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

[GingerSweetGirl]

it's not strange, in this game the main characters are so caught up in their dramas, sometimes just suspicious or imaginary, that it's really easy to prefer secondary characters

Jade is a bit too caricatured, but on Nichole and Cathy I fully support you.

on LIs, I can't tell you, I have changed my mind in a radical way already a couple of times.

right now the only one I care about is Sage, who in her sentimental drama, even a little too long, has remained consistent, it is also the LI who has shown more aspects of herself, starting as a party girl extreme and adding layers from time to time.

Maya was given a lot of space in the sixth chapter, and I must say that she used it quite well. let's see how he will cope with his personal storm coming

of Jill, without repeating myself too much, I didn't like at all how the blackmail was presented, but it could be an opportunity for her to develop her character too

Josy and Bella for now are really marginal in the story, Josy doesn't have a goal, a motivation to do or not do something .. and Bella is practically from the third chapter repeating the same cycle, she knows MC better, sex, repentance ...

I like Jade because she takes what she wants, there's an honesty there that cuts through all of the drama. That's my biggest complaint about Maya and Josy, they don't know what they want. That isn't a deal breaker, lot of people (especially kids) don't know what they want. But the did choose each other over the MC, so that's at least something. But because of that, I don't want my MC getting too entangled with them because they're going to be the source of a lot of drama.

Sage is a good character, but as much as Chad is a dick I didn't want to start fooling around with her while they were still dating. It was made worse that she was motivated by the fact that he was cheating on her. It felt like the best move was to sincerely just be her friend.

I look at Jill and I see a girl who is too young and inexperienced to know when and how to tell Tybalt to go to hell. She clearly doesn't like him, but she's been conditioned to just put up with him. I think she's overreacting to the blackmail, but I do think it will be the thing that breaks her out of her shackles.

I agree that Josy feels like a blank slate. I don't feel like she's added much since coming to the school outside of the big decision in Season 1. She strikes me as the generic love interest that is meant to have wide popular appeal, but looking at how she and Maya do in the DPC's polls, that hasn't worked out.

And, yeah, Bella. Like I said, I just don't get it. Her coming over to the MC's frat house felt way out of character for her.

At that age you do not know what you want, that is true and I have always said it in this forum and I have been branded as ignorant for saying that a person of 18 years is not an adult mentally and less in love and with so little experience .

Regarding the other issue, you will be involved in drama with them whether you like it or not, the game is like that and surely you will have the possibility of returning with one of them in the future.

 

[espy85]

I don't think Bella is getting out of character. It always remains The Ice Queen, but has always had a soft spot for MC, it is no coincidence that she immediately hosted us at home, she has always been open with us, until we find out more about her past it is difficult to understand why, but to made Bella is consistent with herself, she is attracted to us and comes to meet us in small steps.

On the other girls, my favorite from the start is Jill, but honestly the more I have moved on with the story the more I have lost interest, it premises that after the last chapter I have a theory about whether she is related to the MC and maybe she is this is holding me back, I don't like incest, so I hope that the next chapter will remove this idea of mine.

In the last few chapters I've liked Quinn instead, I'd say she's my favorite now, I love bad girls, my fault.

Maya, she never attracted me, Josie is beautiful, she has a perfect body, but I can't get beyond hers, as long as I can have a good time with her, that's fine, but I don't think it will ever be my final choice.

Sage, I love redheads and Sage also has a perfect body, in the last chapter a new side came out, more sensitive and above all more intelligent than I thought. She begins to interest me.

what you say about Jade is correct, for me she starts too aggressive (and so not so credible) ready away and flashes her pussy to MC, in front of everyone and practically does not know him.
the whole path of seduction between MC and Jade starts later. Jade is a porn movie character, with the same delicacy as Brazzers, then luckily he is given thickness.

Jill has ups and downs, she has a great morality, she is very serious, reliable, but then she has moments of naivety that are quite disarming. the story of the surname to be kept secret is not credible, the way it completely ties into Tybalt's blackmail makes no sense, and she does it before she even knows if MC is involved in the incident or not.

Maya has a lot of flaws, but being indecisive about MC is the only one I can forgive her.

then in a realistic way, a new student, in a college full of beautiful girls would never get stuck with an indecisive lesbian / bisexual couple, a married teacher, the girlfriend of the biggest dude in school (before Caleb arrives at least). if he had the chance he would have sex with them, but sentimentally ...

I don't think he meant that

completely out of the character of Bella, a married professor, is sleeping at the DIKs, who are a group of idiots who would take very little time to get the news out, wanting or unwilling.

and all this a few days after Cathy's scandal

 

[R1viel]

Im also curious if Aerith isnt as dumb as she seems like in the game.

Time will tell I guess.

I don't know that scene at the hot's house when she used a whole bulb of garlic rather than a clove was pretty convincing. although she may just be an excellent actress trying to get out of a really dumb prank

when young, people make bad decisions, but usually something is decided anyway.

Maya, I repeat, is justified in her indecision, but Josy is that in a pathological way

I'm engaged but I want to see you again
I shouldn't have called you but ok let's meet this weekend
I shouldn't have invited you but stay to "sleep" here
do you want to stay our friend? I wanted more but you didn't say anything
did you want to be more than our friend? me too but I was afraid for Maya and that's why when you finally wanted to talk to us I thought it best not to say anything

and Josy doesn't have that Maya family trauma baggage

Believe me, I felt the same as Josy myself when I was his age, I was with a girl and at the same time I couldn't stop seeing another, why? I don't know but I just couldn't and that's what happens to her. She loves Maya but at the same time the feelings she has for the MC cannot hide them and forget about him, in fact it is implied that she chooses Maya and not the MC so that Maya doesnt stay alone.

And the same can be said about Maya, except that she chooses Josy not because she was going to be alone but because she has known her long before and trusts her.

 

[Gh0st_Harambe]

any preview yet?

Only 2 for now Sage and Josy

but did you express this indecision with the girl you were dating?
Did you say "I love you, but maybe not"? are you still alive?
because Josy does this, she says and contradicts, exposes herself and then hides in the same dialogue.

and not only towards MC, also with Maya she had the same behavior, so much so that Maya was convinced their story was over ...

and being a repeated behavior I think it is part of the character

Josy says that because she's scared, scared of losing both of them. If there were a woman around here, She could explain it better since that is a woman's thing, we men don't say things that way xD

Exactly. Her sleeping with the MC is one thing, but sleeping at the frat house was completely out of character. As both an adult, and as a teacher, that was the dumbest possible thing to do. Sleeping at a frat/sorority is pretty much out of the question by the time you're 23, let alone in your 30s like Bella. And like Felice said, this is only days after the Cathy scandal. So there is no chance an intelligent, guarded woman in her 30s, would casually sleep with a student, at his frat, in a room with a tarp covering the windows, in a building destroyed and vandalized with dicks, mere hours after another teacher's career was put in jeporady because (supposedly) members of that same frat leaked pics of her to the school.

Not a chance.

Know what bothered me about Josy in the last episode? That interaction she had with the other girl at lunch in front of Maya and the MC showed a lack of character in my mind. When you have your core friends, sometimes you can't just be friends with everyone else. But when this other girl shows up, has no interest in Maya (and like I said is very dismissive of her) and barely even cares about the MC, Josy decides that she's just going to carry on a private conversation with her. That's not how you behave in a social situation. It's one thing to have a short conversation like "hey, there's a party tonight, do you want to come?" but the game gave me the impression that they chatted for an extended period of time. That is both rude to the other two people at the table, and shows a lack of social grace because she thought A) Alright to do, and B) Never noticed that it made Maya uncomfortable.

To me it was a great example of how Josy is sort of a chameleon. I don't think she's a bad person, or that she's shallow, but I don't think Josy has a very strong sense of herself. That's why I called her "generic" earlier, she just seems like this girl who is trying to be one size fits all, and will attach herself to whatever dominant personality is around her at any given time. That attitude of "I'm friends with everyone" strikes me as someone who isn't (deep) friends with anyone in actuality.

 

[popcron]

Hello, I seem to have a problem where the game wont let me skip seen text after quitting the game like it forgot I'd seen it. Is there a way to fix this as it would make replays quite annoying. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, it's so funny in this thread sometimes to see people who just don't seem to understand women.

Oh, so Josy ignored her girlfriend and friend/other lover to have a chat with some really bitchy girl who her girlfriend doesn't like? Yeah, because that's what women do. They are chameleons who can blend into any environment, can be all friendly with people they despise, and will get so lost in a conversation that they completely forget you're there. This isn't a major character flaw with Josy, it's her being a woman.

These kinds of things always remind me of this a Family Guy bit -

[Kellermann]

it is now evident that Bella has great feelings of guilt towards her husband (and it could not be otherwise)

I'm going to fuck those feelings right out of her.

can we fuck tommys girlfriend yet

It's coming soon and I think Tommy wants it to happen so he can focus on Quinn. Why else would he want MC to enter his private lair to stare at his naked girlfriend? Little does he know MC is taking both Quinn and Heather. Tommy is going to have to find himself a new wheelchair lady....and MC will probably steal that one too.

Sage, I love redheads and Sage also has a perfect body, in the last chapter a new side came out, more sensitive and above all more intelligent than I thought. She begins to interest me.

You sir, will go far in life, I can tell.

After just making some really generic claim about all women i get the feeling you also don't understand them.

 

[horusxcaen82]

now I am kinda feeling regret for accepting the "throuple" choice I mean my initial thought was that the MC would share both Maya and Josy and honestly with what I felt like episode 6 was (and I might have said this before) Josy being Maya's cheerleader or coach, like during the "help Maya and Josy" scene with the sex she was basically helping her have sex with the MC and I'm sitting here thinking.. I guess this is sexy, but is it a tender moment? I just kinda feel confused about it, and feel like maybe the MC should have just been friends with them, and wait to see if something happens later.

Dude, check his sig, he knows women, a lot of women.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

After just making some really generic claim about all women i get the feeling you also don't understand them.

It's actually based on life experience and the women I've known in my life. I've had those moments where girlfriends start chatting with another girl for ages and forget that you're also sat at the same table twiddling your thumbs waiting for them to finish, and I've been there when they start chatting to someone I know they don't like for ages. Like this one time we were at a birthday party for an ex-GF's friend and she ended up chatting with one of her friend's friend's, who I knew she didn't like, which was followed by this genuine conversation when the other girl had left their conversation:

GF: Oh God, I can't stand her.
Me: So why did you just spend the last 15 minutes talking to her if you don't like her?
GF: Because I can't let her think I'm a bitch for ignoring her.
Me:

I've even seen the same behaviour in my sister and Mum and they've both acknowledged it to me. There's also countless studies, editorials, and books about this very subject, so if you don't have the necessary life experience, I suggest you read some of them because it's 100% a womanly trait to play these kinds of catty games with each other in secret and to put on fake smiles with people they don't like.

Just go to the preferences menu and check the "unseen text" option. This will allow you to skip all text, seen or unseen. Just remember to enable it again once you've caught up.
