Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.41.0] [Selebus]

[barglenarglezous]

yeah, but it was specifically made as a barrier for people who do not pay attention, so just answering the question nullifies the purpose the developer gave it

The developer has also said that he doesn't care if deaf players can't solve a puzzle that uses audio cues, which is kinda shitty.

Do your own thing. Don't expect others to play along.

EDIT: I will also add -- I'll take another round of "how do I get past ______" questions over another blasted piracy argument. If it honestly bothers you that much, just block the users asking the questions. Should clean things up super quick without expecting other users to follow your lead.

In the long term, that may wind up being the best thing to happen to Yumi.

The way Tsuneyo stood up to Yumi though, well, her and the others was kinda nuts. I feel bad though cuz all she wanted to do was apologize. And then there was Sensei at the end saying he was proud of her. But honestly I would have loved to see Tsuneyo at least give her the reality check she needed thinking she was all that and all. I feel like *THAT* would have been more of a wakeup call and less traumatizing than getting slapped by the person you hate the most in the world.

eventually, subscribestar will get pinched the way Snapchat, Craigslist, PornHub, Patreon, and OnlyFans were. Eventually, all those places e-girls fled to when OnlyFans got pinched will get pinched. Once they get big enough and enough money is flowing through them to get government attention, it's inevitable.

None of these companies ACTUALLY want to turn away money. They'd happily take the money if feds were breathing down their necks.

I haven't delved super deep into this, but I really thought this was about the financial institutions and credit card companies, rather than the government. With so many people saying different things, though, it's hard to find the real culprit.

I don't think it is possible to over stress how fucking lazy the financial sector is when it comes to money laundering and proceeds of crime. In fact the word lazy may be too kind, unconcerned may be closer, and in many cases complicit is probably apt.

Governments around the world do what they can to fight financial crimes and from time to time put the screws on the institutions. Usually by threatening regulatory action or to review their shitty practices. We all know there is nothing the criminal underworld fears more than light being shone on their "work" (there's a reason journalists are murdered all over the world by drug cartels) so the banks can't let this happen - they really don't like it when their mates go to prison and they really don't want people to ask where all the money they have comes from - and they really really don't want to have to answer questions about how much they know about the provenance of that money.

So they take "action".

However, as we have established, the industry is fucking scum and lazy so they can't be fucked to actually think about these issues (plus if they investigate they may find out just how much of their money is from the proceeds of crime - uhoh). So they just blanket ban stuff. Think YouTube with their algorithm.

At the end of the day the banks could stop pretty much all fraud if they had any will to do so. But they just really like money and stuff.

Capitalism!

For the puzzle topic, it's all relative. Skyrim wasn't designed to be played with sex mods, the modders did it anyway. I'm sure the assassins creed developers didn't design the game with me killing hundreds of civilians in mind, but when I got bored that's what happened

It's safe to assume everyone here has played a game in a way that the developer would not have wanted them to play it originally. People bypass barriers that are set up to stop them doing certain things constantly. Cheating, modding, speedrunning, looking up a walkthrough. Someone else wanting an easy answer to a puzzle is fairly light compared to what people do on other games

We treat the games on this forum different from standard video games, especially this one. In reality, we've all done things that someone doesn't want us to do. Most people tend to do the opposite of what someone else wants when we're given no choice, it's no different here

Plus, a lot of people see this as a sex game more than a story-based game. It doesn't surprise me that they'd look for a quick answer rather than search for clues considering what they're likely doing. It's just a consequence of the genre

To add to that, I doubt anyone will need puzzle help in the huggy boy version of this game. it should be obvious as to why

Just my two cents on the topic

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.


A good example -- the Patriot act requires all financial institutions to submit a regular Suspicious Activity Report to help track down money launderers. Because organized crime played a heavy hand in the development of the porn industry, ALL porn-related financial transactions get reported, even though the rise of digital porn pretty much diluted that associatioin (it's still there, but nowhere near as pervasive).

This creates a MASSIVE burden on financial institutions, especially now that the industry's gone both digital and mainstream. Fewer cash (harder to track) transactions, exponentially more digital transactions, and oh -- every third young woman has an Onlyfans. And that's just the impact of the 20 year old Patriot Act. FOSTA/SESTA adds another layer of complications.

So the governments leaning on the banks, forcing the banks to lean on the sites, forcing the sites to alienate their clients.

