Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.49.0] [Selebus]

[DeSkel15]

Yeah, it turns out that the victims of blackmailing have the option to refuse the blackmailer's demands and suffer the consequences. That's what makes it blackmailing.

Yumi is a typical teenage bully. That makes her a cunt. If the school administration found out, she would be suspended. She also apologized and stopped the bullying. Does that absolve her of guilt? Fuck no. But it does mean that things are improving and that Nodoka's response has no purpose other than her own perverse desire for revenge.

Despite that, Nodoka decides to get her revenge by committing multiple felonies (and IANAL, but at least two of these happen in "Matador": the picture itself and the blackmail). If the school administration found out, she would be expelled and sent to juvie (in the US). This is the definition of disproportionate response. I do not know how you can possibly equate the two.

Yumi can literally refuse Nodoka's demands and suffer no consequences for it. Hence why 'Things That Hurt' is missable, and Chika never gets that pic no matter what.

Also "typical teenage bully"?

Ayane had to come to Futaba's aid, to protect her from being stripped naked by Yumi in Chapter 1's 'Weight Limit'. Later on she corners Futaba and threatens to kill her:

On top of this, Yumi also robs people, sells their stuff, scams children, and besides just threatening to kill people, she assaulted a student in their classroom with a bunch of witnesses while yelling:

Both should be in way more trouble than they are. Not just Nodoka. It should have never got to a point where Nodoka wanted revenge, and Yumi should have been expelled and in some kind of therapy, long ago.

Sounds like someone was a Bad Homie to Rin… AKA you fingered Chika before the first Beach Trip.

NUH UH, my fingers were just playing on a Guitar

‘rinbetrayed’ is the variable that dictates this btw. Switch it to False.

Thanks Thanks

Edit: Huh that's weird, it still turned into a missed event even after turning it into false.

Also, I don’t know if you’re interested at all in using mods for this game, but I do highly recommend the Guide Mod linked in the OP if you do. It’s a lifesaver and informs you of exactly where to go and what prerequisites you need in every event.

Its on the 41.0 tho, would it even work on 42.0

Rule of thumb that will help with any future missed events, you can go to the LiL wiki, type in the name of the missed event, and go to Technical Information to look at the script name:

In this particular case, ‘rindate50’. Set it to True and the skip to False. Also make sure ‘rinbetrayed’ is still False.

Yes, it will. The creator of the mod just doesn’t include a guide for any new updates until the public release drops.

I don't care what Yumi did because I like her she could be hitler herself and I would still take her side fuck Nodoka fuck Futaba and fuck Osako for no reason

That definitely seems to be the usual take from what I can tell.

Bro Nodoka is like the Stan Lee in this game, she has a lot of scenes with other girls without getting into action

 

[Fire Lord Zuko]

Yumi didn’t deserve what she got in “Matador” and “Things That Hurt”. But at the same time, Futaba didn’t deserve to be bullied by Yumi for so many years. Yumi was really awful towards her and was likely the sole reason for her bulimia problem to start with.

That said, Nodoka went way too far. That’s not just revenge, it is a series of crimes. And despite Yumi being able to walk away from it in one of the paths, that’s entirely dependent on if she knows about Sensei’s relationship with Chika or not. Obviously the Yumi on the other path is gonna give in to the blackmail, because she’s afraid of hurting her best friend who likes the same guy she does and she’s the only family she has.

I don’t blame Yumi for screaming “I’ll kill you” to Nodoka when beating the shit out of her either. The fuck else was she meant to say after being mentally scarred?

You know what they say: “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” Yumi was wrong for bullying Futaba and Nodoka was wrong for sexually assaulting her and roping Sensei into the mix too.

To play devil’s advocate for Nodoka for a moment, though, I think she’s way too overhated. Like okay sure, the Yumi thing didn’t earn her any points, but as we’ve learned… most of what she does, she does not out of malice, but as a way to shape the world herself.

Just look at what happened after she outed Io’s backstory in front of everyone. It made Io uncomfortable, but will ultimately over time be able to move her forward. You can even compare this to Tsuneyo’s standup routine in Dorm Wars 2. It served the exact same purpose.

Even last update, where Nodoka caught on to a lot of aspects about their world, including the time loops and gateways between existential planes.

Nodoka’s fucking weird and polarizing, but also interesting.

Imo Otoha is a way more hatable character. Her betrayal of Rin multiple times and her annoyingly aloof demeanor never fails to get a lip smack out of me.

Chika’s the one who summed it up best:

Ah yes.Weve reached the point in their relationship where Sara is now,quite literally,BEGGING for affection.I wonder if she is now more desperate for out affection since she found a thing she can latch on to like a parasite(the fact that we also experience these delusions/blackouts).

Ignoring Tsuneyos obvious superiority.Best girl has to be Ayane.She and Maya love sensei the most,their personalities are good and likeable and since Maya prime is not here Ayane has grown on me a bit more so in the future the N1 spot in my heart may change

Wow, that joke on DeSkel blew up out of proportion didn't it? There are way too many replies so I'll just sum it up without linking a specific one:

I might be convinced if she had tan-lines and/or shows up in a one-piece swimsuit at some point.
Speaking of which. My paranoid counter has been incremented.

Loved the Yumi event, It was basically perfect, at least as far as I'm concerned. In a way, perhaps, after all this time, they both finally understand each other. And am I the only one that is enough of a goober that I still start crying at the full circle "painted grey" line even after replaying the event 3 times?

Start:
"Our eyes meet.
Hers are grey and mine are absent.
She gazes out at the night one more time.
She takes a breath.
And she paints my absence grey as the anti-sun dances around her."
End:
"I can hear two things -- a storm and the sound of her breathing.
But I can only see one.
Everything else is painted grey."

This is incredibly beautiful, thanks for drawing my attention to it again. For anyone not aware of it, both their eyes are grey. Akira was groomed by Sekai, Yumi was groomed by Akira (insofar as we have corresponding scenes of the two pairs kissing for instance). The light from her eyes still shine, his are long gone. Drawing from their understood and yet not understood connection, her grey brings back his own (or rather paints its vacancy back to its original color).

I don't know to which extent Yumi and Akira have been a couple in previous cycles, but from this excerpt alone it is easy to draw parallels between why he'd feel comfortable with her the same as with Maya in the beginning (maybe even more so with Yumi tbh). He says at some point that he became a teacher to save people like her, and Yumi was the only one he was actively interacting with before the cycles - maybe he always saw her like himself (which is tragic because it also makes her the more likely to be groomed - further throwing uncertainty towards what the original Akira's intentions with her were).

Anyway, the game has always favored this couple (for mysterious reasons) and so do I, now more than ever.
