Last thing I say on the matter since clearly most people don't care. "Gaelic" is not Irish. "Gaelic" is Scots. They share roots but are not the same thing. Some people in the North consider themselves "just Irish", but it's way, way less. It's not surprising that you wouldn't know anyone who thinks of themselves as British, as generally NI is very separate from the rest of the UK (and largely ignored by the UK). But they tend to think of themselves as "Northern Irish", as there's a pretty radical divide from the rest of the country.
It probably doesn't matter to you guys, but there was an extremely bloody civil war that ended in the 90s over this. Brexit has a very real chance of restarting the war. There is quite literally a giant section of Belfast that seals off from the rest of the city every night in order to stop people lobbing explosives at "the other guys". The current state of the border is "strained". It is not possible to grow up in any part of Ireland and not know about the Troubles, and the fact that the IRA still exist.

Do what you want, just know that this is exactly what Irish people make fun of Americans who claim to be "irish ancestry" about.
It's not that people don't care. It's that we don't agree with your very pessimistic view of NI.

50% of people in Armagh consider themselves Irish first (as opposed to British or Northern Irish) by the most recent polling data. So I don't accept that your can hand wave this as "some" - this is the majority. And even if it was only "some" I am telling you that my lived experience is that there are people from the North who are card carrying, Murphys drinking, shillelagh toting, souless ginger, Irish nationalists. People who act and sound like the stereotype when they're out on the town.

Republican (majority catholic) Northerners consider themselves Irish - that's the whole damn point of the troubles. If they didn't think of themselves as Irish there would be no need for a damn border poll to be written into the Good Friday Agreement. You need to go visit some Ulster Scots if you don't think anyone up there thinks they're British.

I was in NI in the 90's (I can assure you it is no fun to have to check under your car before every trip because it is English plated and there might be a damn bomb under it). Post Good Friday NI is nothing like it was then. I'd never have goine into the Bogside back then. Kids growing up post '98 are living in a very very different time.

If you want to continue to believe that the IRA are still a thing (outside of some nutters calling themselves some variant of the "real" or "continuation" IRA) you're welcome to do so. But its people who think like that who are holding reconciliation back. Luckily the kids think of themselves as Irish and are willing to move on.

And for the record Gaelic is a pretty common English language term for the language called Gaeilge, Ie the Irish Language.

What's the correct way to react to japanese and cyphered messages in happy scenes? Should I go and translate them every time?
It's not required to decode all the hexcodes and japanese text but you can look up the wiki page with the translations

Probably a typo on the actual character who got the kiss. High likelyhood

is another red flag event like Chika was earlier. Need to make a new safety save.
There's no guarantee that it is, we could just be unnecessarily wary because of what happened the last time this situation came up, which was the beach event. That said, it is likely and being wary of the possibility is warranted, just don't get too worked up over it or you'll go in expecting it to happen and, should it not, you will end up disappointed or relieved, which likely depends on whether you like being locked out of potential moments of affection.

Example, I recently went into the latest episode of Redo of Healer fully expecting a brutal revenge rape because of the content of this episode, I was severely disappointed. They showed it to an extent, but not enough to show the true gravity of both the rape that caused the revenge rape and the revenge rape itself.

In other words, prepare for the worst possible scenario Selebus can throw at us, but don't get your hopes too high in case his plans don't include that scenario.

That said, knowing Selebus, he will deliver.

By the way, is there a reason why birthdays letter "M" is faded in girls "profile"? Chika's, Molly's and Io's birthdays to be exact.

While I agree that the potential is there, the circumstances are very different, and I don't feel it has a high likelihood of having the same severity of reaction. The girl in question is in a very different place than the original situation referenced, and there is no promise beyond one of concealment made. Furthermore, the girl who may have hard feelings has stated other interests as well.

Currently regathering the courage to play this game again for the first time in a while. Can't play it as jerkoff material because it's scary as shit sometimes, and can't play it as a horror game because little waifus. It's a cold world we're living in.

I personally play this game to feel things. What things? I never know when I start a play session.

One session I might laugh my ass off. Another I might cry my eyes out and be pretty damn depressed to the point that I can't sleep that night. Another I might get diabetes from how sweet it is. But that's kinda the appeal to me. The writing is good enough that I'm probably gonna feel something, and I'm (probably) gonna enjoy it.

Haven't been a whole lot of scary scenes recently though. Honestly, after the first couple HAPPY events, there really isn't that much traditional horror in the game. It's more wondering WTF is really going on and worrying for the girls. At least to me. Horror is very subjective.

Looks like a glitch? I don't know why it's even doing that. Here's the code for Chika's birthday:
Python:
text ("{color=#AF7F00}Birthday: May 9th{/color}") style "profile"
And the code for style "profile":
Python:
style profile:
    size 55
    #font "yugothm.ttc"
    font "hellowins.ttf"
    outlines [ (absolute(2), "#000", absolute(0), absolute(0)) ]
Note that the first font choice "yugothm.ttc" is commented out, so shouldn't do anything.

