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

[ChipLecsap]

That's exactly the case for Jill though, aside from a few bad dates she has no real experience. It's even the first time Maya is with a man. But the only person that has to deal with NTR is Chad if you are on Sage's path. But he had it coming.

And Tybalt, and Burke, and Steve , and Tommy, he obviously wanted Quinn. Dave. Derek, Anthony, May be Bella's hubby if he is alive . So you were saying what ?

 

[kihality]

That what a Ntr fan would say

Not really mate, first of all I'm kinda new here, I've seen people discussing it a lot but I've never really understood what NTR is. Is it when we're cheated? So when we cheat on a certain LI (which happens all the time) is it also considered to be NTR? Second, I like to play these games like if they were a movie, with real women who interact not only with us but with many others and who might (or might not) choose us for our actions and choices

"she's not an ex who bailed on the mc." - Of course she was, just because she refused to acknowledge it with the excuse that she's not "good at feelings" doesn't mean she isn't. Just look at how he talks about her and his reactions, he was clearly upset about she leaving (the bench scene) while she was happy about it and even started ghosting him. That's pretty damn lame even if you look at them as just long time childhood friends.

I think my problem with the interlude is that the whole thing is designed to make you feel sorry for her so you welcome her back when in reality MC is the one that got hurt. Seriously, her whole story is based on generating pity and the death of her grandmother is part of it. Everything she wanted went to shit so she comes back crying, it's really hard for me to find her interesting because of that.

you're pretty much putting it all on zoey. they both didn't define the relationship. obviously she knows that mc wasn't happy about it, she herself mentions it in the dialogue. she's staying happy and upbeat because she doesn't want to put a downer into the conversation. the first thing she does on the train is draw a picture of him, do you really think she didn't have mc in mind? she also suggested for him to come with her so i don't understand why you think she left him, when in reality he didn't go with her. they both understood they had different paths here. the ghosting thing is because she thought she was giving him space to heal, she herself never intended to stop communications until she saw emma and bret's situation.

the interlude is not meant for you to be feel sorry for her. the interlude was there to show you her personality and to fill you in on "her side" of the story. it was designed to show you her epiphany moment with her life and how she went about it. she shows you how she found her real passion. she realizes what was really important in life and decided to go after that instead of her childhood dream. it generates no pity.

outside of quinn/bella i think she's the most interesting character.

And Tybalt, and Burke, and Steve , and Tommy, he obviously wanted Quinn. Dave. Derek, Anthony, May be Bella's hubby if he is alive . So you were saying what ?

I don't care about them. It has nothing to do with a main path.

With the branching, I won't be surprised if we enter some similar therotory, Sage even mention she not gonna wait, so who know. But yet again, its mostly about its a God Damn waste of time. 6 months for an update. We know folks would btich about that I would to. The second sex of Interlude was just thorwn there for the sake of porn, that alone probably a week he could have spend on episode 9 instead.

so far the story, never felt its needed it, the only time I felt he was playing a bit Safe, truly safe , was the Bella flashback. And that is the only time when its actually would as a deep impact if the bitch catch Bella and her hubby while they making out. Becasue at least it would make sense why she send her home, Bella basically didn't do anything. It would not make the - I don't know her name - the Bitch, any less Bitch, but would make more sense story wise, and for the Hubby to feel guilty about it.

but every other things is just nitpicking. You don't have to see, lily or envy serving a consumer in the VIP room, You know you are not the only one, same with Rio or Cammy. Unless MC is presented in some way. This recent episode party was a nice touch regarding that. But 6 months, man. I might die before episode 9

We are halfway through the game and surely there will be chances to get back into the paths of the LIs (in addition to the always expected only routes for Maya and Josy) so I see it difficult that some LIs will be taken out of the game.

what are you referring to for Sage? i remember almost the opposite, that is to say that when we tell her that we are not going to continue our story with her, she reminds us to warn her if things go wrong.... Sage wait, always wait, potentially it's the LI we can turn down multiple times

Don't believe this guy. Here's what he calls a "potato PC" - 16-core Intel Core i9-12900K clocked @ 4.0 Ghz, 128 GB of RAM, 64 GB of VRAM 3x NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3090, 1 TB SDD + 3 TB HDD.

This is turning me on.
That is almost similart to my pc, except I have 20 cores, one rtx 3090 and more SSDS and HDDS. The funniest thing is the only game I've been playing lately is Football Manager.

 

[Ilhares]

Is it highly recommended to play the interlude? if i did not play it, am i gonna miss a lot of important thing or nah?

I suspect you'll find that you have to play it, just to get your save data imported. I don't expect episode 9 to have an import for S2, but it might.

Anyone please tell me what is the specialty of Interlude season 3..there was already a season 3 in the v8.0.2

The interlude is after season 2, leading in to season 3. We did not have a season 3 in v.082, there was Chapter 3.
Season 1 = Chapters 1-4
Season 2 = Chapters 5-8
Season 3 = (Interlude)+Chapters 9-12

It remains to be seen if we get a Season 4, I don't think I've seen DPC directly confirm that, even with his in-game reference to 16 chapters.

