Yep, Sensei is kind of like an accidental cult leader at this point. He just wanted to fuck teenagers, but ended up becoming their god.
As much as it might seem like I'm complaining or in someway hold a negative opinion about these possibilities, I'm actually excited to see a game potentially setting up to push boundaries in ways and to levels that rarely get pushed. I'm kind of an anything goes type, no limits, so even topping Crossed would be fine with me personally speaking. I still get disturbed by it in the short term, though.
There's only so much you can say without giving out too much, which threatens to ruin any big reveals in the future connected to the specific information being given. If he's setting up something big for the future like I've theorized, then being cryptic about things at this point does serve to not accidentally expose too much and ruin the potential impact. We're looking at what could possibly be the future entrance of the real main antagonist according to my theory and, if he's trying to make it some big thing, giving what he's planning away will ruin that.
Now that you say this, HOPE does seem like the 'do whatever is deemed necessary' type that would do something drastic if it meant getting his way. Killing Pareidolia, or any character really, would be considered something drastic considering that might be a way to get rid of that pesky spring getting in the way of the winter he's looking for.
Yeah, I'm fine with pushing boundaries, it's just that "Crossed" didn't really just push boundaries. It satired them in a way. That's something I'd like this game to avoid. I'd rather suffer watching a character suffer than feel the need to laugh at the ridiculousness of it.
Thanks for this. It's part of what i meant in one of my previous posts, with Pareidolia trying to push Akira towards a certain point/state.
FWIW, he claims he donates a significant chunk of his income to organizations that support victims of abuse.
The fact that Maya's an anti-religion shrine maiden who's the one used to inform us that the christian concept of a Holy Trinity is relevant to the game makes me wonder.
Read something like that some time ago too.
He does - but at the same time, I've only had a memorably visceral reaction to ("triggered" by, I guess) two characters in all the media I've consumed - William H Macy's portrayal of the completely unrepentant malignant narcissist dad in Shameless, and Ami. Literally disgustingly well written/performed at times
I swear - if all the r/atheism rhetoric in this game doesn't lead somewhere interesting, that will be one of its biggest disappointments. God was dead in fucking 1882, we need new stories.
It was $11k and healthy change 6mo ago when this shit popped off, and it's at $11,015 right now. Even Champion of Realms kept growing after losing the Latest Updates page (see graph). LiL is going nowhere. No real marketing and current subs are still walking on eggshells to avoid the banhammer. Great combo.
This is one of the only games worth talking about on here (for better or for worse) - but yeah, this thread is particularly great. Ironically, the last batch of bad-faith grass-allergics that were in here were sent as part of a hate raid by Selly himself.
I hope no one believes that without seeing receipts. I'd believe a couple one-time donos, but tithing? Ain't no way.
I definitely think there's potential in Maya being raped by a family relative:
I'm thinking her hatred of gods just comes from being stuck in a chronoprison where she can't be with Sensei, though. I mean either gods are punishing her, or they don't care, so why wouldn't she dislike them.
I guess I'm the one to blame for this since I started it, but it feels like people are going a little overboard now. I pointed out that technicality ("until the snow returns") because I thought it was odd, but we really don't know if it should be taken that literally. Honestly, it's a little stupid and some things don't add up.
"The dark" even talks like Pareidolia though:
That means one and the same, not?
I'm still not sure if it was full on rape, but I am leaning in the direction she did have something inappropriate being done to her. She may have been touched, stripped, flashed, maybe someone pulled a Yumi situation on her, there are a number of things that don't technically fall under rape, but do fall under other similar categories on the same relative spectrum.
No, you are onto a possibility here. This world we're viewing in game, it isn't normal, there are things going on that defy real world logic already. You are right, this may not come to pass in the most literal sense possible, but it is not outside the realm of possibility that it does. We are talking about essentially supernatural entities here, some with powers beyond human understanding. If there is one that can potentially control weather or time, and there may very well be considering how messed up the timeline is with the resets, that opens up potential for this power to bring back the snow in the wrong hands, immediately giving way to the end of the time limit and the associated consequences. The same can be said if any of these entities can control weather, we may not even need to be in winter to see snow if there is an entity that can simply make snow fall. If HOPE were to get either of these powers, he could simply speed up or rewind time or could simply make snow fall now instead of waiting for spring to pass. The way to do that would most likely be to kill the current holder of that power. I cannot guess which power, but Pareidolia may very well have one of them, making Pareidolia a priority target if HOPE goes this route assuming all this information turns out true.
I might have a shocking truth for you.
Not really. You mentioned only her urges. I said it seemed like it was mostly due to hornyness, but also added that sex wasn't even necessary since words themselves seemed to be enough. Not to mention that her knowing that hatesex apparently deletes him, could imply that she has done it out of anger instead of just hornyness, at some point.
Sorry to break it to you, but it's been heavily Implied that Sensei is actually:
It could definitely be something "less" than rape. I've been somewhat waiting for any confirmation that Sensei was Maya's first, but I don't think it's come up.
