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

[Better Cock Spock]

The calendar in Maya's room says 2017 at first, then gets changed to 2020, then back to 2017. Given DPC made a choice to go BACK to 2017 (or seems to have done so), that is the most likely year.

That's Episode 6, right? For the 2020 one? When does it go back to 2017?

I can't tell what it says in Episode 11.

Looking at the edge of the 2017 one there's more empty space after the 7 and with 2020 the 0 takes up more space at the edge. Seems like It's more pink than white on the right edge of the year

Okay, that is a good catch. I hadn't noticed that. It definitely rules out 2015. I'd still go with 2020 as ep 10 seems to follow that calendar. So DPC has been flip flopping with this for a while. The Cathy info is a relic from the game being set in 2017 that can be explained as her lying about her age. Or 79 is 7/9 as in July 9th her birthday rather than birth year. Or Sep 7th DPC being European.

Of course if the game is set in 2017, Sep 10th isn't a possible birthday for MC as it isn't the right day of the of the week in that year. But his birthday is around this time of year so congratulations to him.

Maybe these are all subtle hints that time travel exists, and changes to the timeline keep BADIK in temporal flux, where the time of events shift

I have toyed with a fanfic idea that the puzzle box is a time machine that resets the world to the starting time of the game and people in close proximity have memories of what happened.

Why the fuck is Quinn's route weirdly wholesome

Why the fuck is Quinn's route weirdly wholesome

Why, because Her Holiness embodies wholesomeness.
Her benevolence is paramount.
Her unmatched looks warms our undeserving, peasant hearts.
Her story is but the pinnacle of perfection.
For She is perfection.
Blessed be Divine Quinn.
Blessed be the True Goddess of Goddesses.

Solving the puzzle box gave MC cancer. How, you ask? Well, why did DPC give us a measly two renders? That reward is shit. In fact,

 

[El_Magnifico]

It's Sep 10th so happy (probable) birthday to MC. If our calculations are correct and the year of the events is 2020 (or 2015), he'd be 24 (or 29) today. So congratulations to him!

There's a time marker you missed and that Dalli_x missed because he still refuses to try more than one path.

The day Lana and Rox died, him and Buddy were talking about the Departed by Scorsese released in late 2006. Which means that the scene couldn't have happened before late 2006 at the earliest. We also know that Quinn was seven years old that night.

Considering she's one or two years older than than the main character in the current time, the events of the very episode first take place 13 or 14 years after the night when Lana and Rox died. So it's impossible than the first episodes take place in 2017-2019.

Unless the Departed was released sooner in DPC universe of course

Because she improves as a person. The thing about redemption stories is that it's easy to become "better" if you start from nasty as just becoming normal is an improvement.

That's the timeline where Scorsese didn't make The Aviator, so The Departed was made sooner

Speaking of movies, don't forget that the movie MC and Sage watch on their date is Barbenheimer, which was a 2023 thing.

 

[Orgitas]

There was a film/documentary named "Wings of a Butterfly" that came out to a cold reception in 2008. Make of that what you will.

I don't remember if there is a rat scene, but I think so, but it may refer to the original "infernal affairs" from 2002

Ah so the year is actually 2026. Maya is using a 2020 calendar because after the leap day it's the same thing and Cathy is lying a lot more shamelessly on Swyper. She looks good for 47, though. MC's old phone was seriously behind the times and the new one wasn't that much of an upgrade.

The game events haven't actually taken place yet. Which means we can change them! We must simply make better choices to avoid the bad scenarios.

Seriously though. The game probably takes place in 2019/2020.

Oh wait, I've got it! The game takes place in the Matrix! Instead of using humans as batteries, it's going off the original idea of using our brains for processing power. And because MC is such a fucking moron, his brain is creating errors in the Matrix, that range from the year constantly changing to the stupid writing logic of the world
