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.View attachment 2321663
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 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 peopleIIRC, 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 had forgotten about this one. I remember the controvery over the interpretation, though. I'm pretty sure you're right about the reference.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
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'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.
yes...
some spoilerish advice

For now only a missed event and some changes in dialog, may have some more consequences later.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Rin and Karin are not the same person.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
i don't have much experience playing Ren'Py,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.
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.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?
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)i don't have much experience playing Ren'Py,

I see, a person of class and culture, one who is deep into intellectual pursuits like the rest of the people that come to this sitethis is all extremely interesting and thought-provoking. i like yumi's big sexy boobs
... i have no clue how to save editOof yeah, reading through this, I'm just contemplating if it's worth going all the way back to not miss the event with Rin aka fingering Chika before the beach. I'm already at the to be continued part, over 70 pages of saves, so I don't think even the CRTL skipping will be enough inspiration. It does suck, wish I knew what I was doin there
pretty sure you would end up editing your most current save, then you go and watch the missed events in the event tracker so you dont have to play anything again... never done it before, but that is what makes most sense to meIf there's a way to do it that would be epic. Staring at my earliest save file before Schadenfruede, which is on page 12 out of, I just checked, 80. That would be a life saver lol. Would it also impact the rest of the saves so you can get the events?
for that specific mistake... i think those are the only two events you out right miss, but the tone of every other rin event is changed, basically you are a peice of shit and got talked about like shit and i have no clue if that ever changes. only ever explored the consequences of that on a surface levelAlso, is there anything major you miss? (Besides rinevents, pains me seeing those two red lines through her missed events), stuck between actually going all the way back or just awaiting next update. Game had gotten me real invested. After missing hers been trying to get everything else
