As debunked as this was, it's funny how it could line up with the dark, true and purity routes.

I bet it's a bit strange being Selly, imagine having a bunch die hard fans of your work who also openly dislike you as a person. What does that do to your ego?

The reason people love his work but hate him is his "ego" in the first place. You can't ruin something that is already ruined..
With regards to those old discord comments, I found them a bit devious because 'hallucinations' do not fall under 'simulation' or 'it's all a dream.' This is to say I can clearly imagine a reality where Sensei is hallucinating 99% of what's happening, OR everything that's happened is framed as a book / game he's reading/playing, yet this would evade classification as "simulation" or "all a dream." Of course, in the first place, I'm not really dead-set on figuring out THE TRUTH and cracking THE PUZZLE, but when it comes to strong allusions that things are going on in Sensei's head, I am disinclined from throwing them out wholesale. For example, at this point I would be pleasantly surprised if Ami/Ayane/Maya are 'real' living people and not hallucinations, but even if they are hallucinations, I wouldn't interpret that as 'dream theory' it'd be a more elaborate 'how real are how hallucinations / how real is fiction if it affects us irl / it may be fake to us but it's real to them' etc type stuff.
By the way, at risk of implied spoilers, I would once again invite fans of LiL to read Subahibi. It is the same kind of "spew vomit from the bottom of your mind and call it a visual novel" kind of thing that LiL is. Which is not to say LiL fans would like it (in fact, I myself found it quite a chore to get through), but it is highly enriching when analyzing LiL since it's one of the main inspirations for it. Worst come to worst you can come out with more ammo for calling Sel a hack or something.
Mon panache!

Sel is a masochist. He probably loves people trashing him.
People like Sel anticipate being hated. That's why by default they wear masks - just look at his initial patreon posts, where he is gushing with appreciation and gratitude for every single player, or the polite affectations he puts on when wanting something. These are the attitudes of someone who knows from life experience they have something to hide - themselves. The darkness for such individuals is filled with screaming and buzzing static noise. A lifetime of punishment just for existing. Behind every external individual is a demon ready to swipe. And so a forum of people shitting on you is just a matter of course - the demons had always been lurking in the darkness. That is why there is the inclination to engage primarily with demons and brush off or entirely ignore the angels. An angel is just a demon in disguise waiting to reveal their true colors. Nobody can be trusted. But demons can be slayed. And so I imagine f95 is a comfortable place for him, a home away from home, where he can relish in the wrath he always knew existed.
What would be much more interesting is a forum of people praising Selebus no matter what. There are some accusations of the discord being a cult worshipping Selebus, but they live in fear there and he knows it. He can't really trust or believe them, I think. Just look at how he mocked them on F95 as two-faced cheaters hiding their true inclinations from him. So the discord, too, is a place of demons; dedicated fans waiting to turn on him and shit on him the moment the loli content gets too extreme or what have you.
How would Selebus respond in heaven, though? How would he respond to the unconditional, overflowing affection of thousands upon thousands of people? THAT would be more interesting. And perhaps it's what we're seeing in Lessons in Love.

No, but if he rugpulls and says "oh snap, it was all in his head after all!" nobody's going to be inclined to support his next game, because any clout he has as a writer goes away the instant he uses the least imaginative out in fiction writing.

For me, it’s the Maya birthday date. :chef’s kiss:
It also opens us up to the most unsatisfying twist ending in the history of twist endings: “He woke and realized it was all a dream.”
ETA: Unless we’re talking Newhart calling back to The Bob Newhart Show. That was fucking brilliant.

at this point we might need to wait until summer to see if the last one would happen

I actually picked that option back in the day, I just really liked Kirin's reaction to it, so I felt like this was the only option that would feasibly leave a mark on one of the girls (especially since Chika wasn't even present).

I also picked it at first but had to go back cause I think I saw Noriko die inside.
Sometimes I think the culmination of Noriko's route will be Noriko breaking into a cuckqueen.

About God, god and GOD. Can someone explain the diffrence?
I know it is God or GOD when HOPE or one of his angels are present. And paradolia only uses lowercase. But after vising Yasu in the church made me confused since sensei usesGod god.
Do i confuse sensei's internal monologue and paradolia's talk?

Day 30 character count 17710, 3,289 words. I'm struggling to decide between pressing enter twice to separate text in the same event, or letting everything be in one. It's usually not a problem unless I suddenly think of something irrelevant in the middle of the event or as long as I don't have too many reactions in the same event. You've seen me do it. There's barely any pattern to it at all. But there is a guarantee that if it's all part of the same chunk then it's the same event.
Don't think anything changed here today.
Also, I've officially played the game for a month now.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
EDIT: You know, reading through your reactions to events, I often have a hard time remembering exactly what you’re referring to; the game is just so damn long. Orders of events get mixed in my brain. Which, of course, leaves only one logical conclusion:
Playthrough 3, here I come! Curse this stupid, sexy game!
