No space in my brain to memorize phone numbers or addresses. The only addresses I know are my current, sort of my parents and sort of mine childhood home. I don't even memorize my own phone number, especially not anyone else's unless you include two different emergency numbers. 112 which is my own countries and 911 which, I guess belongs to many other countries like America.
Yeah, I can see it. Ayane would be a good mom. She's kind of one of those "appearances can be deceiving" types. You think she may not be a good one but she would likely surprise you just how good she would be.
Rich looking girl? Now that's an interesting plot development.
Yeah, just one look at her and I get that rich and elegant feel even down to the hair.
Looking even closer at what she's wearing... yeah, 100% rich girl. Wouldn't be surprised if she's richer than Ayane. But then again, maybe Ayane haven't learned as much discipline as this other girl has.
Okay her name is Touka... Tomonori and Tsukioka aren't difficult to pronounce but reading them would take a couple tries at worst.
I think I get what's going on. Ayane's family is like the modern rich kind. More disorganized and modern in their approach. Meanwhile Touka's family might be the older more traditional kind who put high value on how they appear to others and are more strict. I was gonna say sort of like Tsuneyo's but Tsuneyo's is probably not rich and they went too far on the sheltering part.
Yeah, Touka and Ayane kinda similar if you think about it, but way too different. But I like both of them. I won't spoil why I like Touka though, aside for her appearance. She's looking great.
How many times am I gonna hear about this horny ball of light? Is repetition also part of the existential horror nonsense? I mean it could be but I don't think I would forget this little detail nor do I think it's absurd enough to give me any kind of existential dread.
Now that's an awful lot of wires. I'm starting to think wires are indeed important to the story somehow. I mean, even if I wasn't told that which I was, the number of mentions are suspicious.
I'm sure if you were playing this blindly, you may have no idea what to do with that IP address. I don't like scary stuff, disturbing and unsettling in the disgusting kind of way I can tolerate. Wouldn't skip past happy scenes, why would you even do that? The static and disturbing imagery can happen at any time, just cover most of the screen and don't play on absurdly high volume, easy.
I'm not sure how much of it is huggy boy exclusive but he basically explains why it's there. He didn't like how many people were skipping Happy Scenes with text skip so he added mandatory information in them. Otherwise they're hard blocked from progressing to the next chapter, and this is just one of the many times he will require it. He even adds extra happy scenes for the really observant.
He's going to do this a bunch. Something that caught his attention during the month he was working on a update will make it into the game. People pirating the game, people copying the game, Summertime Saga people who don't deserve to make as much money as they do while LiL doesn't. Wouldn't be surprised if Despacito was one of these instead of a specific joke for Ayane.
We couldn't share information as easily in the pre-internet days as we can now. Countries were more or less creating these systems in a vacuum.
Hell, rotary phones didn't even work the same way in every country. Each number dialed sends a set number of pulses, but in some countries, 1 sent 1 pulse and 9 sent 9 pulses, and in others, 1 sent 9 pulses and 9 sent 1 pulse.
Modern (post-internet) globalisation has changed how new systems are developed so that they're more standardized, but those old existing systems are so entrenched that changing them would be dangerous. The sheer expense of "911 is now 000" marketing to make sure everybody knows about the change alone ensures that no country will risk it.

I can make an in depth post as I run into the event on my playthrough (it's a little off still). I tried to search it myself, but unfortunately it seems I haven't made one yet.
Until then, one evidence can be gathered from your own post:
it can interpreted this way: "today is december 28th, 2020 - because the calendar has run out of pages. Because that is the last day of the calendar. Thus the day of the first reset on Terminal 23."
Then, the event takes place on december 28 because it's always december 28, even if it is two days after it. The days in Kumon-mi, as the passage of time, are fictional - in the real world it's always dec 28, they never left. No one ages, nothing changes, and even when they do, it reverts back.
One piece of evidence isn't conclusive enough, obviously. But I'll take a look at it again as I catch up to it.
fdsasdf_pis correct though, thanks for the clarification. My japanese isn't good enough to read it at a glance, and I didn't want to bother my japanese friends.

And about the fucked up time... what about the events? Surely, everyone talked about this before, but, who decide when Christmas happen? Or Halloween? Nobody give us a day, a month or something else...
Also, we did have a Christmas during summer, if my memory don't fail me. And in the next update, it will be during spring, right after Halloween...
I have work so can't get New Year Hammered till Monday, did buy Sake while looking for Bailey's S'mores and finally found one I actually like. Monday I'm off so gotta go to the gym, find the S'mores, pick up some TCG cards and ice cream, figure out food then countdown till next LiL update and New years. Woot \(^_^)/
Edit - Think I'll just add this here instead of making a new post but looking through Sel's requested fanart some of them are really good, some a bit freaky weird, but loving the Gravure Sets, Tokua, Rin, and Miku's being standout.

edit: also Akira is like omega fucked once the dam breaks, the dam is starting to show cracks and some things are already spilling out, but soon it will break and all will suffer because of it.
Personally, I find it to be a bit more of a tug of war than anything else, I won't elaborate due to spoilers but there's some lines to say the Rooftop Apocalypse Squad actually does have some power over things, but not a lot.
More importantly however, it seems the loops are incredibly unstable, I think even the gods don't have proper control over it and it's why the rules get a bit wavey from time to time.
IMO, its more likely that the loops will break due to something simply collapsing, like a domino effect of "that's not supposed to happen".
Maya makes a lot of mention about how things are starting to get unpredictable and weird, she becomes scared and pushy because it's no longer predictable, the rules changed rapidly in a short time and a big part of her character arc was this tension of no longer feeling safe.
They might not need more strength than a GOD, a few pushed buttons could destroy the whole thing, or so it seems.

Yeah that is something I did realize but didn't think of when I was writing. But there's also something else I noticed which is that the reset events are getting more... involved? In the sense that someone or something DOESN'T want Akira to make it to the reset. Or is at the very least happy to fuck with him relentlessly when the time comes.
You may want to consider waiting for a very specific save or setting a particular variable via URM, there's a happy event that you could knock out while doing this one at the same time. Or do you have a save that's played through 0.45's content?
