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

[ChipLecsap]

I still don't understand how memes, jokes and whatnot aren't on-topic when they are literally about the game. Otherwise, they're about the thread and its users like you said which also shouldn't be considered "off-topic". I've noticed the same complainer's posts before and they're honestly getting repetitive at this point. I don't know what the fuck she's talking about with "meme spamming" either when there's not a whole lot of spamming happening in this thread and certainly not with memes. Never been on a discussion thread with zero memes because there always will (and should) be those. Of course, if you want the thread to die completely and become the most boring one on this site...

When Darkwen post a pic of Josy, and write his word that I refuse to say, that in the end is still on topic. as cringe as it is after all it is still an ingame picture of Josy related to the game.
But then for the next 2-3 page everyone responding to him with varius shit gif-s that has nothing to do with the game, not conversation about the fucking game at all, it just literal shit posting
it is fascinating to scroll through half of the page with a bunch of trash gif, and fucking leonard nimoy face every fucking day, that add nothing to the topic just an another trash page.
10000 of this topic pages could have been deleted and nothing of value would be lost

I don't really understand why there is not an Badik off topic already SG has it Eternum has it for example , everyone who want to shit post can go there, and the main place is clean

I think you have some valid observations, in this thread there is an excess of useless memes not related to the game. I don't get the necessity of recycled memes, but I have to admit I generally don't like memes in discussions, while it seems most people find them funny.
This thread has also much relevant content about the game, there are interesting analysis and theories. They are a bit dispersed in the kaos of the posts, but that is inevitable.

Getting everyone's hopes up just to fuck them over?

You're right.

someone knows whats the name of that actor?

That's my default and first run with every update. That's the way it's supposed to be played, don't listen to weak people and infidels. Welcome to the Illuminati.
(Regarding pet names, Riona calls me "Master" and Quinn calls me "brother").

my first run was mostly dik (somehow ended with neutral) and after full dik. in s3 only did others path
we could be brothers in arms... in fun. but it sounds gay.
in one of my saves, Quinn calls me "Owner", Sarah+Mel calls me "BigBang" or was it other girl?

Wes Chatham, from The Expanse.

He'd make a halfway decent Caleb tbh. Not as freakishly jacked of course, but hey.

You guys are still looking for actors to make a hypothetical series of Being a DIK.

No, that was just an attempt to go from off-topic to back on-topic The fancasts I've seen for BADIK are absolutely fucking dogshit. Except for whoever said Jason Mantzoukas as Derek, I like that one a lot (the spirit of it anyway).

 

[Ray_D]

And we'll never stop.

The real challenge is not to find the actors, the real challenge is to rewrite the story so that it doesn't completely look like a trashy porno like Euphoria was. We should also fix the plot that has more holes than a street in my third world country.

Yeah, I've noticed that, most of the fan casts here suck.

I agree on that. Sometimes, users on this thread go overboard with the memes. Pretty much every day that I've logged on here, I come back to see +5-10 pages of actual off-topic images, GIFs and the alike. I don't even find most of them the least bit amusing. But they still don't fit the description of "meme spamming", and I'm not gonna be the guy that comes on here every now and then to complain by saying something along the lines of: "Great thread, except for ___", with the "___" part being something that the majority of users here most enjoy about this thread. If Tremonia wants to read discussions about the game's plot (just an example), the search bar is there for it. Just about all the topics related to that, or whatever else that she seems to think are the only "on-topic" related discussions that you can have on here, are already covered. That is the reason why people wander off the path of keeping the thread strictly on-topic.

But this isn't anything against GIFs or memes in particular, especially if they're used to better express points of discussion. The only thing I'm saying is that sometimes they really are off-topic memes that don't even relate to the thread or its users all that much, let alone the game itself. Those should be treated as a separate issue instead of claiming that all the memes in this thread are part of the problem, when they're obviously not.

I don't really understand why there is not an Badik off topic already SG has it Eternum has it for example , everyone who want to shit post can go there, and the main place is clean

This is why the users of this thread shouldn't be blamed for them occasionally posting off-topic stuff here. Because there is no other thread to post that stuff in, yet.

When this thread first started, the old crew an I (from my long since deleted account) managed to mess it up...a little. Members like Name88, KingMonkeyMon, Mormert (think I'm spelling that wrong) an a handful of others forced the mods to come down hard here. Then we moved to an unofficial discord and the thread calmed down a bit. Sorta.

But other people just replaced the old gang and the chaos was reborn, heh.

I do wonder why there isn't an off-topic for this game though. Maybe the mods gave up.

