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

[maxthruster]

I just had my first colonoscopy. Not fun. I have to go back every 5 years. After reading the latest preview and estimating the timeline until completion, it appears I will have another colonoscopy before this game is finally completed. That kind of ruined my Friday.

Guess you could say you're feeling butthurt?

The Ep 8 talk was nothing like this. The one in the HOT house is literally just Josy trying to convince Maya to join the HOTs, Maya apologising to Josy for being so distant recently, and then her telling Josy she spoke to Sage. Then the talk in the MC's room is just more of Josy trying to convince Maya the HOTs are alright and that they'd be fine knowing they're together. That's the kind of surface level stuff I was talking about where they don't actually address the real underlying issues as they did in Ep 11. It dug so much deeper, revealed the major issues, had them recognise what they need to do fix it, and both earnestly made it clear how much they want it. Nothing before that even comes close to this because this conversation was sorely needed.


Literally all they did there was a small patch-up job that didn't get to the root of the issues. You keep acting as though every conversation was deeply profound and were portrayed as resolving everything but they weren't. Only the Ep 11 one really has that distinction, one you still refuse to see.


Because it takes communication to realise that they do. They both internally struggle with their feelings and emotions and both worry what the other would think if they voiced them, fearing that the other may be hurt or otherwise take it the wrong way. This is literally something all people face when in a couple, even the closest of couples, because people always have that fear of losing love because of a disagreement or miscommunication that gets out of hand. But you need to talk about these things and it's when they do they realise they "share a lot of these worries and thoughts" and it's precisely because, deep down, they have a good understanding of such things and each other.


Again, they never said anything even remotely as profound and serious as this in any previous moment together. This talk in Ep 11 is the biggest turning point for them in the entire game by far because of how important it was for them to finally have this cathartic conversation.


Misquoting and also missing the context again.

The actual line was, "Why does this feel exactly like it did before summer?", as in this most recent summer when they had to stay apart because Patrick had found out about them before then and the full context here is that she says this when she is moving to the HOT's house because Patrick's surprise visit means he could show up anytime and catch them unawares so they can't have private time in the dorm room anymore and it will be difficult in the HOT house because Josy shares a room.

Maya: "You'll be sharing a room, right?"
Josy: "I think so."
Maya: "It will be hard to get private time together."
Josy: "Why does this feel exactly like it did before summer?"
Maya: "It's because it's the same thing all over again."

So what she's actually referring to is that moving out and not being able to spend time together privately reminds Josy of how they were forced to stay apart at the start of summer because of Patrick, the very thing which started causing problems in the first place. So yes, their problems did start because of Patrick and it's again because the focus was so much on getting out of his ultimatum that they lost focus on each other and so drifted apart, but that isn't a problem now.


Because it will require certain choices be made by the player, but it's going to be possible.

To me ep8 they had much more positive vibes then ep11 did. My main issue they have talk about communication before in still in such bad shape with each other. It going to take action for the throuple to be save they said ep 8 they was going to put in the hard work, they didn't because if they had the ep11 talk would not had happen, just talking isn't enough and until there actions meets there words there words mean nothing.The vibes in 11 are so bad and even there expression are like i hear you but who are you kidding which in again the fact Mc just sleeps with one when he could had sleep with both matters, if they really meant everything they just said they would been like sleep with both of us but no that didn't happen.

As for what was said in ep7 really the only thing you can take from that is they wasn't spending time together but it doesn't prove Patrick had already given his ultimatum, maybe he did but that isn't known. Patrick was a problem but never been there problem just a easy out to blame.

Saving throuple could be possible but it also possible it won't be

 

[Darkwen]

Well, I don't care who's wrong and who isn't. You mentioned EP8, but not what Maya said in EP8 when the MC asked them both if everything was okay again.

Maya says that everything isn't okay yet, but that they're both working on it. EP8 is a little preview of EP11 and EP12.

Oh i didn't forget that at all if they had done what they talk about ep8 then ep11 never happens, but they didn't do the work which is why you can't take anything from ep11 beyond them realizing they have very deep problems. Until Josy and Maya actually try to make it work there is no reason to be hopefully unless you just want to ignore everything that has happen, and time is running out fast on them

Okay. Then explain to me what the point of the conversation with Derek in episode 5 is? Why give the player the option in episode 10 to tell Josy or Maya that the MC still has feelings for them? Empty choices that don't matter? DPC isn't the best writer, but this is too silly even for him.

