VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

This has truly been a remarkable demonstration of a nuanced discussion that occurs when the forum isn't being inundated with the accused diseaseknown as simping. I for one am glad that our distinguished members have witnessed the depths of thought we are all capable of. Just look at how many big words I use when simping isn't destroying my brain cells.

Maybe later, maybe later.

So guys, I would like to discuss the more emotional moments of the game. Everything involving Lana, "Do you see?", the breakups after the Crossroads choice, etc.

How successfully do you think DPC has executed these scenes, and how much does it impact your replays? Does the story positively benefit from the more mature, "darker" themes?

A foursome with Jill, her sister, and her mom would be really hot. Thanks for listening to my TEDxxx talk.

Nothing unproductive about the truth.

Up until episode 10, Josy is just a minor character. Even her brief stint as the only love interest is fleeting and soon gone. From then on out she's a secondary character, entirely eclipsed by Maya, for almost 2/3rds of the game.

#JosyIsASideGirl is a simple statement of fact about a character in a game. A game that is the subject of this forum. If you and your simp friends are made uncomfortable by fact then there's nothing I can do about that. I'm not going to pretend that reality isn't just because of your delusions.

This is 100% false even if some hated Josy they cannot say she is a side girl and mean it. #JosyIsTheMainGirl

But if you still don't believe me ask yourself: which girl is the whole first season about no matter how you play it, Josy; Which girl does Mc fall in love with first, Josy; Which girl is the reason the loan is getting solve, Josy; other then Maya not reading and being stupid which girl is the reason there even is a loan storyline, Josy in fact there is no reason for Maya to even be a Li or in the game without Josy; which girl brings around all the other main LI, Josy; Which girl is the reason for over haft the plot of the game, Josy!!!;

I rest my case all of these are facts in the game not simply the opinion of a simp

Well technically, Josy is half a main girl. (By size and definition).

But I still love her.

Cucking Jill was fun, dumping Bella was sad.
Rejecting MJ was cool, I really don't like Josy in EP10, but I don't like her in a good way, the way she's acting because she still has feelings for MC.
The Lana storyline has been meh for me so far.
The Helen storyline in EP10 was really well done imo, I could almost feel bad for Patrick, almost, if he just wasn't such a dickhead.

Other than that I'm not really remembering other sad stories.

"Rejecting MJ was cool", dude you're stone cold lmao. It's brutal to dump them for another girl.
Did you kiss Jill on the park bench?

There's really not much to know about Lana herself, but in guessing that'll change based on Episode 11's first preview. But it's sad how Geoff needs to be drunk 24/7 so he can push away the pain and guilt, idk what's going on with Amelia but she feels like a robot just shutting down all of her emotions.

I'm sure Patrick will get a typical redemption where all is forgiven after he sees the error of his ways, becomes 100% supportive of Maya (especially if she ends with with MC, regardless of Josy). I'm just not sure if he'll come around on his own, or it'll take Helen's death to snap him out of it.

Had it not came out Patrick was abusing Maya and Derek I would had felt sorry for him but once that drop I just want to punch the shit out of him

I certainly prefer a more serious and dark tone to a story. Over a collection of shallow sideshows with zero depth, trying to be funny IE: Derek, Tybalt etc. I don't particularly have a high opinion of this style of writing. It's a good thing that my preferred path seems promising with the gloomy side of things.

I'd love to elaborate more about that, but I will not lower myself into the pits of simping about it though. I still have some self respect.

I like it as long as it's not overdone. I find myself interested by Lana and curious about how she died. The breakups are definitely great and realistic scenes in most cases, how the details in them change subtly and sometimes not so subtly depending on your affinity and previous choices. Gotta say regarding the "Do you see?" moment, I remember that Maya saying "That was my father, you see?" earlier in the game seemed like an odd way for her to say so and it stuck with me for some reason. Finding out the real reason why she said it like that and why all of the other times that she tried telling the MC about Patrick's abusiveness she couldn't bring herself to really say anything was surprising for me. I wouldn't say it was emotional per se but I was kind of taken aback by it. It was well done in my opinion with how that subplot had been leading up to that moment. I don't think these scenes really affect my replays though other than me just picking up on more stuff that I had missed before. But yeah, I'm definitely enjoying the more darker tone in this game so far because truth be told, the game would be boring without it.

As a Bella stan I'm ashamed, but I completely forgot mentioning her bed scene in EP10 it was sad af knowing how she felt before meeting fuckface, hell, it almost sounded like she was suicidal. But since she's happier and seemingly recovering now, I guess that's why I forgot.

And about kissing Jill, I kinda stopped playing through my saves after EP9, I really despise the fucking thing, so now I basically just URM through everything that's not on my main save.

I like 'reveal' moments like that too. It's not always well done and often we can see through them, but the 'do you see' one was done exceptionally well by DPC and certainly had me going WOW.

What if Tybalt were given some tragic backstory that explains his pathetic behav—oh wait.
Yeah he's 100% comedic relief, on top of serving as a secondary antagonist. Sage explained it pretty well, Tybalt shed his filthy commoner skin and fully embraced being a rich snob, and thankfully that pushed Sage in a different direction. I mean maybe we could get a flashback to their time as orphans to give some more detail, but as far as Tybalt is concerned it wouldn't really matter.

I noticed how Maya would hold her arm in the picture and when confronted by Patrick in Episode 7, but I didn't want to think it was from physical abuse. So Thanksgiving was a pretty cold dose of reality, definitely disconcerting.

I would say she was in a deep depression, not necessarily suicidal, but maybe that's just cope. Before MC, Jill was the last good thing in her life, and the closest she would come to feeling loved, but not the kind of love she craved.

It might be the only reveal moment that wasn't already a popular fan theory, like Chad/Troy, unless I'm just not aware of how prevalent it was. But it definitely stuck the landing, unlike the Sage reveal.
