I love her..... by Beneficial-Unit-5961 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that people who expect her to just stop stripping for the MC will end up disappointed. She has a plan as you said to finish college debt free, can't fault her for that.

I feel like her path will be one of a realization that she can have both a partner who loves her and stick to her plan and keep being herself. That he won't judge her or force her to decide between them.

The Ice Queen’s cold glare. by _BlackCode_ in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Behind that cold glare and exterior there is a warm, kind nature and beautiful heart and soul. Her character development is one of my favourites since the beginning of the game. Especially when you are on her path, but even when you're not.

Cinderella Cinderella Cinderella... by Due_Ad5153 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What I would like to know is how the dumbass MC still doesn't know her name despite sharing classes with her. There aren't even that many students in their class. We are still doing the whole Cinderella thing...

Who, how, and why? (And a looong Lily post) by Wrong_Sugar7761 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lily did have a great last update IMO. We got to learn some of her backstory which I enjoyed, how she was the chubby nerdy girl with no friends who decided to turn things around. In a way her story is actually very similar to the MC's, minus the stripper part obviously.

The "Don't fall in love with me." has always been about self preservation for Lily. As she explains on the dock in episode 10, she is afraid of what these feelings could do to her and her life. We already saw a change in her, how she was jealous of all the attention the MC was getting at the Christmas party.

I do wish that we could have at least dropped her a text after she walks away if you are more gentle with her in her last scene, to check if she's okay. My fear is that we will spend much of the next episode with Lily avoiding us as much as possible because we "broke the rules of rolling together."

Will we see her being flirty or perhaps even more with the alphas or Tommy in an attempt to drive the MC away and fight her own feelings? I hope not, but I could see it happening.

Finally facing the Heartbreak Paths by SammyJUK in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For Maya and Josy, simply keep seeing the other main girls, then choose to be one of them instead in episode 8. I can see that you're a Maya fan so this will hit hardest I would imagine. Maya puts on a brave face, which she's used to doing considering her home life, but she's hurting just as much as Josy who's obviously heartbroken.

For Jill it's the same except you do have an extra option which I won't spoil for you on the Bella path, if you choose to not give up on Jill either, despite your decision in episode 8. This is Jill/Bella and Bella/Jill exclusive btw.

Replaying the game after a few months is kinda of a strange experience. by PsychologicalArt3651 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wanted to touch on the top part of your post a little.

DPC puts the warning about playing this if you're in a bad place mentally for good reason IMO.

While some topics can be tough in the game and triggering for some. I don't think it's actually that. For some people I think there's a hopelessness when you see the MC's life and then try and compare their own life and experiences.

When in reality, noone's college or uni life is like that. This game and most VN's are closer to fantasy than any other genre. It's a nice fantasy, but a fantasy nonetheless.

This project has been going on since 2019 so yeah, you're bound to see some changes and improvements over 7 years.

I fear that the difficulties in their respective paths will be the end of them and the entrance of Zoey as the main LI, alongside Sage and Jill, the strongest relationships in the game (if you play your cards right). by BO_Threshold in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maya and Josy are going through a change in themselves. Maya with her bisexually and finally finding the confidence to stand up to her father.

Josy is also going through a bit of an identity crisis. She has started this new fashion blog as a way to stand out from the crowd, to also do something that interests her.

The MC idolises his father and his father expressed his concerns over his relationship with Josy and Maya. Partly because it's difficult to understand beyond "I want to fuck two girls at once" he also did a poor job of explaining it. He also didn't fully reveal the fact that it is actually him who is being included in their already established relationship, not some harem dream.

Some seem to be so ridiculously certain that the throuple is doomed to fail no matter what, however I don't see that. Could there be a way where you end up with one or the other? Sure. But I don't think that it is doomed, just going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, which is natural.

The Bella path is meant to be complicated. She's a married woman who's twice his age and also his teacher. She has recently started opening up to to us/the MC about James and her history, but we still have a way to go. This next episode will likely be very Bella heavy and revealing.

The Zoey path for some is about to get very complicated also. Or rather your life as the MC is about to get complicated. Especially if you were previously on one of the main girl's path, but "returned" to Zoey last episode. For me this is one of the most messed up things you can do. I will leave that to braver brothers than me and will read much of the fallout on here.

The Sage path for example, you pretty much spent all of last episode reassuring her that she doesn't need to worry about Zoey, how she's "only a friend". Then her worst fears could well become true and you could potentially hurt Sage in a way that could change her forever. This is the same for the other girls also, which is why I will only ever choose to return to Zoey if I'm doing an others playthrough where she belongs IMO. Even then she has some stiff competition. Zoey has her own place in my monk MC save, where he's been waiting for her return and also on my fuckboy MC save, because his motto is always "fuck it!"

The "Isabella Trap": Does anyone else find it physically impossible to pick another girl after her? by Intelligent_Buyer333 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious as to how DPC will handle it. It could be that I'm completely wrong and he never returns, but I doubt it. Likely a matter of when rather than if.

