Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.54.0] [Selebus]

[Detective Dc345]

Talking about Halloween. What kind of costumes do you all hope to see? Any cosplay from any game that you think could appear?

I wonder if Noriko could talk Yumi into wearing a costume this time. If she manages to do so that would be Noriko's greatest feat next to getting her to ditching the sarashi. And if Yumi dresses up, she should be Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill.

We are at least 20 significant events for Yumi away from even the possibility she might consider getting dressed up... even ignoring that, to dress up in an outfit showing that much skin... would that even be Yumi anymore?

A man can dream, of course, but let's at least try to be realistic here...

Selebus consistently makes incredibly basic mistakes about theology to the point where I just had to complain to no one in particular - confusing Trinitarianism with the Stations of the Cross is the most obviously egregious one.

I also have a hunch that this might merely be a case of Selly writing Molly's dialogue using viewer's perspective instead of her own so that he could keep avoid progression and I am just a massive overthinker, but I rather not think about that for now.

but I think that even without her, she'd put on a hat or a mask or something.

A mask is the maximum i could believe.

Congrats grandma Mooney, you are officially a no-lifer like the rest of us

I should've mentioned this in my previous post. But I was thinking more along lines of this for Yumi.

But you're right on that much midriff and such a short skirt might be too much for Yumi standards. We need Noriko to work her magic for this one.

Edit: I may have to take matters into my own hands, if we dont get a Yumi costume this year....

Okay so I just caught up to maybe 600-700 posts worth of content, good posts by many people.

My turn to pose a question: does Sel genuinely think Death Ball is funny? Does anyone? Maybe his sycophants that believe he can do no wrong? I just find it so horribly unfunny and try-hard that it seems weird. Like "lol I'm so random look at my spork" when everyone else is at it.

At this point, for me, certain dorm wars events just have to be taken as non cannon nonsense. It’s already been discussed somewhat how ridiculous them watching a tv with themselves from the future is, for the documentary on Death Ball.

I don’t find it entertaining, personally. Cringy I suppose. I consider Death Ball a microcosm of dorm wars as a whole: something that has become a “required” thing even if it wore out its welcome already.

I actually loved the first Death Ball event. The rehash, not so much, but the punchline did make me chuckle.

But absurdist fiction isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Unfunny because too much is going on (hence the try-harding feeling as well), but for me Death Ball finally redeemed itself by managing to terrorize Ami Prime.


I also have shame for giggling at your spork comment. God fucking damnit.

You know, that makes me think, are the Dorm Wars just a big Il Cervo?

What made the first death ball enjoyable was the documentary that went along with it. The second was just boring. And the same could be said about the other events from this Dorm Wars. The only Dorm Wars event that I enjoyed was the Tsuneyo and Yumi bodyguard event. Yumi and Tsuneyo bouncing off of each other was genuine comedy gold and how Noriko won the event was hilarious. In retrospect Beach Wars is probably the best Dorm Wars we've had thus far.

I enjoyed the yuri jokes but that was about it, the rest of the humor was pretty cringe-inducing.

Theology and religion in LiL feels caricaturistic to the extent of being very artificial against the backdrop of surrounding arguments. You are quite right with Akira doing mental gymnastics and poking nonsequitous holes on religion to revoke religion doctrines forced upon him. Like a child thinking of all sorts of illogical and laughable arguments in mind to oppose everything parents said to him. That way, nothing serious would come out of it and it slowly becomes a paranoid rabbit hole. Like all the minor "gods" or whatever creatures we saw in Ch.4.

Or, it's just that Sel is bad at theology and profound thinking. Alright but it's something I didn't want to believe. He didn't get to level of the usual Japanese creators after all.

Jesus Christ please make this smaller or put it in a spoiler tag I just got flashbanged so damn hard XD

I think the second death ball event was just a "fuck you" to the people that didn't like the last dorm wars. There were a couple of mentions on how it was not well received by people. And what did people complain mostly about? Death ball, no sensei, Good Kid and too much yuri.

So we got another death ball event, where sensei flees, with Good Kid's music on the background that ends with a yuri kiss. Just Selly things...

I didn't mind the second Death Ball honestly, it's not my kind of humour but a couple moments got a chuckle and it was nice and short so didn't really bother me.

I hadn't put much thought into it but yeah, that makes sense lol

I love that people were doing a deep read of it and trying to psychoanalyze Sel's kinks via the line about "the reason for existing is lesbians" when the reality is Sel is just a troll who loves to antagonize his critics.

I imagine a Spy TF2 mask with someone's face drawn on it. And everyone will think she's wearing this damn outfit.

My big issue with this dorm wars, if we isolate the general feeling of coming from a FanFest + break and followed by another break, is that it feels like a FanFest.

I'm not saying everything had to be dramatic and realistic, but I feel like it took Imani's dormwars and built upon it by making it even more absurd, when I would have liked it to become more in tone with the previous ones.

Edit: Again, maybe it's because it followed a FanFest. Maybe if someone just played LiL back to back it wouldn't be a problem and even a welcomed funny break in the midst of it all. It just didn't feel that way playing it as it came out.
