VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch.1 Ep.13 B7] [Braindrop]

[EclipseTheStars]

i have decided that posting MY RESPONSES upholds the agreement i gave to BD freely in our private messages, if you disagree with me, say so, just, don't set me on fire or anything :



^^^ this was my response when he unblocked me/apologized



^^^ this was my final response after he sent me a (2nd?) apology in the form of a book to read (not being insulting)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
​

this is what i'm comfortable sharing at this point in time ... MAYBE if Braindrop makes another "huge" offense to his fanbase ((let's not argue about what quantifies that right now)), i'll spill all the beans

whether i'm being manipulated or not, i just can't bring myself to do it at this time, i hear what some of you are saying, i've admitted you're probably right, but that doesn't change who i am, i can't just "turn it off" because you're right about it, if that makes sense

You don't have to share anything. I wasn't really expecting any agreement to an expression of sincerity in this thread. But I just wanted to voice my opinion.

I´ve been playing the last update, where Daliah tell´s MC about his father, and then it hit me, the similarities between MC´s father and BD, how strange...

 

[WhiteyG]

I know BD has absolutely no credibility in this thread—and for good reason—but I feel that his conversation with Katie comes off much more genuine than whatever he says in Discord or Patreon. Granted, we only have Katie's word to go off of, but I'm willing to actually give him the benefit of the doubt this one and only time. If it really is bullshit, then I look foolish for showing compassion and then get over my stupidity in like an hour. If I'm right, then this could be a sign of change on the horizon. Why else would he admit to keeping an eye on this thread, if he isn't going to do shit to try and change our opinions of him, since it apparently still matters to him.

I know people like him, who struggle to improve themselves but relapse again and again. They'll clean up their act for like a week at most before just falling back into their old habits. It both is and isn't their fault. Big difference is that they aren't getting paid in spite of their failures. But I would like to believe him this time. Credit where credit is due, his misguided attempt at 52/52 was working for a hot minute. It's not nothing. I'd like to see more of that progress.

Tell me to touch grass or call me a fucking dumbass if you want. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I've shit on him as much as anyone, but I'd like to see something good actually come out of this. Maybe this hits a little close to home in a minor way, but I'd rather be empathetic than a vitriolic coomer who thinks milky devs are scum.

I'm sure I'll a receive reasonable response to my gay little speech.

All evidence to the contrary. He is a milky scum until proven otherwise at this point. If he wanted some credibility he could stop hiding behind his Mods on discord and try answering questions honestly. Like how are you still working on an update that we were told was done almost a year ago? Where is the season one rework that was supposed to be released more then a year ago? Why are pledges not paused like he promised he would multiple times only to go back on his word?

He is a manipulative liar. Getting by on the naivety and decency of people who want to believe things will get better and people can change. I honestly find it hard to believe that this is even the same person who started developing this game. The only change that happened with him is once this became successful and he realized he wouldn't lose supporters as long as he played on peoples sympathy he stopped working.

The only reason I'm guessing Eclipse got a message was because he didn't want to lose someone who has been supporting his project from the beginning. How is allowing Eclipse to keep paying him not in his interest?

I see no change whatsoever. Change would be him owning up to his word and pausing pledges until the end of the year and refunding everyone for last month. Then coming clean about what he has and has not completed. You won't have to let me know when that happens because I'll be flying around on my pig.

I mean, MC's dad sounds like a legitimate piece of shit, and BD is just extremely unreliable, idk if they're that similar... plus Mason(?) has kids all over the fucking place, I doubt BD has that much game

two things here, if i may :

1.) i agree, regardless of the reason, he has not actually explained WHY/WHAT happened that there was never any full-releases since last (2023) summer - - something is being kept secret on purpose

2.) he was actually trying to refund every subscription i ever made to him, but patreon's algorithm or whatever it was stopped at a certain point, just saying for the record

you have a point, a moment of clarity does not guarantee change, he still has to earn it, i support that statement fully

this reply, is NOT incorrect

 

[Shadow74]

By similar I meant about both being addicts and broken people, bd is addict to the money and the lies/excuses, and is broken in his head, keeps going around and around in circles never getting anywhere.
If he is so stuck with the evolution of the story, he should turn back and do two things: remake the season one, and publish the uncensored version of dittlo harper, that last one would be super easy as he would only had to replace the censured images by the uncensored ones.

