings, after tasting the wine, they spit it out. Otherwise, they would get really drunk and the value of their professional judgement would be 'wasted.' If your very dirty mind was going somewhere else ... that's a completely different issue.

dude i know what it means, that's why it's funny :)
why would MC asked that question if he doesn't know what wine tasting is? :)

IDK man this is Doctor pinkcake he planted the seeds that Maya's dad is a psycho I could see one of them dying and you having to pick which one to save like in acting lessons.

My main hope is that accepting the offer from Quinn and once that blows up wont require me to reload a save near the beginning to undo that choice in order to stay and get a good ending with one of the main girls.

This isn't directed personally at you, but since you're the last one who brought it up, you get the mention and quote.

Can everyone give the Acting Lessons finale a break? If anything, DPC has demonstrated versatility in writing, meaning that they don't have to rely upon the same device necessarily for every single story. I mean come on, DPC is not Nicholas Sparks. Now if Derrick got into the DIK Fraternity and burned the house down while drunk, that may seem similar, but still would be a different scenario.

The hate for Maya and Josy in the last few days here is unreal. If you don't actively go after them and just go along with the forced story it shouldn't matter if they are together or not. If you are going after them while simultaneously taking every other girl you can get along the way and then complain about them betraying you or cheating on each other you are a hypocrite.

Both girls have been honest with the MC. Josy told him right away she is in a relationship. If you still go after her (and i mean go after the scenes with her) instead of just skipping them and just follow the forced story you are a cheater just like her.

Maya has been as honest as possible for her. She told you there are things that she can't tell you right away and needs time. If you still go after her scenes you accept that there maybe a rude awakening in the future. She was even going to tell the MC everything, but the narrative took that away from us and made it more complicated by a MC that runs away at the first sign of trouble.

It is pretty clear if you take your time to read the interactions that both girls are hurting either from a rocky relationship and/or family troubles. It's even clear that this is the exact reason why MC has the opportunity to get so close to them. If these kind of girls aren't your thing that's alright and there are a lot more options in the game. But the hate these two are getting is completely unjustified. You even have the opportunity to get all of this cleared up shortly before the end of episode 4 and start a relationship with both of them. Maybe you should have the opportunity to tell them off if you feel so strongly about, but i think that goes against what is planned for the rest of the game.

All in all i enjoy most of the girls in the game right now. Wether they have scenes or not. It's just a pick you poison type of deal, go for the girl you prefer. Personally my least favourite by far is actually Quinn, who is hyped up in here without end, just because i don't like people that fuck others over for their own gain or enjoyment. No matter how much she may be secretly in love with the MC.

But you know, you don't see me come here and piss on her every chance i get.

I don't get the amount of hate Josy and Maya are getting either. I thought the MC was being a drama queen and a hypocrete, when I was playing the update, but now I see it isn't just the MC.
I'm kinda glad the dev doesn't really go to this thread, because I don't want the whining about them "betraying" the MC and wanting to cut them out of the game and replace with someone else affect his intentions with the storyline. I mean, I don't mind adding new love interests for those who want it. If there are really many players who like Quinn, perhaps she should be availiable. Just don't do that at the expense of Josy and Maya.

There's also an option the hate is coming from players, who wanted one particular girl and didn't get that option, but well, firstly it could still happen in the future (ideally, everyone can get an option to their liking, Maya+Josy, only Maya and only Josy so that everyone would be happy), and to demand it right now isn't a reasonable thing to do, considering the nature of Maya and Josy's relationship.

I admit, back when I finished episode 3, I was pissed with the turn of event, but I though about it a little and figured out I'm not angry at the girls, it's just that the situation sucks and MC's part in it is no less than that of either of the girls. So when I actually played the episode 4, I was happy with how the situation was resolved.

Plenty of people that were disappointed over what happened between Josy and Maya. Hard one to get back from. I also were a fan of Josy, now I don't know tbh. Hopefully DPC can write some kind of redemption that make's sense. Still think there will be a solo route for M&J at some point, but this episode poisoned those characters for a lot of people, me included (not as definitive as for some, but still).

Pink doesn't care what other people think, he is creating his story the way he wants to and that's it.
If you don't like it, too bad then...

That's how he rolls :D

Thanks. I didn't want to download the files from the OP, since I didn't want my own save files to vanish, but copy-pasted the persistent file of my own 0.3.1 version into the directory you mentioned. That worked too. Thanks again for your help! :)

Well I only started playing yesterday and up to this point I'm fairly annoyed that I can't tell them to fuck off. Josy is just a cheating cunt, Maya demands a lot while giving nothing back (unless you count getting a fucking taser to your neck because of a girl you've known for 3 days), Sage is so aggressively stupid (I'm still baffled what the 'relationship' between her and Chad is, they don't have sex, they don't spend time with each other, he openly has something going on at the side, it's absolutely bizarre), Jills first important act is to outright ignore me and how I want to deal with my own situation so she can take matters in her own hands. All four of them just seem to try their very best at sabotaging the MC.
And you just can't get rid of them. I did not bring a gift for Josy, I did not spend the night, I did not say 'yes, I was waiting for somebody to show up with the rejects' and then she calls and the MC is telling me how he is all kinds of conflicted. No I'm not. Josy is a cheating bitch, I want nothing to do with her - just leave me be lol.

Haven't finished ep4 yet but I have to say it is a real shame that more or less, awesome, steamy sex with Quinn directly hinders progress with Maya and Josi paths. It's either Quinn or the girls...

Hmm for me Acting Lesson is DPC's preparation for Being A DIK .... and ii think the scenario that happen in Acting Lesson like "burning house" will never happen in this DIK .... becouse if "burning house" happen again in this game ... it means thats already predictable with audience ... and i know that DPC are the developer who like to give us surprise .... for example in this update ... i have no idea that Josy make interaction with Jill ... so in my opinion that will be more interesting encounter that will happen ..... oh man ... i cant wait for season 2 .... and also maybe DPC will need at least 3 season to complete this Being a DIK .... great job DPC
