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

[The Glorious LIME]

Somewhat DIK related question: I heard somewhere that Tremolo will stop uploading BaDIK songs on Youtube(Ep9 being his last).
Anyone know the reasons?

You can make immature choices and still be a good person. So I've always considered the CHICK/DIK scale less as a morality scale and more of a maturity scale. CHICK involves more mature decisions, consideration, thoughtfulness, respectfulness while the DIK choices are less mature and more brash. At least that's the way I see it.

I think that final Zoey decision encompassed that pretty well. Zoey decided to be the bigger person and defuse Emma even though she went full psycho. I don't think that made her a doormat. I think it was the opposite.

Besides, I think DPC anticipated that people would want things to be kept simple with shaping Zoey. You can tell that shit by the people who want to sKiP ThE FeMaLe PrOtaGoNiSt and complain about how you can't skip it right away (without realizing you can skip it after at least one playthrough). So even if it were 10 decisions that define her as CHICK or DIK, it doesn't really matter. People skipping the interlude will pick the same options for Zoey every time to make her either CHICK or DIK, so why not keep that shit simple. One major choice is fine by me for a skippable interlude.

I'm curious, how does her affinity change the plot? or her behaviour at least?

I'm curious, how does her affinity changes the plot? or her bahaviour at least?

So far it's minor differences in dialogue and actions. E.g. CHICK Zoe is displeased with firefighter douchebag who tried to make out with her, while DIK Zoe cut that short with a knee to the nuts.

I'm


Ahhh!!! I never even thought of that! I just went searching the source code for them and couldn't figure out why there were seperate variables. Okay, now I feel stupid! LMAO... thanks. Still... pet name of "Daddy" is kind of fun. LOL

Maybe you should change your username temporary to Tired-Out Hacker (learned it myself for doing unnecessary things coding while being tired)?

I see, thanks for sharing. I usually listen to the OST on SC, but I like to drop by YT sometimes to read the comments.

For spoilers

At least, you are honest. But only using spoilers removes the fun, so try it first and discuss here the things you like/don't like.

The last part is really vague and weird. “It’s just because I don’t think that would be right to continue doing it and maybe this thinking of mine will change in the future, who knows?”

¿Wat? Why wouldn’t it be right to continue doing it?

Funny gag? or classic DPC foreshadowing? you be the judge! View attachment 2269804

Am I the only one who was mad at the overlapping lines?

 

[vogelbeest]

Eww what
When did she kiss Stephan?
And Cathy had sex with him MULTIPLE TIMES? what a shit friend.

That's all old news, most of that info comes from the scene with the fight between Jade and Stephan, the one when Jade throws a photo frame to Stephen, but there's some additional info in other scenes iirc...

Anyone knows what s that black box in MC desk? It s very weird.

We don't know, but it was in MC's room when it was still pretty much a battlefield and last episode Vinnie was looking for something in your room. My guess is he was looking for that box or better for what's in the box....
But for now it remains a mystery what is in the box.... MC did not manage to open it so far....

I remember the MC saying that the box came with the stuff from the hotel, so why would Vinny want that, doesn t make any sense.

Any Sarah fans out there?

Is there a Josy only path? Dont really want Maya involved

Any Sarah fans out there?

I like her personality, she's confident, flirty and honest. I also like her dynamic with her bff Mel. But to me she isn't as pretty as most other girls. I wish I weren't so shallow, but that's my truth, as Jill would say

 

[Takkatakka]

Well you can believe what you want but the hints are there and always were at least for the people who are on her good side and chose her path basically, she doesn't seem narcissistic at all, maybe an arrogant and much less a psychopath.

Just because you don't like her doesn't mean everyone shouldn't like her either lol, everyone is free to play the game however they want it.

She is literally written as a narcissistic psychopath. She potentially can change during the story, but as of the end of Ep. 9 she is a narcissistic psychopath.

She underestimates danger (her whole criminal "empire", including getting mugged). Manipulates and uses others for her own gain without remorse (pimping out her "friends"). She sees any show of feelings and affection as weakness and consequently suppresses her own (sitting with her on the bench, just as one of many examples). If her friends question her, she doesn't reflect about what they are saying, she immediately takes them down on a personal level (telling Riona that she will never finish college, even though she had no problems passing classes so far) and/or lies about them (Riona's alleged free-loading).

Just look at the costume competition in Ep. 9. Literally EVERY pick of hers is just to humiliate or mock someone.

All that has nothing to do with me liking or not liking her. She is probably one of the most interesting and best written characters in the whole game, but she is still an evil character and for most paths one of the antagonists of the MC....again AS OF EP. 9. And yes, her "path" might hint towards her changing a bit if the MC goes down that path.

Is there a Josy only path? Dont really want Maya involved

After this question is asked 1312nd times: no, there's no Josy path. Maybe there will be a chance to get her alone in the future but not now.

I recently did a slow playthrough of EP1~8 (nothing skipped but wasn't doing a Bella route), and I guess I must have still missed any mention of Stephen actually kissing Bella. The fight between Jade and Stephen at the start of EP3 definitely did not indicate a kiss though. The scene indicates that Stephen might have propositioned Bella for something, but he was definitely unsuccessful.

Was there another scene somewhere where Bella actually says she kissed Stephen? If there was, then I might have missed it. Bella's probably the only perspective I would trust in the matter and I doubt Bella would misremember a kiss (like a "Sandor kissed Sansa" situation).

 

[Ilhares]

They share a necklace. No way that isn’t Bianca’s mother.

Oh, no, full agreement on that point. Miranda is definitely her mother. I'm just debating on the Madame angle now. Is it Vivian, or did he really waste effort on an old hag for no good reason?

I like her personality, she's confident, flirty and honest. I also like her dynamic with her bff Mel. But to me she isn't as pretty as most other girls. I wish I weren't so shallow, but that's my truth, as Jill would say

This from somebody with Wanda as their profile image?

I'm in a similar boat, though. I enjoy Sarah's general personality, but the looks just don't draw me in. She looks like Sibel Kekilli to me, so while the porn was.. interesting, it still wasn't that good. When they landed her to play Shae on GoT I was extremely amused.

Mel, on the other hand, gets my mull approval. She's been down for pretty much everything, including the shower surprise MC can give her. How can you not love a care-free all-access kind of woman?

We never see it happening, there's the info from the Stephen/Jade fight and then i think when staying with Bella after Josy arrives, there's some more info from Bella's points of view... Iirc she regretted that kiss for the usual reason (James/guilt)
But like many hints DPC gives us, the devil is in the details... It's in conversations but it's easy enough to mis...

But there should be something like Bella saying to avoid social meetings (including alcohol) with the Burke's because of that kiss... (other hints Cathy is either with Jade or with Bella, outside of school Jade avoids Bella)

Staying with Bella also gives a conversation between MC and Jill ; strange that door is locked.... We learn there Jill knows the exact situation between Bella and James, however she tells MC "it's not her place to tell." (so whatever the theories are, it's clear Bella is free to pursue a relation with MC, otherwise Jill would have intervened in some way...)
