I am not American but I know a bit about the subject.

For those wondering, Texas has notoriously had a very weak power grid for a long time, combined with the fact that Natural disasters are very common, it causes massive amounts of power outages
View attachment 3818343

I think Selebus lives in Houtson specifically, and just about recently there's been a Cyclone that has caused mass floodings which resulted in literal hundreds of thousands of people, including Selly, out of power.

Unfortunately for the players, USERS don't have the power to create the world, so if this keeps going on for longer (which very possibly could since Texas is notoriously bad at restoring power) there could be delays up to weeks
I just so happen to be an American and a former Texas native and everything that was said is true. Texas is geographical marvel there can be heavy snow storms one winter and then it can get so hot the floors start sweating a couple of months later. 4/10 place to visit wouldn't recommend.

Once you get south of Dallas, snow happens about once every 6 years, and most of the time it melts on impact. that's what made the 2021 storm so devastating -- most of the state had never SEEN any kind of snow accumulation for more than a couple of hours, and it remained for two full weeks. It was bizarre.

And then there was a tornado in North Texas not to long ago. If it's not random snow storms it blistering heat, floods and hurricanes. You get a little a bit of everything there.

Yeah, those tornados are just uninvited guests from Oklahoma.

Not from Texas. Have travelled through it many times, and... Yeah.

Mind, I'm from Northern California. We get wonderful weather most of the time, but when we don't? :(

I've been thinking about Sel's output (and internal consistency) a lot recently. It is really, really hard to write and release a story serially and have it make any sense. I... write a bit IRL. Over the past few years, I've put out a series of books that's up to about 200,000 words -- and it's a bear to keep characters, plotlines, settings, etc. straight. And mind, my story is fairly linear and real-world: just a couple of flashbacks and the occasional dream sequence to get things weird. And I've still found things (or my readers have) that didn't make sense from one book to another.

That LiL is coming up on ten times the size, that it's nonlinear -- both in the sense that it's a game and that it's got time loops, flashbacks, extra-dimensional weirdness and more -- and that it's coming out monthly, and yet still holds together well enough for us to be debating tropes and themes is impressive. FWIW.

Though if he doesn't make up for the awful he's put Io through in the past few releases, I may be gone. Harrumph.

The main reason George R R Martin has yet to publish Winds of Winter is because he realized that something happened in an earlier book that shouldn't have, and now he can't take the story in the direction he wants to take it in the way he planned because of it. He wrote himself into a corner, and is stuck on how to get out of it. We've been waiting 10 years for him to escape that corner.

The longer a story goes on, the more likely that is to happen. Granted, Sel's playing a lot more "fast and loose" with his story than Martin is, as he's only really planed the broadest strokes ahead and the rest he let's fall as he goes, and he has an out Martin doesn't since the whole "POV character with an unreliable memory and prone to hallucinations" makes retconning incredibly easy, but it's still an eventual liklihood.

I've considered going into game dev a few times. I absolutely would not do it until I had the entire story set to paper and ready to go just to prevent this scenario from happening.

Sure -- but it's hard to develop the whole story before getting any feedback. Whether it's a a series of games or novels, the years it would take to draft the entire project get lonely and expensive. And even if you do finish the whole thing, I promise you, you'll miss stuff.

And yeah: unreliable narrator is a great out. Also, very much the point of the story, here. :)

Did anyone post the triggers for the 0.41 events? Can someone please link them or something? Thanks
Most of them just play out in sequence -- they get triggered on particular days. To trigger the Futaba scenes, you need to visit her in the dorms and just hang out. (I think the Wakana/Imani scenes may require that you've done those Futaba scenes first.)

Oh, and if you're getting shampoo-blocked... Use URM or a save editor to change the escapeshampoo (?) variable to false.

Changed to haunting instead.
Oh yeaa this scene.Man now the thought that Sekai raped Akira in a hotspring in the past cannot leave my mind.Thx!

Anyways in the topic of Sekai haunting Akira.Since chapter 4 focuses on Sanna i am SO excited to get more info on the that thing that Sana said when she caught us legit speaking with Sekai back in the infimary(That Sara also used to do this.Also the fact that when we blacked out and had sex with Sara-and Yuki choked us-she said that she also experienced something similar in the past.Im 99% its trauma related so Akira wont be able to fully relate but trauma is a BIIIIG part of his problems so yea,pretty exited)

Is there a Whataburger reference in the game that I've missed/forgotten?
There is! Trinity Pt3 HuggyBoy ver. In fact what HOPE is describing here sounds pretty close to what is happening at TX now :illuminati:
