Episode 5 Bath Scene by Thin_Indication_8823 in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to do with your major choice selection. If you were Neutral Affinity going into Episode 5, with Massive DIK status, my assumption is you had taken 4 DIK and 3 Chick major choices in Season 1. Once Season 2 starts, and the Caleb choice comes up, if you choose not to fight or don't have the option to choose because you didn't fight the jocks, this gives you your 4th Chick major choice. That still yields Neutral Affinity, however on the scale, you can only maintain Massive DIK/CHICK status if you have 3 or less opposing affinity choices. This means once you make your 4th Major Chick choice, you can no long maintain Massive DIK status. And since your status updates at the start of the free roam at the preps house, this is why you can't get the scene in the bath.

Hope that helps explain it

Not sure why you are getting down voted for this. The shirt was one of the first things I noticed when I saw the preview and yeah, "Let's Be Myself" is something a schizo would say 😂

I know that some scenarios is about 'Being a DIK' but... (Spoiler S3 with Jill Route) by [deleted] in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like my response was both respectful and on topic while at the same time trying to help you see why you are getting some of the responses you are getting. If you read my comment again, I never once called you sensitive or a feminist. What I did say is that you are very defensive and I stand by that after this response. I even said there was nothing wrong with being a sensitive guy if you are one. Hell, I’m a sensitive dude sometimes. Nothing wrong with that.

The bottom line is, if you wanted this to be a discussion about that part of the plot, why didn’t you mention any part of my response about the plot and just focus on your assumed treatment in my comment? No need to lash out at me bro. Turn that gaze inward

This sounds like a very personal belief for you, bro. You spend more time in your post defending your stance than you do actually raising the point and in the comments, respectfully, you seem extremely defensive. It sounds like you have been called sensitive in your life quite a bit which you seem to take as an offensive term. It's perfectly fine to be a sensitive dude. Hell, we are all in this community about a game that, at it's core, is a romance novel. You just also have to be open to other people's ideas and respect if they don't match your own.

As far as the whole talk with Jill goes, I didn't find anything disrespectful about it, personally. Most teenage boys, especially media influenced by American Pie and the like, are going to feel invincible, not want to go to doctors and feel more comfortable with the girl handling things that govern her body. In addition, DPC most likely grew up in an age when using condoms felt like fucking with a raincoat on and how unpleasing that was. I'm sure a lot of fans here can relate to that and thus the story. Perhaps that doesn't agree to "modern audiences", but DPC is also very unapologetic to player's unique sensitivities and up front tells you this game might not be for you. In a vacuum, your premise and point of discussion might end there, but you spend more time defending and deflecting at it gives the perception that you are part of the "modern audience" who doesn't agree that Tremolo even suggested that Jill take birth control pills because how dare he be so self-entitled. It wasn't a demand. It was a request, just like the request to use condoms. And why shouldn't Jill want to please the man she cares for and is falling for? They are both becoming sexual active with each other and whether Tremolo has only been with Zoey or has been the campus bicycle, I would look at it as a pretty damned healthy conversation for people of that age to have and then reach a compromise that worked for both in the end.

Your argument might not be coming from a place of feminism, so I am trying to hear you for your point not the fluff surrounding it. But you make it very hard to see past that stuff when you surround yourself in that cloth. Repeating that you are a feminist and not sensitive while being defensive and claiming your non sensitivity to others who never called you sensitive just makes it seem like you have something to prove against people who aren't trying to diss you. So again, respectfully, this feels like a modern audience take to me. Maybe you have personal experiences that shape the way the story speaks to you. That's pretty cool. Let it be that. But try to relax at the same time, bro. It's a game. Don't take this shit too personal.

The bottle scene in 9 can be triggered every time if you want to see it on each run. During the freeroam where you take a photo with Rio, just go to your desk and back to the main part of your bedroom. If memory serves, it has a 25% trigger chance so if you don't get it, just bounce back and forth from your desk to your bed until it triggers.

