Alright then. Since you've ignored my question the first time, I'll ask it again.

How the fuck was that a passive aggressive hissy fit? What in the world made you interpret it like that?
Because Maya is talking about her feelings, and upset with the MC that he doesn't recognize her feelings, when ostensibly she's apoligizing for her transgressions against the MC. It was all 'Oh but I felt this way, and you really really should be guilty for not recognizing how I feel when I was trampling all over your feeling and keeping things from you and leading you on because my girlfriend isn't here and I need someone to support me, until she comes back and then I can just throw you away'

That is not being passive aggressive.

" are those that involve acting indirectly aggressive rather than directly aggressive. Passive-aggressive people regularly exhibit resistance to requests or demands from family and other individuals often by procrastinating, expressing sullenness, or acting stubborn."

This more accurately describes the MC's behaviour in that scene than it does Maya's.

... where is this coming from?

All I remember was her being apologetic and begging MC to give her another chance, with tears in her eyes. And she ends all that with "I will always be here for you, if you'll let me". I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.

Where's the hissy fit? Where's the passive aggressive thing you keep mentioning in any of that?

Really, that's all you remember? That's the whole problem with these arguments. Selective memory and willful blindness. Read the part again where she talks about how she was going to tell the MC but that they were things she never told anyone, and how she felt about that. What was the name of that Episode again? 100% I wonder what that's a reference to? And see if you can answer this one yourself without windbags help.
At least make sure to quote the right person next time, will ya?

Yeah, she kept her secrets and she had her reasons for that. But that doesn't explain how anything she said in the gender studies class, was a passive aggressive hissy fit.

Trolls, don't make me laugh. You and your little group pounce on everyone on this thread that dares offer an opinion that you don't like. But just for the record, you tell me. What did Quinn mean by 'loose hips, get tips' and how could Maya not interpret that as selling sexual favors? Also how do you interpret Maya's response 'what do I have to do, exactly'? What does that mean?
We know what Quinn meant because we're privy to that information, but Maya doesn't. There is no way anybody could reasonably be expected to interpret that as, "I guess that means I have to whore myself out for money". For someone who doesn't know what Quinn is really up to, that would just seem like a playful, provocative comment that doesn't mean anything more. And Maya's question is simply asking what's required to get the free tuition and that could easily be something like "get a job and pay rent to the HOTs", or "do charity work", or literally anything except "whore yourself out for money" because there's now way she or anybody else would expect that to be what's required.

How exactly can someone who claims to be an investigator be this bad at understanding simple things? :ROFLMAO:

As someone who was never into Maya nor hating of her, so have little skin in the game. i really cannot see how her behaviour could ever be described as a hissy fit or passive aggressive.

Even if she took it as more than a throway comment she'd probably assume it as promoting promiscuity of the hots party sorority not making a bizarre leap to prostitution.

The only thing I know and believe is:

Not sure about anything in this game.And do not say that this event or behavior is possible or impossible.
This is not about game characters or character traits or the behavior of game characters.This is about the developer of this game.
The developer of this game has proven in the past that (he/she) is a very unpredictable And nothing is impossible from (her/him)."Acting Lessons"

I will not have any predictions about this game.I just hope the game developer does not repeat what (he/she) did in the previous game with the players and does not bring them to their knees again. . Do not get me wrong , I love that game (Acting Lessons) and I believe it is awesome . And this game developer(DrPinkCake) is awesome.

sorry about my English. English is not my native language

I think if this game was ultimately as good as Acting Lessons (which has its flaws anyway) we could all be satisfied

that same quality on a larger game would be very positive
and personally for now DPC is doing well

I can't believe you'd actually answer that "there's no way anybody could reasonably be expected to interpret that . . ." This is why I don't want to argue with you. You are either intentionally refusing to recognize the meaning of simple words, or you just honestly don't understand. Either way it's pointless to argue with you. But you just won't go away and let me chat with other people. We are not going to agree. And I'm getting tired of the personal attacks.
Because nobody would. Who in their right mind would ever expect sorority girls to have to whore themselves out in order to get a free ride with their tuition? It's a completely unreasonable expectation, and knowing that Quinn likes to be edgy and provocative, the only way anybody in that situation could possibly interpret her words are that Quinn is simply being Quinn and nothing more than that.

Also, if you want to "chat" with other people alone, send them a PM, because right now you're in a public thread and everything here is an open discussion that can be joined by anybody. Or better yet, why not go here and join all the other sourpusses.

Even if she took it as more than a throway comment she'd probably assume it as promoting promiscuity of the hots party sorority not making a bizarre leap to prostitution.
Exactly. It's an incredibly wild and unbelievable leap to expect Maya to interpret that line as meaning that she understands she has to whore herself out for the tuition. It's deliberately ambiguous as well as being in-line with Quinn's provocative nature that she could easily dismiss it as nothing more than a colourful turn of phrase.

Your English is just fine, don't worry about. Secondly, as someone who thought AL was average at best, we shall have to agree to disagree there.

Thus on that, DPC has made one game so there is no proof of anything. This comes up time and time again. One previous title is not proof of anything, no pattern, no particular style etc. If he had made 5 similar games, then yes but he hasn't.
I thought Acting Lessons was very promising. Despite the furore about the big choice my main issues were with how on the rails it was after that. So i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the final mile of DIK is not of the same pattern

Being "on rails" isn't something these games and VNs can really avoid because there generally has to be some level of a connective throughline. So while there may be options in what relationship(s) you can get involved in that determines who you end up with, these will just provide variety in an otherwise linear story.

What devs can do, however, is make certain things avoidable which is what the fundamental issue with AL was because we were all forced into that house fire and stalker Leah stuff, but if that had been avoidable through making different choices then perhaps the consensus of that game would have been better. This is where I hope DPC will do better, that if there is something tragic that could befall any of the main characters, that we can avoid it this time by making certain choices rather than be forced into it. I don't mind if the story follows a similar track, like getting roped into dealing with and ultimately dismantling Quinn's operation, so long as we have the option to not let something bad happen to a character and to the MC.

When I saw how many new pages the thread got since the last time I logged on my eyes lit up because I thought it had something to do with the weekly update. My imagination ran wild with the possibilities. What could it be? Is it a new preview that finally settles what the purpose of D&G will be in EP6? Did DPC release an animation to showcase that new posing method mentioned in a previous update? Did he just give an actual release date perhaps?

Nah, it's just some self-proclaimed investigator who couldn't find a clue if it was duct-taped to his forehead armed with the natural talent of pissing everyone off with his condescending and arrogant attitude.
Brilliant. (y) :ROFLMAO:
