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

[OFT]

OK, kids! Here is my timeline graphic showing how many in-game days have elapsed, now updated for Ep. 8.



Nailing down the ending this time is not an exact science, though. In fact, from the gameplay I've seen so far, nowhere does it say the day of the week on which the following events occur:

Spoiler: Final Events of Ep. 8

The first four events happen on the same day, but the ending might or might not occur the next night. All I can say with any fair degree of certainty is that:

• They occur during the same week
• The first four events happen no sooner than Tuesday, based on Bella's texts if Jill spies her having the MC's breakfast sausage
• The ending scene happens no later than Friday.

If anyone has evidence to the contrary, let me know (PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS!) and I'll make the proper adjustments.

Short of any future Ep. 8 insights, my hope is that events in Ep. 9 will cement the ending day of Ep. 8, and maybe even the actual starting date of Ep. 1.

The storyline so far has spanned only 7 weeks. In my previous timeline post, the only unknown was the length of the Ep. 7 time skip, which I set to 3 days. The only other feasible option would have been 10 days, and that seemed excessive at the time. It appears obvious now the Halloween party will take place in the next episode. However, if you extrapolate the data (shout out to Bella), then you're looking an episode whose storyline starts at the end of the first week of October and stretches to the Halloween party, about 3 to 3-1/2 weeks, making it the longest episode timespan yet. If you wanted to even it out, you could make the skip 10 days in Ep. 7. That would make

• Ep. 7 2-1/2 weeks
• Ep. 8 approximately 2-1/2 weeks
• And then perhaps 2-1/2 to 3 weeks for Ep. 9

I guess we'll know on June 3, 2022 when Ep. 9 is released.

I was thinking that too, especially with Jill. She could leave the same way she came in, through the back, which I think was a smart idea, even not knowing about the walk of shame bullshit, because I personally think that would be a VERY bad thing for her to go through.

I hope he does call secret code for whoever he's involved with. She should be am exception, whoever she is, since she is the MC's girl-friend or fuck-buddy or whatever

Also if she came to the front door she couldn't toss those pebbles like her sister and the MC did. I'm not sure why but that really got me.

There were more than one scene where the walk of shame didnt happen after a girl left the MCs room out of respect or just fear... Bella only needed one glance and they stopped, after Josy comes out everyone stopped cause she is the sister of Tommy... Jill is a much respected person around campus too, and of course everybody (except the MC) knows she is a royce... i dont think Rusty would be ok with a walk of shame on her, and my gues would be, they would stop if the DIKs see her. But just to get "caught" maybe would have been a problem for Jill some time ago... but now? As officially "Girlfriend" ? I dont think so. She would be annoyed by it, but i dont think that it would affect her that much overall... she is in love with the MC, the MC is a dik, and she is very aware of it that the DIKs are party animals with nearly no shame... so at this time, i think she would stand over it without to much bother.

Well I justy finished my playthrough. What the hell am I supposed to do now?!

 

[Marley300]

So I was just doing a quick new path and then I noticed…
What the fuck!?!? I thought DPC fixed that bug.

Brandi gets no respect.

Before I get started on this post, to those Jill fans who struggle with criticisms of her, let me extend an olive branch and state:

Spoiler: In this animation Jill is, arguably, the most perfect specimen of a human being!

Well, in my playthrough, canceling the walk of shame is quite real, I'm on the route with Bella, and most likely their relationship will be a secret, but I'm not sure about the other girls.

The Walk of shame doesn't work with Bella anyway, remember ?



Do you really think they would dare to try a second time ? The Kubrick stare has frightened them to the bones.

 

[Blades1138]

You make it sound like that's a bad thing, but that's one of the reasons I like the game! (I suspect I'm in the minority here).

There's a difference between good drama and bad drama. People aren't complaining because the drama in BaDIK is the good kind. A lot of it is shoehorned just for the sake of it, without any realistic justification in-story.

 

[Deleted member 4298851]

Well I justy finished my playthrough. What the hell am I supposed to do now?!

Wait about 6 months or so like the rest of us for an update, or try new routes or maybe try to fine-tune the one you're on

 

[Fraxo]

Don't understand the fascination with Quinn. Some might argue that there's a backstory behind her behaviour. That might be so, but that doesn't mean she has to be an idiot to everyone around her. Might be of interest if the MC forced her to her knees and into submission. Maybe she messes up badly (again) and needs the MC's help.

I never saw the stare that she gave them, but I can certainly imagine it scaring everyone in the mansion who saw it

 

[Klopdwerg]

This is the hardest things I have to do in this game coz I can't not romance her on every route I play

View attachment 1527794

Left me with tears in my eyes. Eventhough we knew it was coming to this.
What made me mad though was that this MC fucker just grab the phone. FFS he should had the decency to visit her. She did everything for him!!! Gave him shelter, food, comforting him and supporting him everywhere she could. And even worse she opened up. To get pummeled down by that phonecall. And even then... she feels for MC. But look at her sitting there.... Made me hate the MC at that moment...

 

[Ostap Bender]

*Finally after the 9th attempt I'm able to fucking reply..DAMN!*

that's fair enough, it's just my own opinion on it, but from the choices I've seen, all the DIK stuff, to me, is a not-so-very-nice-person route; the weed, the HOTs, the fake ID, etc. It's how I process it, and it's opinion based of course,, but from what I've seen, and how I translate it, it's not a good lifestyle or life outlook to have or be in.

People can say that being nice in real life is a bit boring. Billy Joel said it best: "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun, only the good die young."

