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

[Tserriednich'sNen]

I don't even trust that, our MC is a guy who had no mother no friends growing up so his social skills are going to be underdeveloped, especially when it comes to two-faced bastards, something I believe Tommy to be. The kids who were shown to bully him at least had the common decency to be upfront about it, they didn't try to manipulate him.

Is it clear that I don't like him? As a kid, growing up on the spectrum at a time when people didn't know that was a thing, I had to deal with Tommy's; thankfully I had a couple of friends who protected me from them because it took me to adulthood to learn to spot those people.

That's not some long standing tradition, the Diks have been around for, what, 3 years at this point? Is it really so hard to believe that some members actually give zero fucks about the code, and that those members would, if they had seniority, change the rules on a whim just to fuck with someone?

Tommy maybe a huge dickhead but actually seems to care about the DIK's tradition just like Rusty.

Just to be clear, I'm not against the MC becoming part of the DIK fraternity, I'm just saying that it doesn't necessarily have to happen this early.

Yes, the game is called "Being a DIK", but it doesn't mean you have to be part of the fraternity for the majority of the game, especially when the MC doesn't seem to want it that much. Having him go on a journey in this story where he really learns the value of being part of the fraternity and actually wants it would make it so much more rewarding.

"Being a DIK" could also be a metaphorical title, where it's not so much about joining a fraternity frivolously, but understanding what it means to be part of a brotherhood and finding your place in it, thus giving that jacket much greater symbolism.

If we get it in ep 5, fine, I've got no problem with that, but not getting in wouldn't be the end of the world especially if it becomes something that's more meaningful as the game progresses.



True, but remember how the MC remarked about the DIKs having "an uneven pairing" when talking to Nick at the Pink Rose? Maybe Tommy said that to them as motivation but will pull a 180 at the evaluation and tell them that only one will be accepted and that they will become Nick's maggot brother.

If we don't get in this episode 5 he might as well made a dating simulator game and leave out all those frats tbh

But im not gonna discuss it even more this discussion has been talked to death

Lets just agree to disagree and lets see what happened in ep 5 to see whats up

DIKs having "an uneven pairing" is because Nick's magots brother left college and with it the fraternity.
The main weakness of not joining DIK in episode 5 would be that we would still go around on the same topic. Without proper story development.

It was uneven because his maggot brother flunked out of college. They were still accepted into the DIKs together as a pair as tradition dictates. Accepting only one to make him Nick's brother makes no sense as Nick is a 3rd year. Pairing him with a freshman breaks tradition and also doesn't solve the problem as the Freshman will be w/o a brother when Nick graduates.

Agreed. It's a new season, needs a new season arc, not the same arc again.

There's the third possibility that 'Being a Dik' actually means being a dick, something which most people regard as a bad thing, and that the real lesson being taught here is to form your own brother/sisterhood from the people who who genuinely care about, flaws and all. That fact that, for a certain kind of man, being called a chick would also be seen as pejorative; the best path is not one pre-selected by DPC and is instead the one that best aligns with the choices you would make if you were in the MCs place.

 

[michael1984]

DPC clearly is telling his own story and wont change that for anyone

So everyone prepare to get ur dik jacket on

And have a freaky party with strippers and fingers crossed handful of hots

if that party wont happen I am thinking jocks beat down

I agree and here's the thing, I like DPCs writing enough to trust that, even if he(?) does something with a character which I personally dislike, it will make more than enough sense for me to go with it. Hell, I've been with this game since Ep2 despite not a hint of a trans girl (and I don't want one in this story, our MC is too much of an innocent)

Hopefully he can give us choices and tell his story as we write it ourselves, thats why BADIK is light years ahead as most VNs go.

Anyway, 6 months was too long, way too long of a wait, althought I know its worth the wait. But I know its a longer update and there's a shift of .exe that need extra work for season 2, and hopefully with Steam versions being done DPC can take out 1 or 2 months for EP6... because damn, I seriously cant wait any longer.

I mean dpc already gives us two choices in alignment and 3 choices in wich path to take so I say dpc gives u already a lot off choices to choose from..


As for the long wait of the game … the game originally had a wait time around 2 to 3 months …. caus of the 3 pathway situation and he had to do some stuff for steam as well made this update go into 5 months

for dpc to come back down in wait time he would need to either stop with the 3 paths or make a decrease in material we get each update and i dont see either happen

for most that been around since ep 1 the wait is pretty normall ... but have to agree this time it feels a bit too long

I almost spit my drink out over the keyboard bro

But instead of chad we probally facing off against that new jock recruit that big freak looking one

still outcome will be the same finish him... FATALITY

 

[KinkierThanThou]

Guys, this is an old discussion from the very beginning of this thread. The point was valid about the sexual assault, it was never added as a tag and it should have been. Yes, it's fictional porn logic, i'm quite certain we can all agree on that but it does not change the fact of it being viewed as sexual assault to some people. Lets not rehash this after all this time though, it's stuff like this that catches the ire of the mods.

I would assume that part of a Mod's

It doesn't rhyme. All decent predictions rhyme.

Lockdown alcohol consumption is affecting my memory but do we know that the big freak looking dude is joining the jocks? I'd love it if he was a D&G playing nerd who got jacked to protect his fellow geeks

Its not that much of a prediction as it is a truth tho

Either this is a troll post or you're one of those speed readers.

There's an uneven number of DIK's because Nick's buddy & maggot bro Vinny left the school. Nick is a full fledge member of the DIK's, the first ones after Rusty & Tommy started the DIK's. MC nor Derek can't become his "maggot brother" seriously bro c'mon.

Ah, I tend to skim read the Rooster app, only paying attention to the MC's messages and replies.

You really should look a bit more closer to that rooster app its pretty funny im sure u will enjoy it

But yeah that big freak is with the Jocks hence why people including myself think he will be the next opponent for a brawler opponent. in a jock and dik confrontation that possibly happen at ep 5 depending if the HOTS went to the jocks or preps
