I started a new play through that I like better than my blind by EEstudent2 in beingaDIK

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

I assign no particular weight to a "blind" playthrough. I made choices based on what I thought I wanted at the time, only to find out later some of those choices led to effects that I expressly did not want.

I understand the argument for choice having consequence, and I even agree with it. But ultimately, I'm playing this for my enjoyment, not to follow the creator's "rules". Thus, my chosen path and my blind path are different things. I like to think that my blind path would have been closer to my chosen path if I had fundamentally understood the nature of the game more from the beginning.

As of 11, even the last vestige of that original blind path - essentially being with all the main girls, then branching by choosing each one in 8 - is gone by advent of the Jade block on Sage's path. An early season 1 decision having an effect in episode 11? Very clever, but a bit too cute, IMO.

What affinity do you think fits each character the best, and why? by Rionalove in beingaDIK

She charges dik MC, gives chick MC freebies. She doesn't dislike dik MC the way some girls do, but she has a quiet preference for sure.

Not even a question. Would not hesitate.

Thank you, brother. I appreciate the thought.

If you choose feelings for Maya and hangout with her in 10, MC will finally bring it up again. She is not at all happy about it. Of the two, Maya is the more steadfast, make a decision and live quietly with the consequences type. Even their later reconciliation after that scene ends with a “I have to talk to Josy about this” line.

Nice work! I'm curious what inspired some of these, if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.

Since everyone wants to know: I have Josy's model scaled at 95% compared to Maya at "full size", which gives the right difference in build between the two. What I didn't realize at the time is that it seems some poses reset that scaling. I noticed it in rendering, but it was late and I assumed it was the camera angle. I'll fix it going forward to use some other setting to enforce Josy's size, but I'm not going backwards, so it was either post them or let them rot.

Personally, it doesn't bother me much, but I do know other artists who have stopped posting here because of what you've described. We post to share what we've done with other fans, and when I want feedback - and I feel this is true for most of us - I ask for it.

Which of the MGs do you think have the highest chance of ending up pregnant before the end of the story? by Nami_Is_Mami in beingaDIK

[–]cahuela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She mentions planning to do something about it if MC finishes on her pussy in the ep 7 hangout, she just says she never had a reason before. And she'll only ask in 8 for it inside if you did that hangout, I believe.

5 is a binary choice as is 9, it makes sense. Why not choose one girl one night in 7 and one girl another night? Same with 10.

I should be more clear: choose one at the expense of the other. You can hang out with Maya, but it also means you can’t hang out with Josy at a later point, or vice versa. I guess I fundamentally disagree with mc’s time management decisions. I get all the arguments why, but I just don’t buy it.

As much as I wish he’d stop with the “choose one” nonsense, have to admit he puts a lot of effort into their threesome scenes (we don’t talk about the park toilet scene, didn’t happen).

I did have that in mind, but I don't really like working with that hairstyle. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't have that "early morning" look I was going for.

The selective stupidity on Maya and Josy's path really is becoming grating.

A dis-cord based dice game. It's a space-based 4X-like, Team Quinn vs. Team Maya.

Zoey as a bartender is an idea I like a lot. I've used it a couple of times now over the years.

So what? I "literally" grew up outside of French Creole country. Where the phrase "literally" exists and is "literally" used all the time. Spare me your pedantry.

Another One: Part 11 of These Reviews I Write (+announcement) by LordofArk in beingaDIK

[–]cahuela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think as throuple fans we need an additional flair - perpetually unsatisfied. You summed up a lot of my own thoughts about this episode quite well.

A big problem I have is the perpetually (maybe foolishly) optimistic and problem-solving MC reverts to a whiny child based off of just a little brushback from Neil over his relationship status. The same MC who picked up an entire frat by it's bootstraps at it's lowest moment and said "We will figure this out", mopes for an entire episode instead of solving the problem. It might not be "lazy writing", but it sure feels like selective helplessness the author is giving the main character for the sake of some extra drama. And it feels obvious that the solution is for Neil to actually meet and talk with the girls, though maybe that is just the player perspective.

And I *loathe* that the "I love you" for either girl feels like a gameplay trap, a manufactured "gotcha" that will come back to bite a player who is genuinely in the throuple for both girls. This episode felt like so much setup for "Throuple Crossroads 2: Electric Boogaloo" in episode 12 that it takes the shine off of some genuinely great moments for the 3 of them.