Banks can and absolutely will cut corners to save time, agreed.

That's why they treat all porn transactions as "suspicious" on their reporting, because sifting through them all would be tedious and require additional manpower they'd rather not pay. And if one site starts generating too many transactions, they start leaning on them.

Because the results of that leaning in the short term is less work for them.

The Youtube algorithms a bit different, they're more concerned with bringing ad revenue in. The last couple of years, they've really wanted to bring in the same kind of family-friendly advertisers you see on TV, since that translates into big bucks, but Keebler isn't going to be too keen to spend ad money promoting their cookies if Onision's cock is flopping around.

Will this work with newer versions? or will the game just break? I really love this dark mode theme

This game is too WHITE for my liking so i made a dark mod for myself which is more pleasing to my eyes. It turned out decent so thought of sharing it here.

Edit : Updated for v0.21.0 part 1

Just making sure, can anyone clarify if I need part 1 as well as part 2 for the entire story?

I want the full experience, not just the lewd/sexy stuff.

 

[hcguy]

The problem is not that people are asking questions, the problem is that they are all asking the same questions because they can't be bothered to search the forum first. If I go to a forum to ask the people there for help, you bet your ass that I will show them some respect by searching to see if there is already an answer to my question before I bother the people I am hoping will be nice enough to help me out.

The part 1/2 stuff has referred to the bi-monthly release schedule, not content disparity between the versions. Part 2 is therefore just the next release from part 1, and you don't need part 1 if you have part 2.

Sexy version has everything. Not sexy version cuts the sexy bits with nothing but nonsense in its place.

It is definitely not helpful when one version is part 1 and the other is part 2 and the version numbers are different though. I'm not even sure if the sex version has all the content as the other version once you apply the patch. The game definitely has enough content to keep a new player busy if you just download the sexy version, when you finish there will be a new update anyway.

 

[mannice431]

It's very simple guys, you see the latest version of the game that says it has SEX in it? That's the spice.

Moving on from that; i've wondered about one of the pixelated characters that showed up in the latest happy event, one of them is clearly a younger version of Sara, and Sara has mentioned that she dated someone who was a teacher and also couldn't keep it in his pants and ended up dumping her.

And i was left wondering (especially after the interaction we have with young Sara): Is Sensei (somehow) the guy who knocked up Sara?

I know it makes no sense but the latest happy event could perhaps be pointing in that direction.

It is a mystery

So how Selebus releases his updates is in two parts, meaning that 0.22.0 will also have a part 1 and part 2

I think Selebus just wanted to make it clear that the part 1 release had no new sexual content or he had to remove it for a bit while Patreon was reviewing his game (guessing here).


Anyway, if you want the full experience, always download the latest version, so in this case 0.21.0 pt 2

 

[barglenarglezous]

So how Selebus releases his updates is in two parts, meaning that 0.22.0 will also have a part 1 and part 2

This is true most months. However, whenever there's a big event (Beach trip, dorm war, halloween, and Christmas), there's only one update. 22.0 is the Christmas update, so there will only be one part. The update after that is 23.0 part 1.

Most of the time, Part 1 will deal with main story events and primary characters, and Part 2 will deal with both primary and side characters.

Assuming linear time was in play prior to the beginning of the time loop, that doesn't check out. Sensei would have been about 17 when Sana was born, too young to be a teacher.

Granted, time fuckery is already a thing in this game, so maybe today-Sensei fucked baby-Sara and Sana's a time-baby.

Wouldn't actually be the oddest thing happening in this game.

Part 1 and 2 are just the update cycle. They aren't separate files you patch together or whatever.

 

[SomeGuyPhoenix]

Many thanks for all the replies, I guess I just found this game in between an interesting update time, but I've grabbed Part 2 and will start it tomorrow morning, loving the look of the art from the screenshots, so looking forward too it.

how to fix it everyone?

 

[Narutosa33]

Can anyone help me out here? I'm having issues with the compressed version of the update. It keeps reading the file as the 0.21.5 SFW update rather than the current update. Has anyone else been having this issue? If so have you fixed it and if you have how can I do the same on my cheap android 10 tablet?

 

[d_pedestrian]

So I downloaded the compressed version of the sex version and when I open the game it says "The Legend of the Huggy boy". Do i need to download patch from lewdpatcher even when I download the sex version? Well There's no patch for 0.21.0 part 2
