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

[dalli_x]

That scene never made sense to me the way it was set up. In what world would you not tell Sage if you are on her path as well as telling her gives you +2 Sage points.

The point of the whole scene is that Heather jumps into the pool beforehand, where Jacob says that the girls are getting pregnant. The pregnancy test is fine.
No, that was a joke.

We learn from Sarah that she and Melanie will continue to see each other despite Sage and Chad's breakup because they are friends with Chad.

That's fine as far as it goes, but the implication from Sarah clearly shows that there's more to this that we don't know yet. So my guess is that Sarah and Melanie initiated Sage and Chad's breakup by putting a note from themselves in Chad's gym bag. (So in EP5 we learn that Sarah and Melanie like to play games like this. They each put a filled condom in the other's bed and closet.) But in Chad's case, I think they didn't do it out of spite, but so that Sage and Chad would break up and both have a chance to be happy with other partners. Hence the push from Sarah to Melanie, because after all, they were in it together.

But what comes to my mind is that Sage violated Chad's privacy and maybe she's a little controlling about a boyfriend. She found the panties in Chad's gym bag, so she searched his gym bag.

I found Josy's reply to the reveal a bit hypocritical. Considering how many people they got involved in their own relationship, it was the wrong thing to say. Besides I feel like Josy was the wrong person to make the reveal to, the better choice would have been Maya.

Josy doesn't have the opposition for the relationship that Maya does, so there's not much she can help with because she never faced a situation like this.

I find the friendships in the HOT sorority terribly inconsistent, in terms that they aren't fleshed out enough. We see glimpses of how they are here and there, but in one scene they support each other while in the next one they outright say that they don't want Sage as president.

Maya would have suggested to not reveal Chad's secret, i am sure of that.

Josy is terrible insecure, she is the worst subject to ask for an advice, worse than Derek.

Female friendship is usually more hypocrital, and Sage is the more isolate one, also for herown faults

dalli my dude, take your medication. How does anything I said have anything to do with what you said? I was referencing the blowjob out of nowhere for not telling Sage, while telling her gives you +2 points (aka it is a big deal that you did tell her).

Also we know since episode 1 that Sage saw the panties on top of his open gym bag, the very first scene we see of her and Chad is exactly abut that.

It is speculation of what exactly Melanie and Sarah are involved in, could be the blackmail could be something else. But whatever it is they seem to want to keep the fact Chad is gay a secret.

I don't think I've seen a single self respecting dev that when talking about more funding, hardware upgrades, assets etc. that even mentions faster updates. Its always higher quality, more animations, longer animations, licensed ost that are promised. Now you can call that greed, or ambition, or whatever, but I honestly don't get why the public always cries about faster updates every time one of those devs makes it big, when they never promise such thing?

I get what you're saying, this was more of a general question not specifically directed at you. There will come a time when DPC and people in his position have to make some compromises, because no matter how proficient he is, there will always be the hardware limitations, but at the same time I just got tired of seeing entitled people on the pirate site demanding that 'X has no excuse for not hiring 20 people to help' and other retardations of the sort, while seemingly being completely oblivious how the patreon-centric business model works.

I always thought there should have been a crossover appearance. DJ Kink (Kindra !!!) should be the DJ at the upcoming DIKs Halloween party.

It's not like you'd be outing the two of them to everyone, just to the girl who he strung along under false pretences for possibly a few years.

Sage deserves to know and it looks like Chad has no intentions of ever telling her.

And given how well she handles it and the way she doesn't directly confront him about it but gives him another chance to come clean, telling her definitely seems to be the right choice.

And as I mentioned earlier, it resolves things between Sage, Mel and Sarah a bit more nicely.

Only Chad could tell Sage the truth, because it is not so important who Chad loves now, but if he has loved Sage or not. Sage needs to know this to go over that story.

As i already said before: sara e Melanie don't deserve yet Sage trust and forgiveness, it is not a good news

 

[znar25]

Fell in love with the game and its story! First game I have played like this! Currently on 3rd Play through.

Congrats and welcome !!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you on everything, and my MC always says Sage. But somehow I have mixed feelings about it.

The parallel situation that Josy & Maya and Chad & Troy are in is definitely something interesting. Both couples can't be open about it for one reason or another and have to hide.

That's where I see the reason why Jonah from Interlude could show up on B&R. Jonah is very open about his homosexuality and that is something that is missing on B&R. Through Jonah, Chad, Troy, Josy and Maya could also learn to be open about their homosexuality and bisexuality.

But that's just a thought of mine, nothing more.

Maya would have suggested to not reveal Chad's secret, i am sure of that.

