Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

[Pervyfox]

Just replayed that event and nowhere was it mentioned he rented anything just for tutoring. Her going to a grody crumbling building seems to just mean she went to his creepy old apartment for tutoring, like she's mentioned earlier:

In retrospect, his tutor room having a bed and shower:

Seems to confirm he didn't just rent out some space for tutoring like Niki's basement. Instead he was using his creepy old apartment that was in a grody crumbling building.

Also, yeah I do wish things were easier to find as well. I've just begun screenshotting things I deem notable to save time.

didn't Yasu specifically say it was a storefront in the old district?
she said "There are several answers to that question. two of which are very naughty. but the one that's likely written down is... Well, i suppose its safe to just call it a storefront in the old district now. Though, it was quite different back when it was used for... educational purposes."

i can see people using that as some sorta basis for the tojo ramen theory, but its still too vague and we got nothing linking akira and Mr Tojo yet

Interesting. I definitely forgot that it is apparently a storefront now. Thanks for the insight. That also definitely implies what the bed was used for.

i mean considering the tsuneyo dad's room is that room theory... it having a bed and bathroom doesnt seem that weird and we had more than one person in the thread saying he rented out a 2nd space for tutoring. pretty sure its just a matter of hunting it down.

I was wrong, I guess there is some basis to the Ramen shop theory. My bad.

I mean I knew it had merit. Like it's vaguely sprinkled throughout the game and I stand by it being said in game a few times regarding a place he rents for tutoring.
In regards to noriko stalking sense this was done after he tutored and abondoned her in one of her events she talks about how she got on a bus to go through the old town every weekend and spent all day looking to see him through the window and she saw him once and begged the bus driver to let her out and they wouldn't stop

 

[Deleted member 2223621]

Like the only other place I can see as having any significance in the old town that might be the location of where sensei tutored... would be the convenience store noriko works at and she got a job there hoping sensei would just randomly pop up there but I'm pretty sure noriko doesn't even remember where the place is because I remember her talking about trying to find the place again on her own because her parents always drove her there and never being able to find it. The fact it was turned into a store front since he tutored means she wouldn't even recognize it most likely if it's either of those places though

The irony of her working there would be hilarious, but I feel like she would notice if there was the same apartment upstairs.

Like most of the lazy ass theories I read regarding the gods make me just wince in pain sometimes. It's like reading fan girl theories on why Justin Beiber in early 2000s wore a blue shirt at a concert so he clearly lost his virginity to Cristina Agulaira in Spain 3 weeks ago even though he was performing a concert in LA at that exact time. Utter insanity. That's the main reason why I don't like God of wires is tsuneyos dad theory. Massive leaps in logic

 

[Pervyfox]

its also possible we just havent seen the location yet. akira is blocking it out whenever he goes to the old town. hell maybe during the event Where the Sidewalk Ends was around there and thats why his brain blocked it all out. or maybe that was near the crash or something.

Where the Sidewalk Ends leading to it makes a lot of sense, but Niki showed us the location of the crash. Also I think that Akira, the king of avoiding feelings, probably didn't set up shop down the street from where the love of his life died.

 

[Pervyfox]

sorry those were two separate thoughts, either it was near the crash or near his tutoring spot. i also dont think hed set up shop anywheres near it

Ah, I see what you're saying. Well, rereading that event, it seems he was staring down a tunnel(which to him appears as an empty street with power lines). The crash site we see in The End of the Tour(Glasswalker) doesn't look like either of those things, but it could just be offscreen. Or the tunnel leads to his sketchy apartment. Or something else entirely.
Yeah I got nothing else to go on.

Like wasn't there a whole year of Dallas that turned out to be a dream or something back in the day.

You mean "weren't Dallas viewers effectively told that the writers had wasted 26 hours of their time?"

 

[DeSkel15]

Just something to tack on to the whole storefront thing, Maya has mentioned that the city is virtually unfazed by the loops and that new buildings keep popping up. So, chances are, the building became a storefront after the loops started, which is possibly why Yasu mentioned it used to be quite different. It's likely changed over the who-knows-how-many loops.

