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

[dalli_x]

My theory regarding the mansion trashing is here.

But regarding the Chad blackmail photos, my guess is it's Mel and Sarah. Somehow they know Chad's gonna break up with Sage, when they spot Sage and the mc making out in the backyard in episode, their conversation hints at some things:

Sarah: "This will make it easier when Chad breaks up with her."​

Melanie: "I'm gonna go call him."​

Sarah: "Easier...but Sage will still be furious."​

Melanie: "If things ever go south..."​

Melanie: "...you'll have my back, right?"​

Sarah: "Don't I always?"​

Melanie: "I'll always have yours too."​

They are close to Chad, so maybe he told them he planned on breaking up with Sage, but why are they worried about things going south with themselves, and having each other's back. Unless they are involved in the breakup somehow, it doesn't make sense.

My theory is they sent the photos to Chad, blackmailing him to break up with Sage. Not because they are malicious bitches, but because they want Chad and Troy to stop the charade, or at least for Chad to stop using Sage. They were actually trying to help everyone. The photos of Arieth fucking everyone were a smoke screen. They sent all the photos to Chad, and of course he only passed on the Arieth photos to Dawe.

The Cathy cluck, it seems a little too obvious the Alphas were responsible, especially since they were screaming to the highest hills that the DIKs had done it when we know they didn't. It obvious the Jocks are happy to frame the DIKs, but whether the Alphas did it or just took advantage of the situation, I'm not sure.

I agree with you 100% about Melanie and Sarah. They will have also put the panties in Chad's gym bag for Sage to find. That's how they got the whole breakup thing going. But they're afraid of Sage's reaction if Sage finds out, so Melanie and Sarah have known for a while that Chad is gay. They know how Sage might react.

I assume Sarah and Melanie have also talked to Quinn, who has a closer relationship with Sage. Quinn plays chess, just not very well. In chess, you think several moves ahead, not just one. The MC is just a pawn to Quinn in the beginning. But that pawn can become more and more of a king during the game.

- What does Chad want? That he not come out as gay.
- What could Troy want? For Chad to be with him.
- What do Quinn and Tommy want? For the HOT's to party with the DIK's.
- What does Sage want? A real guy to fuck her.

Quinn tries to play chess but only thinks one step ahead. In EP1, the MC impresses Sage. Quinn will have noticed or Sage told her about the newbie. If Quinn manages to set the MC up with Sage, Sage's reaction to Chad would be much less violent. However, Quinn didn't include Maya in her considerations, and the MC is initially more interested in Maya than Sage.

How did Jade know that Chad was gay? In EP4, Quinn, who was standing next to Riona, points not to the Preps' house, but to Jade. Quinn told Jade. But Sage doesn't believe her mother.

The cluck of Cathy was probably set up by Dawe and Quinn without the knowledge of the other jocks. At the end of EP3, Dawe feels an urgent need to talk to Quinn.

Can some1 explain, why people seriously think that there will be a threesome with Bella and Jill? Do I ignore these signs?!

Some people just want to see a sudden worldwide spike in cardiac arrest. They're just mean evil people .

Do you mind spoiling me how sad it is? I've heard a bit about it and although sad endings aren't my thing, I'm willing to give it a try

It would spoil the surprise, the best is to play it. ^^

This end put me in PLS personally, so I understand better the message that Jill wanted to pass to the intro of Being A DIK....

 

[Cab-boe]

This game is essentially a college comedy. It'll have mostly happy endings, probably with a montage with funny statements about what the characters went on to do, with maybe a couple of bad endings for the more villainous characters. That's what's expected and honestly that's what it should be.

Yes, even though it's more reminiscent of a Netflix series with all its melodrama, I don't think it will end as dramatically as Acting Lessons. Well, let's hope for our hearts....

Depends on the choice of LI, best girl and my favorite was the blue haired one, Rena i think, as such not really dramatic.
Just be warned, u only will end up with one girl.

Only seasons 1 and 2 of "Being a DIK" are complete, so the game is probably only 50% finished. So far, the game is not sad at all, really. For the most part, there is a lot of sex and a lot of funny moments. There is some drama, but I would not call this a sad game. On the other hand, the developer's first game, "Acting Lessons," has a very sad ending. In fact, it was quite controversial with a lot of players. He has said that "Being a DIK" is a different kind of game, so while we can surely expect more drama, I (for one) do not think the ending will be sad, overall.

 

[Oliver Wendell Homely]

i am trying to play being a dik and i found a problem in "log.txt"

Obviously you're trying to play "Being a DIK." But is the file the BeingADIK-0.8.3 executable, which contains seasons 1 and 2; or, were you trying to open the BeingADIK-Interlude executable? If the Interlude, did you play 0.8.3 first?

Interesting, do you know or have a rough estimate of the game length?

Wow, I feel like I shoulda played Acting Lessons first now Sad endings aren't my thing but ig it is what it is, I'll suck it up and give it a try, thank you.

Also, congrats on 10k pages!

This game is essentially a college comedy.

Should say it's the best college comedy ever. Screw American Pie, screw Revenge of the Nerds. Pinkcake's so talented at creating strong characters from endearing to vile to pathetic to understandable to lamentable, and putting them in situations that make use of those characteristics to drive an engaging plot, filled with excellent humour that hits consistently. And it's all in a game that's deeply interactable and branching, with excellent presentation.

It's a genuine shame I'd feel awkward recommending this game in the same breath as my favourite TV shows or books. If pinkcake made a SFW version at some point...

of course I don't mind so the game is good the story is good but at the end the MC must to save one from the tow girls because of one girl she got jealous from the MC and the tow girls how the loved each other and she star a fire in the house and he can't save both and he had feelings for the tow one so one of the girls she must to die so I can say just like this sorry I couldn't explain more

The trashing is a well discussed topic. I also think Vinnie is somewhat involved. The puzzelbox just made it more... puzzling. It could be drugs but can there be enough in it to be worth all the hussle about it.
If i remember correct MC did state it was heavy.

Your theory about the blackmail photo's is interesting and would be logical if you look it that way. It does mean Sarah and Melanie have acces to some pretty nasty photos from the phones and... that damn spycam. That cam just triggered my curiousity again ... Dali style

Dear DIK brothers and maggots! The DIK Brotherhood has been around for 3.5 years, since February 2019. I've been playing the game since the beginning, I know PinkCake from Acting Lessons, in this thread for a few months. This short time, I plunged even deeper into the atmosphere of this Universe. 12 playthroughs, hundreds of gameplay hours with sleepless nights, endless waiting for new episodes and the wait is worth it. But most importantly, I found out about the existence of a huge BaDIK fan zone. With discussions, crazy theories, tons of memes and unbridled fun. It was nice to know that I'm not the only one and even find interesting people with whom it's nice to talk. And I was lucky to be present during the grand event - 10000 pages and 200000 messages. The biggest thread on this forum. Congratulations to the entire DIK community, history is being made right before our eyes.
And we don't stop there. Episode 9 is very close (I think we can start a two-month countdown) and soon the storm will begin in the discussions. We keep rolling. Happy ten thousands!

Can some1 explain, why people seriously think that there will be a threesome with Bella and Jill? Do I ignore these signs?!

Because they are (most likely) delusional. Despite the many people who try and stand up for Jill, the fact is if you take care of Sage, Jill rejects you (for whatever logic she wants, I honestly don't give a fuck, people - that single event should not derail an entire relationship buildup).

So to think that there's any chance in hell of a threesome after Jill spots you balls-deep in Bella on the kitchen table is just entirely unrealistic. They are both very strongly showing 1-man/1-woman relationship behaviors. That's not to say that Jill couldn't be corrupted as time goes on, but I just don't see Bella being down for that one at all.

They'll never persuade me that it wasn't Jill's sleep-humping habit that caused the tension between her and Bella in the first place.

Do you mind spoiling me how sad it is? I've heard a bit about it and although sad endings aren't my thing, I'm willing to give it a try

There are supposedly 17-25 variations on the AL endings. I've seen several of them myself, and if you get emotionally invested, it has the potential to fucking ruin you for a little while.

I highly encourage you to play it, it's still one of the best I've ever experienced.

Finally got around to doing a separate Nora path. Very sweet for all that....

"Hi Dad, this is my girlfriend Nora...oh sure we will stay the night in my room".

Neil: Ah... nice to meet you. So, you got any kids?
Nora: Twins, they're both in college now, too.
Neil: No kidding? Wow.
Nora: Yeah, I'm not sure about my son, but my daughter has a good head on her shoulders.

OK, the dust has settled and it's time to see where we stand. So, what dramas have been resolved and what new shit is about to hit the fan (note that some of these questions are relevant only to certain paths)?

Obviously if you start reading from these tables, you're gonna encounter a spoiler or two. So stopping fucking reading now and don't bitch about me not using a spoiler tag; you don't put in this kinda effort and then hide it under a fucking spoiler tag. Of course if enough people start hanging shit on me, I'll cave...

The best one being, will anyone in this game ever have such a beautiful animation as her body pan, blink, smile, shrug and forehead lift? Just... go back and watch it again, alright? Will the mc get to have a solo relationship with Maya or Josy? Who did the test papers that the mc found in the bathroom belong to? Why does Chad keep the lie up that he's not cheating when Sage confronts him?

Who is the girl getting spit-roasted at the Dorm Party?

Who is the girl getting spit-roasted at the Dorm Party?

Isn't it the girl who gave up at the midterms? Granted that doesn't tell us who she is, but i'm pretty sure it's her due to the piercings.