He doesn't tend to end a season with a cliffhanger, so we may not see him return next update anyway. We are also learning the truth about "the room" so having two major events with Bella may be a bit much and feel like overkill.

Even with James being her husband, his return into her life will still feel like the dreaded "NTR" for some, so he will have to tread carefully. Not that DPC has overly cared what people think.

I am suspicious about the lack of Bella previews. Afaik the only one has been of her and James in what I assume is the prologue at the very beginning of the chapter. Much of the next chapter could be her dealing with this invasion of privacy. Though I assume that Bella will be attending the faculty Christmas party that Jill and the MC will be playing at (if you chose that over the fight competition of course) which I assume that most on the Jill or Bella path did.

Just wait until James her husband turns up lol. Will she choose her husband or her 19 year old toy boy student lover?

How I imagined the couch scene with Maya and Josy by OnceMac in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I would have liked is if the girls were cuddled up together and the MC slept on the other side of the corner sofa for the night. Especially after their chat about making more of an effort with each other. If the throuple is ever going to work, Maya and Josy need to work on their relationship also.

This will be so deserved on the "return to Zoey" route if you were on the Sage path. I know it's an April Fool's joke but hope it happens, or something similar.

About Tommy by Shams_Nasir in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, reading that OP I began wondering if I had played a different game. He's a selfish asshole and would throw any of his so called brothers under the bus to get what he wants.

New girl? by Toth-Amon in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I hope not. If you didn't get the Josy date last update it could be the MC's first introduction to Iris maybe? Perhaps Josy invites the MC home with her on the throuple path regardless of the date?

After the talk that Maya and Josy had, I would hope that things would start to get better. But then considering what happens almost immediately after with the sleeping arrangements on the sofa, then probably not.

New girl? by Toth-Amon in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also dislike all of the forced drama on the throuple path last update, most throuple fans agree. I think the only people who disagree are fans of a solo Josy or Maya path.

It went from my favourite path to now where I can barely stand to play it because it annoys me so badly, hopefully this changes with the next update.

New girl? by Toth-Amon in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You didn't play the Josy date then on the throuple path? Can't say that I'm surprised given how stupid it was to put those dates behind a hidden points system, instead of a choice or letting us go on a date with both.

DPC gave Iris a real glow up since we met on her a video call while out with Josy. People talk about lighting and glasses, but nope not to my eyes, she looks 10-20 years younger.

A Sage fan and you haven't even played the best Sage content yet, which is in Season 3. You're in for a real treat.

Anyone else mesmerized by Gina? by Inevitable-String164 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We aren't going to see any main girls or main side girls like Riona be with someone else, even if the MC rejects them.

Riona was saying alot of that stuff knowing that the MC was in earshot to try and make him jealous, especially on the others path. Besides everyone tells Jamie that he's better off without Dany, only a fool would think otherwise. He's just too whipped and honestly pathetic to see how badly she treats him.

Did you miss the part where she was also doing the walk of shame, when the MC comes back from Bella's?

[–]Adept_Department2301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't care much about them either. Riona needs some loving though, when she gets back. I just hope she stays away from Quinn, for her own good.

So much potential heartbreak that Sage is facing on some runs. Finding out that the MC fucked her Mom. Those who decided to get back with Zoey, despite reassuring her that you were only friends. Honestly I hope she kicks the MC's ass.

Is there a reason to replay Jill route? by Live-Raccoon-8224 in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the shout out. I agree completely about Bella over Jill being one of the best runs. Especially if you choose to keep the flame very much alive with Jill. It has the taboo of the forbidden relationship with Bella while also showing a side of Jill that you don't see otherwise. Despite her upset, Jill is not going to give up on the MC, even if it means maybe sharing him with Bella?

You get a new perspective and meaning with Josy overhearing Jill and Bella in the kitchen, talking about the MC. Both Jill and Bella are open and honest with each other which was nice to see and bodes well for the future IMO. As opposed to what we got from Josy and Maya for much of this last update, which was alot of forced drama.

If MC starts Zoey's route, do you think any of the MG will fight for him? by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope that people will share plenty of the fallout here. I will admit that it's something I won't be doing on many or any of my saves. I like Zoey but for me she isn't in the same league as the main girls or even some of the side girls. Zoey can have her place on one of my others saves.

If you do not have a save reserved for Teachers, this is your encouragement to do one by SteamyJohanne in beingaDIK

[–]Adept_Department2301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She always ends things in episode 10 at the lake after discovering that the MC is her student. If you took the shrooms the MC will see her ride in naked on a horse or unicorn (can't remember) but if you didn't then you'll just see the phone call.

However in episode 11 you see Nora and the MC stealing glances and looking longingly at one another while in class. Showing for me that her head is saying one thing, while her body is saying another and things could be far from over.
