Read into it what you will.

Thank you. After having played Acting Lessons, and then with the huge warning at the start of this game, I've never wavered in my belief that this is going to end badly. The only question is how bad.

And honestly, with all these characters I'm starting to think one or two deaths would be pretty interesting for the story, as long as we got to see how everyone reacted to it. It could really shake things up in an interesting way.

 

[forthewins]

I'm sure it would be controversial, but I had this idea recently while playing. What if people all of a sudden started disappearing? And the game turned into a mystery / slasher kind of thing?

I bet most people would be against this as it wasn't what they signed up for. But with all this set up and with you already knowing the characters so well I think it could be really fascinating, personally.

It'd be a lot more interesting than listening to 50 people tell you how great your MC is in every chapter. Not that I'm complaining. I do like the game a lot as is. But I think it could get a whole lot more interesting if it gets darker in a way that's done well.

I dunno, that final scene on the train, perhaps it was intentionally left as ambiguous, but I always read it that it was the mc that brought that smile on her face:

The fact that she says "The feeling I tried to hard to push back and ignore." wasn't just that she missed her mom.

And her reference to "Home Blindness." wasn't just that home had some good things there.

She was kidding herself that she didn't have feelings for the mc. And she'd been doing it for so long she'd almost convince herself.

All that time in the past, she took the mc for granted. They hung out all the time, pretty much lived in each other's houses.

Spoiler: And she planned for him to be in her future.

Her exact words, "...he can come to join me". Not "visit me". She wanted them to be back together in the future.

She doesn't like talking about feelings, so she never put a name to what it was she felt for the mc other than they were "friends".

But a friend who:

• You hang out with all the time
• You fuck regularly
• You kiss spontaneously
• You want to be with in the future
• You doodle their face on a fucking train
• You simply just smile when you think of them
• You reminisce about when you're alone in your room
• Is the only person in your diary other than your mom, your grandma and god (at least the first half of her diary until she went to San Diego)

There's a name for that kind of relationship, and it's not "friend with benefits".

Spoiler: She loves him

You know... Now I understand why there are people who don't want Zoey to come back because with everything you wrote and how detailed it is written and explained, it's normal that they don't want to... Because Zoey makes her virtual girlfriends look like filler characters of those that are in the background

I like almost everything about this series so far, but could almost care less about this Zoey girl from the past as I feel like the MC is over her. Sure she may come back into his life, but what does she bring to the table for him. She is a H.S dropout that ran away seeking better and not looking back, now that she didn't find that she comes back; sorry to little to late. MC has grown beyond HS Zoey into the a DIK house. This is just my opinion. This part of the interlude is just filler for a girl; not the women in college life. Honestly I'm not invested any thought of her as potential except maybe as another hole to fill, but then there are already better to choose from.

Just a random question that… randomly popped into my mind:

With the drama potentially escalating with Vinny (and his gang?), what’s the likelihood that the mc will have a gun in his hand at some point in the story? Just a random musing…

I like almost everything about this series so far, but could almost care less about this Zoey girl from the past as I feel like the MC is over her. Sure she may come back into his life, but what does she bring to the table for him. She is a H.S dropout that ran away seeking better and not looking back, now that she didn't find that she comes back; sorry to little to late. MC has grown beyond HS Zoey into the a DIK house. This is just my opinion. This part of the interlude is just filler for a girl; not the women in college life. Honestly I'm not invested any thought of her as potential except maybe as another hole to fill, but then there are already better to choose from.

By the end of the Interlude Zoey had finished high school; just wanted to note that.

Also, while you may not be remotely interested (you’re not alone), I doubt the mc would consider a girl he’s known for years and often referred to as his best friend, as just “another hole to fill.”

What she brings to the tables is years of friendship.

Given the method DPC used to re-inject her into a story, a story that only spans a few months but took 3 years to tell so far, it’s natural for readers to have more interest in characters we’ve been exposed to for so long vs one we’ve only just “met”.

But it’s literally the opposite for the mc. He’s only just met Maya, Bella and everyone (a few months, Josy’s been a little longer), where as he’s known Zoey for many years and had a very close relationship with her.

Looks like DPC finally start to improve Jill appearance.

As much as I like Jill I’d be the first to admit her goblin teeth are a little off putting.

I think the model is overall ok but there’s just something off… far from my favourite.

 

[sixart]

Read into it what you will.

Hmmm... The mask here is indeed showing a plague mask but it's purpose here and it's design shows that this one is just a toy in S&M games Guess this indicates what I think will happen during this so called " Halloween Party "

But Y not?

I'm so glad you did not miss it... Y would you ?
Y not ? Because this would make the Horse - Monkey - Dog scene so much more complicated...

I totally agree, but I'm shocked that someone that has Jill plastered all over their profile said this, haha.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

For fuck's sake, sorry Bella fans, but it would be madness to end up with Bella, an unhinged, angry, scary looking, (potentially literal) skeletons in the closet, weighed down with baggage psycho, whom the mc actually knows pretty much fuck all about, over Zoey, his childhood friend that he gets on with like a house on fire (ok, bad use of phrase given the dev).

Just a random question that… randomly popped into my mind:

It's very possible, maybe a gun or a knife or something since Vinny seems like the sort not to fuck around. Could even be Burke with the gat if he's backed into a corner. But since the MC already has established kickboxing skills, learned from his dad no less, he might simply disarm whoever is attacking him instead. So ironically in this scenario, Chekhov's Gun would be the MC's hand-to-hand skills - it's much more fitting and satisfying to the narrative for him to not pick up any weapon at all and to simply beat the shit out of anyone who comes at him with one. Any old MC can pick up a gun, ours is undefeated at Brawler

 

[Darkwen]

In wait for EP9 I think of a very important question Josy asked:

I do wounder if you said you like some hair down there if Josy will grow a bush like she had in MC's dream. Josy would look super sexy like that she would also look super sexy as is because she is super sexy. Might be circle reasoning buy in this case it works out just fine.

 

[vogelbeest]

In wait for EP9 I think of a very important question Josy asked:

I think it's a game choice for all girls there, try loading from that point and choose the other option, and see if all girls have a bush after that.... No need to wait for ep 9.... Not sure though, i never picked the hairy path.

I'd love some pub hair in Josy. But i always pick that i like shaven because i don't wanna make her sad

The only thing I can guarantee when episode 9 comes out is the number of comments saying

Why my Save doesn't work?
I don't want to play the interlude I want to play directly episode 9
Is there a way to skip the interlude?
Why don't my saves appear?
Help me I can't jerk off... Wait what?

 

[FlyinginTime]

Here you go guys. Every save, for every route, for Seasons 1, 2, and the start of 3. NO mods. Mini games turned ON. All scenes unlocked. All special renders found. All 2D Art purchased/unlocked. All upgrades such as Brawler Skills/Derek Cheats/Magnar Bonuses/Picture Frames and Wallet Quantity unlocked for all routes, with the exception of all Dik routes (Magnar Bonuses still remaining). Mansion Repair Completed for all routes. I used "Stevan" as MC's name and "SexyMexican98" for my Swyper/Rooster tag. You can change those with the phone in game as well as Music Favorites/PetNames/Ringtones/Wallpapers. Each folder contains saves for the start of each episode so don't get confused with the "Episode 9 start" saves, there is no Episode 9 yet, just "End of Interlude" saves. All save files contain the following routes.

- Dik Sage Hots and Sides: In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I pursue Sage as my Love Interest as well as every Side Girl Possible. I chose to commit to Sage at the end of Crossroads, but if I can pursue others, then I will, until it is no longer viable. Total Man-Whore route.

- Dik Hots and Sides: In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I used to pursue Sage as my Love Interest but chose not to commit at the end of Episode 8 in order to keep pursuing every side chick possible. Total Man-Whore.

- Dik Sage Path : In this route I pursue Permanent Dik Affinity and Status. I pursue Sage as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue side girls in this route.

