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

[Lostanddamned]

If you haven't heard it before then you haven't been reading the thread. Admittedly, there is a lot in this thread, so I can see some things being missed.

The idea that she's undercover is basically fueled by her coming from nowhere(other than the strip club, of course) and just seamlessly inserting herself into almost everything. She tries to get inserted into all the party action, not just at a base level but with the people running the show. Every move she makes seems to be about connecting herself with people in positions of power, which means anything that's going on is more likely to be done by those people, or at least connected enough to it to glean information. If the MC is on even a moderately DIKish run and hooks up with her she'll try and attach to him as well, as he's making waves on campus and becoming something of a leader himself. Consider that everybody under the sun knows MC is packing a big dick, dating multiple people (or having at least spread the seed far and wide), and she still pushes him to be her regular. She wants to roll with the MC, a guy who spends a lot of his time in the company of Tommy, Quinn, and even various faculty members.

Could it all be completely unrelated? Sure, it totally could be. It's also just a little too direct and immediate for what amounts to a freshman who just joined the school trying to get an 'in' with all these different folks. MC sorta fell into it, he didn't make connecting himself to power people his motivation.
Ah, but this is the perfect trope, you see. Just like often happens in life, and in all those movies DPC was fond of, the person you want/wants you always shows up after you've gotten into a committed relationship with somebody else. My life wasn't all about the drama, but it happened on occasion. Didn't get together with one of them until 20 years post-schooling. One of us was always dating somebody else in the meantime, and unlike the MC, we weren't big on the cheating angle.

I remember this theory coming out of nowhere (kinda like Lily) and the weirdest thing is that it's based on nothing solid. The part the whole thing falls apart is that it implies that the drug/prostitution ring is so big that it's tracked on a federal level and they send an undercover cop to spoil the whole damn thing and put those in charge behind bars.

I don't remember who came up with it, but whoever came up with it probably watched Donnie Brasco (or read the book), since the guy rips off like the whole plot of the movie.

Yes. DrPinkCake is certainly not lacking when it comes to funding this game. He may be the most profitable developer of porn games out there.

That's not the way I meant it. I am actually going to wind up getting it on Steam especially if it has the soundtracks. The soundtrack in this game is really tight. And this is one of the most well put together games on here. I have nothing but positive things to say on this game.

When did we first see signs of Riona's stalker, out of curiosity?

And why would it have to be considered Federal level? Are you saying only the Feds ever do undercover work?

Thanksgiving or Christmas would be the perfect "Meet the Parents" opportunity. Except.....if you already porked Jade.
The funniest scenario would have been if a Dik MC got to meet Jill's parents.

The first time we got a hint of Riona's stalker was when she mentioned that she felt like she was being followed (I don't remember exactly when, but it might have been Episode 6 or 7).

Joseph D. Pistone mentions it in his book how to actually become an undercover cop. I have to look it up to quote him word by word, but basically before going undercover you are mostly a street agent - dealing with informators and etc. The government isn't that stupid to send some random bozo that's been on patrol for 2 months into an undercover mission in a drug/prostitution ring.

I'm inclined to take his word for it, you know a guy that was undercover in the mafia for 6 years, was on the brink of becoming a made man and his work led to over 100 convictions of mafia members.

I think it was the same episode in which Quinn got robbed, so Episode 6.

after Quinn is robbed, when she talks to Riona in the HOTs garden.

In the movies it's usually like this....
anyone can have an informant but the undercover agents are federal stuff, usually from the DEA

I didn't mean to imply that you meant anything other than your direct question. So, please forgive me for highjacking your post and adding my own comment about DPC's making a shit-ton of money - which I do NOT oppose, by the way.

It's no problem.......you didnt hijack anything or say anything wrong or controversial....and even if you did there's still no apology required.... Yeah the soundtrack on here has that sweet Blink-182/American Pie vibe to it.

Also, keep in mind that some of the characters from the interlude will also pop up in future episodes.

