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

[DavDR]

Interesting debate. As I'm less familiar with the US academic system regulations not including my academic visits to my colleagues in US universities including some ivy ones. To be honest, my knowledge about fraternities and sororities is very limited.

Let me add my personal view on the matter. Many years ago (I am way over 50), I was an instructor (a PhD student), my students were a few years below me and above 18 (I was is my early twenties). I was engaged in long term sexual relationship with one female students (we were a couple for one year). Her friends who knew about it didn't make a fuss as it was quite normal (I wasn't a faculty member) and the age gap was negligible. She broke up with me as she felt that we got apart of each other. She was quite right and we ended up as friends with no negative emotions. About a year later (I was about 2/3 of my PhD studies), I was teaching a student that was ten leagues above me in terms of sexiness' and beauty (She looked like Camila from Being a DIK with Sage's breasts). Don't ask my why, but we hooked up. It was a summer fling. The sex was incredible and she was very adventurous. We went to a park, sat on the bench, and without warning, gave me a BJ, we had anal sex (This was my first time). She ended our relationship as she thought that she needed to find herself. Well, I was devastated for a while. Less of romantic feelings and more because I've became addicted to sex with her.

Years flew by, I met my wife (she looks like Maia from Being a DIK - Well she looked liked her 25 years ago minus three children). I became a university professor. To be honest, I below average on looks, my social skills are subpar. However, when I'm teaching a class, I am perceived as highly charming and charismatic (beyond class, none of it is true. I'm a regular person).

Did female students ogled me. Yes, because I'm the charming professor during lectures. Did I acted upon it, of course NOT!
Never had, never will for three reasons: 1st: Morally, I am happily married. I will not destroy my family for an affair. 2nd: In today's climate (since the 2000's, you have to be mad to get involved with a female student as you might be at risk of being accused of sexual harassment). 3rd: This is the highway to lose your job. No thank you. I worked hard to get to my position, I will not throw it away for some sexual urges.

I taught some gorgeous and sexy female students over the years. At most, I fantasized and masturbated while thinking of them. Still, it remained only a fantasy.

The code of conduct is very strict in every university that I've been in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel.

Is that mean that there are no professor-students relationship, of course not. There are probably some that I'm not aware of. However, when it explodes, that's the end of a career or being charged with sexual harassment charges. In both ways, you lose. In today's academic climate, I'm telling my PhD student to be very careful not find themselves in a tights position. I told them, female students in our department are like candles, you only admire them and looking at them. Female students from other faculties, colleges are ok to date as long as there is no risk of potential coercion.

So, for me, Being a DIK is a fantasy story of student's life that I never had a chance to experience. during my undergraduate studies years, I had a girlfriend.

That's my two cents and my perspective on this debate.

And a final anecdote to give a glance to who I am.

My flirting skills with women are those of Ebola virus. Most of my romantic relationships started as I was approached by women. To give you an example showing my lack of social skills. I was 18 years old at high-school. A gorgeous 17 years old from my high school invited me to her house for a date (She told her parents to go out and planned a romantic evening). She looked like Sage from being a DIK but with blonde hair and green eyes. We were lying on the carpet listening to music. She approached me. I did nothing. I froze. Was I stupid, yes! I didn't know how to react. Well, If I was the MC in Being a DIK, the result was different. The sad truth, I really offended her by my behavior. At that time, I didn't see that as my social skills were much worse and my understanding of the female specie was non existent.

In your experience what's it like when the teacher is a woman?

apparently this is a missing scene, some error or something. This would happen if we have Chick Status, but our status only reset in the first free roaming event.if I understand it right. so it's never happens
Wow Surprises everywhere

 

[Journey95]

What are some of your other favourite adult games?

for me its: City of Broken Dreamers, Where the Heart is, AOA Academy

They are not as good as this game but still really fun

Shouldn't be much different, according to law men and women are equal.

As for the law it's a strange thing, we all have the same rights, sure there's some age related rights that are different or being married or other factors... Basicly the law excist to protect us.

As for ethical questions there's always some grey area, but as for a policy like the one i copied :

Im a social worker, i work with homeless, addicts, psychiatric patients, mentally handicapped you name it, i can't buy anything from them, i can't have sexual relations with them and a bunch more rules like that....
Is there any law agency actively looking if i do? no, but if i cross lines i can still be in trouble...
Most of all my boss can decide to dissolve my contract if he can proof my functioning suffers due to me not following the policy.
For instance i can buy a homeless paper (even if not on duty) but i can not buy a stolen bicycle (even if not on duty)

You might have messed it up when patching the game. The instructions in the zip are misleading. If you actually replaced the entire content folder in the app with the one in the zip, the game will definitely not work. Only the game folder should be replaced.

