Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.48.0] [Selebus]

[elricsecret]

I found something mildly interesting: there are a few times that dialogue is redacted in the game, but can actually be seen in comments in the script itself. I wouldn't be surprised if this was already known, but a rudimentary thread search didn't turn up anything.

The last one is somewhat interesting to me, since it confirms that Sara told the truth when she said that her "hallucinations" stopped at some point - but now they've started again and she's hiding that fact.

I wonder if there's a reason that Selebus chose these three scenes in particular out of all of the many instances of redacted dialogue. Is this related to the self-referential narrative of the game Lessons in Love as it exists within the story? (probably not)

Finally, here's a fun little Easter egg that also involves a comment.

I'm pretty sure these are the only interesting comments in the files, I searched for them after stumbling across the one in "Goodnight".

Wasn’t he a stabbing victim? Though I don’t quite remember when it’s talked about. But I’m pretty sure it wasn’t suicide. But as for gods talking to all of the Sakakibaras, it seems likely, yeah.

 

[alteros]

does using URM trigger the cheater flag? I'd probably only use it for the 3000 ayane lust things because that sounds ridiculous

 

[shmurfer]

I find it interesting that Rin is somewhat disappointed when he chooses Molly. I wonder if Rin has an internal battle about it because she's not attracted to Molly and she thought maybe she would win over Molly or something. I dunno, her look doesn't explain much else.

It's explained in the dialogue. Rin's face is more neutral immediately after the choice (while maya's face drops a little immediately) until she mentions the talks she'd had with Sensei where she's given up on IRL love. There's a little guilt there.

I wish Maya's reaction to being chosen would have been less toxic and more everything else.

Maya's whole deal during all the resets has been trying to lay low and get the Sensei's and other girls to ignore her. 'You're' putting an annoying amount of spotlight on her even if things are already off the rails.

Also, yeah, when Rin goes down bad for someone, she goes down bad HARD.

Yes, he was walking home and was just attacked. It's like Sana's second to last Ch2 event where it's explained.

Not inherently, URM itself will never trigger cheater flags. Now if you make a change that Sel suspects to be URM only (Or gets lazily anal about certain stats being too high too quickly) nothing's stopping him for putting a check for that during a random update.

Unless you're committing to editing the value to 3000 and keeping it at least that high, you should probably just read the dialogue, then roll back to what you'd normally get. You're much more likely to get hit by a cheater check if you have flags for event paths that you lack the flags to have reached in the first place.

So far the only uses of the cheater flag I know of are actually using the cheats in the cheat menu. There were mentions of it being set the Ch1 Himawari event but those turned out to only be if you had edited your stats using the cheats to view the option in the first place.

This is pretty cool! Too bad Selly didn't do the same for Noriko's bean spilling, Niki's massive redacted dialogue, and the mysterious severed connection during Yasu's flashback. The first two are fine. We have a vague idea about what Noriko was talking about, and we have a clear idea about what Niki was doing there; the surprises here won't be big if present. However, I would really want to know the sweet specifics regarding what Touka disclosed that warranted a connection severed.

Or, maybe it was not the information Touka was relaying, but instead it was the act of "wasting time" on HOPE's disciple that prompted the connection severed, as it is apparent that there was a divine wrestling happening here. Still, getting more details and some endorsed confirmations would be great too, especially considering the fact that what happened in An Apple Each Day was a censoring Sensei himself was acutely aware of (iirc also the only one) instead of the usual Sensei mentally blocking it out or censoring intended for the viewers.

I am guessing Selly only did these during his early days then changed his mind, and/or only did these for something that wasn't going to be too much of a reveal. Otherwise every time we see a shit ton of underscores we will immediately know where Selly buries his secret stash and I bet he hates that.

oh mb I completely forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.
Has anyone developed a good theory about who might have stabbed Sara's son and why?

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

Honestly I've grown to dislike light pollution, even tho I don't spend much time outside and even tho I don't really look up too much, it's still mildly annoying when I look up and see a couple tiny dots here and there. Maybe that's normal that you can actually see anything at all, but I kinda wish I could look up and see gas formations and thousands of stars instead of like 5-20 or whatever it is here. How are you gonna develop an interest for star gazing when there are barely no stars to be seen, huh?

Same here. Let's move to forest together.

And I feel like you need a bit of Genshin lore knowledge to understand Futaba's choice... Ganyu chocking a monster to death because her hips are too wide.

god damn it, I forgot about this, lmao

Yeah, I'm lost on this one. Any input?

Well, it won't spoil anything, but Rin will always have outfits that is hugging her figure very much.

And answer to another dude:

I think it is not important to know who was that because why would we care about WHO did this and WHY. The important thing that he is dead now. Nothing more.

Sara's terribly named son getting shanked is just like the space war. Its just there for narrative purposes. It doesn't hold any significance, other than to make Sana and Sara sad sometimes.

Unless:
1) Yuki needed drug money
2) That version of Akira was ghey and Ami got jealous
3) He ran into Nodoka's knife. He ran into Nodoka's knife ten times.
4) Something something Yakuza something
5) He cockblocked Noodles
