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

[DavDR]

Hot girl, hot guy, sexual frustration, and too much alcohol. Porn game. It doesn't really take that much explanation.

That's not good enough, there's supposed to be a story here and this is a major inconsistency in that story. All you're doing is admitting that BaDIK is nothing but poorly animated porn, something several people have been insisting is not possible.

I don't know, but this sure looks like a kiss to me, and is before recording Chad and Troy on the phone.

Yeah, okay. Yes we were wrong, sorry. In my Defense I always go home to Maya, so I've kind of confused the timeline

 

[Lightaces]

No, that was a story point to Sage's backround and figured prominently in season one. The guitar is also supposed to be the MC's most prized possesion but he barely touches it after ep 5. The guitar lesson's were also a major part of Sage and MC's relationship, something they bonded over, and then all of a sudden they're gone from the story.

He plays it about the same amount in each episode. One or two practice sessions during the free roams in each episode. You have to have transcribed Jill's song, but I don't think that was optional.

As for Sage, well, I can't tell you how many people I've dealt with who "always wanted to play the guitar," and just stopped. Usually it's when they try to learn their first barre chord, but man, the people who stick with it are the exception.

 

[ChipLecsap]

No I think I got the continuity backwards on this one. The Party dance does come before the the spying on Chad thing. I was probably distracted by some asshole deleting all of my post.

Still I wonder if DPC got things backwards at that party. It's never been explained why Sage told Maya that the HOT's weren't going to the party,

I only know one answer, so I chose that. But the "Daughters" were not at the party , only the actual Hots members. so whoever said what to Maya was not fully wrong, Maya even ask about it that the other Daughters was there or not, and they were not.

Maya does specifically mention that Sage told her, and MC brings it up at the party. Then it's never mentioned again.

College kids fuck. Nothing out of character there. And if she's been dating Chad for 3 years without getting laid, she's FRUSTRATED!!!!!! Add some drinks, and she was obviously already intrigued by the MC, from their interaction in the cafeteria. I mean, he's just done what, 4 shots in 5 minutes? That's a lot of alcohol in a short time for someone who has a low tolerance. He implies that she is similarly drunk (a party girl at a party, right?) Doesn't bother me at all.

 

[sorco2003]

In a quick recapitulation, and more from memory than anything else; after the last lesson with the guitar, the events that lead to the infamous rebound boy are triggered... That is, Chad leaves Sage, Sage calls the MC and they talk in the rain, Sage puts some distance with the MC for obvious reasons, starts to prepare her dissertation, gets sick, asks the MC for help, recovers and the MC brings up the rebound guy... facepalm... That's when the MC distances himself from Sage. So I don't think it's weird or far-fetched that the lessons have been put on hold or ended altogether.

I liked the pictures. Kill me. Look at my signature - I'm team Sage all the way! And she looks great in that tank top!

Every single episode up to ep 5 prominently features a Sage/MC guitar lesson scene, then it just disappears from the story. For two episodes straight.

Again, not really a mystery. It just wasn't an event for HOT pledges. None of the other daughters were there. It's not that strange. If they didn't have anything planned for the pledges, no reason for them to come.

Yeah I liked those guitar scenes, and not just the sexual aspect, they were fun interactions.

But guitar lessons were kinda inappropriate for episode 6. Sage was in a dark place and I doubt she would have wanted to. She was sick and had just been dumped. There were other priorities.

Episode 7 could have snuck a lesson in, but once again, there were other focuses.

Hopefully there will be further focus on the guitar later, like playing Jill's music for her and more lessons for Sage.

Dude, stop getting all hyperbolic. I mean that is like absolutely not what anyone is "admitting".

Sage is seriously drunk and comes on to the MC at the party, and he thinks to himself that he hasn't seen that side of her. She's looking for some attention and she's obviously attracted to the mc. The mc can then kiss her or not. Things escalate further and she's about to fuck him in front of everyone. She admits she's totally off her face, so she's probably not making the smartest decisions here...

Later in the first guitar scene where they are flirting like fuck, if he kisses her she asks what's he doing and he says they are continuing from where they left off at the party.

No issue with continuity there.

Like sorco2003 said, they were putting some distance in their relationship. Look, their are plenty of actual mysteries in this game, but this ain't one of them.

I changed my mind about MC. For walking out on Sage (and the rebound guy shit), he does deserve that slap from Tybalt. He also deserves a shove from Troy, a sucker punch from Chad, a kick in the balls from Josy (after Jill has properly blued them), and for good measure, a wedgie from Dawe. Get bent MC.

Separate topic. Look at this glorious quote from a dev. Wonder if he had a certain other dev in mind when he wrote it.

"I make it a point to telegraph dangerous choices and keep you on the rails. Also, there's no mutually exclusive paths, so no need to hold off on any character out of fear of missing out with another. I really recommend you try it without walkthrough or walk through mod on your first play and trust that I won't try to fuck you over with surprise lockouts/endings."

Preach, soul brother

Yeah, I like that game. I sure hope the new episode drops soon.

What game is it from?

 

[Lightaces]

What game is it from?

Midlife Crisis. Ignore the Gay and Rape tags. There is a single scene where you don't see anything, really, and which is easily avoidable.

 

[PashafromRussia]

It is clear that the main character used guitar lessons only as a reason to fuck Sage. Have you never come to reinstall Windows in a women's dormitory? The guitar plays an important role in the relationship with Jill. I think the main character will perform with her at a solo concert in the future.

