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

[Ilhares]

Any torrent for Season 1&2? Game is too big to download from nopy(sppeds are abysmal) or paying for mega ugh.

NOPY is long dead, if you're referencing them you're out of touch with this thread in the first place. And you don't have to pay for mega, you can bypass limitations with a VPN to skip to different countries and resume the file.

There is in fact a torrent out there, but I've had multiple posts deleted for referencing it, because the person who hosts the site requires users to sign in to use it. Absolutely worth it, though, the bandwidth has been glorious.

Better yet, put a dick in her mom.

I forgot who we were talking about here, but if it was Amelia, yes.

If Isabella was widowed, that would be in her personnel file

Things must be very different where you've worked. I've dealt with a number of HR departments and in browsing through files not once has there been an info for people saying "Oh, by the way, has a dead husband/wife", though there could be an exception with someone who took a funeral leave during their employ.

Hey, anyone know how to reset gallery, I delete all saves from game and from renpy folder in appdata, but I can still see scenes, anyone can help pls

Go back to those folders where the save games were. Delete the 'persistent' file. That is where all scene unlocks and render rewards are stored.

This is quite normal in Germany, so that after the marital status is asked.

Here in Switzerland it is exactly the same.

I think the main drama will be related to the return of James, which will make Bella explode. I'm sure he'll come back. Perhaps even a slight NTR awaits us when James returns in the form of an awkward and embarrassing kiss.

If MC fucked Bella in front of Jill, I believe Bella will not have moral support and this will further aggravate the situation.
I imagine Bella and MC having dinner together, the doorbell rings. Bella opens the door and looks in horror at the man at the door. A curtain. This is in the spirit of Pink. Once again, MC wILL go to Derek's (or Sage's) place for the night.

Perhaps James is not alive or dead, but in a coma. The room is simply a small home hospital, where James is kept alive, but in a vegetative state. Even if it doesn't make much sense, it could explain why she is (possibly) mentally disturbed , why she feels she will "come back" and it would also explain why the MC says she wants to ask for help.

Bruh! This game is the best ever!!! I am seriously obsessed with the characters and the animations are next level. This game sets the bar too high for every game out there!!

A lot of people have forgotten about that little line from Bella. It's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security with her, now that full sex has happened and girlfriend status achieved. I wonder how long DPc will allow the good feelings to last before he pulls the rug out from underneath? Could be soon with Jill conflict or the return of James. Or perhaps he waits...and lets things simmer for a while and then crushes hearts.

She could make a nice axe murder story and change this whole story into a gore feast!

You also have to delete the persistent file in your Renpy folder of the userprofile - %USERPROFILE%\Appdata\\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK-xxxxxxxxxx

My options are Quinn endings.

1) Positive. Quinn becomes a witness in a case against drug trafficking and prostitution.

2) Neutral. She runs from the campus from the police and spends her whole life on the run.

3) Bad. Quinn breaks down, becomes a psychopath and beats up Riona. She is exposed, put in prison, where no one visits her.

What about Quinn falls in love with MC, MC breaks her heart?

 

[BeenThroughHell]

How are the people here? any news for the next season?

MC lives the rest of his life without the benefit of a spine

Hello fellow maggot brothers/sisters!! Glad to be part of this community!

beats up Riona

Not in my watch.

Bella taking off her ring and then putting it back on isn't as superfluous as some people are implying, she obviously hasn't been able to fully let go or else she wouldn't wear it on a Sunday just after she had a wild night with MC; but stopping wearing it at all would be asking for trouble.
She already knows she fucked up by letting herself get caught in the walk of shame (although for now the DIKs still think it was just a one night stand), anyone who frequents the library and has a pair of eyes will be able to see how friendly she got with MC although she only met him a couple of months ago and previously she barely spoke with anyone other than the staff and Jill, her not using the ring at school anymore would be like a "let everyone know what's up" any% speedrun.
Also, unlike Jill she's not naive, she's most likely well aware that Burke is trying to flirt with her, so she's probably also trying to avoid troubles on that end...

You also have to delete the persistent file in your Renpy folder of the userprofile - %USERPROFILE%\Appdata\\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK-xxxxxxxxxx

You can shorten that a good deal if typing it into a window path. No need to bother with the user profile. Just go with %appdata%\RenPy\BeingaDIK-xxxxxxxx.

Tybalt has shown no likeable value across all facets of the story.

You are very wrong. You're forgetting he has a better ass than the MC, Derek, and even several of the HOTs.

There were only 16 scenes in episode 8

You're way off on that number. It's at least triple that. I count more that 50.

It does raise an interesting question for me, though. I have seen many comparisons of DPC's output of renders, animations, and overall gameplay time compared to other games/AVNs. But not having played a lot of others in this genre, maybe someone else here that's more versed than I am can answer this:

How does the scene count in the average BaDIK update compare to the updates by other developers?

I hope OFT is editing as we speak.

Sorry, my man. I don't work weekends, and hence, I generally don't visit this site on those days. If I think of something that will fit into my schedule and horrify both the Madame lovers and haters simultaneously, I'll tag you in it so you can share the culpability.

Has there been any other 4th wall breaking moment like that, excluding the episode ending monologue montages, since I don't consider those being anything similar? Do you think DPC jumped the gun and its not backpaddling and it will probably never get mentioned again?

I'm thorn between wanting a great twist and wanting my happy ending, so I guess I'll be ok with whichever direction.

I don't know about fourth wall breaking, but we are occasionally let inside Bella's mind such as with her breakdown in bed with MC at the DIK house. I think it was an unintentional mistake for DPC to include the future MC monologue about Bella's mental state. I wish he would have just left us to come to our own conclusions. I think he realised too late that he introduced a jarring break in narration. Future MC appears at the beginning of game and with that Bella scene and then promptly fucks off.

We get similar 'omniscient MC' narration at the end of Episode 3 (the bit about doors), and it returns in Episode 8 (both in the montage narration about how people come and go, and his quip about not asking the right question right before he panics over who Sage's parents are). It seems like DPC uses it whenever he wants to foreshadow something dramatic and doesn't sweat its absence the rest of the time.

When it comes to fourth wall breaks, where the MC is addressing the audience as a narrator (not to be confused with the inner monologues of the MC and other characters), I can think of only two others in addition to the Bella library scene that do not occur either as either an episode intro or wrap-up. They are:

• The narration during the time skip in Episode 7 after Hell Week
• The MC's explanation of his decision to choose Jill after she stands up to Tybalt at the restaurant

Yup!
This would be the point I fly over and beat the fuck outa a porn novel writer.................... but it is coming. I can feel it.

I know ename144 has the data for Leap of Fate at least, but I've also seen him in the Chasing Sunsets and Intertwined threads as well, so bug him about it , but I don't know if I could compare any of them in scope with Being a Dik.

DPC is in a league of his own in terms of content, even if you might not like all of it.

Undoubtedly this is the best game overall, but IMO both Leap of Faith and Chasing Sunsets have this one beat in terms of storytelling (I'd even put Chasing Sunsets on par with Being a DIK based on render quality).

.

and we back to square one again . blurring the lines, the layers, and considering everything as in the same context.

Jill having a sushi dinner with her friend no matter what, but only relevant if MC is part of , that's when we see it. Even if her friend later showed up at her concert. But we did not see that dinner did we ? only on Jill path.
This the context where the personal life of different love interest belong.

idk maybe we are both getting confused, but why did you use this as an example? the dinner with Jill's friends was overall unimportant filler for being on the Jill path, nothing affecting the overall narrative happens here. this is the reward you get for pursuing Jill, all the mundanity of being in a relationship with a girl that isnt the sweaty sexy time.

But whether you want to accept it or not, Sage and Chad's relationship is a driving force of the story. Us getting wrapped up into spying on Chad for Sage in order to prove he is cheating and all the Alphas conflict that follows, especially Chad thinking MC is responsible for the blackmail photos against him being the driving force of Chad's fall from grace and potential redemption arc with MC. but the question arises: why is Sage so convinced Chad is cheating on her RIGHT NOW when he is literally never intimate with her, never affectionate with her, never a BOYFRIEND to her?? it comes off as dumb or lazy or both. having scenes where we could see them at a party incidentally and see how little chemistry they have or how frustrated Sage is with the lack of physicality, how awkward their kiss would be, etc. their (troubled) relationship is integral the the early arcs of the narrative, yet we never even see them together enough to believe they are even friends let alone going steady. i think we literally only get one or two scenes with them alone together and its when Sage is already pissed that their relationship sucks, and if she didnt express that EXPLICITY idk if we would even know she wasnt single.

and id also say that your argument of having "the personal life of different love interest" being separate would be more appropriate if you could actually ditch the people you arent interested in. But all these girls are stuck to MC like flies to fly paper and DPC decided for us that MC should stay best friends with them all, while simultaneously deciding that they always are only interested in MC anyways. so since we cant actually avoid these people we want nothing more to do with for the sake of the "overall story", then i think we should see more about all these characters and flesh them out more since we cant avoid them and all their personal drama anyways. and that means seeing potential moments of non-MC intimacy if it means DPC can show us character development in those kinds of moments. Just my two cents