Josy is terrible insecure, she is the worst subject to ask for an advice, worse than Derek.

In my opinion, it is correct that the MC told Josy about it because the MC can sell this situation as an affectation. Since Maya was not present and the MC would have told Maya later, it would have been intentional because the MC would have had time to think about it.

I agree that Josy doesn't have the resistance that Maya has. But Josy only refrained from telling her parents about her relationship with Maya because of Maya's experience. Therefore, Josy advises the MC not to tell Sage because of her own experiences.

I agree with you, so Maya would have suggested that too. But that would have been the wrong way to go. The right way to deal with something like this is pointed out by Jonah. Even Maya's problem is closer to a solution than before because she confided in Sage and Sage is okay with gay and bisexual unions.

Josy, of course, is unsettled because she learned from Maya what the consequences may be. Derek is much worse in this regard because he is prone to verbal diarrhea when under the influence of alcohol and this could quickly spread as a rumor.

 

[znar25]

Why did you need to go and do that? Who hurt you, and how can we make it stop?

LOLOL AC!!!

It is not that Josy is notoriously tight-lipped...

She is afraid of everything, from a piercing to meeting Burke

Especially the Sage line. I would add here:
"- Sage? After all these years?
- Always"

Yes there are some great romantic angles in this VN and, while it may sound sappy...... I am here for it.

 

[znar25]

Jill sez.... "You either want whores or me...the good girl. You can't have both!"

Jill... (In Andrew Dice Clay mocking voice)....."Arrrre you my boyfriend?"

MC..."Yeah, well, I am at this moment".....



(Yeah...you keep thinking that Jill......)

Who in your opinion would have been the best option for MC to go to advice for on the situation? IMO Elena would have been a good option IMO, if MC didn't go too much into details and was vague about who he saw but honest about what he saw.

Bella: mature and not so involved to stay objective

Elena is a good pick, but the relationship with mc is weak, if she understand whom he is talking about, wil she stay loyal?

Bella is also a good choice. I agree.

That's why I said he can stay vague about it. He can be like "Hey, I need your advice. I know a friend of mine that is cheating on her girlfriend, but I also found out that he's cheating on her with another guy. What should I do?

Women understand very well what you don't say, it is a dangerous game

This is a double-edged sword.

The MC is very good friends with Isabella or even more so, but Isabella doesn't change her mind about Sage until mid EP8.

With Elena, it's the other way around. She knows Sage very well, but the friendship between Elena and the MC doesn't get going until mid EP8 either.

I understand why the MC talked to Josy about it. Whether it's better or worse doesn't matter. But Josy noticed that something was bothering the MC, and she called him on it. But we know about Josy from EP6 that she can keep a secret and only talk about it with the person who trusted her with the secret. Maya violated that because she arbitrarily told Sage about her relationship with Josy without talking to Josy about it first.

 

[Lostanddamned]

It could be absolutely anyone of their mutual friends though. Hell, the first person to come to mind when it comes to cheating would be Tommy. For Elena to instantly get that MC is talking about Chad would be unrealistic IMO, but it's reasonable that it's AVN we are talking about.

This is a double-edged sword.

The reason I thought Josy was a bad option wasn't because she can't keep a secret, it's because she never has an opinion on anything. She just goes along with whatever everyone else says and almost never takes the initiative in leading or suggesting.

Bella doesn't have to like Sage to give an advice on her situation, Sage is only victim of the situation

Assuming Elena might find out and we wouldn't want that, I probably would've asked Cathy tbh if she was available.

I don't think I've seen a single self respecting dev that when talking about more funding, hardware upgrades, assets etc. that even mentions faster updates. Its always higher quality, more animations, longer animations, licensed ost that are promised. Now you can call that greed, or ambition, or whatever, but I honestly don't get why the public always cries about faster updates every time one of those devs makes it big, when they never promise such thing?

I get what you're saying, this was more of a general question not specifically directed at you. There will come a time when DPC and people in his position have to make some compromises, because no matter how proficient he is, there will always be the hardware limitations, but at the same time I just got tired of seeing entitled people on the pirate site demanding that 'X has no excuse for not hiring 20 people to help' and other retardations of the sort, while seemingly being completely oblivious how the patreon-centric business model works.

But I don't think you get what I'm saying. At no point did I say DPC should make things faster or sacrifice quality. I'm saying he can make things at his current pace but there are logical points in his releases to split it up. So you are talking about something completely different from what I'm saying.

Having said that, you are entirely wrong in saying that no self respecting dev would mention faster update when talking about more funding for hardware upgrades, assets, etc. In fact most of them do. Just that very few if any would give faster update as the only reason for more funding.
