The scene commentary for Times New Roman is out on the website

Commentary on Times New Roman is a surreal experience.
I didn't cover the whole thing, obviously. But those were the parts I felt deserved commentary. Also, that bit in the end, it really reminds you of how Selebus is a true artist. God bless him.

WAIT did Selebus just reveal what the resets are through his care packages of mini Akira??
So, is the reset mechanic making a wish? Was that what Maya did? She hugged him, and made a wish to start over? More importantly, was that what the original reset was? Akira made a wish to start over after/when he jumped to his death? and that activated the Wishing Well mechanic?
On another note, I'm Wakana when dealing with children

It left me with more questions. Who is the Voice Over PA? Are the commentaries actually an in-universe thing (as much as the author existing in a work can be)?
I have the feeling at least that segment is kinda Steins;Gate-y, and he just gave up. As shown in the roof, none of the others knew how to reset, it was Big Boi who actually did it. Without Maya, and without him to act as a lightning rod for Big Boi, I guess whatever happened in the reset just passed them over, and life moved on. But he didn't.

If NTR is such a concern, the problem isn’t with games, it’s with insecure men being possessive and unhealthy.

Interesting! What types of scenes do those names affect? Is there full list?
I named mc "Old sport" for Maki and thought "hmm, something's not right", lol.
The truth is, the only one being NTRed in this game is the player.

‚Results indicate that men from polygynous families are more likely than their counterparts from monogamous families to be unemployed and to suffer from a myriad of psychological problems, including anxiety, depression, somatization, and psychotism. Moreover, men from polygynous families are more likely than men from monogamous families to perceive the functioning of their families as problematic, their marriage as less satisfying, and their relationship with their children as more difficult‘

Fanfest link updated for March 12th!
There's no other news other than that, so for those who don't feel like making an account on the official site, here ya go. That's all for now.
As already discussed in a couple of previous posts on the thread, today's addition includes a scene commentary for "Times New Roman" (the sixth reset puzzle).

If you could reset the world again from the very beginning knowing what you do and not go down any love route save for Maya, would you? OR if you could choose 1 single route only, what would it be?

And of course, all that made me wonder was... what about polyandrous families? How about big, polyamorous group marriages, a la The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress? Also, what were the results for the daughters of those families? I mean, these are all obvious questions, right?
And have nothing to do with NTR fixation, as nearly as I can tell.
I mean... that's what the purety routes are supposed to explore, I imagine.
If I could change it from the beginning, then it feels like the MC wouldn't be Akira. Still, playing your game, I'd like to think that if I isekai'd into Kumon-mi with no memory (and the sudden ability to speak Japanese) I wouldn't treat it like a standard fuck-em-all schoolgirl harem AVN. I certainly wouldn't touch Ami. But knowing what I know... I'm not sure I'd pursue Maya. She's wonderful, but she's a complete mess (as are just about all of the characters, tbh).
I guess maybe... Niki? She's definitely a bit much, but she seems less certifiably insane than most of the others. She's also an adult, which would be kinda preferable.

I think he's trying to say that broken homes create weak men who cry over things like NTR. Still a bit out of left field.And of course, all that made me wonder was... what about polyandrous families?

That makes much more sense! Still... not many polygynous families in this part of the world outside of Big Love.
Replaying through chapter 3, i'm starting to think purity routes are not love routes.And of course, all that made me wonder was... what about polyandrous families?

In chapter 3 "peek a boo" event we see sekai's face and sensei's name which causes him to black out or passed out. Makato and Futaba find him and they talk...

Akira knows what he is doing to the girls are wrong, just like how he knows what sekai did to him. He wants to know why the girls are still going back to him just like he goes back to Sekai.
He hates the fact that he loves the girls just like how Sekai loved him. He hates that girls love him back just like how he loves Sekai.
From creepy Io event and latest Maki event, he talked about how he doesn't understand why he can't stop loving Sekai even though he knows it's wrong.
I think purity routes are all about purifying the girls from the poison of sensei. So Sensei can learn from girls to how to clean himself from what Sekai did to him.
Though i'm not sure how supporters of selebus would feel something about that. Imagine waiting years to marry your best girl, then she beats her trauma and only loves Akira as a teacher.

Well, some of them are quite interesting, let me share with you.
Or perhaps I'm just Nodoka-fying as days go. And you know, maybe it is. Or maybe it can be if you only read the spaces between them rather than the lines themselves?
And I'm going to post another excerpt that once gave me similar feeling as the one above since it's Sel who became sentimental and personal first. An experienced reader should already know it's from Chevengur of Platonov who, as far as I concerned, had even better lingustic innovation of convoluting words and poeticizing the prose rather LiL which is already rare to discover:
And it's beautiful.
Okay now there is really no backing down for me to assume Niki isn't real. It has became my Idée fixe and even Sel was implying on it. Nothing really tells more mechanical than a constant, right?

Oop Sel was leaking when he said Sana was many, many things. The stark parallel with Maya and another grooming cycle I have mentioned must be one of them. But what's more I wonder? How much did we ignore?
Believe it or not, I have forseen this, somehow, as the line "dressed in Times New Roman" embroidered in my brain. It's indeed beautiful and always reminds me how much there is unsaid from the deepst fathom of a person and how difficult it is to keep touching and genuine thoughts coherent in words. Sel was right in saying we were just deceving ourselves into believing manifestions of our thoughts were right. Sometimes I look at my ideas written down and felt intimate and weird, you know. Like a money looking at Robinson Crusoe - You understood and expressed everything backwards and it turned out to be good, thought not as you anticipated. Something main is inevitably gone. And I felt the exact sentiment when I was typing the former sentence.

Dvanov closed his eyes so as to disassociate himself from any spectacles and experience the road senselessly until arriving at that which he had lost from sight or forgotten to see on his former path. Two days later Alexander remembered why he lived and where he had been sent.
But there is within man also a tiny spectator who takes part neither in action nor in suffering, and who is always cold-blooded and the same. It is his service to see and be a witness, but he is without franchise in the life of man and it is not known why he exists in solitude. This corner of man’s consciousness is lit both day and night, like the doorman’s room in a large building. This heart doorman sits entire days at the entrance into man and knows all the inhabitants of his building, but not a single resident asks the doorman’s advice about his affairs. The residents come and go, while the spectator-doorman watches them with his eyes. His powerless knowledge of everything makes him sometimes seem sad, but he is always polite, distant, and he keeps an apartment in another building. In the event of fire the doorman telephones the firemen and watches further events from without.
While Dvanov walked and rode without memory, this spectator within him saw everything, but it never warned him and never helped him, not once. He lived parallel to Dvanov, but he wasn’t Dvanov.
He existed somewhat like a man’s dead brother; everything human seemed to be at hand, but something tiny and vital was lacking. Man never remembers him, but always trusts him, just as when a tenant leaves his house and his wife within, he is never jealous of her and the doorman.
This is the eunuch of man’s soul. It was to this that he was a witness.

I have mixed feelings about this commentary. Granted, having some confirmations is nice, and this commentary is far less self-serving than its predecessors so at least that is an improvement. But the majority of it is just a weird episode of MTV Cribs, introducing random objects with their intended meanings so obfuscated that the only way to access them is to rely on commentaries such as this. It's a presentation meant to be a mumbo jumbo since the beginning so my repeating thought even after some explanations isn't "Oh I see", but is "...OK?".
Regardless, I will give full credits to the dude solely because of these two lines alone.
