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

[El_Magnifico]

Is anyone expecting otherwise? Like, would that even constitute a spoiler? She wasn't at the hideout. She was watching the police raid the hideout in an apartment on the other side of the road. She was completely fine.

We're talking about DPC. He could 100 % post a dozen of previews of Bella, Quinn, Maya or anyone else like that :



A simple close up with a neutral expression. In the past, he has even use a butt shot as preview but he still going to pretend he can't find a no-spoiler render in his 2-3k rendered shit

You're giving Buddy too much credit.

Not really, I just think that the police will be bad at their job. Especially considering how they're already failing by warning the ones in the drugs den with their flashing lights (I don't know if they had their sirens on).
We've also seen quite a few people already in high places that are corrupt. I won't really be that surprised if at least one of them that have an influence within the police can just let them go (if they're also buying drugs from Buddy's dealers/straight from Buddy).

Hey guys, which path is better for Josy and Maya? Chick, neutral or Dik?

Up until ep 11 Neutral is imo the best path for almost everyone, including the throuple.

We don't know yet however what will happen in ep 12 onwards. It is possible that for example DIK is necessary if you want to"betray" Maya and just go further with only Maya and Josy and that Neutral and/or CHICK are mandatory to keep the throuple going. Unfortunately currently we can only speculate about this.

Nah, see. DPC's writing is so masterful that even seemingly innocuous renders will spoil huge swathes of the story. That just how good and meticulous and deep his writing is. Every render is drowning in meaning and symbolism and depth.

DPC doesn't do m lazy writing. He said so, and why would he lie?

Well, considering Derek is his self-insert and Derek's stories aren't that well written and likes to exaggerate...

We are at the end of the third season, which may be the last for the plot before the epilogues. There is no time to defeat even the corruption

Who's saying we're going to defeat all the corruption? Imo at most the only corrupted person we'll defeat is Stephen. Not every story needs to have a totally happy ending, even in its good ending.

On the other hand, do you think Buddy can get away with it after torturing Riona? Saving him from the police, what would be the point? If the police are not enough who should stop him?

I won't be too surprised if Buddy will use someone as a fallguy for the Riona situation, probably one of his less profitable dealers. And if the police is not enough... there are quite a few other ways to stop him, the most probable being killed/taken down in self-defense.

In my opinion Buddy's faults are infinitely more serious and obvious than Burke's. He must be punished not just taken out.

And I agree. I'm just saying that I don't think he will be punished at the start of the episode because of the police raid. He is connected to at least 3 tragedies that we know of and that are important to MC and/or his (possible) friends: Lana and Rox's death and Riona's torture. If Buddy is going to be punished, it's more likely to happen by MC or his friends. If not, it would just be a letdown to the storyarc. I know DPC is known for that (like the whole "student loan" situation), but I don't think he will do the same here, the risks are too high in the plot.

They are just a bunch of goofy frats boys and student girls. Dealers war is too much to handle for them. Characters like Quinn directly involve in the storyline are more fitting to take Buddy down. It's not like, Buddy is such an important part of the global story. The MC, the love interests and the DIKs aren't even aware of his existence. He's manly part of Quinn's character arc. DPC doesn't even need Buddy to be free to explore Jill and Lana story.

Vinny is another story since he was a former DIK and already has animosity with the main character, Tommy, Lily and can possibily be tied to Nick now that the rat has showed his true nature.

The incoming fights with the alphas and Magnar's manipulation should be the main focus of the DIKs. Just like Stephen, Zoey, Bianca temptation, the throuple and whatever is in Isabella's closet should be the main problems of the love interests. Buddy not that much.

Could you be more specific?

Not really - it'd just be weird to talk about the cheater as "Anderson" when there are two of them in the class.

Imo for the current story it's more than enough for the teachers to know the first name (which they do thanks to the student number), unless the cheating part will have a larger effect in the remainder of the story.

It's fun to speculate/theorize who the real cheater is (if MC doesn't cheat), but at the moment nothing more than that.

Did you guys ever wonder at DPC never having a trigger warning added to AL and yet this one has a strong cautionary warning added at the very beginning? Maybe everyone's favorites are going to die or end miserably... wouldn't that be a cheery thing for some to have spent a decade of their lives waiting on?

1. He was still new with AL and the trigger warning is shown on the steam page ofAL (don't know about other sites where you can get it).
2. As far as I can remember (haven't played AL for about 5 years or so) Acting Lessons didn't really have really dark moments besides The Choice. BAD however has quite a few already and we're not done yet with the story. I expect some more and maybe even darker stuff is still waiting to happen, but I doubt it will be everyone's favorites (which position is probably somewhat split between Bella, Riona and Sage among the fanbase). If people are going to die or end miserably for which we don't want it to happen, it will probably one of the non-sidegirl strippers, D&M's mother or somebody else that is less important to the story.
