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

[felicemastronzo]

If I took you too seriously that is a pity because it was a thoughtful response to a puzzling situation in the game. One of the weaknesses of the interlude is its fast and loose approach to the timeline. A lot of times the scenes are only shown to be a time jump by the progress of Zoey's body art, as if she is in a fugue state where she is just sleepwalking through life. This isn't an unusual state for depressed people to be in. But it is disconcerting for us because we are used to playing Tremolo and he always seems to be overscheduled and running against the clock. Time is very important in his world and almost an irrelevance to hers. I find it to be an interesting dichotomy but I do understand that is going to confuse and irritate players more often than not.

you're right, with the right time to develop it wouldn't have been overly disconcerting

if there had been time for us to realize that Emma still had feelings for Bret, if we had seen Bret actually have some excessive attention towards Zoey, everything would have seemed more natural to us as far as drama goes

instead the jealousy and Emma's reaction comes out almost out of nowhere, too sudden not to leave us interdicted

unfortunately the interlude wasn't long enough to really tell anything, it just listed the important events and if we exclude games and sex at the end it wasn't that much more significant than a normal flashback

I believe that it is most likely a false lead

we can't tell from the scene if Sage is really angry, she might just want to leave quickly, or because the meeting didn't go as she hoped or simply because she doesn't want to stay any longer than necessary, and having searched for that Mc after not finding it

MC's reaction in the bathroom is different depending on his choices. If you fucked both Sage and Jade he looks worried. He has his eyes closed if you pursued either Sage or Jade and looks calm if you didn't pursue either of them.

But are you still talking about the threat of it happening or the fact that it might actually happen?

It's the sum of all fears LOL, nah, it's still pretty much the setup, Maya loves Josy, Father disapproves and tricks Maya blackmailing her, the escape is a free tuition, first Maya wants to join the HOT's to get that free tuition, she joins but no free tuition, next will be the Burke meeting, will she fall for Burke's scheme? i don't think so but do i see any solution from Burke not involving sex with Maya? Nope, not gonna happen, but there will be an escape one way or the other so what will it be?
Giving up Josy? Accidently running over Patrick with a car 25 times? What will be the climax? A happy one? Hopefully, but yeah it's not guaranteed either....

but then my head would be to big to put my shirts on

This solution comes with risks as well... at least your shirt will still fit... but unsure that you will still have your head... aaaaanyways stare into this for a couple of hours and afterwards you will see the mysteries of the universe Even that the tattoo isn't Isabella... I mean IS Isabella

I downloaded episode 9 saves and used the new persistent file you provided. In scenes it shows epi 8 are all locked???

Please read all instructions. Episode 9 Start Saves and Season 3 Persistent belongs in the new binary for Being a DIK (ie. Being a DIK Interlude) which will be labeled "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494" in your Renpy Saves folder.

To unlock all Episode 1-8 content you'll need to put those saves and Season 1-2 Persistent in a folder labeled "BeingaDIK-1535311494"

The numbers at the end of the file name might be different for you. Hope this helps!!

It's typically understood as when a person is cheated on.

In a game like BaDIK, it would be like if one of the main LIs (Jill, Bella, Maya, Josy or Sage) cheated on the main dude after they were dating the main dude.

Some people get off on the idea of being cheated on.

Of course if it's happening in reverse (like the mc fucking Jade, who is a married woman), none of us give a shit, except for her husband, Stephen, but then again, he looked like he was getting off on it when he was watching that video. Now hopefully that shit raises its head next episode!

But yeah, some games like to put the hero in an absolutely devastating situation where the love of his life went off and fucked some other dude. Some players have a total meltdown when it happens, some love the drama, and some couldn't give a fuck because, pixels...

In the end, it's a highly polarising plot device, that has its niche, but is typically avoided like the plague in many games. BaDIK seems to be one of those games that avoids it due to the total lack of sexual history with most characters even though they seem to be highly sexual beings.

Ultimately it shouldn't even be discussed in this thread because it has fuck all to do with this game, but people love arguying about it for some reason.

Fuck, I just got roped into the discussion didn't I...

like when play FOTM and melinda got sex pill and fap paul......

0.8.2 Mac version still crashes, that's why I had to download the previous Android version, but this export version I can't import now... what to do now?

 

[Night Hacker]

what is NTR... nvm google it.

NTR is not when someone is being cheated on as someone else implied. It is when someone gets off on watching their partner sleep with someone else.

Cheating is when you fool around on your partner without their knowledge or approval.

NTR is fooling around on your partner with their knowledge and approval.

For starters I would download the Mac packages that are needed...

But there is more... since I'm not a mentalist I don't know if you updated your game via offiacial or unofficial package... sadly that one is on you... but if you had the official 0.7.2 which was updated to 0.8.0 via unofficial which was patched via unofficial 8.1 update that won't work either... that will need these too

Hope this was not too confusing... but if it was I'd suggest you make good use of this case and learn something from it !

Ah, so you say if I make a 0.8.2 with these two version it shouldn't crash? I will give it a try, thanks I downladed the MAC version from the 1. post btw.

why not just use cuckold....is NTR soft word? like lets go brandon?

 

[vogelbeest]

why not just use cuckold....is NTR soft word? like lets go brandon?

It's japanese, short for netori (cucking someone) netorare (being cuckold forced) netorase (willing cuckold)
F95 uses a much broader description (basicly any sexual action to make the MC jealous)
And there's been threads turned into something like a battlefield by the pro and anti crowd...
It also means Nuclear Thermal Rocket, dunno if that has anything to do with the damage it can cause to a thread....

I just did some sexting with Cathy in the Swyper app. I gotta get her "IRL".

I'll never understand how some people get so upset over it. I can take it or leave it. If a game has too much of something i don't like, I stop playing it and move on to something else. I see no reason to go into warrior mode against something someone else likes.
