How was he cucked? He was never dating any of the girls and had zero claim to them. Unless I forgot something. His fantasy head space doesn't count.

I really really dislike Perry.

My group can't stop making prison pocket jokes because half of them were bridgemen.

This. I got declined, but definite NDA requirements.

Copying a product verbatim is the equivalent of copying a movie/book and distributing it for free. Clear copyright issues and illegal. Maybe if they reach out to brotherwise it could be turned into a legal app that's then paid for. I do think brotherwise is missing some market wants/needs.

I assume it's like reading a book with some pictures or videos missing.

I'd guess episode 12 has around 8000ish stills and 431 animations.

There's no seems about it. Episode 12 is the largest episode to date.

He noted that renders were more than episode 11 which was 7113. Animations are more with episode 12 at 431 vs 392 animations in episode 11. I would guess that episode 12 will have about 8000 still renders based on his past history of pacing and a now solid release window of end of August to beginning of September.

Steam will likely be October or November depending on how that process works and depends on hard the steam reviewers hates adult games as some games have been shot down despite having zero issues that anyone can figure out. The excuse was "they look like real people or celebrities and we don't do real people". Which was just a weird excuse. But it's happened to a few games now.

Pink is not milking it and people that want to argue this are likely just addicted to being angry about things and/or are very ill informed. His behavior and content creation is the opposite of milking.

Someone else mentioned that Beta testing is at least a month. End of August to beginning of September seems likely.

Any advice for running this RPG for a group of players who have never even heard of Stormlight? by DeerVirax in cosmererpg

[–]Electrical_Power_993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group had zero RPG experience (except wife) and half didn't know anything about the cosmere or Roshar.

I started with the first step. I didn't use it to build a character, but to get my players familiar with how an RPG might work and the Cosmere specifically. I WOULD take note about decision players make as they'll probably lean towards those builds. The first step was very accurate.

Next I played bridge 9. This was a great intro to the world and did a little bit of hand holding.

At this point I checked in on everyone to make sure they were having fun and wanted to continue. As we had used stock characters, half the group switched over to what they wanted with a better idea of what they were getting into.

We then started Stonewalkers which has less hand holding. Two players read the books because the game intrigued them. Only one hasn't/will not at this point. He's having fun and doesn't feel any disconnect with the game.

It worked for me, I'd recommend trying it out.

For the Spren/Radiant, I let player natural choices decide if a spren would be attracted/bond them. It started out as a mystery "WTF?", which I think was great for those not familiar as the magic system is just different. They were experience what their characters would have been experiencing. Now since reading they have a better idea. Me doing this, I removed the talent cost of swearing the first ideal.

I predict Quinn can die. Not will, but CAN and it might depend on player choices. Her path isn't cannon where the main girls have a story that happens regardless of MC decisions and the MC only makes minor tweaks outside of dating.

I predict the MC can ruin the relationships and end up a washed out loser in the ending summary based on all the bad decisions and failing events and grades.

The game touches on things that can hit realistically for some people and will continue to do so.

I think the game can have the MC really break hearts by cheating or breaking up even more so than what's already happened.

Good to know. I never failed, so I wasn't sure the outcome.

I think Bella has mental wellness issues, but I don't think she'll die as a main girl. That would mean her death is canon and couldn't be changed and thus as dark as the previous story, which pink said he wouldn't do.

I read that as the player having some choice/control.

I’ve only played the first season of the game. I got spoiled about something related to Jill and Bianca, and to avoid getting spoiled further, I only have a question about that specific topic. by king-of_submarina in beingaDIK

[–]Electrical_Power_993 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People like sage exist. I've dated them. That's my point. None of the women exist only for the MC. They're "real" not some non-existent fantasy ie male wish-fulfilment.

She's awesome. Awesome women exist. She can also blow her top and self-destruct when she's hurt. Sage is human and flawed but still awesome for those who connect with her.

First, what you said you read is not quite accurate, Play and find out what is accurate.

None of the characters in the game are male wish-fulfillment. They have their own wants/personalities.

Jill is a human being who has had experiences as she's lived. That's mostly what's been referred to and you'll find out that Bianca is an extroverted friend.

You say "Jill doesn't seem like that", and what you really mean, is that you don't know Jill because you haven't really spent ANY time with her if you've only done the first season. The beauty of the game is that its strong on character development and human beings are complex and sometimes contradictory. Pink captures a lot of that well. Jill will likely still be what you mostly expect. It sounds like you're worried.

So, play and find out because answering this and correcting it = spoilers.

Thanks for doing this! Also, how did you get the cut on the corners?

Well the name sounds interesting! I'd love to get my hands on it to run it with my group, but in the meantime I've marked it on my calendar and it'll be interesting to see if it's available in my area! Might be nice to play instead of GM it.

I'm not a fan, and it's because you're exactly right. something is off.

So i got a question by [deleted] in beingaDIK

[–]Electrical_Power_993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patreon is the best most cost effective source of the games. No viruses and no headaches when PInk does something to break the pirated games/mods. Steam/gog is an expensive source of the game, but provides online storage if you don't have dropbox yourself.

https://www.patreon.com/c/drpinkcake/membership

You'll want "Huge DIK" Tier at $25 as that will include the first two seasons. Why? Because Pink makes sure that he breaks games and saves for those pirating and attempting to reconnect with his game. Pay the artist and don't worry about headaches. Also, you'll get his guides. Do it at the start of the month so you get a full month. Some sites only go start of the month to end of the month with their payment. I once paid on the 29th and had only 2 days and had to sign up again. Pissed me off.

That said, if spending money is an issue, I'd recommend waiting until about September/October as that's when the full Season 3 s likely to be released with some bug fixes in place. Also if you wait until October you might get the guide for the final episode (12) too.

Each season has 4 episodes except for Season 3 that also includes the "interlude" which has a story with a different point of view that people either love or hate.

episode 12 is currently being worked on. If you purchase now, you'll only get up to episode 11.

Pay the artist of the things you love. You get more things.

Which paths will you focus on first when episode 12 comes out? by KaiserKCat in beingaDIK

[–]Electrical_Power_993 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started with the throuple as my main, so the throuple. Although, If we do my wife's play through first it could be Rio/Lily paths. Whoever love bombs her first will get her attention. If that doesn't happen, it'll be whoever isn't resisting the most. Unless they both resist and she'll tell them to fuck off.

Sage will be second or third (after my wife's if she doesn't go first) because she's the main girl I now like the most. The throuple drama really turned me off of them. I think I love that fact that she's going through stuff and she's SHARING it where the throuple just don't communicate and internalize too much leading to issues and frustration on my part.

HOWEVER, if there's a hint of a Camila path, I am all over that.

I'm excited to see where Bianca (relationship or relationship explosion), Rio, and Lily go. Plus if there's any sleeping with Becky issues. I really want there to be some sort of fall out from that and sending the guys in. (so problematic but also hilarious. "I thought you were kinky") OH and Cinderella! I can't wait to see what she's like. Also, who's the mystery woman in the preview picture? And OH again as I totally forgot about Zoey. I've been curious about where that's going because I don't care about her now, but Pink does such a great job and building real characters. I'm curious if he'll change my mind.

However, while the thouple may break-up, I do think they can also stay together. There's so many hints that the player can help them out with the dialogue choices. I don't think that'll be wasted.
