any idea for the next release?

There's lots of ideas in this thread. Most are theoretical heresy though.

well, yeah, im not the brightest candle in the chandelier and dont have money.

Considering chandeliers illuminate with light bulbs and not candles I'd say that is an understatement.

 

[katzenstreu]

That is it. Only German-speaking players would understand the joke and I highly doubt that there are many German-speaking players because BaDIK is not listed on German Steam because it is on the index.

So it doesn't make sense that DPC included this as a joke when maybe only 10 players understand it.

im a german btw and i can tell you that dante has nothing to do with "tante" and the "joke" is not funny at all.

On another fun tangent, anybody have any idea what the hell the jocks do at B&R?

There’s clearly no football (by which of course I mean American football); I don’t even think there are enough male students in the whole of B&R to field both offensive and defensive lineups, and fill a bench. You don’t try to build muscle mass, like Chad and Caleb do, so you can play soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, volleyball, water polo, cycling, or tennis. It can’t be competitive bodybuilding, because they test for all the performance-enhancing things the jocks are confessedly taking.

Regardless, it’s gotta be something lucrative enough for the college to offer scholarships. And whatever it is, its season would have to start in winter or spring, because from what we can tell, they’ve not gone to any competitions in the fall quarter.

So… hockey?

I believe it is body building, would explain the focus on bulking up.

No. It requires no knowledge of the German language. It requires only that the reader knows Dante Aligheri was Italian, not German. The board thinks his name sounds German because they're all retarded.

The joke is "the alumni board is stupid," not "Dante sounds German."

It sounds too foreign. Italian foreign perhaps. DPC already removes Dante as Italian, but it sounds a bit German.

Again. Someone who speaks German will immediately realize what DPC means here. You don't even have to think about it as a German speaker. Someone who doesn't speak or have heard German will never figure it out if it's not pointed out to them. Even a machine translator wouldn't translate it like that. The joke would fade because most of the players don't understand it.

The joke is so that you are the best example of it. It's in the pronunciation of the word Dante. In German we distinguish between a soft T (D) and a hard T (T). You can only know this through pronunciation and no other way.

Old-timey chandeliers actually used candles. And the word "chandelier" comes from the French word for candle.

Schön das du deutscher bist. Es steht eindeutig geschrieben, damit Dante deutsch klingt, nicht damit Dante Tante heißt. Es ist also die Aussprache des Wortes gemeint, die darauf abzielt, dass eigentlich Tante gemeint ist, obwohl Dante geschrieben steht.

Weil du deutscher bist, verstehst du das es kein Witz ist. Es ist ein Hinweis von DPC. Der MC hat eine Tante. Das könnte Jill sein, muss es aber nicht. Vielleicht ist es auch diese ominöse Priscilla.

Aber der MC wird eine Tante haben. Kein Witz.

It's nice that you're German. It is clearly written so that Dante sounds German, not so that Dante's name is aunt. So what is meant is the pronunciation of the word, which means that it actually means aunt, even though it is written Dante.

Because you're German, you understand that it's not a joke. It's a notice from DPC. The MC has an aunt. That could be Jill, but it doesn't have to be. Maybe it's that ominous Priscilla.

But the MC will have an aunt. No joke.

abwarten und bier trinken, ich finde das etwas weit hergeholt.

It's Norah.

 

[moonhowler1972]

You know if this was real life
I would simply tell Quinn I'm a huge giga Chad
And then she would like me

Problem solved everyone

I think Riona also prefers a dik
So I would have to lie to her as well
It breaks my heart to lie to a woman
But I just have to for them angels

You could certainly try, Joshy. I think Quinn would have you looking like this in no time at all though.

People expecting the final preview to be like this again. Maybe not exactly but some sort of multi-character thing?

I'm not playing any of those. If those are the only ones, I'll start the fire myself.

Da hell you talking about?
I was under the impression you had a soft spot for Bella?

She's most certainly the first path I'll be doing, and the second, an attempt to explore options with Zoey.

Nope. I'm Rio only. Maybe Zoey.

The more I look the more I am convinced that this is not a render of DPC, but more of a neural network generated render.
So in a way, ChipLecsap was right.
Lily looks too unnatural.
Am I the only one who thinks so?
If I'm right, and it really is neural net, I dread to imagine how many of these renders he has in the upcoming update.

My main argument is the weird artifacts in the renders that are not peculiar to DAZ: hair sticking out of ears, unnatural fabric texture, and weird fabric simulation.
Also, the lighting in the scene is unnatural.
Also a rather odd angle of inclination. The background seems to dissolve and only the legs of the chair are visible.
I'm sure I'm right. DPC will probably confirm later.

I think that if Lily appears in the game only once with this hairstyle, it's definitely AI.
DPC is probably experimenting with a neural network to speed things up or to create a reference.

Either way she is beautiful
I would definitely take her on a romantic date
Lily is awesome

 

[KАRАMBA]

Lily is awesome

Too "candy".
The appearance is bright, without any visible flaws, almost doll-like.
Too "sweet" gets boring quickly.
