and where would it have been hidden until now?
it seems complicated to me
there are already three brotherhoods that have had a fairly marginal role, just give them more space

I understand what you're saying, but my point wasn't about how it should be.
The fact is, in Europe 'maths' teacher is correct, in America 'math' teacher is correct. The game takes place in America, so 'math' is correct. That's not debatable. Opinions don't matter in this case... it's simply a difference between British English and American English, like 'tyre' and 'tire' or 'color' and 'colour'. Just like how there are differences in 'Spanish' between Spain and Mexico, the English language has changed in America and it's not exactly the same language here.
Either way, it doesn't really matter, as your cards are awesome as always.

As someone with degrees in Engineering and English (yeah, it's weird but I wanted to make sure at least half my classes had women in them...), I'd love to hear your explanation why you believe that to be the case... because my understanding (and frankly everything I can find on the subject) suggests that 'a pair of Xs' is absolutely correct (in the same way that 'a group of people' or 'a squad of soldiers' is correct). Unless, of course, you're referring to multiple pairs of Xs.
On the topic of language peeves: I will murder anyone who abuses 'literally'. You want to talk about the downfall of language in our society... that sums it up perfectly.

Not sure how popular it would be but I could easily see a Mass Effect 3 style switch to the Affinity system, where the first 2 games locked the player out of decisions based on their Paragon/Renegade points, heavily restricting roleplaying aspects (just like in BaDIK). Instead, in ME3 both Paragon and Renegade actions were accumulated into a global stat called Reputation. Par/Ren points were still counted separately and NPCs and companions reacted to the morality of your character same as before, but when it came to making a decision previously tied to these points, the system would now check the amount of overall Reputation and if that was sufficient enough, you could make either choice.
If BaDIK's system doesn't become less restrictive as well, eventually we might run into scenarios where a DIK/CHICK based decision has to be made regarding a character we really like but we're out of options. This would be especially dangerous for DIK MCs because these actions can be violent in nature and if I ever have to raise hands to Derek for example, because the "chill, bro" CHICK option is grayed out, I'm headbutting my monitor in true DIK fashion.

If MC has a threesome with Josy/Maya for the Scavenger Hunt, Sage's reaction if she's the second witness could have some interesting variations:
Non-Romanced Sage:
[Sage watches cell phone footage of the threesome dispassionately.]
Sage: Jeez, you three held nothing back, did you?
Romanced Sage:
[Sage watches the threesome with tears in her eyes.]
MC: You said you didn't care if I fucked others!
Sage: That was before I fell in love with you, you asshole!
[Sage runs away, sobbing.]
Or, if DPC gives you the option to remain fuck buddies with Sage and not pursue a relationship:
MC: Are you okay with this, you're not jealous are you?
[Smash cut to the night Sage skipped the DIKs party. She has a meeting with Tybalt and ends up fucking him to "seal the deal."]
Sage: Why would I be jealous?
Non-Romanced Sage:
[Sage watches cell phone footage of the threesome dispassionately.]
Sage: Jeez, you three held nothing back, did you?
Romanced Sage:
[Sage watches the threesome with tears in her eyes.]
MC: You said you didn't care if I fucked others!

I believe that in the end, if Mc is the third of the threesome, he will remain out of sight (likely Josy too) to carry on all the plots
however, it will remain as a looming danger on the relationship with Sage and the others

Deleted due to game breaking bugs. Since the android versions are created on a voluntary basis by kind hearted members of this forum you should patiently wait for the next release when they can, hopefully, put out a working version of v0.6.

I think what you've pointed out illustrates why the 'release a game a little bit at a time through Patreon' model just doesn't work with truly branching stories.I want my choices to matter, I want to know that, by choosing to behave in a manner that makes Sage like me I will lose the ability to make make Josy like me (or vice versa). If I don't have that then I'm playing Skyrim which, despite putting more than 400 hours into across different platforms, I always had a problem with precisely because none of the MC's major decisions carried any weight.
Skyrim at least has the excuse that, as a sandbox, it can make the story a small part of the overall game (I'd be shocked if the story represented 5% of the game); since BaD is a visual novel the story has to be king
*Almost because the 'Update Whens' are a whole different matter
Skyrim maybe isn't the best example for my explanation, but let's go with it. With a 'released when it was finished' game like Skyrim, the developers could take the time to put everything in the game and have it all ready for the player when they began playing. No matter what choice you make or path you take in the game, that content is finished and waiting for you.
With a game that's put out in pieces like BaDik (or 99% of other games on this site), the creators are faced with two choices if they want truly diverging paths based on actual choices... either they have absolutely massive updates that take a very long time to release (that get bigger and bigger and bigger as more of that divergent content appears in the game) or they release content patches that do not have content for all choices and paths (thus locking a chunk of players out of that content). Basically, imagine if the Derek-Sage-Bella choices in Chapter 4 were released as separate content updates in that order... if you had chosen Bella, you couldn't play the first two updates and you'd just have to wait while others played the new content. Either way, you end up with a bunch of very, very unhappy Patrons and players.
So, the only real option is, as others have mentioned, the illusion of choice... either by having all roads lead to the same 'big' moments and eventual ending (as BaDIK will almost certainly continue to do), or as was the case with AL, simply swapping which characters appear in the same scene based on which choices were made (meaning the hospital, locked room, and funeral scenes all happened basically the same way but who was with you in those scenes changed).
Again, I don't think this is the fault of DPC (especially since, as others have mentioned, he's just one guy doing all this stuff himself)... it's just the cold facts of the release model of Patreon games.

Just a theory thats around and can't be disproved for the moment. Personally I don't think its true.
I could definitely understand a Maths teacher, for example one instructor for algebra, geometry, physics, and calculus. All slightly different, but all math.Literally (loool) heading off topic, but it should be math (singular) here in the Uk also. It's basic correct English. Europe is unfortunately changing due to schools and colleges using Americanised English (ughm, the arguments with a Polish gf I once had). But yes, regardless of common literacy and what is taught (word used very lightly) in schools now, a plural of plurals is just...*shudders*. Again, though, it's now accepted and no one questions it (well, except maybe for assholes like myself lmao). A question I love to ask people (and amazing how many don't know) is what's the singular for a sheep?
Your examples while technically the same, are slightly different. I understand where this change has come from though, I just inherantly dislike it hehe
Not just small devs or even patroen problem. Mass Effect (I use as one of the biggest ever branching path AAA game series)...you still go here, go there....still end up at the same end sequence...that's the nature of storytelling. Sure you have as many 'endings' as you like...the story is finished. As for the actual story, its only ever small changes, otherwise, you'd end up writing 50 completely indicudual stories. They would never be finished. So take your Skyrim, little things may change, 85+ of the content, we all still saw/played regarldess of what other decisions we made.

c'mon flip...keep up. The old theory of the MC's mom being Jills father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate who once had relations with a future MC of Icstors which impregnated our mother!
