Well, not much to see here but perhaps we'll get a proper sense of what's left next week.



Jill's big scene wasn't perfect, but I thought it delivered where it needed to. I'd certainly have preferred if the MC spent a little more time getting some enthusiasm going with Jill, but the awkward passivism made sense for the girl who clearly had some hang-ups to work through. More importantly, it gives us plenty of room to grow in future episodes. Also, while I'm none too keen on Jill's destiny fixation, I very much appreciated the way she verified she and the MC *are* an item now. It made the situation clear for her in a way the other girls just lack.

Indeed, most of the appeal of Jill's first sex scene is that the rest of the LI scenes in Episode 8 are pretty lackluster. The Maya/Josy threesome at the water park is good, but very short and it's hamstrung by the way their branch is left hanging at the end of the episode. Individually, Josy just gets a quicky in a restroom and Maya gets a drunken romp that would have worked if her high spirits didn't evaporate the next time we see her. Sage has to timeshare with Quinn for (hopefully) the worst threesome in the game. Bella's scene is the only one that really lives up to its potential (plus she gets an encore), but I'm just not into her. I can't take her romance seriously when the MC refuses to ask WTF happened to her marriage.

Jill's scene may have been unambitious, but it did at least stick the landing.

You extol Maya and Josy's threesome at the water park and call Sage and Quinn's the worst of all ?


It was nice to meet you, but you deserve two interludes per chapter

Seriously though. I do like Jill. I was expecting more. She was so passive it was a bit of a buzz-kill. Total 1 out of 5.

1 outta 5!?! That's harsh. I think your pizza treatment was nicer! :eek:

Having said that, if it wasn't for Sage confusing the rankings, I'd have said Jill was a 3 outta 5 lay, but Sage throwing around 3s for some marathon fucking (starting in the garden and working around the building back to her room), I don't really know how to score anymore. o_O

As Dr PinkCake gives details about the rendering process of his game, I wonder why he doesn't pay for an online server specifically for this task. Cloud rendering is more efficient and, I suppose, less expensive than keeping a computer running 24/7, not to mention the frequent replacement of the graphic card. Sweden is one of the most expensive countries in Europe for electricity but has a decent internet speed; So many reasons to work online.

From what I've heard, he's got like 8 RTX 3090 graphics cards, so he's not afraid to fork out when he needs it. Electricity costs would be substantial, but maybe he's got 1 system doing the renders and the other 7 are bitcoin mining! :ROFLMAO:

it was her first time, she looked frightened
I don't like the ogre-goblin hybrid either but taking those things into consideration (not that she's an ogre-goblin hybrid) I thought the scene was in line with her character and experience and well done as such

TBH from my work perspective if you plan to consume a lot of cloud resources, on premises option is much cheaper. Cloud is (in almost all cases) easier to manage but definately not cheaper if utilized a lot.

As paranoid as DPC is about peopel "stealing" his renders and "hurting his business" there is no way he will ever Cloud with BaDIK assets. He would gladly fork over half his patreon monies to keep buying new hardware as necessary. He is making more than enough to maintain his PC farm regardless of how expensive electricity and everything else is in Sweden. Here is the breakdown of DPC expenses and where this patreon/steam money is really going:

15% Custom Hentai porn
50% Wife Shopping Trips
20% Hush money to Stockholm stripper with his bastard child
5% Consultation fees to Shazba about how to quietly handle said bastard child
5% Computer hardware & Miscellaneous BaDIK development costs
5% Everything else

Anybody who wants to make money off Bitcoin mining hasn't been using GPUs for at least 5 years now, it's all custom ASIC. A lot of the other fluff coins continue to use them, though, hence the shortages pre-COVID.

If DPC handles things even remotely like I do, it'd be all connected to the same LAN with one central box storing all his posed still/scene setups, and then he'd set up a queue on each of the workstations to render a number of scenes out and let them fly.

So the first misstep, when Jill starts to remove her clothing, the fucking idiot mc is like:

mc: "(What's going on?)"

What's going on with your brain, dickwad? His response should have been (like it was in the mind of every cunt playing this game right then and there):

mc: "(Oh fuck yes!!)"

The mc then, white knight moron that he is, checks to see if Jill is ok going forward. You trying to cockblock yourself or what, Fuckface?! If she had responded, "On second thoughts, maybe this is rushing into things, sorry to interrupt your evening, I'll be going now", there wouldn't be anyone left on this forum to defend Jill, because they all would have killed themselves! :eek:

Then the mc is all like:

mc: "Wanna go to bed? :sneaky:"

As cliched a move that it is, it's still a good move.

But her response was funny:

Jill: "Ok."

This moment killed me. It's easy to explain, in Jill's path our Tremolo is a CHICK, an insecure pussy and a soyboy. He can only be like that, otherwise you won't see Jill's cunt. No wonder he reacts so shyly.
In my opinion, Jill's canon path is a romantic story in which MC falls in love with Jill and doesn't see other girls on the way with her. That is, Zoey remains his only sexual partner before Jill. MC looks shocked and doesn't believe this is actually happening. Really CHICK path.
This scene always seems...boring and a little cringy.
