Honestly, the whole Bella 'romance' rubs me the wrong way, but it's downright terrible if the MC doesn't stay with her in Episode 4. We go from Bella literally crying about how she can't start something with the MC to him invading her personal space and undressing her in Episode 5 with no transition. The pool scene in Episode 4 (where the MC backs off and Bella starts something herself) really should have been required to continue her path.

Oher than that, there are two bits of MC stupidity that stick with me. The first is during the Episode 5 Maya/Josy hangout when the MC is all worried about whether he can still date other girls. I get that he's young and horny (and that DPC needed to stall the throuple), but WTF, dude? They just agreed to date you together. How about trying that for a bit before you go looking for new conquests?

The second is when the MC decides to get blackout drunk in the Episode 8 dorm party just because Derek wanted to. Didn't you promise you were done doing stupid things after nearly destroying Jill's piano by accident?
I think we are still waiting for a plot twist with the return of James in which Bella, instead of her husband with whom she has lived for many years, will choose a poor teenager whom she has known only a month.
:KEK:
I think it is in such moments that the skills of a writer will manifest themselves. Create a plausible justification for a particular character choice.

Well, if James's cock has been shot off, that should be enough of a plausible justification.

I mute all sounds in every VN I play and I still enjoy them just fine. You may want to look into some bone-conducting earphones.
WHAT. Not to argue here, just curious.
I major in film. Music is one of the essential part of storytelling as it creates atmosphere and more times than not it elevates and amplifies whatever scene its included. Don't you think you're missing out if you're doing this? Especially, when the music is really important like for the ending of episode 7.

Again, I'm just curious here. Do you do it throughout the game or listen to the ingame music from time to time? Just wanna know.

9503 pages of posts and I'm pretty sure about 1000 pages worth of post of them are people complaining about other people not using the search bar.

Yes, a Whovian has entered the chat. Capaldi was merely 1 doctor ago. It was not when the show was great. He is an excellent actor, without question, but the scripts were weak shite, and there was very little chemistry between him and Coleman. I didn't like Matt Smith, but I still watched it, because the show was good. With Capaldi, much as I like him, I had to quit watching and then just downloaded the whole season once it was over.

If, somehow, DPC were to go off the rails and make the HOT house a TARDIS disguise, the Master would be an excellent choice to be the one inside. I think it would be even better if we found out it was Romana, since she's been missing ever since she went into e-space.
I can't call the Capaldi era bad. Moffat's scripts were good, but they had flaws, such as the inconsistencies in Clara's character from season to season. I liked this era, just like the RTD era.
Bad is what we have now. Chibnall is destroying the show with his shitty script, ruining the whole canon. Plus, the series has gotten way too woke. I want to watch my favorite show about a crazy time traveler and his companions, not radical leftist political agitation.

Why would I be exaggerating? :unsure: :unsure:

i said neither that it is a disaster, nor that it is a scandal. i said that at best it is an insignificant change, at worst a bad sign. am i wrong? it could be positive in same way for us?

that it's another way for DPC to raise money, good for him, but it's still a way for patreons to express what they like and don't like, can it affect DPC? i'd be amazed at the opposite (since it's more over a pay-per-view), hope he does it in areas that are insignificant

don't you yourself feel that Jill's virginity was "suggested"? and it is a less insignificant aspect of giving more or less space to a side girl for example

then okay, personally I'm worried about people with credit cards asking for a preview of a special render, but then you only have to read the news to see the abyss we're heading towardo_O:ROFLMAO:
My point is that I don't even think this *is* a change. DPC has been offering previews to higher tier patrons for years now. Asking those patrons how they would prefer to handle the previews in an unusual situation isn't a play for more money or an indication he's tailoring the game to them in new ways. It's just an attempt to see which option his customers would prefer when the normal choices are potentially impractical.


Yeah, I thought that was weird too, so the MC wondering if he can keep dating or fucking other girls. But in the chat between MC and Derek, you can get a response from Derek that should be revealing. Derek writes to the MC that women say one thing and mean another.

Getting drunk with Derek in EP8 I think has a deep meaning for the relationship between Derek and the MC. Before the Juno swim in the classroom, Josy and Maya didn't really want Derek to leave. He didn't want to be ostracized. He also says this when Jamie gives the MC a houseplant. Derek probably had that experience when Josy and Maya got together. The two will have spent more time together and excluded Derek (What if Derek had told his father that Maya and Josy were a couple so he wouldn't be alone?).

Let's take a closer look. There are the Bailey siblings. The MC is interested in Maya, and for Derek, the MC is probably the best friend he's ever had. Derek is afraid that if Maya gets involved in a relationship with the MC, he will lose his sister and his best friend. For this reason, the MC got drunk with Derek.

This was to make Derek understand that the MC will remain his best friend and that there will continue to be times that Derek and the MC will spend together, and that the MC will not take his sister Maya away from Derek. But Derek should also understand that the MC needs time with Josy and Maya.
First, Derek will ask to get blackout drunk even if the MC isn't dating Maya. Second, how does getting drunk as a skunk help matters at all? Even to the extent it demonstrates the MC still listens to Derek, they don't actually spend much time together and most of what they do spend together they don't remember.

If the MC wants to signal to Derek that they'll still be best buds, allowing him to crash in the MC's room seems far more effective than getting plastered at the same party. (And much less likely to inadvertently destroy Jill's piano in the future.) But for some reason we have the option to keep the room to ourselves, whereas we automatically drink ourselves into a coma.


Status Update ? I see N7 havent posted it yet or am I blind ?
For whatever reason, this week N7 didn't post the update.


:unsure: You are another hero of the anti search engine right ? :KEK:
Give him a break. He specifically mentioned N7 not posting anything, so wouldn't it be more probably he searched for posts by N7 and found nothing?

Wasted half of a day on downloading splits... first was for win/linux, 3 next were for mac... argh. Please, make a separate spoiler for win/linux and for mac... It hurts to be so blind and downloading another versions...

What you indicate here would make sense... but experience trumps the effort so my answer is a definitive NOPE :p :KEK: ( btw this would be more like " following " N7 and not searching for a weekly update report but anyhow my NOPE stands firm either way :LOL: )

I think it's been years since I played Acting Lessons. Is there any hints that these are in the same universe? Just a random question that popped in my head.
There are hints in Acting Lessons, but so far none in BaDIK.
DPC actually planned this to be in the same universe as AL, but that plan was scratched and he just abandoned that idea. IIRC.

Hmm...technically all DPC has to do is throw in a reference of something from his mom's diary. Like maybe she went to the same hospital as the MC in Acting Lessons to give birth to the BaDIK MC. If DPC wanted it in the same universe, it wouldn't be that hard. But it doesn't really matter. Not until there's a fire anyways. :ROFLMAO:
