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

[Ostap Bender]

To hell with the waifus. What about the bros in this game?

1. Derek. Obviously.
2. Rusty. What a sweetheart.
3. Tommy. Yes, he's a massive DI(c)K, but he's also extremely dedicated to the frat, and funny as shit. He's fucked up, but deep down he's your bro.
4. Jacob. Close contender for my third place. He's smart and caring, all around great dude.
5. John boy, Jamie and Leon all sorta fade into a common ranking in my book. They haven't had a lot of screen time. The Jam-Jam arc is pretty sweet though, so is John Boy and Elena.
6. Nick. Mainly because he's a prime suspect, but his interactions are also weird. Weird in the sense that they seem like you're interacting with a facade. It feels to me like we haven't really seen his personality in any discernable way.

1. Tommy. Yeah, I was thinking who should be in the first position - and look who it is! Even for me, it's surprising.
2. Rusty. Great guy overall, but his indecisiveness is his biggest flaw. And I believe a leader can't afford to be indecisive.
3. John boy. Fuck if I know why, it's just how I feel
4. Leon. He seems fun and chill, although he's yet to show if there's something special about him, thus only 4th place.
5. Jacob. Good guy, but a bit of a pussy. And honestly, with his attitude of a nice guy, I don't know how he got to the frat.
6. Derek. Sure, it's fun to see him all the stupid shit he usually does, but that can only go so far when building friendship and trust (at least in my case). Also, he's fiercely loyal to Maya and will always put her first, not the DIKs or our Snowflake McFuckface. Of course, I'm not saying he should forget about his sister for the sake of the MC or the DIKs, but I have to take his priorities into account. Long story short - I don't trust the guy. I even have a vague picture of how his loyalty to Maya could directly contradict my MC's interests, but I guess that's another story; I got carried away, haven't I?
7. Jam-Jam. Basically the same problem as with Jacob, but even on a greater scale. Sometimes I wonder what a... soft guy like him is doing in this frat. Oh well, I suspect it's all Leon's influence.
8. Nick. What you said, I've nothing to add.

Well this sucks.

I was working on a post, and I just found out my company discovered my internet line.


I've been using a long-forgotten DSL connection to surf at work. I've been here so long that everyone else who knew about it is gone. I patched a line directly from the router to my office and filled the rest of the ports with dead-end lines buried in the spider web of cables so no one tried to trace them. The bandwidth is slow as fuck, but it works, and it's the only way around the corporate firewall. (Employee of the Month, right?)


The IT head of our division came to me this morning asking if I knew about this mysterious DSL, because someone in accounting finally figured out we were paying a monthly fee for the service over the last 8 years and no one knew why. I'll be sneaking into the data room to disconnect the lines, because it's just a matter of time before they find it.


So, there goes my connection at work, and subsequently, there goes my main connection to all the fun shit that's blocked by the firewall, and all the lewd shit I don't have time and privacy for outside of the office.


Long story short, it looks like I'll be going dark very soon and for quite a while, or at least until I can figure out a replacement connection at the office.


While I'm gone, I need someone occasionally to tell Dalli he's nuts in OFT fashion. Here - use this:

My condolences. We will miss your memes and theories, but there is still mobile internet, and although using the F95 through the phone is like walking on crutches, it is still real. And of course your office rules are brutal.

 

[Mr. Muscles]

Then, when you love the game, why do you want to use mods? Play it as DPC has it intended to play, for help there are plenty of walkthroughs here in the thread. So you can explore every time something new, the only reason to use a mod is to drop the minigames.

Mods can make the game feel more organic in a sense, if that's how one opts to use it. For example, you don't have to deal with the BS that is the choice of having to either take care of Sage or going out with Jill, as if it's impossible to do both things in a single day. You're also not limited to what I consider a very restricting morality system. Ultimately, one can do whatever he/she likes with the game, it's not anyone's business. No need to gatekeep people, mods exist since the dawn of time for many, many games.

And suddenly the wait for the ninth chapter became terribly longer and unbearable

 

[UserAppleBanana]

Hey so I just finished the 1st part I believe because I can't play the hallowing part (playing 0.8.2 MAC) and now I want to continue.. what should I download 0.8.3 or this 3 Interlude? Thank you in advance.

 

[ffive]

0.8.3 is just a small patch for 0.8.2 version of the game. For the continuation, you'll want the Interlude, though it's not direct continuation, but more of a flashback focused on a character who's making appearance in season 3.

Here at mine i can access at least this forum but most of the "bad sites" are blocked. Cause of this and i'm mostly not in the office, i use my mobile phone to post here.

 

[Ilhares]

Well this sucks.

I was working on a post, and I just found out my company discovered my internet line.

I don't know your specific office/company environment, but this happened at one of the places I was contracting as well. We told them the "truth".

"Yes, we do have a DSL line. It's kept for the occasional main line outages if we have an emergency need, since it's very low bandwidth we don't broadcast it being there. We also use it for testing outside connections to see if the problem exists at the main company firewall or if it's something in the internet routing paths. Think of it as a diagostic service line, it's the first thing we check if anybody says there's an outage."

I mean, it's technically true, we also had a couple machines that connected to the DSL and the company network, for sharing files that for some reason couldn't go through the FTP server after corporate HQ mucked up a few things.

 

[SomboSteel]

Yes. I think they are annoyed because of the attention Jill gets. Jill Outshines Among 5 Main Girls. she is the only girl in the story who actually does something good for MC without expecting anything in return. Others are just using MC

maybe this will be controversial to some: but if you erase the part of her identity where Jill is a virgin, or better yet have her dating history actually include Tybalt and the reality they she had slept with him at least once, she would instantly lose like 60% of her "fans".