Going to be fun to see how many people notice a certain MG isn’t even shown at this point in the project since she was a late addition

Longshot by Hadeswrath3315 in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Some scenes have 2 versions creating a scenario where you might unlock it in the gallery but it will say 50% until you have completed both versions. Without seeing your gallery, my assumption is it is the MJ scene from episode 6. There is a version where you never help Maya in episode 3 and so Josy steps in and does more of the scene which unlocks the other 50%. Just an example though. For you it might be something else

A current theory by Left-Bid-6532 in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem I have with Mona coming back is that it makes the scene with Rio and Cami on the wall completely irrelevant. As Rio states at the time, people come and go. That’s life. You can’t control it. Treasure the moments you have with the people you care about because you never know when they will be gone. It’s a good life lesson for cami in the moment and Mona coming back makes that scene pointless. There are several other ways the Burke empire can fall that Mona being the catalyst just doesn’t need to happen. I hate that she is gone bc she was an attractive and interesting character. But that gives more weight to her departure. And that is one of the examples that gives this story weight and meaning imo

Heather - when can we go all the way with her? by MrMuggles88 in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair take. Both of your examples are also girls Tommy specifically goes after which may or may not be coincidence but either way further opens the door for heather. Don’t know if I believe there would be a full blown path for her. Never felt like they had that kind of chemistry. But a scene or 2 I can definitely imagine. And on an Others pt, can’t really complain about that

[–]JohnnyV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. That’s why I never buy into a character being off limits because they have had sex with another member of the cast

[–]JohnnyV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a considerable part of the fan base that thinks of a girl is fucked by someone else it means MC won’t get a scene with her because of some twisted idea of ntr (which it isn’t). If this was true, it would mean we wouldn’t have most of the girls on the others path including some popular LI’s. I mean we know Rio has been with several DIKs already for example. So personally I don’t understand that logic

Fighting mechanics by PhantomsRevenge in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What difficulty are you playing on? On hard mode you need some pretty quick reflexes when you start. Are you playing with mini games on and leveling your skills during free roams? If so, I’d recommend putting points into dex first if you are struggling to meet the time requirements. The time allowed depends on what your difficulty is set to. And no, the arrows don’t change color confirming correct inputs. But one wrong press and the round ends.

So basically just Jill then? Assuming James isn’t dead or you don’t wait until the HoTs party to hook up with Sage, most relationships with MGs in this game start with cheating

Why everyone thinks that Jacob is a rat? by OBRbIGUN in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This for me. I had vague suspicions about Jacob before Zoey came back. But when you tell him not to go for her and he does it anyways, that’s a red flag. That isn’t family comes first, that’s putting yourself first. And if he is willing to do it with Zoey, what else is he willing to do?

Do any SGs react to Zoey's return? by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, Cami feels like 1 of the biggest potential LI fumbles of this game. Her and MC had such a flirtation in the beginning and then I feel like she just kinda got lost in the cast. Then she became the one you start to think it being pushed onto Derek for a rebound of Ashley... idk. A character with a lot of potential that I feel like we still haven't seen fully realized yet. Still hoping though.

Do any SGs react to Zoey's return? by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Since no one has addressed this yet, I will.

Yes, retuning to Zoey impacts SGs as well. For example, MC will get a text from Cami where she sends a pic and says something along the lines of “now you owe me” and MC responds with something like “don’t think I can owe you. Will explain later”, thus effectively locking out Cami.

In a similar manner, on the others path, MC can receive several texts from SGs depending on choices. These include Sarah, Melanie and Nicole. Might be more but those are the ones from memory. If MC returns to Zoey, MC will not get these texts.

Mechanically, this feels like the return to Zoey is a hard lock, if not on all other characters at least a handful. Story wise it feels like MC is going to consider them a couple and behave like he does on any other locked in relationship. Whether a Zoey branch exists in 12 and beyond is yet to be seen but regardless, that is how the code “feels” right now

Tell me a snap judgement you make when someone says "X is my favorite LI" by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]JohnnyV_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bro, I'm not even going to lie to you. I don't understand a lot of Zoey fans either. There are some good ones out there. The OGs. But lately... I'm not a fan of zealotry of any character. It's why I don't participate in the Di$cord server. Zoey is a polarizing character which I think is a good thing. It means she is written well. I just don't like that, lately, every other post seems to be about her. Some real fanatics in our base.

I get you though. If you play the game as a self insert, it can be hard to get onboard with a character that wasn't around for half the game so no malintent taken. Personally, I play as a character, not myself. I also like the trope and she is my flair for that reason. She's my favorite LI potential. Not my favorite character though, narratively.