Yes I think I did, the BeingADIK.app was 12GB before and now it's only 4GB so I think I replaced the original app for the patch only -.-'
I guess I'll have to install the new version and start again... Thank you anyway for your answers!

Any school enacting a rule like that would leave themselves open to a Civil Rights lawsuit, especially for a 'protected class' woman. Let's just say that DPC says that in his fantasy Duckburg world that things are different, although I do wish that if ignorant foreigners are writing a story set in the United States or a US like world they would take a minimum amount of time to educate themselves about our society and our culture.

Have you actually ever read the 1st Amendment? You should know that the protection is for people against the federal government. That's it. B&R is not a federal institution, it's a private school or perhaps a state school (I doubt state). They have their own codes of conduct and can fire or punish people for violating them.

Do you seriously think I can walk up to my boss and call her an "obtuse cunt" and then expect protection from the 1st Amendment? I can be fired on the spot. The 1st Amendment doesn't apply to private platforms.

I think you need to stop throwing stones, as you live in a glass house.

Nice shot.

 

[LoDoN-]

Nice shot.

I'm new to this thread and didn't catch it when it was first debated, the thread being 7k pages long.

Would you mind explaning your theory about Lynette being alive?

 

[Pi Quantum]

Very late to the party here, but I finally got around to playing 0.72 and it was everything I'd hoped for. Dr Pinkcake has hit the ball out of the park again and it was worth every second of the wait. The choices between the girls aren't getting any easier and the plot keeps getting murkier, so I have no idea how all this is going to end. Talk about a rollercoaster of a game!

 

[Razrback16]

Ya I'm curious to see what happens with Lily - certainly an intriguing conversation MC has with her if you get her scene at the HOTs party.

 

[asgardtipar2]

That girl is thought by many to be a character of a Dev called Palmer, who passed away while that episode was in production.

Daaaamn, Palmer died???

 

[asgardtipar2]

You refuse to answer the question, in an attempt to overrationalize the question and avoid culpability for your mistake, I conclude that you simply refuse to admit fault and will doctor the discussion in an endless loop until everyone is too tired to care.

I leave you with your first paragraph that proves everyone else's point. Good day sir.

That is why I simply insulted him. Man is just...

It's just a prediction.

There is no evidence behind it.

 

[JETracktor]

Aboslutely nothing in her behavior could have warned me, it's just the dev giving you the finger with that kind of prank!

Bullshit, you can see Bella jealous when you talk to Cathy. Its need to be blind to not see it. When I've played 1st time blind with no help I've noticed that for sure and rejected Cathy with no second thought - I was sure that its gonna be a problem with Bella.

 

[LoDoN-]

Evidently, but I mean, sometimes during my play through, specially when the MC is reading his mother's diary, the thought of his mom being alive cropped up in my head.

Like she was VERY young when she ran away to his father, what if poverty changed her views, but she was already pregnant. So she decided to have the child, leave the child with the father and just peace out. The father never had the guts to confess to the child that his mother abandoned him and just invented the story of her death, so the boy wouldn't feel betrayed by his own mother.

I feel like at the end of the diary we are going to get some pretty major reveal and Lynette being alive would be a massive gut punch. She prefered wealth over her own child.

 

[SunWarrior]

My game is fucked. I'm stuck on the tutorial for rebuilding the house. Adding john boy and nick gives me a soft lock, can't do anything.

 

[JETracktor]

you can see a scene where Jill and Bella have a tension when in the same bed.

The problem in that scene is someone sleeping in Bella's bed with her, not Jill specifically. It's a big deal for Bella.

Actually that's not true. Have you ever heard of the civil right's act? If you own a business you can't just say that you don't want to serve certain people, or you can't say you won't hire certain people. And if you want to fire any of your employee's you better have a good, legal reason.

Also, that's not how the First Amendment works. Are you sure you are an American? Because you don't seem to understand this at all.

 

[JETracktor]

This eventually doesn't seem to explain much about Bella's behaviour, does she want revenge on Jill in your opinion?

Bella doesn't take Jill's dates seriously cuz she knows Jill doesn't take it serious. Its gonna be a big drama in future if MC pursue Jill but for seventh episode Bella is ok with Jill (but only Jil)

Yes, her diary is a clear set up for something really big. If it wasn't it would've been finished in the episode it was introduced.

That's when the idea came in my head. Reading the diary.

Plus something about Neil, I don't trust him.