I hate this phrase, find it annoying, but for those that are complaining that the thread is oversaturated with memes/off-topic talk, "be the change you want to see in the world." Get things back on track by coming up with on-topic discussions.

I'll start: who do you think the traitor is realistically speaking—for an AVN—how will things end up with the milfs? Bella, Nicole, Nora, and I suppose Jade. Bella has depression, and obviously has an MIA husband who will probably show up eventually, or at the very least we'll get a real answer to his whereabouts. Nicole is a single mother who strips for a living, not exactly an ideal situation to get into as a 19 year old. Nora has baby fever and not everyone is cool with that. Jade is a crazy bitch (and you might be banging her daughter). And of course, 3 out of 4 milfs have the Sword of Damocles hanging over them: they're your teachers, and nothing in this game stays secret.

Happy endings aren't guaranteed, but the game has a pretty positive outlook and real connections with people, there's always a chance

 

[Deleted member 6546851]

Isn't that the problem? It's one thing to say "use the search button for specific issues like to find the latest status update/compressed version/android port" but totally another thing to say "use the search button if you want to discuss the game in the game thread"

Yes, it is. Hence why I didn't say "use the search button if you want to discuss the game in the game thread", but "use the search button if you want to read discussions about the game in the game thread". It's also one thing to inform the mods about wanting an off-topic thread for this game, instead of continuously bitching to the users of the on-topic thread that they should stop using the on-topic thread for these off-topic discussions that they've been having on here when there is no actual off-topic thread for Being a DIK yet, which is not the users' fault. They obviously don't give a shit that someone wants an off-topic thread for this game because if they did, they would already have it by their own request. Or maybe they do, and they don't have it anyway because the mods are refusing to create one, so the only place for them to have off-topic discussions in is still this on-topic thread. Most of the discussions you could have here about the game's plot and whatnot are already covered like I said in my previous post, which is why I suggested that if she wants to read those kinds of discussions instead of the memes that this place is filled with nowadays, the only option aside from repeating the same discussions over and over again that have already been covered many times before is to use the search bar, find discussions about it and read them. If it's information and other users' insight she wants, it shouldn't matter whether she's participating in the discussion or not. But if she has something new to say about that topic, then she's free to bring it up here and start a new discussion about it. Although I highly doubt that she does, since she clearly prefers complaining about memes to that.

It hasn't been a year yet, do learn to count.

Update will take over a year though, so get a chair.

yeah, should have said "almost a year". huge difference. my bad.

 

[Deleted member 6546851]

What part of " If Tremonia wants to read discussions about the game's plot (just an example), the search bar is there for it. " doesn't mean "if you want to discuss the game then use the search button"?

The part that says if she wants to read discussions, she can use the search bar to find them and read them. It's that simple, since that's what I wrote.

It either means that, or that she's not allowed to want to discuss the plot because other people have already discussed it.

I already addressed this in my previous post. It means that people are posting off-topic memes here because the on-topic discussions have already been covered, so if she has something new to add to those discussions (which I doubt), she shouldn't be here complaining about memes because that's a way better alternative to it. It's like Better Cock Spock put it, if you want people to discuss the on-topic matters, you should start a discussion about them as that's the only way you're gonna get it. Complaining on here about it when you can't even come up with a topic of discussion to start with yourself is plain stupid.

There are already two (at least) offtopic threads for BaD here and here. But no-one posts in them. Mods can't do much about this thread because there's so many memes and shitposts that it would be a full time job to delete them all or move them to an offtopic thread.

I didn't know about them. In my original post, I was responding to Chip who said that there isn't one.

It's almost impossible to actually start a discussion in this thread currently unless you're really lucky with your timing, because if you get your timing wrong then it's just lost in 2-3 pages of memes and shitposts.

Agreed. There are many interesting subjects related to this game that you could come up with a discussion about, which aren't given any attention when someone posts about them because people are too busy shitposting and memeing about irrelevant stuff.

If people actually wanted this to be an on-topic thread again rather than resembling the offtopic threads of other games like SG and Eternum then it would take a collective effort for everyone to stop with the shitposting and memes or to move across to one of the offtopic threads linked above. The aggressive reaction to Tremonia pointing out the truth about the thread shows that this is never going to happen.

This is the point that I was trying to make. They don't give a shit. If they did, they would've requested one by this point. And even if they did do that but the mods wouldn't create one, they would still only have this thread for themselves to post off-topic stuff in. But your point about there already being a few off-topic threads created solidifies the fact that they don't give a shit at all.
