Does anyone know how DPC does his blinking "animations?" Is it just two or three different images displayed in quick succession (eye open, eye halfway, eye closed)? Also, his fade/dissolve between images seems to be at the perfect interval. Is it just a straight fade or he use a specific time such as ex. 0.7 seconds, etc? Some games have a jarring transitions, but BaDIK's flow quite smoothly. I think I like his method of transitions more than any other I've seen.

My crack theory about the van is it's the same person/people who did the cathy cluck, trashed DIK mansion, and stole from Quinn in ep6 instead of cops or something
It's true. Pink said that he regularly reads fan theories and is surprised that many guess the right plot twists. It is possible that this blue van, as well as the lights outside the MC bedroom window in episode 6 do not mean anything at all and this is a common joke. Although we have already seen an example when Chad's sneakers in Troy's room led us to the theory of their homosexual relationship.

If the van " might be " nothing at all then THIS is nothing at all as well Conclusion : both are placed there specifically to " mean something " even though it's just a guessing game now what it actually is... Anyhow most of the folks haven't even picked up on such little things coz as it seems growing number of " players " are hitting the TAB or sleeping on the CTRL...
Someone really walked outside the window. But we can only speculate who it is. It could just be Elena who went to her boyfriend. Or it's Quinn who was dating a traitor.
I don't recall who spotted the sneakers, but I think folks were discussing Chad being gay well before that was pointed out. It was a mix of his overreaction to the gay jokes and the fact that he wouldn't touch Sage. If you're not interested in a girl you break up with her, you don't keep her around - unless you need her to be your beard, which Chad absolutely did. Once he got the boot from the Tri-As he didn't have to worry as much, the focus was no longer on him as the leader of the jocks. If the MC is fooling around with Sage at this point, that also gives him a minor excuse to factor in when finally breaking up with her.
Sage/Quinn was definitely not my favourite threesome in the game.
It was a fun scene, but it was mostly emotionless, the mc was "used" by the girls (the good kinda used) and there was no chemistry. Most of the time he was just being dominated by Quinn, who was definitely showing off in front of Sage.
This all makes sense though, Quinn isn't about to be intimate with the mc in front of Sage (even if you're on Quinn's path, obviously no chance of intimacy if you're not friends with her), and Sage was more "wow I'm having a threesome", than "Oh fuckface, this is almost a 4!".
The scene was definitely lacking in chemistry and intimacy compared to other threesomes, like Quinn and Riona, where the mc kisses Quinn for the first time:
At that point, the mc should have lowered Quinn's mask and kissed her. She was thinking about him at the moment so she would have been into it, then she could have looked panicked for a second and look back at Sage to see she didn't notice. Then the rest of the scene could have continued.
This works well with the earlier discussion where Sage is trying to get Quinn to do something lewd with the mc, and Sage even says, "It's for fun. I know you don't kiss guys, but lick or grab him or something."
But yeah, the only kissing that took place in that sex scene was between Sage and Quinn, and that was once again Quinn being dominant and trying to shock.
So all in all, I don't think the scene was badly done, it actually made a lot of sense, but it could have been tweaked to elevate it a bit.
Great post. I too would’ve liked to have seen some differences in the threesome, depending on whether you’re pursuing Quinn. There are some nice variations in the lead-up to it and afterwards, but the threesome itself is the same regardless. Your suggestions would’ve been an improvement!
Story-wise, as I argued here, I think it still works, if you view it as a type of performance only, without that emotional dimension to it - whether it’s Quinn showing off, as you say, or Sage ticking something off her bucket list, the circumstances mean that neither one is in a place where they feel comfortable being open with MC about how they feel. And so it works for a Quinn who likes MC and one who “can’t stand” him.
But I also think it’s possible the explanation for why he didn’t put more nuance into the threesome might come down to time. Dev time for episode 8 was really long and he packed a lot in. I’m sure there are things he just had to cut because if he didn’t he’d probably never finish. Maybe the extended Jill and Bella scenes (and all those many many positions) explain why some other aspects weren’t as nuanced.

Exactly. There is no doubt in my mind that DrPinkCake has placed these breadcrumbs deliberately for us to ponder/speculate/worry about. Whether they are significant or just more red herrings is unknown to any of us. Oh well, the speculations do liven up the board though.
As for those 'players', the one who took the cake was the one who complained using false information, then after being called out, whined that he couldn't be bothered reading the details.
Riona's stalker shoes do not match the shoes on the van. The shoes of the stalker have a black stripe in the sole, which is missing from the shoes of the van.
Good catch! But that doesn't debunk the theory that this stalker's reason for watching Riona is not what he said it was. What the hell IS he doing on his cell after fleeing from the MC?
I replayed it again, I think what happened was after the whole Emma jealous rage with phone pictures, I felt it was not interesting. So I probably skipped over some of the dialog.
I thought the whole abrupt jealousy act from Emma came out of nowhere. Unless that was her whole motive for taking the pictures. Because after that Zoey just lost all motivation for surfing and living there.
I do hope they dont't force Zoey to be the LI for the MC. I get that she is back and thinks things are going to return to normal and the MC is going to drop everything that he has going. Personally I feel she is going to be a thorn in his side but will have to wait and see.

The moral of this is that one should not make statements when they don't know what the %!&# they are talking about.
I have previously suggested that Emma had been jealous of Zoey for months, and had planned out the whole beach-pictures scene in advance, to do exactly what she did.
As for Zoey being forced as a love interest: aside from the fact that she already is one and has been for years, DrPinkCake is not going to force you to do anything sexually with her or anyone else. But she will be there, doing whatever DPC decides she should be doing. What your MC does with her will be completely up to you, though.

DPC probably won't force the player to do anything sexual with Zoey (and would that be good news? ) but it will almost certainly force us to watch in amazement as MC and perhaps the LI we chose in chapter eight have their next crisis of conscience.
"go talk to her!!! you need to rid your heart of any doubts before you build our love nest of rose petals and cotton balls!"
"please put your underwear back on, I can't...I need to clear up with Zoey first, I haven't heard from her in months, but in a corner of my heart I've always hoped she'd come back!!!"
so might as well get over it, MC will be shocked by Zoey (as we can already see in the interlude when Neil tells him about her arrival)
