Since I have a 4K screen and when I play the game it looks blurry and kind of bad, I decided to try and upscale it
The results were pretty good I'd say

I also did some quick math:
It would take my computer roughly 3-4 days to upscale all current images except for things a like menus thumbnails etc - events and miscellaneous basically, animations not included
It would also bring the total size up to ~130GB if I do not compress it in any way
I might actually do it once the game is finished (ha!) or when I get some more time and decide to play it from the beginning again, though probably not within the next several years due to my current life situation.
Either way, have a nice day.

I had a similar thing while playing Signalis. There is a puzzle in which you need to know what Pareidolia is. When I got to it I thought to myself "All the talk of perception and pareidolia in LiL has trained me for this very moment".
I actually highly recommend that game. Its a bit hard to explain why, but If you like LiL for a lot of the same reasons I do, mainly to do with the way things are presented to you I guess. Perhaps you would also like Signalis as much as I do. It's really a masterpiece in my opinion. Out of everything I have ever played I am tempted to call it my favourite, but the nostalgia buff some other games have makes that hard to do.

In post nut clarity event Akira says the shopping doesn't have to be on her bday. That's what leads me to think it'll be a main or her events in several months.
I think even Nodoka would answer to the name Ami just to be annoying.

Bro, Signalis is a masterpiece. The soundscape, graphics, ambient storytelling, deep themes. 10/10, loved every minute of it. That three tone “boop, boop, beep” just pops up in my head from time to time out of nowhere, and I feel nostalgic every time.

I legit loved the game so much that after I got 100% completion I purchased It 3 more times because I wanted the devs to get more money out of me than the previous $70 slop game I had played. And that's not something I have ever felt like doing before.

Hell yeah, man. First thing I did after beating it was watch a multi hour long breakdown of the lore and it was glorious.
I wish LiL was more socially acceptable content, so we had people like our resident lore masters making 15 part 6 hour videos of the lore on YouTube for it. I’d eat that shit up.

If I understand correctly, you are proposing that since Tsuneyo got weird after almost poking her nose into a reset set up by Pareidolia, what gibberish Tsuneyo said afterward was actually her own part of the trial. Hence, the "seeing with your eyes closed" she brought up would have to come directly from Pareidolia.
(I'll ignore the Sekaori part and Wires clawing his way out part as they provide nothing to the context above. Unless you can articulate on how they can prove/disprove anything, they remain something that did happen but were unrelated)
First is that we don't know if those unsettling questions really come from Tsuneyo's personal reset5 or if personal trial really is a thing even. Girls that haven't become a RAS member can barely recall events immediately before a reset with zero discrepancy, let alone remembering something during a reset. The way I see it, it's closer to Tsuneyo trying to dig up sensitive information but being stopped supernaturally. This absolves the necessary involvement of Pareidolia in the matter, as things go from "Tsuneyo reciting her trial questions prepared by Pareidolia" to "Tsuneyo being halted by a certain divine power".
I am not saying my interpretation is more correct and I am not saying that the aforementioned certain divine power cannot be Pareidolia (though I will say that it's very unlikely to be Pareidolia considering its performance in TH15 15NT ME; the third god clearly has little to no power here in Tojo Ramen). The point is, the necessary bridge that connects "seeing with your eyes closed" and Pareidolia is not the only option on the table and is far from being the most possible one either. I personally get fixated on this type of thing frequently because most of the time we only have moon logic or false causality to back ourselves up whenever we claim A is connected to B, all because this fucking game won't give any clear hint. The least I'd do is to make sure that what is proposed is either the only possibility or the most possible option by a significant margin, and I don't see that being the case here.
Second is that, are we 100% sure that reset5 is hosted by Pareidolia? Did I overlook something? Is it because of Sekai hiding on the roof right before reset5 ended? (which, by the by, is something I also don't understand. How does this Pareidolia-Sekai connection come to be?)
To me Untitled reeks of HOPE. We have: youdidit, amiokay, we have that warning of "taking something that does not belong to you before the summer end". All of these are heavily associated with HOPE, not just in wishful symbolism but in actual context. One really needs to really get around these before certifying Pareidolia's presumed presence in Untitled.
TLDR is that I think your argument doesn't really bring "seeing with your eyes closed" and Pareidolia any closer and makes the phrase become a saying exclusive to the third god, which is all I am on about. I don't think it is impossible for a previous "seeing with your eyes closed" and Pareidolia to coincide, but that never guarantees "as soon as we see this phrase, it means Pareidolia is in the play".

Damn, you guys convinced me to try out Signalis in just three short posts, luckily enough I haven't been spoiled about it, I saw it show up a few times. Whenever I finish it, I'll say my review of it.
Edit: I should've clarified, whenever I get that game, I'm going to be making logs every 30 minutes in my notepad, afterwards, at the end I make a review. Basically delayed offline reaction.

Obligatory lore shadow
I think the main thing which may differentiate our analysis is that I perceive an immense love from Selebus for his characters. Although they go through horrible things, that is because he is under the belief that people need to go through horrible things to grow. A very classic thesis:antithesis situation where the thesis is strengthened by the antithesis. Furthermore, the dev commentary shows that Selebus relates to Rin's depression, and Futaba's lack of self-worth; it is unlikely to me he would be disparaging them as galley slaves when he is using them to tell his own story indirectly. It's for this reason I would also expect the love for characters to be a representation of self-love, and this self-love could crystalize in a certain wholeness of being coming about.
(Note: A very fascinating bit of psychology is that self-hate is closely related to self-love. Often those who proclaim to hate themselves, in fact, love themselves more than anything; even someone utterly convinced they hate themselves may in fact be total narcissists. Not to lobby that accusation at Selebus, just it's something to keep in mind; irony is, after all, the song of a prisoner who has come to love their cage, and when trapped in a prison it's hard not to develop intense affection for all its nuances.)
Honestly, re:Lolita, I seem to recall Selebus saying he hates reading books and hasn't read a book in like 10 years (due no doubt to his aphantasia), so I shy away from intensely literary reads like this one. It would not surprise me if when literature comes up in LiL it was researched lightly beforehand on Wikipedia rather than being based on his own reading. Which, I really want to stress, is not an insult or backhanded spite from me; it's important for a character like Nodoka to be making literary references and allusions, and if he doesn't have that knowledge off-hand it's good to research it. Anyway, therefore I would be pretty stunned if there was any amount of thought put into LiL being a 'visualization of Nabokov's literacy tools and manipulation,' although the comparisons are definitely there for us to read into. (And let there be egg on my face if this read is totally off.)
That said, I haven't read Invitation to a Beheading, and that sounds fascinating. Will definitely read it - thanks for bringing it up. Actually, it seems so similar I might really have egg on my face regarding the above comment. This reminds me of the story The Egg by Weir which I was convinced was the Egg allusion in LiL until I discovered it was actually a Wonder Egg Priority reference. Check out its plot to get very anxious very fast.
As for Maya, we must understand that Selebus loves cats. I myself didn't really understand all the allusions to Maya being a 'stray cat' in Kumon-mi and stuff. If I were to turn a cat into an anime girl, I would not know where to begin: what behaviors she would display, what the allegory would be, etc. It's only because Selebus loves cats so much and has such a deep affinity for them that he could craft Maya as a cat-figure, and I start to understand her role as the cat who sticks with Sensei no matter how depressed he gets, etc. Therefore I would be quite surprised if he had any 'malice' for her. But I may just be dull to these things.
