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

[lemonfreak]

do you wonder that MC doesn't ask Sage directly about free tution, when he doesn't warn neither Maya nor Sage about the restaurant?
MC knows that Quinn has a prostitution ring, regardless if he used it or not, a great friend of his is in huge economic difficulties and she's obviously targeted by Quinn, and the most he tells her is that Quinn is "evil"? if Maya had ended up on the menu how could we not consider MC the first culprit? and in the same way towards Sage, believing in free tuition is naive but not denouncing the restaurant is much worse

(and i'm still convinced that it will be the next big drama between MC and Sage)

it's not a case of poor writing, but conscious, the whole drama is constantly built on the incommunicability between the characters.
all the dialogues are full of requests for sincerity or second thoughts about what to say or not to say. almost always it's not so important what they say to each other but what they decide not to say to each other

and on this you have to accept a huge suspension of disbelief

If we're going to talk about the way the characters communicate then shouldn't we be asking why they're talking face to face at all rather then texting or chatting via whatsapp (hopefully I haven't just aged myself with those references )

they could also use paper and an inkwell, or messages with a carrier pigeon, the important thing would be that they say to each other what they have to say, at least once every 3 or 4 times.

What makes you think that the players are looking at the faces after they've read the discussion? I can't say i talk face to face as mc Except when talking to other guys. And i don't prefer that too much. Not playing these ones to stare at DoucheBroChads.

It's very bad that this game is displayed in discord, my mom plays games and uses discord, and today she decided to go to discord from her phone and write to me, but she saw the name of a strange game - Being DIK, which caused her a lot of questions, now I in a very shameful situation. (I am 24 years old)

I feel for you dude. Just tell her it was recommended by some dudes on the Internet and it's unbelievably funny. Sure there's some "adult" content, but I just ignore that part, Mom.

I actually had the playlist playing in the car a while back and my young daughter liked the music and looked it up... (yep, that happened...)

She was like, "Dad, that music you were listening to, it's totally from some x-rated game". And I was like, "Wow, what a surprise", and she was like, "Phew, I thought you might be playing it!".

I don't yet have the kinda relationship with my kid that Casmyr has with his dad...

Or smoke signals but the medium wasn't really the point.

Actually, it occurs to me once again that MC, being someone who was bullied all through middle school (possibly all the way through high school) and didn't have friends (besides Zoey) wouldn't be in the habit of using those apps so, while the other students could be chatting all the time, he's out of the loop.

No, he is not, but he be all hands on the babes, not on the keyboard.
He be on rooster chatting or sending texts,
a healthy life means you live first and talk/write ab out it later.

Live your life, do not procrastinate living for texting shenanigans.

Haha, Canto Forte , still alive? Wasn't even sure you visit here

 

[Canto Forte]

My devotion to gaming has me dwelling in the constraints of such good company

Haha, Canto Forte , still alive? Wasn't even sure you visit here

My money is on sweet young Riona. She's such a tragic goth girl... Plus she's starting to get stalked. When she's discussing Quinn being attacked she says:

Riona: "Lately... I've felt like someone is watching me too."​

Yeah, MC's on Rooster and I'm on MySpace but not facebook, Insta, Whatsapp, Snapchat or the plethora of others available

That's exactly what I did, I said that I saw the display of this game in the discord of a friend and it became interesting what kind of game it was. joked about content in game and big dicks.

Thats my guess, too. Only I think she might OD from discovering Quinn's 8ball, and use it.

Although, as someone ignorant in drugs, CAN you OD from just an 8ball? Its just a small amount, right?

Sure, it comes down to tolerance and purity. If you're taking something regularly that's 50% pure and then get something that's 90%, that could be very dangerous and if, on top of that, you're only an occasional user then the danger increases exponentially. Or the coke could be mixed with something that is more toxic.

However, she's been shown to be a weed smoker and we all know paranoia is a side effect.

Graci. So yeah, I guess thats possible then.

Ummm, I don't know what your lawyer friends told you, but joining a sorority for the financial benefits is actually legal in all 50 states.

And again, you are assuming her intent DESPITE HAVING NO ACTUAL PROOF! If Maya let Quinn know she was joining for the money from the get go, then there is literally no problem here. None. Zero. Zilch. It wouldn't be manipulative, it wouldn't be sinful, it wouldn't even be inappropriate!

But even if Maya never brought it up until the pool scene (which I doubt), that STILL doesn't make Maya a manipulator because she was simply taking advantage of an opportunity Quinn chose to provide. If Quinn believed sisterhood, networking or sorority life was such a sacred responsibility for any HOT, she could have made Maya spend time with the other HOTs to see how she fit in instead of making her grind on the MC and scavenge for sex acts. Quinn didn't, because she doesn't give a rat's ass about any of the crap you think should matter. So why should Maya?

Your personal distaste for Maya doesn't somehow make it inappropriate for Maya to do things. If you insist on believing Maya lied like a rug for Quinn to give her shot at the HOTs, knock yourself out. But stop trying to browbeat people into accepting your own personal head canon.

So you would be OK with someone who despises you coming to live in your home, pretending to be your friend, and living there just for the financial benefits?

If I was running a drug dealing, prostitution ring and was intending to use that person as a prostitute, sure, what do I care if they like me or not...

Tell her you play it for the story... (Old playboy excuse modernised)



Bad advice ahead (based on simply what I would do)

Are your family religious, and strict, but not that understanding? Go with - A short while ago I was losing my way, and I experimented with some things. I am finished with that now though. A lie, but one that should suffice.

Are your family religious, but not strict, not religious, or religious, and strict, but understanding - Go with honesty. Yes, I enjoy playing adult games sometimes.

Edit: If it is a serious issue, but you wish to continue playing, make sure to keep all of your adult games somewhere where someone would not find it - an external drive for instance. You will probably have to remove evidence of such things from your phone since, if it is serious, your mother will keep checking up on your activities.

You keep assuming that Quinn IS the HOT's. Also, how do you know that Quinn's attitude to Maya isn't the result of Quinn catching onto Maya's attitude?

Really bad advice, show them the more extreme games you play, they'll forget all about BaD
