I agree that no one will merge the game here on November 19. This date is just a psychological boundary. The expectation of the game is so great that many will re-sign for $ 25.

The last update dropped here in like 20 minutes after it was released. An hour later there were multiple download links, including the legendary Nopy.

And an hour later there were people complaining that it kept crashing at the Josy scene.
Shit moves fast around here!
All good things come to those who wait.
Most of our assessments in life are relative. Relative to similar things. So to state that it's ridiculous to wait 6-7 months for this episode can only be said when compared to how long it takes for other games to update.
Also, the quality of the update needs to be considered. If a game was updating everyday, would that be the best thing ever, even if it just updated 1 render a day?
Renders and animations are the only real metric we can use to compare these games, and this release operated at ~20 renders and ~1.5 animations a day. I'd be curious to know if any other games are pulling close to that.
A game people like to compare to BaDIK is City of Broken Dreamers. I think the last release was 5-6 months after the previous one, so to give it the benefit of the doubt I'll say 5 months. That means it was averaging 6 renders a day and roughly 3 days per animation.
So in throughput, DPC is burying CoBD.
Next to compare is quality. I think CoBD's story is unarguably more rich than BaDIK, but that doesn't mean it's more enjoyable.
I find the characters in CoBD rather boring, although there are a few I like, also most of the sex scenes don't suit the game and its pace. BaDIK is chock-a-block with interesting characters, fun dialogue and enjoyable situations and the sex scenes are integrated very well.
Bottom line, if anyone else was creating what DPC is creating it would take them close to 2 years to achieve each episode. DPC does it in just over half a year and people still complain...
Relatively speaking, DPC is kicking ass.

It’s not unusual for a creator to be late with a project, and I’m okay with that as long as the delay is justified. Dr PinkCake explained that the code needed to be reviewed to facilitate future updates, he pointed out that the number of renderings was up, and he eventually invited frustated contributors to postpone their pledges until the release.
I have no reason to distrust his honesty, especially when you compare other developers who don’t bother to publish an actual status. This is probably one of the reasons for Dr PinkCake’s success on Patreon as on this forum.

Funny the one who gave the link to episode 7 was the same N7 you should investigate more before making a fool of yourself

That's the main source of my frustration with him, the fact that he told his patrons (which doesn't include me so I can't complain too much, lol) that the new hardware would improve render times led them to believe this would decrease the gaps between releases but then upped the render count so much that the gap increased.
If I was a patron I'd be furious but, since I'm dirty pirating scum (#DirtyPiratingScumPride) I just bitch about it to you lot

you are too hard on her, in the end she was only in a relationship for a couple of years with a guy who not only didn't like her but didn't like her gender at all.
But this year everything changed, she decided to court a freshman all semester, for now she stopped at the second rejection, but between now and the 20th chapter in my opinion she might give it another try.
joking aside: I think it's more a matter of appearance than feelings, Chad was a trophy guy (likely the thing was mutual), and to be dumped by him with the thought that he may have found better is unacceptable to her, and still is now even if more or less in a relationship with MC

Since I did this post for a DM, I may as well share it for anyone still unsure about the MEGA workaround:
Here's a video of me extending the download.
You can see on the left that the quota has expired and it says I have to wait for another 47 minutes. I right clicked the MEGASync tray icon and brought up the transfer manager with the download paused, and you can see Winscribe running. Once I start Winscribe, after few seconds you can see the download begins. Then I stop Winscribe, after a few seconds it stops and then it starts again. It'll be good for another 2 GB. That should be all that there is to it.

The usual issue is people misconstrue shit, believe their misconstructions and then get upset when the shit they thought (which was wrong) turned out to be wrong.

To be fair to DPC, this is what he said about his new hardware:That's the main source of my frustration with him, the fact that he told his patrons (which doesn't include me so I can't complain too much, lol) that the new hardware would improve render times led them to believe this would decrease the gaps between releases but then upped the render count so much that the gap increased.

So paraphrasing, "Shit will render faster, but I'm gonna do more shit with it".
The usual issue is people misconstrue shit, believe their misconstructions and then get upset when the shit they thought (which was wrong) turned out to be wrong.
I wonder if we'll get a bit of Chad background to understand what he went through, i.e. did he know he was gay and used Sage or was he just unsure and came to realisation over time.

if N7 or others will do it I don't know, but I would be very surprised for a delay beyond 24 hours
in the end SomboSteel is immense, but there are other heroes around

Sorry, but he specifically fundraised for the new equipment with the promise of shorter times between updates, it wasn't anybody misconstrueing anything. He had a pinned post at the top of his Patreon showing a progress bar on the fundraising. He never said anything about shifting bottlenecks or manual labor until after the fundraising was complete.To be fair to DPC, this is what he said about his new hardware:

In the flashback we already had, to their first year of college, I didn't see any enthusiasm on his partI wonder if we'll get a bit of Chad background to understand what he went through, i.e. did he know he was gay and used Sage or was he just unsure and came to realisation over time.
at best, for him, he couldn't back down once Sage had stepped up to him and he had to keep his game to keep from being discovered

I'll grant you that but it doesn't help as much as it should, imagine if each episode of a tv show doubled in length and therefore the time between episodes increased every time then imagine the showrunner told the fans they were taking a second crew so that multiple eps could be produced simultaneously and reduce the wait, only to make each ep 4 times longer.
Oh well, it's not like I pay anything for it

IDK about the 'Trophy Guy" thing, in those flashbacks she seems to be totally head over heels for the guy.