I don't think the term "DIK" has been defined well enough. The DIKs themselves are a mixed bag:

• Rusty seems like a genuinely nice guy who comes across like he puts on an act of confidence when he's talking to the ladies.
• Tommy is just a straight up unpleasant piece of works mostly only looking out for himself.
• Jacob is a smart, talented guy who's rather cautious to the point of almost being a pussy.
• Jamie is a sensitive guy who gets pushed around in relationships.
• Leon is a strange one, pressuring Jamie into the threesome with Arieth, getting all bent up outta shape when discussing his lapdance with Lily and Jamie. Not sure what his deal is.
• John Boy is another oddball, he has no concerns fucking his girl in public or sharing her with others, and yet his confidence is boosted when he finds out the mc wants to fuck Elena.
• Nick... That slimy double cross no good swindler! He even lies about fucking Arieth to try to be one of the gang. He's no DIK, he just rode in Vinny's coat tales.
• Vinny could very well be the only true DIK. He seemed likeable but crazy and up for any shit. Like when Nick was describing him, "They told us to do a keg stand; he did two. They told us to do the gay guard catcher; he did it without wearing a mask. Everything about him was just awesome." The rest of the DIKs pale in comparison to him.
• Derek (thanks openup212) is probably another good example of a DIK. Doesn't really care what others think of him, speaks his mind even if it results in being dragged by the ear into jade's office, and basically does whatever he wants.
• Fuckface isn't really a DIK, he's a nice guy who possible cheats a lot and could be rough around the edges.

The only thing they all have in common is they will fuck anything that moves (except Nick, he's a phony).

Seriously Dalli, all of that is what you took away from this photo? All the random, less important shit? The key to this family photo is how unhappy Maya looks and her distance from her father.

Shazba with that I agree and that's almost all true. But with your Fuckface you have to add one more thing. The player determines up to the FakeID option, as the basic setting of the MC becomes.

So that Maya looks unhappy I have not written in, because that is more than obvious. I agree with you about the thick clothing, it could also be fingerprints on the display of the phone or the photo. Good point. I don't know much about fashion in Sweden.

But Derek's hand is weird. I wouldn't grab my dad's ass. Patrick's herpes-infested lower lip is also visible.

She didn't agree to a relationship. She wanted to fuck and told the main character what he wanted to hear. She was just using him.

LoL that’s one perspective. Perhaps relationship is to stronger word. She agrees to date. MC didn’t want to be ‘just’ fuck buddies anymore, she didn’t see the problem, he explains it to her, she agrees to try for something more. I don’t think she is ‘using’ him.

• John Boy is another oddball, he has no concerns fucking his girl in public or sharing her with others, and yet his confidence is boosted when he finds out the mc wants to fuck Elena.
• Nick... That slimy double cross no good swindler! He even lies about fucking Arieth to try to be one of the gang. He's no DIK, he just rode in Vinny's coat tales.

John Boy is interesting he seems to lean more to the Chick side of things, except he’s and exhibitionist. Will be interesting if we get the Devil’s Triangle with him and Elena

Nick is also an interesting one, I’m not 100% sure he is a bad guy, it seems obvious, too obvious. We know Nick‘s in the Library after the laptop is found and his room doesn’t get trashed. But he also seems concerned about the others, getting back to the DiK lifestyle and also sharing out the ‘lame’ work. I wonder if truth be told he’s closer to the CHICK side of the spectrum and is being used as a red herring.

As it's a porn game and it seems a huge percentage of players (or maybe just a huge percentage of vocal players) don't seem to handle the fact that a girlfriend may have had a sexual relationship before them, Sage's immediate relationship with Chad has been hinted at as being sexless without overtly stating it.

That way, without saying she did or didn't, the anti-NTR crowd don't feel like they've been cucked by Chad (even if that makes no sense) and the rest of us can assume Chad probably did have sex with her, even if he was gay, because:

1. He may not have been 100% certain of his sexuality and he came to terms with it over time,
2. He may have had sex with her even if it wasn't his preference (a lot of gay men have married women and had families while denying or hiding their sexuality); or
3. He may be bi, in which case Troy being a guy doesn't mean anything, it just means Chad cheated on Sage with someone else.

But what we do know is it's clear he never really was in to Sage, so the question still hangs, why would Sage be head over heels for ~3 years for a guy who is obviously not into her?

I still don't think she cheated on him. When she first gets sexual with the mc she justifies it that Chad started it. Jade does the same thing.

I don’t think the ‘NTR‘ side of Things is an issue in this instance. Of All the female characters the only one who is ‘untouched’ is Jill. Bella has a husband, Maya has Josy, Josy had guys before MC, Sage had Chad and possibly others before. It’s certainly not implied she is a Virgin the first time the MC rails her.

I get if people don’t like cheating stuff, but I have no time for people who feel ‘cucked’ by ex/boyfriends, especially the ex/boyfriends of a fictional character. I know, I know, they self insert as the MC, but in that case if the MC doesn’t feel cucked by the ex why do they?

but it's clear that apart from Maya and Jill there are no virgins in the story, but it can't be a coincidence that none of the girls MC has sex with, clearly has /had /will have a sexual relationship with someone else, without the need to see it of course, but not even to know it. and the fact that among the LI there is a girl engaged and a married one makes it even more obvious

and among these girls there are prostitutes!!!! but even for them it is not obvious that they have had sex with someone other than MC

the only two female characters that we know have had sex with someone other than MC are Arieth and Elena


in the end the pure souls of the patreons want this and DPC gives them this