It's also possible that we haven't seen the location or it's simply not similar enough to remind Sensei of it anymore.

Still, If anyone knows where it is, no matter the changes, it's likely Maya. I highly doubt she'd let Sensei go somewhere as dangerous as where he "tutored" her though, so it being somewhere she'd think he'd ever visit (like anywhere with a teen girl, especially those he'd teach), she'd have likely said or tried to say something about it.

I dropped this game like a year ago because it was honestly just endless dialogue and teasing, with a few very specific girls getting scenes but practically nothing for everyone else. Very well written dialogue, but I can only pretend to be playing a porn game for so long before I realize I'm not and go do something more entertaining. Has it improved at all in that regard? Not like I'm expecting it to have become a fuck fest game or something, but I mean, has it picked up a little?

Also, what's the care package stuff?

I'm also no fan of the whole gods stuff. Three gods, four gods, one god that is all gods, or no gods at all.
It's just exhausting.

The only thing related to religion i saw until now that makes at least some sense is the connections between the event "The letter T", how Maya is attached to a cross there (reoccurring theme with Nao's happy event mothers milk?), that the letter T seems to be for teacher, which means most likely Sekai, who wears a cross around her neck.

No, it's about the same, lot's of dialogue with some porn sprinkled here and there to make a point.
The care packages are some scene commentary, and a different age porn scene, like adult Chinami, or younger Futaba.

I honestly just disregard most of the God stuff when making theories. I treat it as a red herring or a stage magician assistant trying to distract you from the trick. Focus on context, subtext, passing statements of intent/purpose/behavior. You can look at linking words such as wires all day but just using a word in one scene and using it in a different one does not connect the two scenes in a truly meaningful way outside a single word if there is no context between the two scenes. Not to say they are not important. But the mystery is uncovering what happened to lead to all this. Not what is happening right now. Everything major has been and is major reveals of character pasts and relationships. I see no reason for this to suddenly change. If it's not the room sensei tutored in I would heavily expect some kind of hidden deep relationship between sensei and him to be revealed in some way from his past. In regards to tsuneyo's dad is a god, I would be massively disappointed in the writing if that was the case because of the extreme lack of connections between sensei, ami, Maya, or really anyone of main plot importance outside of tsuneyo who isn't even the driving main plot point but a side plot as of now

gods being exhausting reminds me of something Maya would say.

You know, I've been wondering if the T for Teacher thing might be meant to distract the player. Someone else who starts with T and if her "father" is a "god" that could make her a Jesus substitute, is Tsuneyo. A long shot, but that's what makes theorizing fun.

Tsuneyo can also mean "Always" and "World" which sounds like a reference to a time loop.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be one of the most important characters in the game. I think there's been plenty of implications about her. I do think whatever is taking Sekai's form is highly important as well though. There's so many possibilities.. makes me smile like my profile pic.

Since Maya has essentially been in groundhog day for thousands of years, assuming her memories aren't fabricated programming, do you think she ever took a Sensei off? Like, fuck it, skip this one, i'm going to go learn how to ice sculpt? If that's believable, i wonder if she ever went full 'fuck it' and went psycho a few times, like capturing Noriko and locking her in a basement where she repeatedly killed her before her being reset back to life and doing it again. I can't imagine not taking a day off after even just a single year to go crazy and screw the consequences, let alone hundreds or thousands. She did say she's wrecked a few Sensei's trying to get what she wants but doing that also kind of implies she ought to have done everything else we all think we'd do if we were groundhogged... no consequences...

 

[Hario1225]

Just here to say that Sensei's dick is huge. Aight, time to go back to work.

if she ever did I imagine it would... just automatically reset everytime she went missing to much or deviated to far. didn't sensei basically ask her that one time and she said this exact thing?

congrats Bingogus you have made the most popular theory in the thread regarding the size of sensei's penis. you have the biggest brain