As far as I can tell, there isn't any reason the M should appear different from the other letters. Especially compared to the other girls' profiles, since it's the same code. Here's Makoto:
Python:
text ("{color=#3c55fa}Birthday: December 9th{/color}") style "profile"
Only thing different are the color code (which is perfectly normal and valid) and the month/day being displayed (which shouldn't change anything).

For the cyphered messages you should use a hexadecimal decoder. As for the japanese texts, i cannot help you.
~And because it seems that i missread your comment, translate the aformentioned texts to your heart's content.

Oh no, don't be fooled, this is a Denpa game and this is the dark path of the game, so it will likely be the worst possible outcome. We have no idea how long she has felt this way, which was why the other was so severe, because the feelings had been building for years. It could actually be worse than the last time, not by much, of course, given they would need to be older for that to work, but a few more years is all it takes to make a potential problem exponentially worse.

She won't go into near suicidal depression, of course, only one character has that issue, but she could very well take it out on player Sensei and it WILL NOT be pretty if and when she does assuming she ever even realizes he's involved with the other girl and that the other girl doesn't like her, which can be taken as being due to player Sensei's influence just like the previous iteration of the scenario we may be getting ready to see unfold.

Of course, keep in mind that these are all theories at this point based on what little is known and things can and probably will change between now and when the time comes to find out.

At least it isn't Ami, the thought of that scares me given her reactions to just having other girls over to see player Sensei at all.

Three things happened in my 0.13.0 part 2 run.

I laughed at the intense built in advertising in the one event for a certain mobile game, totally didn't expect to see that happen and it was hilarious just how much Selebus and the characters involved were getting into hard sell.

I felt an incredible level of happiness in my final event of the build, Rin's final event, because not only have I been awaiting the day that finally came, but it was the most satisfying moment in LiL history in how it was portrayed.

But then the third thing, I felt my heart break because I knew that happiness had come with an imminent and very high cost, but I swear that sacrifice will not be in vain.

text ("{color=#AF7F00}Birthday: May 9th{/color}") style "profile"

How odd, it looks just fine according to my general coding knowledge, but maybe someone with more Python oriented knowledge can spot the issue. I do not see any reason it should be doing that, either.

They are very different characters, and there have been other things that have happened that could have had worse outcomes but didn't. We'll have to agree to disagree, here.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's not possible - Selebus likes to keep everyone guessing, after all. It just seems like the chances of ruining your relationship is significantly slimmer here to me.

There's a part of me that wants to see Ami walk in on Sensei having sex with either Makoto or Ayane, actually, I want to see her walk in on Sensei having sex with anyone.

As for Molly... *(sighs)* Being a Bad Homie could work in Molly's favor, but being a Good Homie might just break her heart.

It might just be an issue with the way your computer is displaying the font, cause it look normal for me.

Unless Selebus went really out of his way to hide the code, there's nothing in there to cause just the capital M to appear different.

Yeah, that looks different from mine.
may.png
(Taken from 0.13.0 part 2. Same version I took the code above from)

While he could have hidden that in the code, I can't think of a reason to have done that and (no offense Selebus) he seems to still be fairly new at coding. I mean, this abomination was in the Kirin event where you give her a nickname to call you:
Python:
    #if kirinmaster == "Onii-chan" or kirinmaster == "onii-chan" or kirinmaster == "Oniichan" or kirinmaster == "oniichan" or kirinmaster == "Big brother" or kirinmaster == "big brother" or kirinmaster == "Big Brother" or kirinmaster == "Big bro" or kirinmaster == "Big Bro" or kirinmaster == "big bro":
    if kirinmaster.lower() in ["onii-chan", "oniichan", "big brother", "big bro"]:
        s "Call me [kirinmaster] from now on."
Thankfully he did learn the infinitely better way to code it and commented out the other attempt, but he's clearly still learning and I doubt he'd go through the trouble of hiding that method of formatting the M differently. Much more likely it's a glitch of some sort.

That's what I thought about the whole Chika thing, then came the news that it would have consequences. I knew the game would have consequences from the start, what I did not know until Selebus pulled that lockout was that the consequences were as severe as they were. Selebus does like to keep everyone guessing, you're right on that, which is why theories like mine pop up.

I can see the knife in her hand and the blood on her clothes now, bodies strewn about the room with 28 stab wounds each and the house set ablaze to take her and player Sensei with her.

:oops: you monster...at least you can't hold her hand. :p (I am now very tempted to make a still render in the studio with exactly that going on)

I didn't even consider fonts, that was stupid of me. That's usually the issue with weird text display problems.

So, knowing the consequences that may show up, did you romance Ami or no?
Yes, I did. At least consequences for romancing her don't include her potentially going yandere. That is a very real possibility with literally every other girl.
