Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.45.0] [Selebus]

[Apollo259]

"Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death 'got saves' and 'why game not on latest updates page' questions. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle...and wonder if we'll ever get the chance to kill him super glue an A2 page sized screenshot of the search function including a large arrow onto his forehead."
—2B, probably.

Just somewhat came to mind, but based off what Maya Prime has claimed:

The likelihood of these seemingly alternate timelines having a Sensei and Ami not sleeping together seems incredibly unlikely.

Or at least part of her costume is. The shirt and pajamas aren't, I don't follow why she'd have them at the party.

Nice catch, but do you or does anyone remember when Ami (or any other girls) ever wore that pinkish hoodie-jacket-pajamas?

The "blue collar" T-shirt looks like a classic gym outfit, but what layers on top of it isn't Ami's any sleepwear. I checked Ami's events and events of any other girls that might wear something pink and found nothing. I also checked each character's wiki gallery section and still found nothing (though I can tell it isn't complete for some girls despite being up to date). But still, this piece of clothing feels so goddamn familiar...

This is apparently not a task for someone who has no sense or taste in fashion.

This picture scares me a lot.

only noticed after playing second time with different choices but apparently current last Rin event kinda broken cuz she talk about "fckn Chika" before she confessed even if you seen ALL of her events which mean you didnt seen Chika events before Rin ones. strange

do you mean bad homie is triggered before Akira fingers Chika?

What should happen is that if you finger Chika before Rin's confession, you trigger bad homie. If you wait for the confession to do "schadenfreude", then you're good homie.

Kissing Chika when you take her home is irrelevant to the homie situation as Rin never knows about it (that I recall, maybe it's mentioned during the beach trip but not to the point where she cared? I'm curious now).

Edit: or do you mean that a recent Rin event is reading you triggering bad homie, even though you triggered good homie? In this case, you could check with URM and correct your flag.

May or may not be related to these future Maya events, but to me "Wake Up" packs a lot more punches than the already very foreboding "My Story" because of a memorable moment during a reset that happens to have Maya in it.

It was only at this later stage in the game that I realized that a good portion of the in-game gibberish is actually decipherable instead of something resulted from ramming your forehead against the keyboard. Suddenly being able to understand what zdnh xs meant solely by context must've given me an everlasting impression.

In that specific event Sensei is telling her to wake up in order to escape the nightmare version of the past that she's trapped in during the reset. It's possible the same thing is happening to all of the RAS this time, with each of them having to wake up to return to the "true" timeline.

It's also possible there's a bigger meaning, since "waking up" has been tied to being aware of and/or escaping from the simulation, most obviously by the crying AmIOkay (who might be Maya Prime) in "The Room With Clocks":

But still, this piece of clothing feels so goddamn familiar...

I also thought it looked familiar and spent a while looking without finding anything. I think it might just be the similarity to some other pieces of clothing - Kirin wears a pink hoodie without a pattern sometimes, Chika has a pink shirt that also has (different colored) stars on it, and Molly's pajamas are a similar t-shirt and hoodie combo (with completely different colors).

I wouldn't have expected this version of Ami to show up in an Ayane event, but it does kind of look like she's delivering a soliloquy "to camera" while possibly wearing someone else's clothes. Or who knows, maybe it's even Himawari wearing (partially) Ami's clothes.

are you guys ready to open the door ?

that the thing, I waited specifically on Chika events this run and sav Rin confession event first before doing Chika events aka I have 0 missed events with Rin yet she still say same lines she said in my other save where I triggered bad homie flags specifically unlike in this one with good homie flags yet line about fingering Chika before confession still present and the only difference was that I didn't made deal with Otoha in current save about photo exchange

I assume you're talking about the event in which Rin confronts you about the photo exchange. Played it just now and it's fine, game recognized my good homie flag no issues. If it wasn't a mistake on your part, all I can think of is that for some reason something broke in the update with regards of giving the proper badhomie/goodhomie flag early on, but I'd have to replay that segment.

There's not much difference. Which is very fair because the homie situation is kind of a minor thing with everything that happened between them after that. Rin wasn't there for him during a long period, so really, the homie thing just means that Rin was either a bad friend (matching him in how Akira was bad first) or an even worse friend (because Akira treated her the best out of everyone thus far, and she'd have let him down first in this case) in the long run.

However, since I had to replay the event for this, let me just say this is one of the hottest conversations in the game, courtesy of green path:

*sigh* probably update just broke at some point but anyway. and to answer second question I'm not selebus but just remember how long it took to have proper first events for Molly and Sana and you will have answer

Sensei Quest tickled my pickle.
Not in a good way.

I'll take a pack of whatever drugs Yasu is taking if it can help me forget how awful it was. It has to be a bait for later from Selebus; to call you a nerd before deleting your save in an uncoming event if you used URM or something.

Otherwise glad I waited two years to play it again, it took me a bloody month to catch up. 11/10, would drink myself into a coma if it could delete my memories of this game and it's horrors entirely.

This is a horrid time to stop playing. You've just had half of the halloween update, next update which is just about a week away promises to be a story banger based on where part 1 ended, the previews we've seen and the event titles. Surely stick around for this next update.

And then if you can manage another update (which will drop start of January) you get to find out whether Selebus is going to take the step of risking his money via wizard content or if he's gonna bait people. Whether you want the content or not, surely that fact is worth watching, at least from the sidelines.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure as hell gonna stay. I'm in too deep to leave this boat just yet. I have to see where it's going to sink lmao.

Still, I really appreciate the encouragments, guv. I hope you'll stick around too (or free yourself from it, whatever suits you the most)

 

[Wormav]

the funny part is; you think there a way from this timelooped world but the thing is there is not, we stuck with it until end if we gonna see it someday cuz otherwise our curiosity will literally kill us.

Selebus could also just stop making it.

yeh that the hard part. cuz we know he do some stuff just to spite us.

I've been away from LiL for a while waiting for this update so I'm only now just caught up to everything.

Just wanted to say this because I didn't see anyone mention it, in the Wakana event "Follow My Lead" the "jaws of life" simile setting him off particularly surprised me. I'm pretty sure at this point Wakana can put two and two together about Ami's mom but without direct confirmation it's just speculation on her end. Also Sensei says he can't fully trust Wakana because she's not naïve like the JKs he's pursuing, and that makes me think he might not be able to fully trust any adult figure.