Alternatively (and probably more realistically), I can see Sage saying, "You can let go of her hand now, Stephen."

For some reason that just brings to mind the scene at the end of Animal House (1978) "You can take your thumb out of my ass any time now, Carmine."

Linux/Ubuntu works fine on my potato PC

How do you define potato, I wonder?

Don't believe this guy. Here's what he calls a "potato PC" - 16-core Intel Core i9-12900K clocked @ 4.0 Ghz, 128 GB of RAM, 64 GB of VRAM 3x NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3090, 1 TB SDD + 3 TB HDD.

I'm concerned about the missing 8GB of VRAM in that configuration. The RAM/GPU combo would certainly beat what I have right now, but the rest of it is inferior, I need real numbers here, people!

And I still can't play crysis at 60fps

Now I know you're both fulla shit. Crysis can absolutely run at 60FPS these days. (yes, the original, not that neutered sequel crap with smaller textures)

And now I'm picturing the game with BaDIK character skins in place of the suits. A mechanized Jill terrorizing foreign nationals? Yeah, I can totally envision this. Doesn't work as well with Josy, she's too small.

about Bella's life with her husband, we have two evidences: the picture in the bedroom (where they don't kiss to be sure) and the flashback. in the flashback she treats him little better than she treats Burke when he visits her. she treats him in such a cold and unnatural way that many think that actually Bella would be talking to herself at the memory of her already dead/disappeared husband.

Bella's boss' reaction is weird. She sends her off home, just for having a conversation with her husband? That's ridiculous. What's more concerning is that Bella's boss doesn't even acknowledge James' presence in the room - it's like he's not even there, which is an eerie feeling I got during the scene.

They get outside and DPC uses a camera technique called "Deep Focus", where an object in the background also happens to be in sharp focus and be seen clearly. In that scene it's weird - there's that guy with the glasses that's watching them, he's clearly in focus and he's like in the center of the screen. His reactions to Bella and James' conversation are headscratching, because they are concerning and Bella and James' didn't talk anything extraordinary anyway, but his reaction is also an alarming hint.

Which leads us to the theory itself - James' isn't there with Bella in the library, he's a hallucination/projection of her mind and she was talking to herself the entire time. Now what happened to him is up for guess, but the most fitting version is that he's dead and it's something that Bella can't accept - she had a nervous breakdown and has some serious mental issues, so it's easier to explain why she's waiting for him to come back.

 

[ChipLecsap]

That's what makes it kinda silly. Jill should be DIK only.

Funny, but actually true. and Sad. I think Bella and Maya should've been the Chick path, Sage all path, and Josy and Jill should been the Dik path. They need a " Bad boy " , would been more entertaining.
But yeah as Felice said, we are in half way, may be things will change. May be I need a path were Jill reject me, just so later she would regret it.

Flashback Bella > Game Bella

Not even close tbh

it could be, that in BADIk a little bit of the Sixth Sense is coming doesn't sound like a good news, but even if it is we'll find out in a couple of years... so it's useless to tell us about it

for me it's a normal and insignificant flashback, made strange and disturbing by the absolute refusal to show any sexual scene with a LI and not with the cock of the MC

Rich girl, bad boy? Story basically writes itself

It could be like in Inception, where Cobb isn't sure if his wife is dead or alive. We know DPC likes to take inspiration from a lot of different things, so it's a possibilty.

That's explainable. You want the retards in his Discord to riot and have a meltdown even if she just kissed James? It's pretty obvious that he's never going to show any of the LI's even kissing some other guy other than the MC.

Fuck, it's Crazy, but it's Crazy good, unlike Dalix . Fuck I don't even think of that. I'm gonna watch that scene now, I never really paid too much attention to it, but Shit. This some M. Night Shyamalan, right there.

 

[FlamesOfVengeance]

Man I guess it really is hard to get into the game now, huh? I mean just to make sure, I would need to download that 0.8.2 version, right? It does include Season 1 and 2 I reckon? But how can I actually do that when all hosts are pretty much dead aside from Mega? Mega is great and pretty fast but the game is 18GB big and the limit is 5GB unless you get Mega premium or something...

Is there any other way to download it?

If you are on M&J's path and it comes to a split I can see Josy being fine with a DIK MC. She doesn't have any real CHIK checks during lewd scenes like Maya and Bella have to get extra scenes either. You may not get all of her relationship points but I don't think she will kick you to the curb like Jill does. She still wants to be with the MC even if you get rejected for the truple.

If I wanted it to be Dalli-like, I would have said that Bella and Lynette are sisters, because both of them wear the color red at one point during the game. Also, Bella married James, but James is MC's real dad, because James, Lynette and Monica were in some weird throuple relationship and MC and Tommy happen to be half-brothers.

Hard? It's pretty much the easiest game to get. It's been released on GOG, just google it on usual torrent sites and it's there.

Oof... torrent? Aren't torrent sites pretty sketchy? Never tried getting games that way tho.
