Now on a totally different note (I want to avoid double posting), I randomly listened to a song earlier today which lyrics immediately made me think of this game. This might have already been discussed in the past, but have you guys ever made this experience?
I experienced something similar to this but it probably isn't what you're thinking.

My wife was watching youtube in the living room, and out of nowhere I started hearing one of Sharou's songs coming from her general direction; fucking Sharou! (iirc it was this one but I might've confused it with this artist's other songs).

Reasonably, I spilled my tea and immediately went into panic, thinking that she figured me out or worse, she played this shit too. But turned out it really was just a random youtube clip using it as BGM and it had nothing to do with LiL (the audacity!)

I get what you're saying, but honestly? If that's really where we're headed at the very end — everything/one falls to shit, whoo-hoo! — I'm going to find that really disappointing and, if I'm honest, boring. Not tragic. Boring.

We're all on a one-way trip through a garbage chute (resets notwithstanding). But it seems to me that brief triumphs against entropy are a lot more interesting than focusing on the bleak and unavoidable.

Yes, Sensei blows things up, even when he doesn't want to. Especially when he doesn't want to. So I grant that's a kind of tragic flaw.

But if what we get at the end of X years of this long, strange trip through the dark is that, yup, Sensei blows things up.... I'll be pissed.
Agreed. We're more than a decade into a social obsession with everything being deconstructions of happy things, and avoiding good ends in favor of downer ends no matter what anyone does, or at best bittersweet.
It's boring. It's not clever, original, or good writing. It's boring. And maybe you could say the same of the traditional hero's journey, but at least people actually like the triumph at the end.
Struggle, fail and die is as played out and boring as "what if superman but evil?"

Even though the update is more than halfway complete its been kinda slow in terms of previews and what not. But on the bright side we get to see Touka's bare breasts in game for the first time. And Yasu's too I suppose.
Long have I waited for this moment…

Hi, I was wondering if there has been any discussion on the moons? I'm asking cause I was replaying the beach event with Sana where all 3 moons show up and noticed the moon's image is the backside of the moon, not the front. Do you think Sel purposely chose the backside of the moon for a reason or not?

I had a similar thing last year. I was in Japan, walking around somewhere in Kanazawa (near Katamachi maybe) and I started to hear "beyondthewayoftime.mp3" (ピアノ39『時の道を越えて』) playing in the distance. I thought to myself "Well, it looks like I have finally gone insane and I'm hearing a lil song in my head". Then I decided to walk towards it to find out if I was in fact going insane or not. Turned out it was playing over a department store/mall PA system for some reason. I guess it must be royalty free background music and maybe they played it at midday or a set time every day.

You know, I expect Selebus being arrested for creating LiL :HideThePain:
Sooner or later it will happen
That is something I've been wondering for quite a while, I am not American so I'm not sure how the law treats it, but it's not like his content is a secret considering he is on Twitter and other stuff where people can make connections, and the game does contain more than talks about wizard stuff, there are literal drawings and shit about it.

There already IS wizard content if you consider care packages

Never actually used those.Having my save fucked over is too much of a pain.What do they have? Also they arent cannon right?
Just adult Miku having sex with a bunch of wizards (wizard content wise).The care packages themselves have some interesting stuff, like adult Maya being adorable, Uta and Io throuple, and adult Chinami cucking both Tsukasa and Chika).

And no, they are not canon. As for wizard content, there are flashbacks of Sekai with kid Akira on the main game.

It's likely that we'll have it with wizard Maya at some point as well. Tbh if Selebus is ever going to do wizard content (which it seems like where this is going with Tsukasa), it would make a lot of sense to do it via flashback with Maya first, since it would soften the blow on his audience somewhat.

There is also the phone message with wizard Uta.

I have no idea how some people here were able to broach the topic of this game with their significant others. It took a lot of effort on my part just to admit to my wife that I have played a game like Eternum

I guess it's toeing that very fine line of media like the book Lolita. The game doesn't really seem to endorse the ideas it presents, albeit maybe on a surface level, but if you dig into the protagonist you can see he's a horrible and conflicted person... I can say without any hesitation that I feel pretty shitty for playing this game sometimes, like almost a sort of guilt. But at the same time I'm relieved I don't connect with the protagonist whatsoever and it's more like I'm watching a very, very, very, very long car crash happen (pun intended). I'm just too invested in his downfall and potential redemption. But damn if the subject matter doesn't make me feel pretty skeezy from time to time

It's honestly alot easier if your significant other is degenerate if not a bigger degenerate than you. But in my case I turned my girlfriend off the game after a scuffed attempt at explaining the lore to her.
