Whaaaaaaaa? What do you mean they don't exist???How can a game make us feel so fucking bad? It really never ceases to amaze me that we care so much about people who don't exist, at least to me.

A lot depends on how you look at it, but I mostly disagree.Affinity system showing its flaws once again as does dividing up characters on certain paths, like not being able to do anything with Jade and Cathy by staying with M&J.
So much of this game is now becoming an exercise in trying to understand why, from a character perspective, the MC wouldn't do certain things with certain characters or why they wouldn't do anything with him. It seems as though, in an effort to create replayability, the locking of certain events to different paths and affinities is creating inconsistency issues with how the MC is and what they can do because, as has been discussed many times, a player can do everything with M&J and can have just about all their RP points, yet they get rejected just because they're DIK afffinity. Well, in this episode we saw that we can also be rejected by Quinn even if we've done almost everything with her just because a player doesn't have DIK affinity and is with M&J.
Aside from the gaming logic of replayability factor, it doesn't make sense in either case to be so cut off because if you take out the hamstringing affinity system, the MC has done enough in both cases to surely be accepted in these moments. Without locking content to certain affinities and relationship paths, there would be still be a of replay options with the different routes you can take of focusing on particular LIs and all the variations therein.
I don't know the regular slams of emotioal gut punchs did make me weirdly introspective. I would never have expected an adult visual novel to promote personal growth but somehow here we areHow can a game make us feel so fucking bad?

I sometimes think that what it is is that we are playing this game, visual novel, whatever you want to call it, and ordinarily in the things, whether they're adult games or console games, there's generally this feeling that there are no bad endings, that you are in control of how things go and can always do things the right way, but this game is starting to feel like that's not going to happen. There's a lot going on that make it feel as though there's going to be devastation no matter what path you pick and that characters are going to get hurt emotionally and/or physically in ways you just don't see in games/VNs, and there will be nothing we can do to stop it which makes us feel less in control than we usually are with these things.How can a game make us feel so fucking bad?

Haha. We’ll see. I know some people hate the idea, I only care because I’d like happy endings with all LI’s, it’s my preference that it doesn’t happen. I’m just tracking the potential breadcrumbs.Dude C'mon
Another game who did this to me was Red Dead Redemption 2 or FF7 Remake but this last was for nostalgic feelingsI sometimes think that what it is is that we are playing this game, visual novel, whatever you want to call it, and ordinarily in the things, whether they're adult games or console games, there's generally this feeling that there are no bad endings, that you are in control of how things go and can always do things the right way, but this game is starting to feel like that's not going to happen.

It like ME3 all over again where you are presented with no good options and that was a major game developer who changed that because of intense backlash, yet DPC may be headed down a similar no-good-option, no-win scenarios, and that doesn't feel good.
There are two files to be fixed, both called BeingADIK. Look in Contents/MacOs and in Contents/MacOS/lib/darwin-x86_64.Please help me, has anyone found a solution for the mac problem? running it through permission fixer for mac didnt work, help :C
Correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't jill's sister younger then her?I also think this episode added to evidence for Aunty Jill .
Lynette was wealthy
Lynette died young
Jill’s sister died
We still haven’t fucked Jill (Technically no incest yet)
Jill’s sister liked to write
Lynette was on her 7th diary.
DPC clearly doesn’t mind doing Us dirty
This is still coincidental, and I’m not convinced, but just want to keep track of the hints if it does happen
There are no breadcumbs. Jill is a LI. End of story.Haha. We’ll see. I know some people hate the idea, I only care because I’d like happy endings with all LI’s, it’s my preference that it doesn’t happen. I’m just tracking the potential breadcrumbs.
Apparently there are, but I suspect the issue is the same as on other versions of MacOS, namely the missing execute permission of the executable files in the game package.is anyone else having issues running on mac big sure?
Mass Effect's ending was poorly written, but the destroy option was there and was always from Eden Prime onwards the only true option.It like ME3 all over again where you are presented with no good options and that was a major game developer who changed that because of intense backlash, yet DPC may be headed down a similar no-good-option, no-win scenarios, and that doesn't feel good.
Hey there's plenty more dark energy in this thread than ingame! Nevertheless, I enjoyed the update party <3Now the lights are coming on at the poor writing skill of DPC!!!very good!
Bravo!
The permission problem is easy to fix, but if the zip file got corrupted during downloading this won"t do much good I suspect.Any other mac users having trouble? I tried extracting it with unarchiver but it's saying the zip file is incomplete, and with just the normal extraction tool I don't have permission to open the file.
This was what disappointed me about this episode. When I opened the game for the first time in ep6, i went straight to the secnes menu to see how many we had after 5.5 months, and when I saw that many I was so hyped and looking forward to it. Then I finish the episode and see that only 8+Jills were real ones and the others were from DnG.On this, I think I'm in partial agreement with Holy Bacchus : if DPC is worried about finding ways to shoehorn in lewd scenes for all the girls then he should stop writing the story in such a way that forces us to choose between the girls! Don't put in some half-assed (if lovingly rendered) dream sequence for us to fap to.
Personally, I like the branching paths. It adds exactly the sort of consequences to the relationships that I feel is sorely lacking from simple harem games like, say, WVM. Yes, I worry that DPC hasn't built up the trust that's required to really pull that off, but that's a risk I am prepared to take.
But in that case, DPC should stick to his guns and just admit that sometimes there won't be super-hot lewd scenes for everyone. We'll get over it (eventually, when the next episode comes out).
The thing is though, on the DIK path, what really is different with Quinn's interactions? About the only thing I can think of is the scene in the HOT house in ep 4 if you stay with Sage, but you can do pretty much everything else without being on that path and can have a reasonably good relationship with her. Also, you can stay at the HOT house with Neutral or CHICK affinity and Sage starts telling the MC about how she thinks Quinn likes him and you get the same hints to that throughout the game as those on the DIK path, yet she turns your help down just because you're not on the DIK path and with M&J, both of which are things that, realistically, shouldn't have any effect here if you've done enough with her.Take Quinn. Yes, the MC can fool around with Quinn while still being an overall CHICK on M&J's path. But by the same token, that makes it look to Quinn as if she's just another of his dolls. Since Quinn has a big chip on her shoulder and hates feeling weak, I can see how that would tilt the balance and prevent her from opening up to the MC.
So to me this feels like one of those 'realistic' consequences in my reply to Arigon: Quinn will only be willing to trust the MC if he makes her feel both wanted and special. I get how you might see it differently, though.
Unzip with The Unarchiver, or fix the missing execute permission on both executable files called BeingADIK inside the game package. Use chmod a+x in Terminal.guys i cant open macos version i played all upadates but when i click this time it says it cant open
In this scene it is not "+1" it is "-1"Being a DIK v0.6 walkthrough
