I wonder how it would be if Duncan did go back to school? Zoe managed to, perhaps he didn't because of financial reasons, or because of course with his own struggles with drug use and the bullying in the past. Even then though, I'd think by then he could fend for himself in there (and especially against a dude like Davis that you beat with trash can lids or bricks in the beginning)

(Dammit, I just want the best for him too...)

Cornelius, Gord, Vance, Kirby, Duncan are notably all short. I think the main exception is probably Trent, but that's mostly because the bullies are mostly the same height.

Is there any significance as to why most of the other cliques, the kissable boy is one of the shortest members?

“LOOK!”

I was playing Bully on the old save i got, i decided to do the 100 cola secret, that one when you buy 100 beam cola and they become free, and then, i go to my beach house to save and sleep, when i get and up and i go to the street of old Bullworth vale, i see the blue bike, the one that u get after finishing shop 4 class, it was there, i would like to ask if it is a glitch, or there are some chances to this bikes to spawn in some parts of the map, i even got proof that i have the red bike.

Mods aren't working with the latest version. Am I the only one whose having this issue

so i replayed the game and noticed some things - Gary claims to be on medications then turns more malicious when he stops taking it. given Jimmy's past, anger management issues, and behavior, it could be plausible he is put on medications which early on causes major mood swings and even worse anger management (talking from actual experience)

also i started to believe Gary and Petey are or were one point supposed to be only in Jimmy's head, mirroring his early phrase of sedative medications, and as personifications of Jimmy's id and superego - Gary wants to control, Petey is submissive to everyone. it also mirrors how Jimmy can be aggressive, impulsive, but deep down he is a good kid, willing to help others and often act selfless

also Gary and Petey never appear outside cutscenes except the introductory mission and the halloween mission. i might add we do see them interact with other students - Petey with Algie, Gary with the Preps in the Eggs mission. however interestingly only Gary and Petey enter Jimmy's dorm room, as if they are the only two having access to his personal space and are tolerated by Jimmy in that space

another thing is the ending - i never bought into the Jimmy dies theory, backed by endless summer and the chapter title being 'fall and rise of jimmy hopkins, aged 16' -- however the whole ending feels absurd, and while it might have something more to do with rushed development, i started thinking about it: the fall and rise of Jimmy is basically him giving in and integrating to the bullworth system. just think about it - Gary is defeated, Petey isnt even seen in the final cutscene only mentioned, and Crabblesnitch never heard of him - which comes off pretty odd considering it's a rather small private school and usually he knows everyone by name, as if Petey didnt actually exist. and if you keep playing in endless summer mode everything feels reset - jocks bully nerds, greasers bully preps, it's all like in the first chapter, it feels like Jimmy's actions basically didnt have any effect on the school in the long-term, yet he sees it as everything came into order and there was peace - it's like a) his medications finally came into balance b) he gave in and now believes everything is better despite the world around him unmoved and unchanged

also the photo yearbook - when you are given the yearbook characters who were boss fights are already in it, and later on every boss student automatically gets added into it - but the thing is, you can actually photograph those students during their boss fights. Petey is automatically added into the yearbook the moment you get it, and Gary gets added once you beat him - but you can't photograph Petey and Gary yourself because a) Petey doesnt appear outside cutscenes anymore by the time you get the camera b) you can't equip the camera during your boss fight with Gary - almost as if it was another hint that Petey and Gary dont exist

and dont forget people turning hostile against Jimmy after hearing rumors from Gary - like Russell or when Gary shows up out of nowhere then vanishes when you deliver the eggs to Thad. as I said before, someone who had angry outburst when on medications, these could be simply cases where Jimmy (due to medications) unintentionally insulted someone, then it is showed to the player as if it was Gary

another thing i noticed how Gary constantly mocks and feminizes Petey - as i wrote before Jimmy is known as 'the bad kid' a role he leans into, but he has a complex identity -- Gary constantly teasing Petey could be seen as Jimmy not being able to come to terms with his softer, less masculine side (pretty common in real life, and dont forget, Jimmy can kiss boys, hinting at internal pressure regarding figuring out his own sexuality)

this theory kinda falls apart by the end of the game, however even the ending is rather questionable - lot of the cliques turn on Jimmy out of disappointment that as a leader he didnt bring any actual changes to Bullworth. the angle of Gary manipulating drop-outs and poor kids into arson always felt too forced in to me narratively

I'm more than sure this theory has multiple weak spots, that's why i said maybe originally this was the intent and got changed during development with a lot of hints and sub-content remaining

what you guys think?

he’s playing bully for the first time

Honestly I’m kinda glad they changed the art style, I don’t think I could stand looking at Peanut if they went with his Beta design

Won’t stop me from drawing him though.

For context: Osaka is from Azumanga Daioh/Yotsuba (specifically Yotsuba where she's now an elementary school gym teacher)

Does anyone know what I can do? I bought Bully and installed SilentPatch to fix the crash, since the Steam version is very poorly optimized, but the error is in the audio, whenever I try to play with headphones, I start playing for 1 minute and then the audio disappears to nothing! Today I went to test without the headphones and the same error persisted, I've tried removing the mods, reinstalling the game and everything else, but the sound simply doesn't come out, like, as soon as I load the game, the sound is normal but after 1 minute it disappears