Then explain to me, where is the follow up since then ?. Tell me, did you speak with Josy 's father on the phone ?, Have you introduced to her mother ? after the " infamous pillow fort " episode , in the very next episode MC had 1 conversation wiht Josy , one, in the path where you not with " them " . MC does not even know about Josy's only fans.

silly ? You say. The guy, create, animations for Zoey Running in the wood, Quinn slow clapping, the dilod form the helmet falling off , and you think giving a throw away line that has no follow up, after 6 episode, is silly ?!

note to myself: dont eat while reading at f95.


text to avoid off-topic rule: my guess (more like hope) on the trouple routes is that we will get 4 endings. one single ending with maya, one single ending with josy, a trouple ending and one ending with MC getting dumped (too high deviant score).

well Josy and MC did have more then one conversation in the ep along with there most important one yet. People upset with Josy in 11 had either never been in a relationship with a woman or shouldn't be in a relationship with a woman

 

[ChipLecsap]

DPC had plenty of opportunity to have someone assault Riona in the first two seasons. The fact that it didn't must surely mean it won't happen in season 3 either!

now that is a silly take.

Josy and Maya could have broken up when Josy arrived instead they immediately make up an kiss, folks even were mad at them for kissing if MC decided to remain friend with them.

they could break up after the Hots ceremony when Josy joined but maya did not , instead nothing happened, in fact, if MC part of their relationship, He even help them to get laid with each other.

During halloween, they argue a bit, and MC can tell Josy he thinking about her but all it does, is either nothing or give you that point that prevent you to say I love you to Sage .

but somehow they did not break up , then the infamous episode 11 where Josy Raped MC in her pillow fort because she put on a blue lingerie, had such an amazing folow up, that MC and Josy not even talked in the next episode .
But she had , may be for the first time in a long time had an honest heart to heart conversation with Maya

Yeah break up is written all over it

It’s difficult to judge season 3 since it is still incomplete. Serious question though, how many of you prefer the fun/ lighter tone of Seasons 1&2 and how many of you prefer the darker drama / moodier tone of season 3?
(Me? I enjoyed the earlier seasons, so far).

stop being retarded, we talking about the none Josy/maya path

I've never chosen "feelings for Josy" or "feelings for Maya," and I'm not interested in them. However, as far as I know, these choices already have consequences. DPC has done many foolish things, but there are almost no empty choices in the game. Even small decisions like whether or not to hit Troy have consequences. Do you think it doesn't matter if the MC still has feelings for the main girls? Do you think it's a coincidence that they are on the verge of collapse without the MC? Well, keep your opinion. Time will tell who is right.

literally a major choice, that will count toward as whether you are a Dik/chick affinity MC. .

i prefer the tone of 1 and 2, feel like though the rest of the game will have a darker tone to it but still have it light moments

Hmm now that's a difficult one.

I've stated before my belief that, when all is said and done, the Halloween free-roam and episode 9 in general will be viewed much more positively. People nowadays are still clowning on it, making jokes like "what if the next episode is entirely a free-roam" but the Halloween party in a vaccum is absolutely awesome and as part of a finished product it will likely be viewed as one of the highlights.

I think that the shift in tone is necessary as the game moves towards the endgame and, although some of it is handled poorly, it has contributed to some of my favourite discussion points such as the frat politics and relationship conflicts. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with the darker tone as it feels like the stakes are higher than the average light-hearted college AVN.

I have to note that once the drug/blackmail plots are completed, the epilogue will likely shift the tone back to a more positive and happy one which should end the game on a high.

I don't think Season 3 is all that much darker really. Everything that kicked off in S3 was already there in S1&2, just not the focus.

the once great Josy simp as really fallen now repeating the lines of someone that just wants to look smart tsk tsk

I feel like the fun/lighter tone would have been fun and its just a basically daily life of a college student, fucking, drinking and partying with the end game sticking it to Stephen and getting him fired.
