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

[DavDR]

Can someone explain to me the ending of chater 8, when MC gets to Sage's house and goes: "all i could think was fuck, fuck, fuck"? i mean i get it if you fucked Jade or if you've been an asshole to Tybalt all of the game. In my case i didnt even flirt with Jade, was even nice to Tybalt and the interactions with Stephen were always cordial so i dont get MC reaction

Nobody knows, it's an example of DPC failing to provide alternate scene's depending on the narrative that came before. This happens a few times in the game. The Ep8 scene is particularly egregious because the MC seems to recognize the building although in some playthru's he's never seen it.

 

[Garen]

As a neutral player I would never have revealed Chad's secret, just on the grounds of being polite.

As a friend of Sage or as someone interested in a relationship I would never hesitate to tell her, it's her right to know.

And regardless of the relationship that I have with Josy, I would never tell her because it's none of her business.

Yeah and as an extension, I also wouldn't hold it against Sage if she revealed it. She has that right.

I did tell Josy the truth on what was bothering me because I consider her a very close friend in my playthrough. Friendship won that particular moral dilemma for me and I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite.

I wouldn't blame you for that, telling Josy. I can see confiding in a friend. It's just that she talks so much.

So there's no harem ending to the game!!! The MC has to pick one and politely tell the rest to fuck off I'm in a relationship. Tell me it isn't so Batman! LOL I was a frat boy in college (Pi Kappa Alpha) and relationships and fraternities don't mix well from personal experience. It's like bringing a sandwich to a smorgasbord!

DPC probably just didn't expect anyone to actually be nice to Tybalt. He's IS the prime example of a person you'd like nothing but to punch in the face, after all. And since it's a game, you're welcome to act based on your animal instincts of ruthlessly beating him up and making him cry.

And as DavDR said, yeah, just DPC failing to provide alternate scenes based on your choices so far. Not really that surprising though, since it would probably add to his workload if he did in fact decide to do them. It's much easier to just leave a general scene that could account for almost any scenario.

Also I think the "Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckkkk." helps the episode end on a nice little cliffhanger, even if it makes no sense based on your choices.

You can use UnRen to unpack the archives "music.rpa" and get all the music of the game in mp3 format.

thanks I will try

Are there any chances of pregnancy in the game?

Probably not in the kink sense, though we've already seen a positive pregnancy test. But we know that is NOT one of the women Tremolo is fucking.

Correction: We know it's not the result of Tremolo fucking anyone - it could still be one of the women he's banged on campus.

What about Aerith?
You think she would be good candidate for the stupidity crown?

I think I'd nominate all the people here in the forum who can't spell character names (repeatedly getting them wrong) despite the fact that they are clearly spelled in the game in every scene they speak in (except Rose, of course).

Top failures? People spelling Riona and Arieth wrong. Also tons of people fucking up Josy and Lily.

Anyone else think that Jill looks like a young Jennifer Connelly.

Not even remotely. The closest Connelly comes to being goblin-like is when she tries to resist banging Jareth.

Hmm, I'm on v0.7.2 so I'm screwed for playing v0.8.0/v0.8.1 and up?

 

[RukiRG]

The way I see it in your playthrough is that Tybalt sees the MC (no matter what) as the one who robbed him of Jill's affection hence Tybalt will surely get in MC's way every chance he get out of vengeance.

As I said earlier, you can be nice with tybalt (chick), but at the end of the day, you still ruin his party... Yes, I know, Derek did it, but tybalt saw you, not derek


LE: you can be nice with tybalt, you can avoid sex scene with Jade and/or the sex tape, you can avoid to be on Jill path... No matter what you will do, Tybalt will see you as an "opponent" for Jill's heart and you will be in trouble for the ruined party... So "fuck, fuck, fuck" scene may be just for that one... And maybe because (if) you rejected Jade (sooner or later) and she may be angry on you. So, no matter what you will do on your gameplay, MC still have reasons to be afraid of that meeting.

Yes, is still strange how he react when he saw the building, BUT... If my memory doesn't trick me, DPC wrote that lines like MC have a bad feeling... Not like he already know the place, so in this way, even if MC fucked Jade at her home or not, he still starts to be worried. But about the last part I'm not 100% sure... So I may be wrong!

Yes

In your current state...

 

[RukiRG]

Hmm, I'm on v0.7.2 so I'm screwed for playing v0.8.0/v0.8.1 and up?

Why would you?

 

[sixart]

Why would you?

