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

[Bingoogus]

Ew no no no no i do not like this new UI... change it back...

 

[DeSkel15]

I must've missed this stuff about Makoto saying "one of us is dead". Where does it happen? is it a text message? how the fuck did i miss it

It's a text message you get from Makoto after talking to Maya in the hallway last update. Right before the Reset and stuff really hits.

The most interesting part to me, is that she mentions a "False Moon":

Assuming the Moons are related to the gods, this could mean there's a false god at play, which is... well, interesting.

Virtually everything in those texts from Makoto are quite important I think. Going blind in one eye, false moon, one of us is dead, Rin is presumably masturbating near her, etc.

It was a photo she sent masturbating if you click on "why" she talks about it.

+1. Not a fan.

 

[Bingoogus]

+1. Not a fan.

It's all 'floaty' and soft and the crisp connection between sections is gone, i fuckin hate websites updating to this stupid modern web style, appearance over usability, fashion over form, call me an old fart but i liked it when website design was hard and rigid.

 

[Bingoogus]

Ah, i looked before posting and didn't notice it but there is a style chooser, set it to what you see there to return to the good UI.

I understand, but how did this theory come about?

While not mentioned by name, I'm 99% certain purple hat guy is Akira's brother. And since Nozomu shares a name with one of the gods, I do expect he's HOPE or the Callous God. We've seen Akira mourn Sekai, but we've never heard him talk about his brother at all. Why? Well, we've seen purple hat guy rape Maya, which seems like something the Callous God would want. Seems really in character for him to have sex with girls with no interest in the consequences. Like maybe leaving Sara with two kids. Doing the same with Chika's mom.

Noriko tells us Maya did something that caused Akira to disappear. Something to keep him to herself. What if Maya wanted Sekai gone? Sekai clearly doesn't seem to like Maya much either, but why? Did Maya tell Sekai what Akira's brother had been doing behind her back? Maybe that's why she crashed the car and killed them both. Maybe that's why the Callous God tortures different versions of Maya.

Maybe he didn't start torturing Akira after the resets started. Maybe he always has. Maybe he's always gotten a kick out of making Akira suffer. Maybe that's why Akira jumped through the window and cut his hands? To escape his brother.

Lot of maybes, no hard evidence. But something in my gut tells me Nozomu was a really bad dude. Someone Akira doesn't want to be, but almost was. And if we're not careful, might still be.

Sekai was already dead before Maya appeared. Akira only started tutoring after Sekai's death and Noriko was being tutored before Maya appeared.

I knew Noriko was being tutored before Maya, but I did not recall Sekai being dead before Akira started tutoring. Then again, it is a very long game that I've only played twice over the last two years. lol In any case, I'm very excited for the update and hope we get at least one question answered.

What agony from hell, just imagining something like that happening to Maya gave me anguish in my chest, even more so knowing that it could have happened since she and Akira got along well because they were both broken. But I think it wasn't Akira's brother since by the time Akira met Maya, Nozomu was already dead.

I swear in addition to Rin and Chika, the new Sana model confuses me quite a bit too. It almost feels like I was looking at her deceased brother instead of her for some reason.

Like, I've never confused Miku with a 10-yr boy for a single frame ever; but I suppose this Sana in my book looks enough similar to those anime trap characters and fucks my brain with my own backward reversed psychology.

Or I guess that explains her big ass dick then

In case you're interested, in Noriko's 'Loxosceles Reclusa' Event, Noriko establishes the timeline as this:

• Accident happens (Ami was 7:

• Sensei ghosts Niki
• Seemingly a short time afterwards Sensei continued tutoring Noriko:

• Noriko looks for him
• Noriko sees him, presumably with Maya, while on a bus (presumably what she meant by almost 3 years ago:
  Spoiler

  Was when they last saw eachother), it apparently doesn't go well, but Sensei glitches, so it's not clear.
• Noriko continues looking for him
• Noriko's school collapses
• Noriko ends up in Wakana's class
• Noriko finds Sensei

Also, presumably Noriko was being tutored since she was 6, considering it's when she fell in love with him and apparently spent a lot of time with him alone. Not to mention, that's when elementary school starts in japan.

Overall: Maya was probably around 6, maybe 7 (She's months younger than Ami and Noriko) when the Accident happened, and seemingly soon afterwards she began being tutored. Sekai should have been torn to shreds and buried with Nozomu, by the time Sensei and Maya grew close.

Hello does someone have a good phone wallpaper for one of the girls in this game
(Preferably Molly, Maya, Yumi, Rin, Io, Miku and Yasu but I'll take any good ones as well because I can change them on a daily basis on opera)
because I really love the game and the different characters at this point I would play this game even if it had 0 sexual content.
Thanks in Advance.

Ps: hopefully there is good Maya content in the update

Personally, I find the whole "reality is subjective" thing, a tad delusional. At least in an irl sense.

If I actually cut off someone's hand and slap them with it, even if they think they still have their hand and weren't slapped, they still were, and no matter what they think, I can just slap them again. Reality is inherently objective. It means what actually exists. You can perceive the hand as a ham, but it's still your hand or at least what is considered your hand.

Of course, within a fictional universe, things get more complicated. Nodoka actually talked about this a little:

Spoiler

So, within this world, I think what can be assumed to be intended to actually exist within this reality, should be considered "Real". Whatever isn't reasonably shown to actually exist within this reality is likely just a hallucination.

The propblem is that rules of Kumon-mi do not prohibit things like "we saw Ami killed, but from Ami perspective she never was killed". Well, tehchnically you can state something like "things on-screen are real and characters' attempts to understand it are reset-induced dellusions / magic", but it would be just one definition of reality (pretty useful, though)

Actualy, there is a better question: is cute girl magic real?

First, I'd like to thank you for the amount of contribution you do around here, it has helped me a lot understanding many things that I have missed while playing. But I have to ask, do you have these SS available for whenever you post something like this or are you an omnipotent GOD being who knows everything about this world?