People dont even like to believe/imagine that Bella ever had sex with her husband or that Sage had sex with Chad, so the Jill fans arent alone in that regard but i do think they are the most hypersensitive about it and the most "obsessed" for lack of a better word that she is "unspoiled" by other men

Well, technically her dating history does include Tybalt, now. :v

If DPC live with a trauma of losing money, imagine screwing a fandom that literally finances this game

He will not do anything with Jill

People whom DPC is careful not to wake up from their childhood dream. God forbid they should demagnetise their credit card for the shock.

If we eventually find out that Tybalt is not her natural child either, Jade too will fall under potential virgin...

Avn... The a stands for porn

You mean Rusty, right? That would actually make sense, if she dated with him, and all, but ended up badly, and Jill now more cautious with her dating. Because of previous experiences. and Yet She can't help it, but to Fall for a "Bad Boy MC ".

May be she would not be the patreon virgins ultimate fantasy, But She would be Definitely a Better Character. for a Chick MC there would be still Bella and Maya who are make more sense on that path.
Jill is a missed opunitiy in so many way. and now we even have permanent affinity its not even have chance, to see Jill develop in to a Rich Qeen B, wiht a bad boy MC on her side.
even though that in the end she admitted She found it Funny, Tybalt humiliation.
But there are people who are still hopeful for a Josy, Maya solo route, So may be, Jill will regret, breaking up with MC. Still, it's hard to make a meaningful, second "first time " sex with her. Thats why she shoould nevere been a virgin in the first place.

I think that pretty much true already. Tybalt, was bitching about how he come from and raised to where he is now. So, I guess, He is like Sage, and came from an orphanage or something.
But while Sage grown to be a Decent Human, Tybalt ended up as an arrogant prick, who think he he rose by his own, and earned his entitlement. etc etc

 

[FappingWorldwide]

I'm not saying he should forget about his sister for the sake of the MC or the DIKs, but I have to take his priorities into account. Long story short - I don't trust the guy. I even have a vague picture of how his loyalty to Maya could directly contradict my MC's interests, but I guess that's another story;

Interesting. I could definitely se a heavily invested DIK MC downranking Derek. However, and this might be counterintuitive, but i think a Chick/Neutral MC that choses to be with Josy after having been with the throuple, will probably loose his friendship with Derek. If you severely hurt his sister, Derek is probably no longer in your camp. That said, I think Derek will take a bullet for the MC, he also helped immensely in coordinating the restoration of the Mansion, and has helped the MC at every given opportunity in the game, so in my book he is a 100% trustworthy.

In regards to Jacob and Jam-Jam, yeah they're softies, but also massive bros at the same time. Jacob giving you a lap dance, being grateful for you getting rid of the Alphas at the HOTs party. Let's not forgot how Jam-Jam is there cheering every time they sing the walk of shame song. He has a certain charm, also these moments made me chuckle:

 

[Ilhares]

Agreed, very fucking weird. The only people I've ever met like this in my life either viewed it as some predatory conquest where they'd overcome some magical challenge, or they're just so shit they don't like the girls having anybody else to compare them against. Everybody worth their salt knows Snow White was bangin' those dwarves. The prince don't care.

You mean Rusty, right? That would actually make sense, if she dated with him, and all, but ended up badly, and Jill now more cautious with her dating. Because of previous experiences. and Yet She can't help it, but to Fall for a "Bad Boy MC ".

This would make me respect the character more, certainly. I still don't like her, but I'd respect her. Especially if she lied about being a virgin. You know, "technicalities". Maybe the other person only got her ass or something, we don't know. Or she tried to blow him and things went a little bad and she freaked out and didn't touch one again for some time.

I think that pretty much true already. Tybalt, was bitching about how he come from and raised to where he is now. So, I guess, He is like Sage, and came from an orphanage or something.

I think, based on the hair at least, Jade is Tyb's mother, but if that were the case I wouldn't have expect her to throw his picture at Burke, so not certain, but it would make sense to me.

Burke had the money. Jade has the actual talent and smarts, she didn't "buy her degrees", she earned them, and since Burke didn't do the pre-nup, that's why he wants to avoid a divorce, because she'll have all that talent and then a good chunk of his previous funds as well. Or worse, it would cause an audit of those funds, and a lot of eyebrows would be raised at the major chunks of his funds missing that were allocated to 'charitable college scholarships'.

[lipe2410]

People like this are just fucking weird.

This idealization of "the perfect woman" (a.k.a virgin) is a common thing between people, especially conservatives people. And believe or not, more and more i perceive that a lot of the users in this site, who are playing these type of games, are conservative people in regards of how the LIs in VNs should be and behave.

 

[Ostap Bender]

However, and this might be counterintuitive, but i think a Chick/Neutral MC that choses to be with Josy after having been with the throuple, will probably loose his friendship with Derek. If you severely hurt his sister, Derek is probably no longer in your camp.

Yep, that's basically what I was trying to say. Like if there was a certain situation where Derek would have to choose between helping Maya and, say, not hurting Quinn he wouldn't pause to think even for a second. Just like my MC wouldn't hesitate with his decision, it's just that he'd pick a different option. Thus a potential conflict.

In regards to Jacob and Jam-Jam, yeah they're softies, but also massive bros at the same time.

They are bros for sure. I don't have anything against them, they're just not exactly the type of crowd I'd usually hang out with. Especially when there are people like Rusty, John Boy, Leon, and even Tommy save for the drugs part.