- Neutral Maya and Josy: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. I also embrace the current throuple relationship with the 2 Lesbian Love Interests, Maya and Josy. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route

- Neutral Maya Path: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. Even though I'm forced to be in a throuple (for now) I don't engage sexually with Josy in any way if I can help it. Only Maya. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. As of now there is no way to pursue a Solo Route with Maya (I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Neutral Josy Path: In this route I pursue Neutral Affinity and Status. Even though I'm forced to be in a throuple (for now) I don't engage sexually with Maya in any way if I can help it. Only Josy. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. As of now there is no way to pursue a Solo Route with Josy (I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Chik Jill and Bella: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue the 2 Best-Friend Love Interests, Jill and Bella. . I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route. I choose to pursue Bella by the end of Episode 8 in hopes of bringing Jill back around (Not likely, I see this route being scrapped in the long run)

- Chik Jill Path: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue only Jill as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route.

- Chik Bella Path: In this route I pursue Permanent Chik Affinity and Status. I pursue only Bella as my Love Interest. I DO NOT pursue any side girls in this route.

Side Note for "Dik Sage Hots and Sides": This routes is mainly preserved to see the drama unfold between Sage and Jade in Episode 9 when it drops. As well as to have your cake and to eat it too with Sage and all the Side Girls (If possible, if not then this route will be scrapped in the long run). If you aren't interested then you can pretty much just ignore this save all together.

Side Note for "Dik Sage Path": If it turns out that getting a hand-job from Jade in Episode 3 and Punching Tybalt in Episode 5 has negative effects on your future relationship with Sage, then I will go back and change my choices (Mind you theses choices were made in the pursuit of Permanent DIK affinity) . I hope you guys won't mind the missing bars at the end of DIK scale but this route is for Sage only. Hopefully nothing will come of these choices since I did not pursue Jade any further after the classroom hand-job. And since you fuck Sage on Tybalt's bed, I'm hoping she won't mind that you pop him in the mouth.

Side Note for Maya/Josy Solo Routes: If it turns out that it's best to "Remain Friends" in Episode 4 and then "Have Feelings For Maya/Josy" in Episode 5 in order to get a proper solo route for Maya/Josy, in the long run, then I will go back and change my choices. But for now, I'll stay in the throuple in order to obtain sex scenes with each girl in their respective route. At this point in the story, it's highly unlikely that we'll be getting our solo routes. I will hold on to these saves in case they're needed for girl specific sex scenes (much like their first threesome) But for everyone that uses my saves, it's probably safe to delete both of them.

Side Note for "Chik Jill and Bella": All context included, this route is likely dead in the water. I will keep it up so everyone has a save they could use to see how the drama unfolds. But other than that, it's probably safe to delete as well. I don't see Jill coming back around, nor do I see Bella letting Jill into their relationship.

Side Note for all Saves: Episodes 1-8 Saves and Season 1&2 Persistent will be stored in separate folder labeled "BeingaDIK-1535311494" whereas the Interlude Start Saves, Episode 9 Start Saves as well as Season 3 Persistent will be stored in a folder named "BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494". The numbers at the end may be different for you. Your Renpy saves can be found here

You must be registered to see the links

. DO NOT attempt to put Season 1&2 files into the new Interlude. It will cause errors.

Side Note for Transfer Data: This file is the binary data for the saves stated above that will be stored for import in Season 3. This file is stored in a folder labeled "persistent" in your Renpy Saves folder. Your Renpy saves can be found here

. If you are unable to figure out where to find/store this file, despite the link, then to avoid confusion, it's best to load the "Episode 8 End Saves" in Season 1-2 of Being a DIK, then save the binaries in game when prompted. Your computer will take care of the rest for you. You just have to click "Import" in the Main Menu of Season 3 (Interlude)

Hi I really appreciate your post, everything works fine but the special renders are not getting unlocked. Am I doing something wrong?

It shouldn't come as a surprise those who cheat will land in and since one cleared the Interlube it can be skipped... as to why not my saves appear... Y would they ? The last one is for noodles to figure out Or better not

Hi I really appreciate your post, everything works fine but the special renders are not getting unlocked. Am I doing something wrong?

Yup... those are " stored " in your persistent !

You corrupt your own save files not the game...
