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

[shazba]

You being sarcastic doesn't change anything. You didn't even address my point that WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LAWS WORK IN THAT WORLD. All we DO KNOW from that exchange is that a stripper doesn't like what Quinn the prostitute is supposedly doing ( a clear conflict of interest i would say). We know she deals drugs and we know she engages in prostitution, i'm not accepting the blackmail charge though because to me that was more of a threat to save her and everyone elses asses. Do we know if anything Quinn is doing is for sure illegal? Please answer me that or not at all.

You're completely missing the point.

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm illustrating how Lily was being sarcastic.

When Lily says, "Aren't you a treat?", there are three ways this could be delivered:

1. Lily is insane and just listed 3 completely random, unrelated activities, and then inanely suggested Quinn was "a treat",
2. Lily thinks prostitution, drug dealing and blackmail are awesome and is commending Quinn, enthusiastically calling her "a treat"; or
3. Lily is listing 3 unsavoury activities that Quinn is involved in, and then sarcastically suggesting she is "a treat".

It's pretty obvious that it's #3.

I alluded to Quinn and Lily's budding business relationship in my earlier post, but let's lay it out:

Lily runs into Quinn, who is high from smoking with the mc, and she asks if Quinn will hook her up:

Quinn: "Hi."​

Lily: "Yeah, I can see that you are. High, I mean."​

Lily: "Can you hook me up?"​

Quinn: "Do you smoke?"​

Lily: "I sure do. So, how about it?"​

Quinn: "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm tired from studying or something."​

Lily: "No, you're not. You're acting carefully."​

Lily: "And I perfectly understand you. You should be careful."​

Lily: "I can see how you must be blaming yourself for trusting Mona right about now."​

Quinn: "Mona, who?"​

​

If drugs were perfectly legal, and it was totally legit for Quinn to sell to Lily, why all the caginess?

Lily even says, "You're acting carefully. And I perfectly understand you. You should be careful." Why should she be careful if it's all legit.

She follows up with, "I can see how you must be blaming yourself for trusting Mona right about now." What's the big deal if everything is above board? How is Mona a problem if Quinn is just an honest business woman?

Then we get the rest of the scene:

​

Lily: "I've got $500 for you if you hook me up."​

Quinn: "I'm not sure how much drugs that equate to, as I don't use or sell any..."​

Quinn: "...but $500 worth sounds like it's for way more than personal use."​

Quinn: "I'm guessing, of course."​

Lily: "Yeah, I have no clue how this works either."​

Lily: "It's totally the first time I buy."​

Lily: "I'm just an innocent girl thinking that $500 worth is a good start for our relationship."​

Quinn: "I have no reason to trust anything you say."​

​

Once again, why is Quinn acting like she doesn't know what Lily is talking about? Why is Lily pretending she's never bought drugs before? Why is everyone being so fucking coy?

The answer is as obvious as the mc's cock is big (and don't tell me where you come from everyone has a footlong 'cause the DRC has the highest average cock size in the world and its only 7 inches. )

More evidence? Quinn freaks out when Rich gets weird during their exchange:

​

Rich: "Hi, I-"​

Quinn: "Take the bag and leave."​

​

That's not typical legit business practice, that's shady, illegal drug deal technique...

The shadiness continues:

​

Quinn: "Don't sit down."​

Quinn: "You did not just do that."​

Rich: "Is that what I think it is?"​

Quinn: "Put down the bag."​

Rich: "I've been doing some thinking..."​

Rich: "...or mourning."​

Rich: "I haven't been myself lately. My grandmother passed away recently."​

Rich: "After thinking about it... I don't want it anymore."​

Quinn: "You're backing out?"​

Rich: "Here."​

Quinn: "Is that...?"​

Rich: "I didn't smoke it."​

Quinn: "You are a fucking moron, Rich! We're in public."​

Rich: "No one is looking."​

Quinn: "You never know who's looking."​

​

Why is Quinn so paranoid, why is she freaking out over Rich's flippant attitude to the drugs? Because the shit is illegal!

Even the entire way she gets drugs through Buddy. She tells him what she needs and he arranges it at a drop-off point. If it was all legal, wouldn't you just get it over the counter? Why the cloak and dagger? 'Cause it's illegal.

