Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.44.0] [Selebus]

[fdsasdf_p]

Not the first rain, there was one with Miku too.

Oh yea you’re right, and one with Uta as well now I realized; completely flew out of my mind
I guess this one stood out for me maybe because mysterious girls Maya and Kaori are in there, too.
Thanks for the correction!

Some previews to help confirm or dash the few predictions made for the next update. It's not all of them but the few I though were interesting.

I don't know how to feel/interpret Chika messing with the scarves and is that Kaori scene a possible follow-up to her leaving during the last reset where it was insisted "everything is fine" or is this related to what John was talking about?

Surprised that no one has questioned if the scarves are Ami's and Maya's and why they are there again for sale.

... I mean Japan is a capitalistic society where multiple articles of clothing tend to be mass produced before being put in shop windows... why would we question this?

Because the first time they appeared they were arbitrarily inserted into the shop by one of the gods in order to fuck with Maya?

Because in "Stray Cat" we learn that those 2 scarves are not supposed to be sold at that shop. Not listed in the inventory as said by the other employee who works at Les Vêtements. Also Maya's scarf was a gift from Akira before the time loop fuckery. And time loop fuckery!

Not the take I got regarding the scarves.
I took it as them always being there. The emotional impact for Maya is not the scarves but the fact sensei 'remembered'/stumbled into buying it for Maya which is the emotional significance of it. The scarf itself meant nothing when it was in the window or shop. Just another mass produced article of clothing. But the original sense before he was warped bought it for Maya at some point. Thousands of years later after sense was forced to forget about her he decided to do something nice for her and it just so happened to be the same nice thing he did so far in the past. Giving Maya hope he still remembers in some way.

Yeah, as Wardtnaci said there was a conversation with the non-Chika employee of the store about how she had no idea how they got they were and they weren't in the inventory - Sensei then attempted to haggle over the (made up) price.

Lol did the dev turn nuclear suddenly? Anyone have a tldr?

I'll be canceling my sub kek. This is so fucking childish honestly.

 

[BlackDays]

I hope you don't make your decisions up on just rumors.
At least you should know why things are how they are.

Nuclear, yes.
Suddenly, no.

Did something happen today? Was it on discord? I'm banned there so I can't check it out.

To my knowledge, no. I assumed it's someone who was out of the loop finding out about the DRM.

I mean, Ayane also managed to get a green scarf for herself afterwards for matching purpose (despite not being the exact same type as any of the two shown); the item itself may not carry as much weight, at least less than how they appeared the first time in Stray Cat.
(BTW I always thought the two mannequins with the green scarfs on were not mannequins but two angels standing still LOL)

Since the only person that has any emotional tie with the green scarf is Maya (not even Sensei before Stray Cat I think), so for now it’s hard to properly gauge how impactful or meaningful that event would be if it's just Chika in the scene, but I am for sure curious.

Unless the green accessory is somehow the key to get to the roof and fix everything; that would be anticlimactic for me

What's got me curious is are those scarves new or are they exact same one that were bought before. If they are the same one as before, it would mean that a reset claim them and brought them back. Now does that mean Akira has to buy them again, will he buy them again, asked to buy them, or or even want to. Is Maya's scarf that significant? Will this mean that other items lost to a reset will return? Like a certain blanket.

It was a former $100 patron who he was a dick to. Nothing to do with this site.

At the time, this site was instrumental in getting his supporters moved to SS, but what are we, elephants? Who needs a memory that long?

Wait what? This forum gut him deleted how?

Also, if I could suggest one thing it would be to add some sort of warning for choices that irrevocably change the outcome for a character. Like some times it's obvious but for example with Ami it very much is NOT. And playing without the wiki open locked me out of her route.