The San Diego crew picking up and following Zoey to B&R city? Why?? Why would they want to do that for someone they hardly know? You don't just drop everything to follow some aimless, wandering vagrant across the country. A vagrant who doesn't even know what she wants in life other than some big dick action. After a few weeks at B&R she will probably again decide she doesn't like it and must instead become an Alaskan fisherwoman because it is her real life's dream and dead granny would have wanted it.

I don't even know why the San Diego crew would want to temporarily visit B&R even they were somehow besties with Zoey. B&R is not exactly a tourist mecca, at least as compared to beachfront property. All they would do is take even more time away from the real cast members. It's bad enough Zoey is coming to town, but Amy Winehouse and Mr. Pink too? Please stay in San Diego.

Now, if you mean MC and friends going to San Diego for spring break, then I guess I could see DPC doing something like that, but the San Diegans visiting B&R, not so much..
And I pray to the F95 porn gods that DPC doesn't do periodic future cutaways to San Diego so we can check back on the exploits of boring people running a slow business that has nothing to do with MC or Being A DIK.

And I'm like you I have no Probs with these devs tried to get paid for their work. I'm still hestitant with some of the others trying to figure out who's reputable and who's not. You got people soaking some people on here and their game hasn't seen an update in two years...lol...I feel bad for some of the other devs because it makes it harder for them.

That's a very reasonable real-world comparison, but we're living in DPC's world, which he himself admits was fueled by a bunch of American Pie and other 80s-90s style films. The informant who helps unravel everything (and maybe catch the MC on a tangent) would absolutely fit in with some of that garbage.

I don't discount your citation of source, he is a good one, but this is brought to us by the same guy who fueled weeks of "Why is Maya so fucking stupid with her student loan issue? LOANS DON'T WORK LIKE THAT!".

As I said originally, it could be entirely coincidental circumstances, it may very well be nothing at all, but it has those threads and I pluck at them on occasion, as do others.

I would say it is almost certain that they will come around again, since the decision about how to deal with Emma is the only one we are obliged to make even if we skip the interlude

and I don't see that as good news, as they seem to me to be anything but memorable characters (the best little to say is the Asian assistant...who I don't think we'll see again)

I really hope that him taking inspiration from comedy films doesn't lead him to go like full 21 Jump Street where MC and Derek go and deal with the whole drug/prostitution ring in like 2 weeks.

But I don't think he's going to take inspiration from Pistone's story either (he said that he doesn't want the game to be dark), in fact I don't even think DPC has ever heard of Joseph D. Pistone/Donnie Brasco.

Those chuckleheads already served their purpose. Zoey is back at B&R so we no longer need them. Mr. Pink just wanted to get his dick wet so he doesn't care enough about Zoey to follow. Amy Winehouse is a backstabber who posted Zoey's intimates without permission..how could they really become future friends? The other guy was gay and I can't remember any of the other characters because Interlude was boring and silly and I only played it once.

San Diego is over and needs to stay over. Not one of the characters beyond Zoey holds any interest in the story of MC at B&R. If Amy's true purpose is revealed later, I hope it is brief and she quickly fucks off to the Winehouse from whence she came.

you know I always want to give you good news--but I can't

DPC allows us to skip the interlude but wants us to decide whether to treat Emma badly or not, so this will have a consequence and the most likely is a future interaction, if it goes well it may even be a simple phone call, but prepare for the worst

 

[joker2008]

and you guys are probably talking about 21 Jump Street the movie which was just like straight dog ....from what 98% of what other people said and looking at the little bits I did see of it I didn't even bother.

when is the next update ?

Dude, I'm old. You can bet your ass if I ever actually reference 21 Jump Street that it is going to be the original series, not that absolute dogshit film series they tried to push. Johnny Depp was in his youthful prime during that run, and most of the rest of the cast was pretty solid, too. Except maybe Jenko. Replacing him with Fuller seemed like a good move.

Channing Tatum and his stoner pals network of bad actors shouldn't be inflicted on anybody.
(I grant an exception for those who just want more of him in his Magic Mike roles. It's definitely not his acting talent on display)

maybe september or maybe october