Because you can't play chapter 8 on a version that ends with chapter 7... Make total sense right ?!

you're right that Tybalt is the only common threat in every run, but the reaction remains totally exaggerated.

what should he fear? that Tybalt pushes his parents not to help a girl out of spite? for an issue that absolutely doesn't concern Mc in a direct way.

the problem is that it's a scene that SHOULD have different reactions, and if it had to have a common one it should have been one of surprise, not the maximum shock always and in any case

how can it be that MC's reaction when he discovers he has had sex with his girlfriend's stepmother is the same as the one when he discovers his (warm) teacher is his friend's stepmother?

the seismic risk scale is:

high risk
MC in relation to both who chose Sage and then dumped Jade
MC in relation to both who didn't choose Sage and dumped Jade
MC in relation to both who didn't choose Sage and didn't dump Jade

medium low risk
MC who dumped Jade
MC in relation to Jill

low risk
all other situations

possible aggravation of Jade's video doesn't count, because MC doesn't know Burke got hold of it

 

[felicemastronzo]

Trying to know the mind of Dalli is a perilous endeavor, but I think his point was that Sarah told Becky long before Mona even arrived at B&R.

Becky may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she's clearly not incompetent. I can easily believe she'd know enough about the secret tuition deal to cause problems, but still keep the secret well enough that it isn't common knowledge.

everything Becky says is this:

bc "I'm guessing you aren't one of those who just wanted the free tuition! Haha!"
my "..."
my "What do you know about it?"
bc "Aw, come on. You know what I'm talking about. It's a secret HOT code, right?"
bc "But I should zip my lips about it, haha!"

It seems to me a huge leap to think that Becky might know what's behind the "not so" free tuition.
If she knew what the restaurant was, would she be talking to Maya like this?

are you so comfortable accepting that MC knows nothing about it (when he was directly invited to use it) while Becky would have guessed the whole thing....

The only explanation for such a weak ending is that DPC needed to urgently end the episode with an unexpected and dramatic twist. I'm sure no one takes Tybalt seriously as a threat and especially Burke if you go the way of Chick. The only thing he can do is complain to his father or mother about you that you are dating Jill, and it will look pathetic. I think DPC plans to do just that. Burke will refuse MC because of Tybalt and MC will ask Jill for help.
And then it turns out that Jill's sister is a lesbian and left home because of this and she will want to help Maya and same time to honor her sister's memory and even organizes an event dedicated to the problems of people with non-traditional orientation.

as a twist it could have been used easily, it makes no sense to have given it practically only one variant (if we went with Jade there is some more dialogue as MC recognises the house)

Mc has nothing to fear from Burke, he doesn't even know he's obsessively hitting on Bella, their only interaction is when there's Chad's attack to deal with, but in that episode Burke is absolutely benevolent with MC. it's us players who know some dark background about him.

And Burke (and maybe Jade) will talk to Maya probably without even knowing that Mc is there (he waits outside with Josy)

it's really very forced to think that Tybalt could have an influence on the matter, Burke would have to talk to him about it (it's a private problem of a student anyway) and Tybalt would have to link Maya to MC

knowing DPC's anti-climactic management I wouldn't be surprised if Jade wasn't even present at the meeting, so even in the worst case scenario nothing happens and everything is postponed.

 

[RukiRG]

You both (Pasha and felice) are right... In your way. But... You use your own brain, not MC one. MC may be afraid because he knows how dangerous may be Tybalt. Honestly now, he was able to blackmail Jill. He is "mommy little boy" (ramember the scene at prep party when Jade asks him to bring a drink), so he can have a big influence in that scene. In my opinion DPC tried to do a scene convenient for any path/gameplay you choose. I still think that he run late with ep8 launch (probably because one of his relatives died; remember his post on patron) so he didn't tried (/have time) to make two different scenes with different dialogue.. And at the end of the day, he choosed a middle way which we already know. And yes, adding his classic drama for the end of the episode... But that drama was just a "bonus"

 

[kyrlian]

I'd go with that theory sooner than the one everyone usually pushes for teenaged cop Lily. Arieth actually being smart and/or undercover would be just the kind of silly stunt DPC would really get a thrill from dropping on players later in game. Or perhaps having Arieth actually be an idiot savant who puts MC and Magnar to shame by easily solving a problem in one of their STEM classes..while students and teacher all look on with mouths agape. Then she goes right back to dumb by spouting a normal Ariethism.

"Arieth, A Beautiful Mind"

"Stripper Teenaged Cop Lily" would be the kind of movie you watch in a double feature with "Bikini Girls on Dinosaur Planet."

Why would Mc consider Tybalt dangerous? In no situation does he seem afraid of him (rightly so).

the blackmailing of Jill lowered his dangerousness, not increased it. if it was still going on I could also understand.
Mc always knew he was Jade's son and possibly never a problem, so even if he humiliated him on the occasions he had he obviously didn't consider it a big deal.

does he have the guilt to be a problem for Maya? so desperate?