We're gonna change your name to Sherlock74.

Nah, there is only a Sherlock, and that would be Holmes

Okay let me put it this way then: Katie is one person. That's one single subscription, either a minimum of $1 or more likely $20 at max. If he lost that, it's just a drop in the bucket. Completely negligible. And all of this just being performative is an absolute waste of time, seeing how no one here takes him at his word anymore, and will just dismiss/mock him like you and everyone else is currently doing. He made one guy turn his head a bit, wow what an accomplishment.

It's fucking pointless to do all of this to hold onto one single subscriber, regardless of how long they've been paying him.

 

[duckydoodoo]

yeah, well a

I mean, MC's dad sounds like a legitimate piece of shit, and BD is just extremely unreliable, idk if they're that similar... plus Mason(?) has kids all over the fucking place, I doubt BD has that much game

kinda funny to say he doesnt have that much game considering his cult following

While I have no idea what you pledge, and it's none of my business. You're only one of more than three thousand. I highly doubt that offer was made to anyone else.

Listen I genuinely hope you and Spock are correct and this will lead to change. I didn't wind up in this thread because I wanted to talk shit about BD. This used to be one of my favorites. I thought he had a brilliant idea for a harem game. Unfortunately the game has jumped the shark and BD doesn't seem to have a plan other than to come up with excuses and milk as long as he can.

Touché! bd followers are his children

I won't speak for everyone here, but for myself.

I didn't tell you that you are being manipulated into doing something against BD or into telling us the details of your conversation with BD.

My intention is to make you see the situation you are in and make your decisions with knowledge of it.

It is a fact that BD is good at manipulating and influencing people, otherwise he wouldn't have such a solid fan base, yes, more like a cult but that is another topic. The point is that no one can have such a strong following without knowing how to manipulate and influence the emotions of others. This is not bad in itself, the problem is when you use it for your benefit, then we enter into a moral issue.

So, you see the effort that BD puts into "Apologizing and making you see his situation", and I admit it is a good effort BUT, if you sincerely believe that this effort is only for you, you are being naive, it is clear that BD knew that you would share this, if not with details, then you would make it known and thus influence others, especially in this forum, don't you think so?

You can doubt it but Better Cock Spock is a good example of going from not giving a cent for BD to giving him the opportunity once again, when he himself has been here long enough to understand that BD does not keep his word.

I will summarize everything in a simple sentence: "actions speak louder than words"

Let time tell us if BD was sincere or not, I personally predict without fear of being wrong that this does not change anything, he will continue with the same... why change if it works?

that's a fair assessment, the game started with jamie and shauna, and while "content" is always welcome, this game wasn't built like Summertime Saga where the goal is to just bang anything that walks

i fell a sense of direction and plot directive has been lost over time, BUT, for me personally, i'm here for 1 reason, and not many games have anything like this, so ... eh, i guess i'm biased, but i agree with you

 

[Shadow74]

You're only one of more than three thousand.

It´s not about the money payed by one subscriber, its about damage control.
Putting out a flame before it becomes a fire.
It´s not about the one subscriber, it´s about how the way bd treated that subscriber will negatively affect the other subscribers.
Better to appease the one subscriber today than having a riot in your hand tomorrow.

 

[Better Cock Spock]

Whole thing reminds me of this scene from Better Call Saul. Except Chuck (the thread) really doesn't have any love for Jimmy (BD).

no, i hear you, and you don't have to tell me twice, i been on this guy's butt since 2019 ...

stockholm syndrome? no, not exactly, but kind of

 

[Beefle]

How much time has passed since the beginning of the game till the latest update? It's only a few weeks, right? I can't get over how cringey the MC is when talking to/about Rachael. How are you gonna fall in love with some old granny you hardly even know? Getting her knocked up which in RL would be a fucking travesty, but stupid MC acts like it's the greatest thing to ever happen to him.

 

[shamtiiomi]

long story short, the post is gone, so i can't redirect to it

1.) i'm trans, so this very specific game hit a little harder for me originally
2.) i'm a deviant that DOES enjoy erotica
3.) touch grass several hours a day, i have 4 pets so i kind of have to even if i didn't want to

cheers

if you are a deviant for enjoying erotica,....what you leave for those that are real one's...and being a trans isnt a problem..like at all...your body your choice...if you are happy with them ,hopw in the end is all works for you...

this makes a lot of sense too
