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

[Klopdwerg]

Ok, totally off-topic at the moment and perhaps allready even discussed but i'm still wondering and who knows someone got an answer.

In episode 6 after Quinn got ambushed the MC (can) helps her and takes her to his room.
When he gets her something for the bleeding nose she takes out this magic 8 ball.

"Don't count on it"

Is it a hidden message or a clue? I really can't connect the dots here other then not counting on sex which does happen. Or does it goes deeper and is it meant for a possible relation?
Really wondering what you all think about that specific scene.

 

[EfontMan]

Maybe she was asking herself if she could get a happily ever after ending with the MC.

 

[PashafromRussia]

Yeah... Especially when she told MC that she would not hesitate to play dirty in order to "win" (the swimming pool scene if MC stays with Sage in EP4). Along with that abandoned puppy face when she saw Chad left the party in EP7, I can't really shake off the sense that Sage was using MC to achieve something instead of trying to develop a healthy relationship with him.

Of cause, it's up to DPC that if MC can truly win Sage over/help her to leave Chad behind after all.

Maybe it's true that Chad is gay will be the only way to break out of the circle of fuck buddy.
In fact, I see two ways here:
1) To tell the truth. - MC and Sage become lovers. Sage takes offense at Chad and feels humiliated and curses him
2) Don't say anything. - Sage and MC remain fuck buddy.
P.S. By the way, I noticed another detail in Sage's character here. As a girl from a rich family, the status of her potential boyfriend is important to her. Chad was a successful athlete and a leader of jocks. As soon as MC became the unofficial leader of the Diks, Sage began to be interested in him. Is it a coincidence?

Speaking about Zoey, she's definitely going to appear again (I mean, she has a bio on the phone) but I think DPC is going to make her return even more impactful for the MC by making her Vinny's girlfriend.

I also bet they both will appear at the end of Episode 8 at the Halloween party.

I think that's the first time I heard that idea, and I like it.

so instead of going to San Diego she lied to her best friend & stayed in the city?

He hadn't heard from her for 6 months when he told the story to Bella, so she could have moved, for reasons.

 

[inevitableandinfinity8]

Oh man wait until some of those people find out what Stephens been up to with some of those girls.

Bty the way most here pretend like that the oth girls were(maya,sage or josy) virgin before mc. Nope they were not. Murder is committed everywhere, the question is which killer you want to let go. first will be simple people, which did it for fun like sage,maya or josy on ther other hand we have sluts so they did so they can get free tuition.
shitty but true.

I don't think that necessarily has anything to do with her family or societal position. I think it's just a case of most women being naturally drawn towards men with power, position, status, etc.

This kind of a guy get chose for marriage by girls and for fucking they chose bad boys.

That thing is out of question buddy there is no love path with sage. mc and sage first make out in sage room and sage inner thoughts- If he can't do they why can't I, that will teach him(chad) a lesson.
damn relation between mc and sage is all about, use and throw and getting off. there are many proof sage face in party when she sees chad, Lilly ask simple question about chad and sage goes full off. Mc try to make bit serious tone to fuck buddy relation and she leaves(Mc and sage do practice together) these is so much but i don't wanna write anymore.
relation are based on truth,love and trust and this bs is just for rabbit fuck.

and r u from russia in real, because i love russia.

Not necessarily, Vinny could have gone to San Diego for whatever reason and they both met..

Or she moved back and then they met.

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

Appreciate that. Thanks dude.

Just beware that saves from modded games will not work with unmodded games. So when the new episode drops in maybe a month or so, you'll need to wait until the mod is updated or start all over to play the new episode.

 

[znar25]

Interesting. But at least that would give Bella and MC and good excuse for being together at the restaurant. Sure beats Jill and Tybalt or Jill and Jonathan walking in and being completely surprised to see Bella and MC sitting there having a romantic dinner.
Honestly, this has been my fear all along with the upcoming date. Someone..be it Jill, Nicole, Jade or take your pick (or even an antagonist like Burke)..will walk in and discover the two love birds, thus killing another one of your "relationships." That is certainly DPC's style.
Out of all the spots in the city to run into a B&R acquaintance, it just has to happen at the one time and place Bella and MC are visiting for their date.

If Jill saw that, the fan art should show her, the next day, visiting a gun shop and getting the most expensive gat there.

 

[Ankhesenamun]

I love it that the simplest, faintest, haziest remote notion of - even if hypothetical - NTR sends some people into a frenzy.

You really let a porno slideshow of 3D characters have a lot of power over you, don't you?

 

[Duriel]

When people form emotional connections to game characters that tend to happen

 

[znar25]

bella is going to ruin the mc after they date. i cant wait

(re: Bella path at the end of Ep7)... She talks a big game but just a few minutes earlier she had tears of happiness. I sometimes think it was just cute, sports like, trash talk....and, at that point, in a most loving way.

 

[znar25]

It is also possible Sage was curious about who's room Chad walked out of.

 

[Stannis_The_Mannis]

Bella is cool, hope there isn't anything too crazy with her. yeah milfs are cool, that's about all I wanted to say.

 

[ename144]

Look, on the other points I agree, but they are all related to the fact that BADIK is undoubtedly a game of another level compared to AL, is much more ambitious, has a much larger cast. then comparing the final of a small game to an intermediate stage of a major one, it is normal that in the second case you have greater freedom

but on the point I made, you are very ungenerous. let's start with the premise that for me, both reactions are plausible.
but it is not true that in BADIK MC runs away from a love failure, he runs away in front of the fear of failure, in fact nothing has happened, he just suddenly sees in danger both the relationships he counted on and finds no other solution but to run away.
on the other hand, to reduce the drama of AL's MC to a bereavement, seems to me to be really bad... it may be a secondary aspect but he also loses his house, and finds himself living on a mattress in a friend's house. then it was not an acquaintance of his who died, but one of his very few friends, she is described as very introverted, one he trusted so much that he put her in the house. in addition to this the victim was undoubtedly the best friend of the girl he loves, so not only he is in mourning, but also the person closest to him is in a state of shock. Add to these considerations that Mc feels guilty for various reasons: because he thinks he is partly responsible, suspecting Melissa's stepfather, because it was a danger that he knew, that he faced only by baiting him without solving anything, he also feels guilty because he COULD have saved her, the fact that he did not physically succeed does not solve the guilt.
does not seem to me an unmotivated crisis

everyone can prefer what they want, but both MCs at some point decide to behave in an instinctive, irrational and from our point of view as players, inevitable and completely unrelated to our choices

Of course I'm ungenerous. I hated the end of AL! I'm not inclined to cut it any slack.

If you feel the MC's behavior in AL's finale makes more sense than the MC's behavior in the Maya/Josy crisis, we can agree to disagree. But I still feel we have less lack of control over the MC in BaDIK and that the crisis in BaDIK makes far more sense within the context of its story than AL's.

She could certainly have been asking a specific question to herself, as in…

Maybe she was asking herself if she could get a happily ever after ending with the MC.

But I think it’s also meant to be a reflection back of what her life philosophy is, as in don’t be dependent on people, don’t take things for granted etc, which is clearly her default attitude. It’s significant of course that she then promptly does the reverse, and opens up to the MC, letting her guard down.

More on the nose though is that she’s just come from a drug meet where she asked for an 8 ball of coke.

both reactions make sense to me, always taking into account that AL is a great indie game and BADIK stands as a AAA title. (if anything, what I don't find believable is the sudden Olympic calm of MC at the end of the fourth chapter)

in the story of Maya and Josy, the first narrative cycle, what control do we have? for the story we are still more or less seriously in love with both, and whatever our path there are only two epilogues: inside or outside (the rejection is only accompanying drama). it seems to me a story that goes on automatically where we decide the color of the curtains and the taste of ice cream

I also think it's a very personal reflection, like, "am I ever going to get out of this situation." , "will I ever have a normal life", "will I ever be just another girl".
