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

[Antosha]

Ain't no 'think' about it, he's stated outright that he hates it, a cheap trope for amateurs. I don't keep quotes on hand but it's been posted a few times...

Definitely true. But his commentary on Il Cervo did make me think about this again.

After all, “The Inner Light,” one of the most acclaimed Star Trek episodes, basically follows that trope. So it’s not amateurish if it’s done well.

“Just because it’s in your head doesn’t mean it isn’t real.”

 

[Moonflare]

Yes, but I'd put that "Il Cervo" further points in the opposite direction.

As Selebus puts it, there is the actual plot and then there are certain events which are "experiments", things that didn't really happen, but act as narrative representations of feelings, emotions, a mind going through motions while sharing the same space with others.

In other words, that "Il Cervo" didn't happen, to me, means that the actual plot happens (as he has said so many times) - because "Il Cervo" is an exception.

Everybody missing the point of Nodoka-thon. Nodoka-thon is showing us that the god's corruption of the girls, weather you want to be on red path or not, is happening. It's not porn for porns sake, it's porn to let us know that. My take is the roster is going to grow.

But the end, before we finish the bad path, my guess is that Dorm Wars will just become Nodoka-thon.

damn just when I announced my retirement did Sel started making more Wakana content.

I'm gonna fuckin lose it Sel.

What's the meaning behind Maya's green scarf?
Something Sensei Prime did?

It's implied Maya was on the streets for a while before meeting Akira, he gave her a green scarf, and she was fingered for the first time while wearing it.

Same, Noriko. Same.

I dunno what happened after the Fan Fest, but Sel dipped far below 10k. During the peak of the FF he was siting near $10,500, now he's around $9,700. Maybe Subscribestar hasn't finished tallying his subs, since it its the beginning of the month. But that near $600 drop is wild.

 

[daagagsdgd]

I...ughh...just went through the stomachache. And it stirred an emotional turmoil that I never expected. I watched what happened choosing to destroy her and it's so, so pathetic and sad. It won't do it. It won't lead to anywhere. I don't believe that's what Akira would do immediately after confessing he wanted to treasure his connection and became a different Collactor. Stop blaming your faults to other entities. I need to make a difference. It's my choice and I need to stop the miserable loop. I won't regret it. She can be my beautiful indigo.

Given there won't be a release this sub cycle it's unsurprising, and despite how much the discord sycophants might've been cheering for the fanfest, you'd expect there to be some portion of supporters who fall outside of the main rabble, from those not on the discord to those who just lurk, some of them almost certainly felt the fanfest was a fucking stupid waste of time... cancelling a sub wouldn't be reflected straight away, i think it likely that $600 drop is the silent portion voicing their displeasure/disinterest and/or saving their money until there's an actual update to sub for, and who can blame them?

This would be me. I was a $10 supporter, but I dropped my sub for April for exactly the reason you state. When I renew in May, it will be at the $5 level.

Yep, I'm committing to Stomachache skip on my main playthrough. My feelings mirror this so well

This is why I'm doing red route, but that being I don't think it matters.
You can't save them, Akira will always be a danger to them.

 

[Bingoogus]

You red pathers are odd... you know Selly will punish you later right? Stomachache was painful the first time around but it loses its impact after a few replays, and we've already seen signs of how it's important to both Io and Akira's growth and their relationship... just suck it up and move past it, the green path is the true story, embrace it, experience it in full or what are you doing here? Good stories are worth the emotional price.

Excuse me sir I'm trying to live in ignorant bliss here and you're poking my bubble with a needle.
