Images don't load for me, could you put your code and the errors in spoilers?

The labels start at the 4th tab, maybe that's what's causing the issue.

label start:
    define d = Character("dick")
    
    scene gail
    "hello cunts"
    menu:
        "what do you wanna do?"
        "eat shit":
            d "h"
    jump home
    
label home:
    d "h"

Try this and see if it works.

How indentation works is like the very first thing you should learn when coding in Ren'py. Seriously. Just take a look at the original code you used as example, then look at the solution provided and now look at what you had written at first. You can't just write your code wherever you want, there are rules to observe regarding those four-spacebar blanks. Basically, after each : sign, next lines should start 4 spaces to the right, until that "block" ends

Except that, as weird as his code is, I tried it at home, and it works without problems (Ren'py 7.4.4 and 7.4.8). I would add that there's no reason for it to not works. Therefore I guess that he used a version of Ren'py that is bugged (7.4.7 ?) ; there's many small issues during the port to Python 3.x

There's also the "problem" of the define that shouldn't be indented, nor put in a label.

" section of the documentation:
"Note that all the say statements are indented by four spaces. This is because they are a block underneath the label statement. In Ren'Py, blocks must be indented relative to the prior statement, and all of the statements in a block must be indented by the same amount. "
