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

My spicy take is you could extend that to the whole of the Interlude. Should have been a series of extended cut-scenes part of a chapter, with like you said, it focused more on the MC. The only way I could see it justified is if Zoey becomes a second MC and/or oversized roll with the characters she interacted with playing larger part in the overall narrative. Otherwise, it felt like too much of a diversion, with Zoey's character development needlessly stretched and focused on. I suppose Zoey fans will now crucify me.

Zoey's episode was supposed to be showing how she succeeded in chasing her dream and in the end realizing that nothing she achieved compared to what she had. I'm sure many players would empathize with her.

From the way she was introduced into the plot, it seems that she only came back to the life of the MC because none of her plans were successful and she realized that she sucked at surfing. So it's easy to regret and want the MC back.

I wonder myself: If she had become a successful surfer would she still remember the MC?

We kind of have that already with Neil and Lynette, though.

True, to a certain extent, but that could all change based on what is eventually learned about Lynette and how it relates to other characters.

Lol, probably not. Maybe enough to visit once or twice a year when she goes back to visit her mom.

I mean, we already having a long story told with flashbacks during several episodes. It must have a point, for sure. Chekhov's Gun. If nothing came out of it it would be pointless. Having two stories be told like that would feel repetitive.

Payout better be worth it otherwise it's going in the same bin as the interlude, don't you worry. Right now, it feels like it might, whereas the Interlude feels like we are left with an equivalent LI, with a whole bunch of characters not even tangentially connected to the MC. But, who knows, I could be wrong and Zoey fans can dance on my doo-doo for brains head in hindsight.

Some characters from the Interlude have been replying to Zoey on Rooster, so I guess they will matter. If the whole Interlude could be summarised in a couple of scenes with no repercussions to the story would be a waste, so I hope it does. Same with Neil and Lynette's.

If these flashbacks to Lynette's diary lead the MC to at least meet his grandfather, I'd consider it worth it. My fear is that the diary has no use and only exists to provide a background for Lynette and Neil.

Window dressing. Let me know when they actually affect the plot.

What's the difference between Season 1-2, and Season 3+Episode 9? Do I need to finish Season 1-2 first before downloading Season 3?

Yep, play through season 1-2, then import it into season 3

Just don't merge the 2 directories. They are separate games.

Look, I never said that asking for help is bad. It is ok. Everyone lives as they want or as they can afford. You're saying Quinn is solving her problems the wrong way. But she solves them, right?! Yes, it's risky. Even too much. But it's her choice. I won't judge her. She didn't do anything wrong to me. Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of specifically arguing with someone here about this, and proving my case. I just can't agree with some opinions about Quinn. Because let's take wildlife as an example, and there's a wolf eating a hare. OK, can we say that the wolf is acting badly, or there - the wolf is not cool, the wolf is a bad egoist and narcissist ?! Or vice versa - this stupid hare is worthless, he's a fucking loser ?! No, they're just the way they are, and that's their way of life.

as long as we can agree asking for help isn't bad sure that's cool. now as for your relation to wild life that makes no sense your comparing a human that can make good choices but a longer process and bad decisions but a shorter process of making money to survival. no matter how you look at it in the wild someone is dying because of the food chain now do I judge Quinn based off her action no because I don't care what others do however just like how we don't care about what she does some people judge her based off her actions. Also I apologize didn't want to make this seem like some debate but thought wanted to say something about your comment have a nice day/night

the function of the interlude was well defined, to give a more substantial backstory to Zoey, it need not have such a marked influence on the story to come beyond Zoey's very presence. two messages on rooster are frankly irrelevant

on the other hand Lynette's diary is completely useless for now, removed from the sentimental value it may have for MC, it didn't add much to what little or nothing Neil remembered, for now she brought the photo with Jill's house, that may well be all her contribution, there were more painless ways to get us that information.

 

[Lovetities]

I wonder myself: If she had become a successful surfer would she still remember the MC?

Probably, but I don't think she could ever go back to him. At best, she may try to take him to San Diego again. It hard to forget someone you have spend half of your teenage years. Same way, Fuckface will remember her as he plows Jill/Sage.
Ps- Zoey may never loved fuckface but she sure as hell cared alot about him as a friend.

Maybe they are irrelevant, or maybe they can appear in the future again. We can't be sure for now.

It's true that Lynette's Diary is useless for now. But it must mean something at some point, lead to some discovery or anything important. If not it would be just a waste of time on irrelevant information. Even if it deepens his parents story that alone wouldn't justify the time employed.

That's right, the diary is important. Surely a diary is the key to getting an inheritance from a rich grandfather. Subsequently, this money will help Fuckface to do the main thing of his whole life - to solve Quinn's problems, and make her life beautiful and carefree. Therefore, the diary is extremely important for this story.

Nah, the cansyphilaids she contracts will make Acting Lessons look like a fairy tale.

No you know that money is going straight to help Maya. No one cares about that ferret quinn.

In other words, in your opinion, Tremolo's job is to be Quinn's willless vicarious agent or slave? Personally, I still hope Vinnie shoots her or she accidentally overdoses. Quinn is a stupid scheming cunt. Completely worthless.

Of course, you can use different words to describe an ordinary family life.
