There is quite literally unlimited amount of other possible explanations...Your thoughts on that post are very interesting and you no doubt drew some interesting parallels, but in my honest opinion the "Akira being the same person as Nozomu" theory would really sabotage his character and lessen a lot of the impact of the things that have happened to OUR Akira. That's really the only thing I have a real problem with, everything else seems like it could be possible



Everyone has been giving you pretty good sentiments across the board considering your post consisting of such complicated and scattered theorycrafting, idk why you're having such a strong persecution complex at the slightest criticism. It's a good post, not everyone is going to agree with you though. Also you assuming your theory is 100% correct when there is no demonstrable way to prove it is going to rub some people the wrong way (and considering Selebus' own words stating that it's really not as complicated as a lot of people make it.)

Correlation =/= Causation

If I may had, no one have the absolute truth here. Except Selebus.
For all we know, the «terminals» may be just a way to picture the thing, like Maya did with her explanation of memory with a HDD. Or a real thing.

Anyway, there's still a lot of mystery in this universe, which is why we're still here talking about it. And waiting for a new release who can answer some of our questions.

At that, we can tell that Selebus create the worst drug ever made. A drug who give you principally a depressing state, with barely some joy, but with a powerful addictive effect.
And, if we need our monthly fix, that's not because we hope for a good trip, but because we seek for answers.

And those answers will only be revealed at the nearly end of the story.

So, yeah, hopeless fellow, let's theorize when our gnarling depression, deep in our belly, creep his way out, devouring everything.

also side note, how does one get around the game re-setting changes I make with the universal ren'py mod?

Stop rolling back after making them. Every variable state is remembered per text of dialogue that you can roll back to. If you make 100 edits and then roll back to the frame where you made them you irreparably lose all 100 changes. Same thing happens with looking at phone messages except those work outside the normal rollback system so you wouldn't even notice as you roll back to the frame where you checked the photos.

When I play all the happy events from perspective of my theory.
they all make %100 sense.

This is a example of religion the game would be proud of, providing answers to a world they don't otherwise understand without the kind of proof that would convince people to stop questioning it. You're even defending the 'truth' from the 'heathens'

That just shows a lack of imagination, and that arrogance is costing your reputation.

Probably because people like you are trying to do what you're trying to do.

As in Akira Arakawa in "reality" had mired himself with incest, childhood abuse, death of loved ones and all other iniquities through his life that he invented a simulation of different terminals, kidnapped or persuaded a lot of girls in his life to enter Upside Down House to be placed in it as archetypes, self-inserted to each of them as infinite wishing well, probably got personality splitting to different gods in the long process of eliminating and resetting once in a while and tortured everyone else exactly as what he did in real life to help him to be happy? Hey I'm always rooting for this despite of whatever Selebus has mocked on understanding of audience all through the game itself. That's my own thoughts and interpretations and I felt no shame sharing them with fellow friends.

This place is no LiL discord. Harsh, self-righteous and unfriendly comments are one of the few things not welcomed here. Nobody is belittling anyone and neither should you.

Or in other words, according to St. Seraphim: "Acquire the Spirit of Peace and a thousand souls around you will be saved."

I forgot it was only 18 events (...) crap.

Well, I'm pretty sure we'll see lewds of Touka, not only because of the first title but also because the second one seems like it's a conversation about her losing her virginity with Tsubasa.

I think Tsubasa is about tell Touka the cheat code to sex Akira. And I think Touka might be closet dom. She looked like she was enjoying digging her nails into Sensei's back to shut him up during the Mom Dorm War Event. I wouldn't be surprised if Touka and Wakana have Sensei hanging by his ankles in a future chapter.

This might be just the biggest headcanons after headcanons post I've ever read here. You are mostly answering something with yet another uncertain thing and aren't really putting efforts into being convincing about any of what you wrote here; aka, elaborating that the abstract gibberish Selly constantly throws at us means exactly like what you said, and only like what you said and nothing else. Otherwise, every joint you wrote between known facts about the game is weak, and most of these are seriously just "this is what I would have it done if I was Selly" rather than "this IS what LiL is about". As someone who cares way too much about being objectively believable in thinking about NSFW game lore, something like this post can just be summed up to "because that cloud over there looks exactly like what I have imagined and there is no other way to look at it and I am 100% sure about it I even replayed some events twice".

Or, maybe you did find the secret of the universe but this mumbo jumbo is bad conveyance. Please have it sorted if you really want to have any conversation with anyone. You're at about step 1.3

I will give you credit on two things though:
1. Your Nodoka-mode is spot on. I like the part where you say incoherent shit and force everyone to think you're smart. It's really like her.
2. 79 6F 75 64 69 64 69 74 take is pretty interesting. I used to think it's a "yay you did it ~confetti~" instead of an accusation sentence. Though I'd argue that "you did this" is more appropriate, such a thing isn't something capable of disproving your idea.

anyway.
My post is art.
You see it that way because it requires the ability to think.
Next time, I'll add a picture of boobs to make it more engaging for you.

I'm going to be honest with you man, the inner machinations of your mind are an Enigma in the same way that it would take a crack team of Polish mathematicians working around the clock to break the code you've been posting in after a piece of the cipher was pilfered from a sunken WW2 submarine, and it would take Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science who was later executed by the very state he helped save for the crime of being gay, and a crack team of English mathematicians working around the clock at Bletchley Park to use that deciphered code to fabricate their own encoded messages to send back to you that you would in turn understand.

Keep posting, please. You're part of the LiL Extended Cinematic Universe now and I love your content. Just be a little more understanding and patient of others, they don't operate at the same wavelength as your esteemed self.

Did anything mind-blowing happen in 0.46 or 0.47? It has been nearly four months since I've last played LiL. Stopped at 0.45 in November. I don't remember much, I'll have to play CH4 again, but I won't make it in time for 0.48.

Anything truly major since then?

There is still years of LiL so think of it this way; If we knew what the ending was all about, you would ruin the game for the rest.
Why not just give think pieces that steer into the right path to make people more engaged and excited?
I really HOPE you are not somebody I know.

I think there’s a lot of thought provoking ideas in that post for sure. But the pretentious responses to people’s analysis and criticism ain’t doing any favors. I’m all about that looking down on idiots kind of life (something I’m constantly working on), so I get the “nobody can keep up with me!” ethos. But it does make enemies rather than converts when trying to make salient points.

Generally, I found the English a bit incoherent at times, and had some difficulty following as a result, but not so much that I couldn’t understand the points being made. I think the main issue is not having enough textual based support for suppositions, not that the ideas aren’t plausible or worth considering.

All in all, it’s a fascinating read, and gives me another lens with which to view the game from as I play through for the third time.

I don't like dominant characters in general, but I'd make an exception for drunk Touka cause she's so funny :ROFLMAO:
