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

[Bill_Buttlicker]

No I've never seen his beta test go past 10 days. But that's just going by history.
Anything is possible but I doubt it. I expect we will see the release date come this week.
Might even see it released before February ends since only those in the higher tiers would
get it. The rest would see it March....and here well uh yeah..... I won't answer that!

Don't worry. It's coming soon.
Everyone is eagerly pointing it out.

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

Unnecessarily rude, but ok... Saying that I press CTRL to skip cutscenes is disrespectful not only to me, but also to those who take the time out of their day to discuss the game with me.

Please, I'm open to discussion... did I say something wrong or offensive? Things aren't as simple as you vaguely implied. If Bella is married, is it just her getting divorced? What if she's waiting for James and using the MC as emotional support? What if James is the violent type and hurts the MC until he does something worse? Neil has no idea what kind of person Bella is.

And what's this talk about Bella being the one who cares the about the future? Bella is in the situation she's in (job in jeopardy and friendship with Jill in shambles) because she lets her emotions get the best of her and ends up making decisions without thinking them through. In EP.6 she ended the night sleeping on the floor with her future student... sorry, that doesn't sound like "thinking about the future".

As I mentioned, I'm open to discussion. Those who know me know this well, just keep it cordial.

Well that was unnecessarily passive aggressive. If you never ever used Ctrl to skip the parts you were sure you remembered, I'll have a different question. Have you played this game more than once? Because if you haven't I have even more reason to doubt your grasp on the subject. Everyone who has played this a respectable number of times will use Ctrl to skip the parts they are not interested in on that run. And then it becomes a matter of when was the last time they read the dialogue. So when was the last time you played the game and paid attention to the details of Bella's story? Are you sure you remember everything correctly?

I'm not the one being vague here. You only say that Neil should worry about Bella being married. I point out that Neil is very emotionally focused and would worry about any girl's emotional attachment to his son and now you suddenly say it was obviously about James' potentially violent nature. Of which there is no indication whatsoever.

Bella doesn't think things through? They have a long talk about the "elephants in the room". How is that not thinking things through? Bella shows hesitation at every early moment of their relationship. She fights her emotions, but can't win. This is shown very clearly throughout the game, yet you act like these things never occurred to her.

Her relationship with Jill is in shambles? Jill was one of the elephants in the room they discussed and they were determined to tell her. She just happened to catch them at it. In the next morning. When she showed up unannounced. In the privacy of Bella's home. What reasonable precautions did they fail to take? What would "thinking things through" have achieved?

Also Bella and Jill are in the process of working things out. "Shambles" is an exaggeration.

Her job is in jeopardy? Actually it isn't. It would be if they were seen by the wrong person, but at the moment it isn't.

Choosing something risky is not the same as being dismissive of consequences. It simply means that the potential gains are worth the risk. Bella is aware of the obstacles, but the chance of happiness is worth the trouble.

You say Bella isn't thinking about "tomorrow". Well she obviously has.

On the whole you show clear signs of thinking in absolutes without considering the full spectrum. Yes, there are moments when Bella gives into emotions and goes with the flow, but she also has moments of introspection. A great many of them in fact. More so than any other character. She is easily the most serious minded character in the game, yet you judge her on one moment as if that were the constant.

She could have closed her blinds.

She could have closed her blinds.

And their reason to suspect a wild Jill would suddenly appear was?

 

[I'm Canadian bub]

Forget a wild Jill, save the poor children in Bella's neighborhood

 

[hakuna-matata]

And their reason to suspect a wild Jill would suddenly appear was?

Anyone could have seen them. An old neighbor with a heart problem , Tybalt could have visited the hood for one more time or a child. Will someone think of the children?

What if that's the first thing James sees when he's released from prison.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

She could have closed her blinds.

Spontaneous breakfast sex requires a lot of sunlight to fully appreciate each other's bodies

what is this logic? GIRL if your butt was loyal you would reject thhe moves

Her point is tha MC has no right to bitching now becasue she was in a relationship and "cheated ", when he was well aware of it, and did not bothered by it, but now that he knows it was Maya , he now suddenly bitching about it.

Of which there is no indication whatsoever.

I meant that if Bella is married then she has a husband, right? In the case of James coming back, you suggested a divorce and made it seem simple when there is no evidence to support that statement either. Will James accept an amicable divorce? Is Bella sure that divorce is a better option than trying to save her marriage? These are possibilities that MC didn't think of and that Neil might notice.

Bella doesn't think things through? They have a long talk about the "elephants in the room". How is that not thinking things through? Bella shows hesitation at every early moment of their relationship. She fights her emotions, but can't win. This is shown very clearly throughout the game, yet you act like these things never occurred to her.

That discussion in EP.8 about elephants was ridiculous. The most important questions weren't asked, and the ones that were asked only served to show that Bella really didn't think anything through.

An example of this was when MC asked what the B&R handbook said about relationships between teachers and students and Bella said she didn't know. MC himself asked why she didn't look into this topic since the two were getting more and more involved as the days went by. Do I need to say more?

Her relationship with Jill is in shambles? Jill was one of the elephants in the room they discussed and they were determined to tell her. She just happened to catch them at it. In the next morning. When she showed up unannounced. In the privacy of Bella's home. What reasonable precautions did they fail to take? What would "thinking things through" have achieved?

Bella should have told Jill the truth (about her and MC being romantically involved with each other) before inviting MC to her house for dinner. Once again it shows that Bella hasn't thought about anything, much less the future. Bella has a bad habit of putting off things that need to be addressed as soon as possible, do you disagree with that too?

You say Bella isn't thinking about "tomorrow". Well she obviously has.

I can't agree with that statement." In EP.10, MC asked Bella about their relationship since she's married, and she simply said she didn't know and couldn't answer. Does this sound like a response coming from a woman who is thinking about tomorrow? Be honest... At this point, Bella is literally driving with the MC on a road she doesn't know where it leads to. Too stubborn to ask for directions or stop at the nearest gas station, she keeps driving, hoping something will happen (and it will happen when James comes back).

A smart kid would have rounded up the rest of the neighborhood kids and charged them a few dollars each to peek in the window.

childrens are probably fear and avoid the crazy old lady house anyway.

Everyone knows James will be released from prison. He will then bash MC's skull open with a baseball bat when MC leave Bella's house.

He is obviously coming back, otherwise there is really nothing left for Bella as storyline, and drama potential

Hold on there chip and dale, I like josy :3! Maya is bringing down her potential

“That, I can't deny.”

You guys are soo dumb clearly James is Leah’s pet goldfish, who was entrusted to Nick, who has ensnared us in their sick game feeding him, knowing what feelings some MC’s have for Bella… Quite logical really.
