1) Haha. I phrased my words in a very particular order for a purpose, russian speaking people will get what I meant, but the english speaking people will have no idea because there is no actual way to translate that cyrillic sentence. 2) Was it not you or someone else who said to email Good kid? I still remember telling someone that it will not work. I will use the same answer that I gave back then "they have people as staff that reads letters, emails, messages, the band members themselves would not respond or even read that shit, so there is no point to even try that", I think I gave that answer back then and I still stand by that answer even now. That is all I have to say. Have a nice year

Agreed. Not to avoid it. But more options are good and few writers are as capable as selebus would be at figuring out how.
I just hope the final version lets me reject ayane since i frankly dont like her much at all. She can be part of the story but i feel gross rewarding her for trying to replace my favorite girl and i hate her sub plotline and connection to the shapeshifter and how they act so above it all.
Also i hate the shapeshifter and if i have a choice to get rid of them in the full game oh boy you can bet i will.

Asking someone to catch a band after a concert off-guard to tell them about a porn game of a teacher fucking the teenage schoolgirls in his class is wild

I'm telling you, it's peak comedy today. Weren't the guys from that band the ones that contacted Selebus in the first place because they were fans of the game?
"How do you do fellow musicians? Totally radical concert by the by, but i have to inform you of some unsavory villain using your sweet tunes in his degenerate porn game *tips fedora*"
"Excuse me how the fuck did you break into this room?"

Hmm. I think the point of divergence IS important — but I guess we don’t have that information. And unless Maya-in-Heaven manages to stop crying long enough to share that, I don’t know how we’d find out
I see what you did there. lol
Big W if true tbh. People need to be more open about their interests.

Well, someone got their
Obscure reference, but everytime I see Nao-chan and her mugs I'm reminded of Muggy, from Old World Blues DLC for Fallout New Vegas.

Just to give my 5 cents on the Good Kid discussion:
I don't mind their music, it's quite alright actually. But it just felt like it doesn't fit the game, neither thematically, nor musically. It was just too wild, loud and distracting.
And the constant 4th wall breaking was cringe and needlessly broke immersion.
I treat the whole Imani Wars episode as a fever dream that never really happened.
Also:
One thing that always bugged me is that Prime Maya has supposed to have lived through thousands if not millions (!) of resets. And it has been repeated enough for me to assume this is not supposed to be treated as a hyperbole.
Now, I will just assume that Sel has not thought it through and my annoyance with this is futile. But there is simply no way that this would be anywhere near possible.
First off, having lived through millions, or even a few thousand, of resets, would make Maya's (mental) age exceed any human being by far. Not only would that have enormous negative effects to one's mental state (and by that I don't mean making Maya "cool and reserved" and somewhat arrogant and all-knowing), it would also make it near impossible for her to reliably remember anything about any previous resets, let alone small details like if Ami ever worked as a maid just once during the previous million timelines.
I just don't understand why Sel chose such a ridiculous amount, and again, if there is any indication that this is meant to be highly exaggerated, please let me know.
Because either, Prime Maya was actually massively mentally fatigued, to the point that she must have been probably hallucinating half of the time, as her capacity for retaining memories would have had to be exceeded at least tenfold. Or, it just felt like she lived through millions of resets, and actually there were only a couple hundred that lasted like 3 days (she did mention that she often just fucked the "bad" Akiras and made them disappear in front of her, I assume making people disappear liek that accelarated the resets? I might remember wrong) and maybe around 50 full on (almost) 1- school-year worth of resets. Which would still make her extremely frustrated and emotionally vacant, but at least to a realistic extent that would be plausible.
Unless those agonizing millions of resets... *puts tinfoil hat on*... made her into a makeshift god/timeless narrator. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also:
Huge if true. I always wondered if smaller musicians reach out to some of their favorite creators to be included without having to pay for licensing. Though I imagined it's more difficult when it's for an adult game, given that it could be more bad than good publicity.
I'm quoting you only symbolically, because the whole discussion "what does Prime Maya consider new" etc. brings me to a topic that I meant to bring up for the longest time:

Yo this is so good, I love Twin Peaks and David Lynch. Did you edit that Wrigley's gum package or did you find it somewhere?

No, I just put Himawari's face on it. I was also impressed by its quality.

The wording of "animal stretch goal" makes it sound like an animal is getting stretched rather than doing the stretching.
Which would mean that my man Noodles is finally getting his well deserved lewd scene with Akira. (orgasm scene excluded, that was just some light petting)

Maya Prime was actually considered "Broken beyond repair":

She was probably just so used to being insane that it became normal. For example, Himawari couldn't keep up with her mind:

Of course, she could just be programmed to think she's been around that long:

Then there is that whole MM note thing, which remains mysterious, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around her apparently triggering Psycho Ami, for centuries:

Then again there's always M̶a̶d̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ false memories, so... maybe that could explain some things.

I think Dean raises a good point, and it's something that I lightly touched upon when I talked about the philosophical implications of someone becoming someone else by losing their memories, to such an extent that it becomes a possible focus of discussion in a plot, but that I don't think Selebus intends to focus on.
DeSkel's explanation seems to be what's intended here: Maya Prime was broken, however that wreck was never meant to be seen by us in its true form, and very likely not even by her. I tend to think that it's either that her mind erased most of her memories naturally (for lack of capacity to hold them)/aided by her being unable to truly break since she's inside kumon-mi; or that she was tampered with by the mechanisms of the resets/makeshift gods (as Tsuneyo implies).
If Maya truly held to all those memories she'd have gone beyond the human condition a long time ago, as people simply cannot retain hundreds of years of memories. Borrowing from both time travel literature, as well as literature that portrays long-lived species such as elves and dragons, an often used explanation is that all those memories are there somewhere, but they get tossed into a sort of archived repository that isn't used in the day-to-day, like a locked partition. I also recall a story in which the immortal had thousands of notebooks about their own life, since they couldn't hold any memory over a thousand years of age (it'd be interesting if that's what's in her box, but no, that's unlikely for a variety of reasons).
On a final note, I'm pretty sure Maya said at one point that she didn't hold that many memories. Like, she remembered overall important points, but everything else became a blur. Which would be a fair explanation for it. But I don't recall when she said this, so it might be my imagination.
You know. Ill give it to this game. Ive never been much for feelings.
But ive found a new one. I didnt think i would ever feel homicidal rage. Let alone towards a bunch of fake gods just as fake as the ones we make up here.
Some things are just wrong. Ive seen actual crimes that have evoked a fraction of the agony ive just felt. And yet i yearn to devour more if only to see if one day even these shitty spectators might get what they deserve.