Now, Quinn's prostitution business:

​

Quinn: "Mona, Mona, Mona..."​

Quinn: "What do you expect me to do now?"​

Mona: "I won't tell anyone."​

Quinn: "That's a promise that means nothing to me."​

Quinn: "Case in point, Lily."​

Mona: "It won't happen again. I promise!"​

Mona: "I won't say another word about it or the drug deals."​

Lily: "The drug deals?"​

Mona: "Oh..."​

Quinn: "..."​

Mona: "I'm sorry-"​

Quinn: "Shut your mouth!"​

​

This whole scene doesn't make any sense if there's nothing wrong with drugs or prostitution in the mc's world.

​

Quinn: "Oh, Mona..."​

Quinn: "I understand you. You had a change of heart."​

Quinn: "There's nothing wrong with that."​

Quinn: "It's one less girl I have to provide a future for. I can live with that."​

Quinn: "But you know too much and that-"​

Quinn: "-is a problem."​

Mona knows to much about what? Quinn's totally legit business? No, she knows about Quinn's illegal prostitution and drug businesses.

Mona: "I'm never going to mention it out loud ever again. It happened now because we were talking about it."​

Quinn: "Are you sure you can keep such a promise?"​

Mona: "Yes! We'll pretend none of this ever happened and we go back to how it was before."​

Quinn: "Well, I'm in a position where my choices are limited, so I'll have to take a leap of faith."​

Quinn: "But just one thing..."​

Quinn: "Something to bear with you... Think of it as motivation."​

Quinn: "Do you think Professor Stephen Burke will allow a student to solicit sex on campus?"​

Quinn: "Doing what you did, put you on his radar."​

Quinn: "I know how to handle him, but I'm sure he wouldn't like hearing that you're out there blabbering about how he tried to buy sex from you."​

Quinn: "A man in his position, would probably reverse such a rumor and take action."​

Quinn: "Students have been expelled for far less and the whore label you'd get would be hard to shake."​

Quinn: "Don't ruin your future, Mona."​

​

That entire exchange indicates soliciting sex (at least on campus) is illegal, that doing so, and people finding out, could ruin Mona's future, and that it's a problem for Quinn that Mona knows about the prostitution and the drugs but isn't ok with it.

There's nothing left to say. In the world of Being a DIK, drugs, prostitution, blackmail - these are bad things.

Spoiler: And Quinn is the Queen of Bad.

Point of clarification: Is that merely total lines per character, or is it edited to limit it to spoken lines? I'm curious about the totals once you delete all their yammering internal monologue.

That's pretty much everything they ever said or thought, even parallel branching that won't happen in the same playthrough, so there's a fair degree of error.

But deleting their internal thoughts, this is just the spoken lines:

Maya: 2190​

Josy: 1846​

Sage: 1656​

Jill: 1563​

Bella: 1372​

Quinn: 1254​

Really?!?! its not available in a county with legal prostitution and a very liberal stance on porn, man germany is pretty fucked on censorship, i have heard about what they like doing to a lot of violence video games but what the hell?!?

The problem is not the porn itself.... It's all about the

You must be registered to see the links

which should prevent people < 18 years consuming media which can be harmful to their develepment.

Instead of integrating a reliable adult check system for their german adult customers, STEAM decided to just ban the adult stuff in Germany.

Because Valve does not want to include a real age check ( id based) And in Germany you need this even on the playstation store.

So instead no such games for us Germans. Zombie games line dying Light are also not available

 

[Ilhares]

Was this not because you (Germany) have a law against human on human violence? Zombies are/were human. I remember a decade or so back hearing that some games had been reworked so the enemies were robots instead of humans just to get the game OK in Germany.

Blame Steam for it. Steam refuses to check the age of its users and the German youth protection laws prohibit the sale of porn without proof of age.

KRJ will become King's Carrie and burn the whole campus down if you're not careful?

I wanted to post this as a bug report in but sadly I'm not a supporting on patreon so I can't. You can rename the file update2.rpyc in "(Game Folder) > game" as update2.bak(for backup) and paste my file there to fix this bug.

I'm not sure if this bug has been reported before, there is a bug in the update2.rpy file from line 5945 where Bella asks the mc for what all he did last night. I feel that the ep2_bellaQuestions variable is not necessary and adds additional issues, one case(value of ep2_bellaQuestions being higher than it should be) being Bella says "I have another question" and jumps back to the main storyline. And another case(value of ep2_bellaQuestions being lower than it should be) being Bella not saying "I have another question" and asking the mask question. Also if we trigger the study room event without touching the mask Bella would say she would like to ask a question but she does not and immediately back to main storyline. So I made the changes to that part dropping the usage of ep2_bellaQuestions and ep2_bellaStudy as I saw them of no use:

#==========================================================================

Of course it will float, unless you think she's more dense than literal stone.

On the one hand, she's smoking hot, heat rises, but on the other hand, shes more dense than a neutron star.

I say SHE SINKS.

 

[ab_swag_]

Oooof. You're in for at least 20 hours, probably 30 depending on your reading speed and role-playing.

bro wtf are you talking about? I posted that comment 2 and a half years ago LOL

 

[tipsytopsy]

KRJ will become King's Carrie and burn the whole campus down if you're not careful?

Burn it all down! Bring back the Prim!

 

[Gunizz]

Regarding screen time, here's summary of the number of lines spoken by each LI (and Quinn):

Josy: 1899​

Maya: 2281​

Sage: 1661​

Bella: 1470​

Jill: 1682​

Quinn: 1254​

So while Quinn definitely has more interesting plot developments around her, she's still has significantly less speaking lines than the actual LIs.

Man, now I get why Maya is so boring, she also talks too much!

 

[cold_arctus]

Instead of integrating a reliable adult check system for their german adult customers, STEAM decided to just ban the adult stuff in Germany.

Nothing to do with STEAM or age verification system. In Germany every game requires a certification handed out by USK before a publisher or developer can sell their game.

All DPC has to do is to submit his game to USK and get his game verified. Afterwards he can sell it everywhere in Germany.

 

[Kellermann]

To be fair to Bella, her sex scenes don't contain much dialogue, which is cool, it makes her different.

If you consider each girls sex scenes:

Maya: She's all excited and nerves and talking shit.​

Jill: Her one "sex" scene is her talking a fucking essay.​

Sage: Her scenes are the best, the dialogue between her and the mc is so much fun​

Josy: A lot of her sex dialogue is her thoughts, but it's also fun dialogue.​

Bella: She just quietly gets down to business.​

Yes and Quinn not all that dissimilar to Bella in terms of total spoken lines.

I expected Quinn to have significantly less than Maya & Josy, they practically have entire chapters dedicated to them, but even Jill? Now I feel like I need to scan my memory. I knew Jill would have the least due to MC being able to stay at Isabella's house or Sage's dorm.. But im still having trouble imagining Jill w/ more lines than Quinn regardless of the count but I trust the numbers more than my memory.

I guess I should recontextualize it as more lines irrespective of being on their paths. I've never played a Jill route through so her content has pretty much been non-existent for me whereas Quinn presence is seemingly unavoidable and dominates the narrative regardless what you choose.

Quinn's lines to scenes ratio (like Bella) I'm sure is quite different from the other girls. Jill, Maya, and Josy never shut up when you're with them. When you're on your "dates" with Quinn, comparatively little talking goes on. MC and Quinn just look at each other, do some drugs, and fuck. One entire sex scene with Quinn is relatively quiet. You'd have to ball gag the other girls to get some silence.

Nothing to do with STEAM or age verification system. In Germany every game requires a certification handed out by USK before a publisher or developer can sell their game.

All DPC has to do is to submit his game to USK and get his game verified. Afterwards he can sell it everywhere in Germany.

This is not only wrong in this case. Games that are not checked by the USK are simply treated like a USK 18 game. It may end on the "index" (List of media harmful to young people - enforced by the "BPjM") but even then it is technicly possible to buy it. It just means that these games may not be advertised in any media or put on display in retail stores, so noone knows if you can buy it.

In this case the blame is on steam and it's - non existant - ageverification system. Valve used the simplest way and put a regio lock on these game, so you can't even start the game in Germany. It sucks if you want to honestly buy the game, but that's how it is in Germany.
