VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Jimayo]

We're talking about time travel now.

Hey, screw you. I love time travel. Time travel is the reason why I've studied temporal mechanics and astrophysics(black holes and worm holes specifically).

 

[ename144]

Well, I figured, if I'm going to proselytize, might as well go full retard. I imagine I'm up for another 2 week ban from the thread now, though.

Nah, I don't think she'll die. She's going to hit rock bottom, but I think the most appropriate outcome for Quinn is seeing everything she built burn down and having to deal with the consequences of her actions (a big reason why I think the one to die will be Riona via the 8ball). She's probably going to end up alone in jail, full of regret and pain.

I wonder just how much Quinn actually built? I'd speculated a long time ago that maybe Quinn inherited her empire from someone else, and since then we've learned that Quinn had close dealings with Vinny and that Vinny knows about Riona's work for Quinn. Is it possible he's the one who set up the drug/prostitution ring initially and Quinn took over after Vinny left? It would certainly explain why she's so so eager to expand despite being absolutely incapable of managing the job as it currently stands.

None of which means that Quinn isn't do for a hard reality check, and Riona would certainly be a good candidate for that. But I don't see Riona using the coke; she already has a drug of choice and it's quite different. I'm also very skeptical Riona would rifle through Quinn's room looking for a hit; I'm pretty sure Quinn's story to Tommy in Episode 5 was a complete lie in an effort to justify her ditching the DIKs (with Quinn's usual success rate).

I think it's more likely Riona will be targeted by whoever mugged Quinn, and the danger of the 8ball will be that Quinn might turn to it when she's finally alone in her darkest hour. Hopefully the Riona will survive her ordeal, and ideally the MC can finally get through to Quinn before she does even more damage to herself or others.

This really is the ultimate fantasy.

You go forward to a time when the game is completed, then come back to the present play all paths through to end, cry, spend a couple weeks dealing with the emotional trauma of the endings or seek therapy to help you through it, then when that's done and you're in a better place, you come to this thread and start "predicting" how everything will go.


Obviously would pick up the winning lottery numbers too, but getting these games when they're finished is also a fun prospect.

It sounds like a great idea, but what do you do when you finish the game? If you travel back to the present, sure, you can troll the forums for a few weeks, but it will be half a decade before you can actually discuss the meat of the game for real. Who wants to wait that long?

So you travel back into the future where you can discuss the game properly, but then you keep getting distracted by everyone casually referencing all things that happened in the world since you skipped forward. So then you travel back in time again and start spoilering the game just to accelerate discussion.

Naturally, this causes a butterfly effect that winds up altering the way the game was written in the first place. Next thing you know it's paradox city. And just like any interference in WW2 always results in Stupid Jetpack Hitler winning the war, somehow the end result of your meddling is that not only is BaDIK now a prequel to to Acting Lessons again, but it turns out Leah went to B&R too...

So let's just stick to lottery numbers, okay?

It wasn't mine either. Give it time sir, F95 will ruin you too.

Honestly, I think F95 has actually made me less tolerant of incest. I used to find it mildly squicky in most cases. But after slogging through so many games that absolutely insist on cramming incest (or 'amusing' near-misses) in at every opportunity, I now find it infuriatingly banal and lazy as well. Go figure.

Wow, way to totally decimate a guy's fantasy!

 

[D2M3]

If the best thing we can think to do with time travel is using it to play completed porn game in the future, maybe it is we who need to check our priorities.

To be fair, due to how quantum mechanics is supposed to work, any time travel we do to learn the ending will probably influence the past, creating a divergent timeline and effectively render the action in the first place useless.

So.... Might as well use time travel to do that. Anything more drastic will result in a catastrophic divergence.

Obvious note: Physics bachelor of science.

 

[D2M3]

i tried that once and got stuck on the event horizon!

the 1st to understand the joke gets love and the one who understands the rl reference gets a heart!

I'm a physics graduate, and all I can surmise from that is you're making a photon joke?

 

[Canto Forte]

Be the one ... to save them all .. make it your mission, you strive to stay with every babe, talk with her, get your feel for her, listen to her worries, give her feedback, encourage her pursuit of a better tomorrow, this way you increase the chanses of another meeting with her and build good emotions.

 

[D2M3]

More than that, potentially. Ep 7 might push the game to around 14GB, which means that with 7 more chapters like this it could be around 35GB by Ep 14. A total of 20 episodes would likely have the game around 53GB or more if all remaining episodes are at least 3GB each.

Compared to most mainstream games these days.... 35 GB is still very moderate.

Yes, I'm f....g looking at you Cold War. Jesus Christ, have you heard of data compression, ever?

 

[Canto Forte]

This is one great adventure .. with everyone so bored lately, especially babes, could work.
Bring your beau along, go make a future 4 yourselves.

Do not procrastinate any further ... atom bomb enthusiastic developers did not stop.
Why should you?

 

[drakken]

I'm pretty sure Quinn's story to Tommy in Episode 5 was a complete lie in an effort to justify her ditching the DIKs (with Quinn's usual success rate).

idk if it was a complete lie. seems like she was getting desperate so she could make up the money she was short, that she owed her people. (last thing u wanna do if fuck over a dealer).

None of which means that Quinn isn't do for a hard reality check

especially considering dipping into shooting up. smoking is one thing but thats another, along with the string of fucking up and over those closest to her. maybe this will be what causes her to finally open up to mc, because every time she starts to, she realizes it and clamps up. turns back into the "im a tough, sarcastic bad bitch with no feelings".

You might be on to something since getting mugged clearly wasn't enough of wake up call for Quinn. That 8ball of coke is an obvious Chekhov's gun.

 

[Canto Forte]

Mugged and stalked sure does not make usual people anywhere move out ... why should Quinn?
Most dangeroulsy, she is talking like family to the dealer and his possy, talk about abuse prone.

This may sound stupid, but as a refresher, on what days are the Gender Studies classes?

To be fair, getting mugged is really just part of the crime game. You don't give up at that point. You work around it, and you get revenge.

 

[maver!ck]

one of the best games i've played so far. still waiting for the next update.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I would take that for granted
the reason why Quinn has that coke is explained from beginning to end, followed step by step, it must surely have some development.

for now, that is, not having really many elements, I still see as more likely that it is used, or ends up, to frame someone, after having put it at the right time in the room, in the pockets or in the desk of someone

 

[thymen]

I really love this game. Especially jill, now I’m wondering. What is your favorite wallpaper of jill?

Could have something to do with Lilly. She's already positioning herself as a threat to Quinns games.

if Lily actually becomes a threat, right now she's an annoyance to Quinn at best.

In the scenario where word starts to spread that BR has a lot of drugs in it, it's enough to wait for the first inspections to get any student, but also a professor, into trouble.

On first glance - this could happen when you are starting from a previous save then try to roll back - yet in the mean time installed some mod.

It will help if you post the complete error msg.

(Btw I do have the mod installed) THank you so much!

I am bored to death, so i conducted a little PS experiment on 3 test subjects (Riona and Jill used to featured here, but i kicked them out )
If this post receive a positive feedback, i'll consider doing it for rest of the girls as well

To my signatures post : https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-v0-6-1-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-5320264

Quinn : "Because this post receives a lot of positive feedback, Bloody decided why the hell not and do other girls as well. So, click the link above"

I have too much free time, to even try and edit this
