Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

[barglenarglezous]

There is a lot more than that, the chart is really annoying honestly. Why are there so many to remember instead of agreeing on one.

We couldn't share information as easily in the pre-internet days as we can now. Countries were more or less creating these systems in a vacuum.

Hell, rotary phones didn't even work the same way in every country. Each number dialed sends a set number of pulses, but in some countries, 1 sent 1 pulse and 9 sent 9 pulses, and in others, 1 sent 9 pulses and 9 sent 1 pulse.

Modern (post-internet) globalisation has changed how new systems are developed so that they're more standardized, but those old existing systems are so entrenched that changing them would be dangerous. The sheer expense of "911 is now 000" marketing to make sure everybody knows about the change alone ensures that no country will risk it.

How many times am I gonna hear about this horny ball of light? Is repetition also part of the existential horror nonsense? I mean it could be but I don't think I would forget this little detail nor do I think it's absurd enough to give me any kind of existential dread.

Now that's an awful lot of wires. I'm starting to think wires are indeed important to the story somehow. I mean, even if I wasn't told that which I was, the number of mentions are suspicious.

Well, literally both of them are related to gods. Idk which ones but a few early happy events tells you a story about 3 gods

I'm sure if you were playing this blindly, you may have no idea what to do with that IP address.

You wouldnt know what to do half the game xdd

I don't remember seeing an argument for this, can you explain or point me to a post that goes into more detail?

For what it's worth, the name of the slumber party event is misleading. The party itself and the reset happen on the night of Dec 30.

Spoiler: December 28, 2020 (Clay & Clockwork)

I can make an in depth post as I run into the event on my playthrough (it's a little off still). I tried to search it myself, but unfortunately it seems I haven't made one yet.

Until then, one evidence can be gathered from your own post:

Spoiler: December 28, 2020

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

it can interpreted this way: "today is december 28th, 2020 - because the calendar has run out of pages. Because that is the last day of the calendar. Thus the day of the first reset on Terminal 23."

Then, the event takes place on december 28 because it's always december 28, even if it is two days after it. The days in Kumon-mi, as the passage of time, are fictional - in the real world it's always dec 28, they never left. No one ages, nothing changes, and even when they do, it reverts back.

One piece of evidence isn't conclusive enough, obviously. But I'll take a look at it again as I catch up to it.

fdsasdf_p is correct though, thanks for the clarification. My japanese isn't good enough to read it at a glance, and I didn't want to bother my japanese friends.

I'm hammered, and so missed all the above conversation

Who else got new year hammered and is just waiting?

And about the fucked up time... what about the events? Surely, everyone talked about this before, but, who decide when Christmas happen? Or Halloween? Nobody give us a day, a month or something else...
Also, we did have a Christmas during summer, if my memory don't fail me. And in the next update, it will be during spring, right after Halloween...

I have work so can't get New Year Hammered till Monday, did buy Sake while looking for Bailey's S'mores and finally found one I actually like. Monday I'm off so gotta go to the gym, find the S'mores, pick up some TCG cards and ice cream, figure out food then countdown till next LiL update and New years. Woot \(^_^)/

Edit - Think I'll just add this here instead of making a new post but looking through Sel's requested fanart some of them are really good, some a bit freaky weird, but loving the Gravure Sets, Tokua, Rin, and Miku's being standout.

You've managed to have your event two days before the relevant party so it kind of fits.

Don't overthink it, obviously kumon mi is transported from the southern or northern hemisphere to give you the correct weather for the event.

The next two days don't actually seem to change the date, as it's still said to be Dec 28th during 'Untitled':

Time passing seems arbitrary at best, and possibly dangerous based off Nodoka's reaction:

I want to ask a question about Maya.

Sensei likely just blacked out and raped her. She mentions that he tore her costume off and he's literally pinning her down.

so.. I think I'm a bit over halfway through chapter 3 and I have some thoughts considering the future.

edit: also Akira is like omega fucked once the dam breaks, the dam is starting to show cracks and some things are already spilling out, but soon it will break and all will suffer because of it.

Personally, I find it to be a bit more of a tug of war than anything else, I won't elaborate due to spoilers but there's some lines to say the Rooftop Apocalypse Squad actually does have some power over things, but not a lot.

More importantly however, it seems the loops are incredibly unstable, I think even the gods don't have proper control over it and it's why the rules get a bit wavey from time to time.

IMO, its more likely that the loops will break due to something simply collapsing, like a domino effect of "that's not supposed to happen".

Maya makes a lot of mention about how things are starting to get unpredictable and weird, she becomes scared and pushy because it's no longer predictable, the rules changed rapidly in a short time and a big part of her character arc was this tension of no longer feeling safe.

They might not need more strength than a GOD, a few pushed buttons could destroy the whole thing, or so it seems.

Yeah that is something I did realize but didn't think of when I was writing. But there's also something else I noticed which is that the reset events are getting more... involved? In the sense that someone or something DOESN'T want Akira to make it to the reset. Or is at the very least happy to fuck with him relentlessly when the time comes.

also whoops on Haruka but I can't say I didn't see this one coming

what... I'm scared. ok that's just a real photograph of the ideal male living space.

You may want to consider waiting for a very specific save or setting a particular variable via URM, there's a happy event that you could knock out while doing this one at the same time. Or do you have a save that's played through 0.45's content?

 

[VoidExile]

Give her more headpats.

Can't yet, but I will be sure to give her 500 headpats when I get there.

Please do not screw someone's daughter...

Breaking news! Birth rate drops to 0!

"Do you two need me to watch you try on swimsuits as well?"

Uhhh I feel like I need more information to go off of but if you mean there's something specific I need to do in that happy event I don't think I'm opposed to knowing what that would be. I'm still on my first playthrough so I don't have a completed save.