Me personally, like I said, I bring my own views to the game, but from what I see, I see nothing redeeming about a hardcore DIK route. Could it lead to Quinn's redemption? Possibly, and that would be a good thing. It could lead the many good things towards the end of the game, and the destination may be better than the journey.

I for one, as a Permanent CHIK player, find much more joy in the things and in the route that I play, which we all know what it is. It's all about viewpoint, what each player, what each person, wants to enjoy. And my full-on Jill route may not be interesting to some (or most) but to me, it makes me feel good as a person that I made the right choices; her dinner party with her friends, the recital, talking Derek out of revenge, flushing the answer sheets, not taking the weed or fake ID.

Those are my personal choices and it's how I see the game. I never went away to college, so I don't have that view of campus college life, but I'm pretty damn sure I'd not do any of the DIK-type stuff in this game as I would IRL. Especially knowing there'd be consequences, and I wasn't raised that way.

I guess being older too makes my thinking to some seem alien. To me, all the DIK choices are "scumbag-y," that's just how I see it; Quinn's restaurant, the Pink Rose, the HOTs, cheating, weed, etc. It's not a path I'd ever want to be on, and in turn, it's not a path my MC will be on.

Like I said, completely personal opinion and point of view.

And being an ass in this game is no different than choosing Rena at the end of AL, because in my opinion, she has HOTs written all over her, as Ana did in my mind. To me, that was the asshole choice in AL; shooting Peter, or being with Leah or Rena, to me, those are bad DIK choices

Interesting to see someone whose opinion on these matters is completely different from my own. You mentioned the way you've been raised as a reason for, well, being a CHICK and it's so unlike what I've been taught. Don't get me wrong - my parents didn't teach me to smoke pot, hehe, but yeah, things like beating up Troy, standing up for yourself against the Alphas, getting revenge on that nerd who threw a water balloon at Derek - those things are natural to me and not to be discussed.

I guess this game is a way for me to experience some things I've never done during my college years. I've done only a few BaDIK-level things for six years of studying and those were some things MC is doing every episode more than once! Bah, fucking pathetic!

Even what you said about Rena is different from what I feel about her, because for me the moment I saw her first time I knew - this is the girl I'm going for.

So yeah, even though your posts seem pretty alien this is exactly why I enjoy them! Hope to read some more from you

Well the MC does know she's a Royce, after he dropped off Cathy at her house, he went back to Bella's and she let that secret out. Well, my MC knows it anyway

Just done with the Bella route for Ep. 8 and holy shit I knew Jill was gonna find out but not THAT blatantly. I expected her to have had walked in after the shit "date" with Tybalt as she might've wanted to vent to Bella but GOD DAMN THINGS DID NOT GO AS EXPECTED AT FUCKING ALL. Damn this is why people don't fuck as much in daylight in front of windows, huh?

Anyway, I felt like Bella's route was more extensive, dramatic, insightful and overall much more attractive than Sage's in Ep. 8. Maybe it could be because we've been left blue-balled in the first few episodes with little to no sex scenes as compared to the other LIs but it really felt like Bella's route was just popping with content this time around. And the femdom shit she pulled was, quite honestly, incredibly sensual and arousing.

Too lazy to get into detail about all my thoughts since it's 2:30 a.m. and I'm feeling lethargic as fuck rn but holy hell Bella's route definitely slays in Ep. 8 IMO. View attachment 1527996

Nice Thought Brother

Such a great scene. Damn.

Here. I did not had time to name the tracks, but it is here. Tell me if you need some pointers.

** It is very possible due to several unstability problems on f95 lately, some of the tracks cannot be uploaded on this post.

EP 8 - Season 2 finale - BaDIK soundtrack

Do you have any music from the other episodes? thread search gave me nothing.

Well we are going to have different views; I'm not apologetic about mine, you're not about yours, and every one else has the freedom to state how they feel. I was raised by my grandparents, so with them (being from the WWII generation), I saw things differently and what they instilled on me was different than what most people might learn, that's probably why I am the way that I am.

I was heavily bullied and picked on in school, and only fought back in self-defense. I was lucky enough to find like-minded people to be friends with that avoided all the "DIK-type" things that this game portrays. I feel lucky about all of it, that's all. I know it's neither here nor there to people these days, but I'm grateful, and thankful.

So if anyone wants to come after me, fine. I'll just Ignore those who do, smile about it, and keep going on.

My personal views aside, let's move on

 

[AsherLikeYou]

I hope we can get Riona as a LI. She's my favorite from the start and I would love to progress further with her <3

 

[Zieniuuu]

Bro I personally couldn't do it, had to fast forward whole scene, now that you made me see her after a phone call made feel sick

 

[Bubba McSmith]

Bella awakening her sexuality has been a pretty big part of her story arc.

The intro to this episode says how adventurous she was sexually in the past (even in public) but something at some point changed and she became the “ice queen”. The MC awakens something in her again (early on she masturbates and comments how no man has made her feel this way in a long time) and the finale of this episode has her back to being sexual.

I think this is more what Bella is like. Fucking on the kitchen table is Bella now she’s gotten over whatever was keeping her the way she was at the start of the story.

I still think Bella's issue was that she lost her child. The room behind the locked door is a nursery, and the death caused her and her husband to split. I could see that turning her into the ice queen. There was something said during the end sequences with Bella where the MC joked that Bella was her mommy. She said never call me that again. At first I thought it was a DPC joke reference to where MC calls Jade mommy all the time, but then I thought about it and now think it has deeper meaning.

It looks like this.
