Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.43.0] [Selebus]

[barglenarglezous]

Next dorm war Tsuneyo has to compete in karaoke and sing Country Road.
I feel like all the girls are better by their relation with Sensei. Like they would hurt more without him than they will with him, even Yumi, only the wizards I worry about.
Also I think the last side girl might actually be Ayane's mom.

I suspect that the last side character is the best maid in Kumon-Mi.

There was a whole thing about Ami and Uta agreeing that Sensei must not meet her under any circumstances, and typically you don't toss something like that in unless it's going to be relevant later.

it has REAL beams too... not a flavor one, just a lazer one, but it does have a flavor compartment

The best maid in Kumon-mi is already one of the girls, did you not watch the last dorm war?

You obviously don't have eyes. She kept flip-flopping back-and-forth between the tsundere treatment and the deredere treatment, and consistency should be one of the bare minimum requirements of being a maid.

I can't believe you are all actually sleeping on the best maid of Kumon-mi and of all time-loops, the one and only Geoffrey

What's the solution to the quest "word of the day?" I've gotten the "swallowed a spider" part already, but don't know how to progress.

I'm unfamiliar with the works of Shel Silverstein, so I'm curious as to what this is referencing? Thanks. These types of references always tweak my curiosity.

I'm unfamiliar with the works of Shel Silverstein, so I'm curious as to what this is referencing? Thanks. These types of references always tweak my curiosity.

IIRC, this is when he's referencing Where the Sidewalk Ends, which is a metaphor for the shift from the carefree nature of youth and the responsibilities of adulthood, and how every child understands there's a moment where they'll have to grow up.

Adulthood is portrayed as a dark and scary place, and by contrast youth is seen as bright and fanciful. And the poem encourages adults to view life through the lens of a child to find the joy in the world -- which is essentially what Sensei is doing.

Not spoken within the poem is the inverse of that -- children viewing the world the the eyes of an adult and feeling the existential dread. Which is what some of the girls are starting to do -- Makoto in particular, but a few of the others have as well.

I'm not sure what the guard rail reference is. I don't recall any references to one in any of his poems.

I think its in reference to his poem 'the bridge' where it talks about a bridge that can only take you halfway to a land of unicorns and magic and you have to do the last few steps alone.... its thought to be an allegory for suicide by some people

if you walk halfway across a bridge and it only takes a few more steps to get to your destination and you have to take those steps alone...
yeah, think about it
the guys a poet, you think about word play and hidden meaning a lot, i seriously doubt he wrote that without knowing what it could/does allude to

I had forgotten about this one. I remember the controvery over the interpretation, though. I'm pretty sure you're right about the reference.

The poem itself I don't think Silverstein ever intended to be read that way. That's a very natural way for an adult to interpret it, but a child (unless they're insanely literal) is likely thinking in terms of a magical bridge, not a literal one.

I think Sel's using both interpretations within this reference though. You can search for the beauty in the world, or you can step off the side. Either way, you're taking those final steps on your own.

considering sensei's 'world view' at the time he said this though. I'm pretty sure the context of what sensei was saying is 'she could go commit suicide'

For now only a missed event and some changes in dialog, may have some more consequences later.

Rin and Karin are not the same person.
Karin is a character you probably maybe have not been introduced to yet?

but yeah aside from missing out on events with Rin, Rin no longer trusts you and it changes dialogue throughout most of the game. I would actually say its the most impactful miss-able event. and all because you couldn't ignore chika's event schadenfreude till after the beach event.

OH
bang Sara and do her events or you might lose some Sana events

i don't have much experience playing Ren'Py,
and some of i play is my choice or progress event doesn't matter.
my heart little hurt when i see Rin twice crying.
me playing this game by blindplay.
so i don't know that there's choice where we can see her broken heart just once.

now i guess the "goodhomie" code is make a sense. i thought that's just part of the story.
and
I'm already at chapter 2
should i use this code?
and replay the event it is gonna make some different story?

Did you keep any saves from before fingering Chika? You could always restart and just hold down the ctrl key to skip already read dialogue, I don't think it's too far into the game... It does change a pretty decent amount of dialogue.

You could also just edit the save with the universal renpy mod, or using a save edit website to change the value, and then replay the scenes (using goodhomie will mark your save as a cheater and we don't know if there will be something involving that in the future or not)

yeah a replay of the game with a skip button is your only real option for a clean save that doesnt require learning how to mod renpy files... unless you already know how to do Renpy save editor stuff (which I don't)
you can use the cheat commands i think on the computer but you get labeled as a cheater in the game. so far i think, only 2 additional screen slides have shown up mocking you for cheating so far with no impact on the story but that might not always be the case

if you do decide to replay up to this point I would suggest using the guide mod which will tell you the exact order to do things
AND
I would suggest the cheat mod on the 1st page of this thread. lets you set the girls stats so you dont have to grind

neither of which get you labeled as a cheater in the game, you have to use the in game computer to get that label.

this is all extremely interesting and thought-provoking. i like yumi's big sexy boobs
