Iirc "waifu" just derives from a phonetic rendering of "wife" since many languages don't pronounce a single "I" the way English often does but instead always use "ai" or "ei" for that sound.

Apart from the fact that Japanese of course normally doesn't use the Latin alphabet, it's fair to say that a single "I" isn't pronounced like in English in any language that does. Basically every other language has the "i" either like the first vowel in "eternity" for the short or as in "steep" for the long vowel.
But yeah, phonetic renderings are very common in Japan, also with adjustments to make foreign sounds match the Japanese language logic. If you want to have some fun with it, try

.In the end, "waifu" definitely derives from the modern "wife", not the old spelling (which would have been pronounced basically the same as the modern "wife", give the letters "waif" to any speaker of a non English Germanic language, and they would pronounce it more or less like that).

Ok thanks for the information.
I'm not sure I'm interested in doing it: I haven't seen any of the other scenes yet (nor am I likely to see them in the future).

Well, it's up to you if you're interested in doing it or not. I figured that since you were asking. The girls look cute in their Halloween costumes.

I was just curious to see if I had the same problem as others and the skull didn't appear. Now that I know that I also have that bug, well, my curiosity is over.
It's something similar to secret images, I know they exist, and I think I have gotten some, but I have never looked to see which ones I have and which ones I'm missing.
What I do is download and run the new apk, and Android says "do you want to install an update to this software?" yes
I've been very busy so couldn't reply earlier, sorry. If I missed any questions/support requests, please ping me.
Yeah, the quest log will be updated with new stuff later. There will be filters/categories, and yes, I will try to make the update notification more useful.
Good idea. Can't promise it'll be done anytime soon, but I'll file it to my Big List of Things To Add.
There are two story events in the latest update, and after Blair is settled in the house, it will pick up again.
Her next arc should start early next year.When's Naomi going to get an update, sheesh.
If you unpacked the game earlier, do a cleanup of script files. Otherwise this must be a weird patch failure. Then just redownload the full build.
This just happens sometimes. Usually a full system restart fixes the issue.

No.Dear ZanithOne, for the love of God, and all things holy, please use x’s, y’s and z’s for all future logical tests!
In theory, if you load your save game, it should restore the gallery state. In theory.
If you have any kind of mod installed or earlier version unpacked, clean up the script files.
Taena wasn't in the inn this evening tho
Post your save, please, I'll have a look.
Hi-res/compressed patches only work with the same flavour of the base version. You cannot use the hi-res patch on the compressed version of the game.what do I do with the hi-res patch? I downloaded that latest one, 0.5.8 to 0.5.9 and it's .exe? I tried to run it but it says it can't detect the game.
No, the patches only work on PC.

I have been following this for months on trying to get the Spooky Time dream unlocked. I have read every post but nothing has worked for me. I have read changing your system clock to around Halloween (Oct 31st) and I have changed my system clock to every day from 10-25 to 11-7 and ran the game. No joy.
So I waited for months until we were within a week of Halloween (like we are today) and nothing.
I finally said fuck it and parsed the code and I still cannot figure out how to get it to unlock within the existing code from the game.
So the unlock appears to occur with this statement in dream_app.rpy file:
However halloween_time is never defined anywhere in the game. It is literally only existent in one other file (migrations.rpy) where the following is listed:
So it will never run turn true.
So for those that want to actually play this, there are two ways to get it to start (both Console):
To enable the Spooky Times dream in the dream app (click on it - then wait and go to sleep that night):
To just say fuck it and run it:
Have fun all - enjoy. Elsewhere (and now on the front page) has how to get all the sex scenes.
Peace.

Well, acschully, halloween_time is updated elsewhere, but yeah, there is a scoping bug in 0.5.10 that prevents it from working.

If it is - I could not find it. Could you enlighten me? I don't mind being wrong - and I am not an expert at coding as Python is not my languages (C, C++, COBOL, PASCAL, Delphi, Fortran, and 8086 assembler are my jam)Well, acschully, halloween_time is updated elsewhere, but yeah, there is a scoping bug in 0.5.10 that prevents it from working.
I un-ren-ed the rpa files, and they were all put in the scripts directory. Did a command line search for the halloween_time name for all files.
game/scripts$ grep -ire halloween_time
ui/smartphone/dream_app.rpy: if halloween_time:
migrations.rpy: if store.halloween_time:
game/scripts$So I expanded my search and found where it is set - save_and_compatibility_utils.rpy
halloween_time = 274 <= time.localtime().tm_yday <= 334
if not halloween_time:
state.dream_manager.remove_dream("halloween_20.start")So just pulled up a Gregorian calendar and so it should show up if the current date is sometime between October 1st and November 30th.
Okay - so it is supposed to be set - and you said it is a bug to be worked on. Okay - no worries. I still have a post so people who what to get around it and allow them to play the scenes - they can do it.

Oh the shame, I can't believe I didn't get this one!
One of my favourite movies no less.
If Rae had asked, "Perhaps we should try to 'suck a fuck', it could be interesting..." I woulda got it in a heartbeat!
I am happy to see a fellow 86 assembly fan. May it newer fall out of use.

Taena runs a tight ship, I have a hard time believing that they did it without her knowledge and approval. At the very least I'd expect them to have all talked about our conversation in the dungeon before they planned that.Taena wasn't in the inn this evening tho
If you're interested, the
default statement in utils/misc/splashscreen.rpy sets the halloween_time variable when a new game is started, which is why starting a new game during the window causes it to be set to True. The problem is that the code that is supposed to update it whenever you load your game is setting halloween_time as a local variable scoped to that function call, not changing the global variable that the rest of the code is checking for. halloween_time = True in the console will enable the dream, as will starting a new game.I'm wondring what the book is that Caitlin sometimes reads to Naomi in the evenings. The extracts are so convincing that I'm pretty sure that it must be a real book.
Guys, I'm really confused. I've been trying to trigger the Bathroom Pitjob scene continuously, getting Lyriel to scrub the bath over and over again, but it just refuses to trigger. Can somebody tell me if there's a step by step way to access it? I think I might be just plain clueless.
Additionally, I've noticed she tends to 'disappear' in the evenings sometimes on the map - cannot find her at all.
Other thing; I haven't triggered Yona's inclusion to the house yet, but her dream sequence has been started, and she and Lyriel both were mentioned in Cait's return scene. bit of a story bug, but not the biggest issue.
If somebody could please give me instructions on how to get that last scene, or tell me that I've somehow screwed up by forgetting to trigger something, I would much appreciate it, thank you.
