I'm still a little surprised that there is technically "Haruka's actual pipes" lore in this game:

Like, that's actually apart of the story if you don't fuck Haruka enough by the first Halloween. It's just a dad joke otherwise though.

I'm a little surprised that so many people are finding that old god scene at the end of Nao-chan's chain to be that spooky. Maybe it was because of the lighthearted tone throughout the entire thing until the very end, but I found it kinda silly and ridiculous. I just started laughing when this chicken scratch stick person showed up in front of Sensei.
Then again, maybe I was in a mood because I thought the end of Io's event was a bit too melodramatic and self-indulgent.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the update. Nao-chan's events were adorable, Maki and Haruka's character development has been interesting, really excited about what's going to happen in the dorm wars and all the developments going on, and I liked the happy event and its implications even if it was absolutely miserable trying to find the last room so I could get out.

I think the drawing is weirdly unsettling.
Dunno why, its just a drawing, and not a good looking one, and .. somehow, thats what makes that drawing so uncomfortable.

The effect is a reduction in the rate of new pirates. If less people see the game on the latest updates page, less will be attracted to this thread. Less people attracted to this thread means less piracy, which is exactly what Sel wanted. Passive blind discovery is the reduction of piracy in this case and, as far as supporters, have you not seen where the game is at in terms of income? The latest active goal on SubscribeStar, meaning the latest one not met yet, is to reach the ludicrous amounts gained by another game just because why not. We are well beyond the point of needing new blood in the subscriber pool. In fact, new subscribers could even be detrimental because all tiers give access to requests at this point and that means time needed to work on them that he has to take either out of personal time or game development time, both options having a severe potential negative impact.
It depends, the game got a pretty big spotlight. Japanese companies definitely won't touch it, there's a stigma on porn of any kind, but western ones could. There is no cultural stigma here and western companies tend to be dangerously greedy when it comes to money. For a western example, look at what CBS did to the rules regulating the making of fan projects for the Star Trek franchise, it basically killed the fan project market entirely and all because one bad apple was violating copyright laws by stepping outside of fair use through making direct profit.What kind of adult company has the legal resources to do that? I get disney or nintendo, but you know the big guns ain't gonna dabble with porn lol
Good point, I hadn't even considered that. I count Fakku as one of these and they have a history showing interest in Illusion products.
They wouldn't exist if subscribers actually got their benefits, which the leaks prevent since, well, the leaks effectively are the benefits now being given to non-subscribers. It isn't exactly a subscriber benefit if everyone is getting it, so Sel made these to try and give us back something exclusive which he would then allow free users paid access to later. Essentially, if everyone just waited two weeks for free or paid for the early access, these wouldn't exist.

Lol, the day Selly is satisfied with the amount of supporters he has is the day pigs fly. Also, i laid out how new pirates will have next to no trouble in the vast majority of cases but you just side stepped that as though it wasn't 95% of my point about how it's no tangible victory. As i said before, the group most affected by this pyrrhic 'victory' contains most if not all potential new supporters so it's also a hilarious example of an own goal. The pirates will do just fine.
Dude, i've been here for a very long time now, i know why they exist, my point was they're annoying because they're not worth it, if they were then i wouldn't find it annoying to have randoms regularly rockin up asking how to subvert the DRM.
It's good to see you again Alex, watching you do mental gymnastics has always been entertaining and i'm looking forward to the ones you'll do in response to this post too.
I think one of the big reasons why there are not more subscribers, is because this game is completely unplayable without progression mod, which updates with public release.Lol, the day Selly is satisfied with the amount of supporters he has is the day pigs fly.

So, decided to check out some picture conversations, and came upon this with Imani:
Here's hoping that was just a joke, and not some kind of effed up foreshadowing.

Wow - I guess I just imagined playing it without the mod.

It’s quite interesting to learn about the range of things that unsettle people.
For me the scary Maya face and Nao-chan drawing are more like just UHM materials; but it's pretty much because at this point of the game I am treating anything eerie like case studies, trying to move closer to the screen and see if I can learn something
(as long as they don't move toward me too quickly I think I can manage xD)
In the traditional scary sense, any scene blasting with enough smiles for me is plenty scary, typically those in the earlier chapters when I wasn’t as mentally ready. Things like:
(seriously when it comes to scary, nothing beats smiles that you can’t comprehend)
The one event that overloads all my sensory and I actually found myself moving a few inches back is Turn Off The Lights. The whole event creeps me the fuck out and that ten seconds of strobe light plus static sent me off the edge (I think Selly toned this event down later in some updates, but still this event is something I refuse to replay)
Another event that didn't scare me but gave me a shit ton of goosebumps is Bluejay; not because Makoto jumped, but because you realized, even before her free fall finished, that this suicide would be corrected to never had happened. The “you’re not allowed to choose the easy way out” feeling fucked me up so much.

Personally, the only thing that creeped me out in this game is the Nope Maya face initially:

I also saw the Old One coming from the moment Nao-chan showed the drawing, so it was like "neat" instead of scary for me.
Besides that, I'm usually more curious than anything. I think Molly's stuff has made me the most uncomfortable though. Whether it's wondering whether Sensei will rape her, or if she'll rape Rin, or if Tsuneyo's comedy routine about Molly will be taken seriously, I find myself conflicted on whether I want to keep going or take a break when it comes to Molly related events, initially. Kirin's events with Ayane are in second place when it comes to stuff like that.
Monsta John and the White Fronted Parrot stuff did have me going:

Yeah, sadly at this point I just look at the code every update to find out how to get to the events. I highly doubt most people would bother going that far.

I'm not sure how others feel about it, but I still feel, not exactly creeped out, but definitely concerned by the 'Good boy' Happy Event:
Just the whole thing is disturbing.
Whether it's what's shown like the roaches or Sekai's creepy smile, or what's implied with Sekai apparently molesting an injured Sensei after offering him a "piggyback" ride, and getting his blood in her hair. Then it's followed up by the Long Maya and Moyo stuff who ask questions like effed up therapists.
I think the only reason I find the Molly stuff more uncomfortable is that I know it's far too late to worry about what Sekai might do. The damage is done.
