Wow. I have never used someone else's save in a Ren'Py game, but it would not have occurred to me that they are potentially so dangerous. Thanks NR.

To be fair, most of my adult games, I use in a vm. Especially the ones that need to be modded for patching or QoL functionality.
Also saves on the headache of finding a save when they are all inside the same filth ridden snapshot.

So, now every time someone asks
"save?"
we can answer
"No, it's note safe".
Got it.

I am going to bookmark that video and answer everyone who ask for save with it. I might get myself a couple of facepalms but I think it is worth it to spread the awareness. It only takes one ill intent person to ruin a computer.

You and I both know they won't click those linksmaybe they read this, probably not
We need to talk about save game practices.
Since the public release is very soon to be upon us, here a short little rant about how to properly handle saves in Light of my Life, or any ren'py game for the matter.
Get that chip off my shoulder
Let me start of by saying I never really got why anyone'd want to get a random stranger's save game when starting a new chapter. Unless you care absolutely nothing about all the choices you made in the previous chapters (what are the pet names you are called or call people, what fetish did you encourage or discourage, when you had that heart-to-heart, did you comfort them, or relate to them by you struggle with that too, are you afraid of heights, and the list goes on and on and on), but you know, hey, that's up to you.
If you can't wait to click trough the text as fast as possible to see some lewd, who am I to wag a finger at you over this? Well, actually, it turns out I do have a reason, but more on that later.
But if you're invested in the storyline at all, and you used someone else's save game, just know that all those times something came up that made you scratch your head a little, those weren't continuity errors or wonky writing or the game being weird or buggy, that were choices that other person made that are playing out, and not your choices.

Don't you care about all the things we talked about?
It's so much worse though.
But that's not really what this is about. Coming in this version of the ren'py engine,You must be registered to see the links. Basically what it comes down to is that when you load a save file that was not created on the device you are playing it on now, it'll warn you about it, and you need to confirm that you do.
Why was that added? Well, it turns out thatYou must be registered to see the links, and someone can quite easilyYou must be registered to see the links(that vid is hilarious btw). I'll wait a sec or two for that to sink in.

Why's the light on my webcam on?
So for the love of Macy, don't ever ever ever download and use a save file from a source you don't trust. And let's be honest, do you really trust ilickchihuahuas69 over at that forum you visit sometimes, even if they do post all those funny memes? And do you trust the guys he gets his saves from?
Note: you won't get this "are you sure" question loading external saves with Light of my Life immediately: saves made in chapter 6 will not trigger this in chapter 7. But saves made in the upcoming release of Light of my Life will trigger it, and it's a small step in the right direction.
My personal advice is: don't ever use a ren'py save you did not create yourself. Ever.
In that case, just memorize the last line, and repeat it to yourself like a mantra. You'll be fine.

I think one of the big reasons I like all the girls in this
Is they are beautiful on the outside and the inside
Take Macy for example
People might think she is just some typical mean girl
But once you start talking and spending time with her
You know she is actually really sweet
And cares deeply about the people she loves
The girls have had to go through so much in their lives
They deserve some good luck for a change

In which case, you'll probably have to stop more often.

It's certainly a good idea to do that, but if you do, I think it's also important to put this in the proper context.
1) This isn't something that's newly discovered, it has always been true since the very beginning of Ren'Py.
Save game sharing is pretty common here, but I haven't seen a single post from anyone suspecting something fishy is going on after using someone else's save file. So, is it possible? Absolutely. Is it likely? Not really.
2) Ren'Py can execute code in the context of the current user running the game. Which means if you run your games as Administrator, any bad code could theoretically modify your OS, steal your files, passwords and so on...
But who actually runs their games as Admin? My guess is the answer is somewhere between a few people and absolutely nobody. If you run your games as a regular user there isn't much any possible malware could do, because it lacks the necessary Windows permissions to access anything interesting.

The scene where Denise is having a teacher conference with her teacher and her father was fucking hot af. The innuendos that she was dropping during the conference were such a tease. Idk how the MC didn't drive home and rip off her clothes the moment they got home.

They went to a concert once when she was married. He was 15 and his older brother drove them.
If only there was a place to look without having to ask.
