i love ILITW but being me i have to nitpick

lucas wouldn’t have been able to get that many prescriptions. as someone who has adhd, let me tell you stimulant medication is VERY controlled and regulated. the doctor has to do a written signature and it can only be on paper scripts (except if you have this fancy new thing that is able to send it in through pharmacies, but that’s a different story), you have to physically take the script to a pharmacy and get it filled, you have to show your driver’s license, and each prescription can only be for 30 days at most, and you can only refill it at most 5 days before it runs out. so he would never have been able to get so many bottles. plus the pharmacy probably would have called his mom (the doctor) if something seemed suspicious, which it would be if he was trying to get so many prescriptions in a short amount of time

it’s really fuckin hard to get adhd meds, even if you’re diagnosed. it would be more accurate if he had stolen someone else’s, or bought them from someone selling the pills. that’s the biggest way they get into the hands of people without adhd, especially students. when i went to college it was recommended that i put my meds in a safe place where no one could find them, in case my roommate or someone they knew tried to steal them.

it’s really fucking frustrating when you actually have adhd but people who don’t have it abuse the system to get the medication that helps you, ruining it for everyone else. my meds are vital or else i wouldn’t be able to think or concentrate or do anything at all.

i wish someone would rip lucas a new one because he’s harming people who actually need those meds. kids like him are the reason it’s so hard to get medication we need, and why we get treated like we’re addicts who are faking a diagnosis just to get pills

Of course not. Without the game for 3 weeks and no credit for not be able to play. Pixelberry can learn a thing or two from the game Lovestruck.

[i-dream-so-i-write-deactivated2]

I’m not affected by the glitch (yet), but I agree. I think Lovestruck handles it very well, giving out a small number of free tickets when the game glitches and players are inconvenienced. It’s a small gesture and it makes people feel appreciated.

@playchoices players spend a lot of money on the game and the current issue has not been handled well. While no one is ever entitled to anything, a little gesture to acknowledge that people were inconvenienced and that their patience and continued support go a long way is appreciated.

i agree, it’s ridiculous. i haven’t been able to play since september 22, and i feel like i deserve some goddamn compensation.

they could also take a cue from cheritz, the team who makes the game mystic messenger. they’re also a very small company and dev team, and every time there has been a glitch or problem, they’re on it within a couple days, and they give users a bunch of hourglasses (equivalent of diamonds) as compensation. even though they always fix it in less than a week.

but we’ve been waiting a month and no compensation and just half-assed replies?

this is bullshit. @playchoices

[endlesscatalysts]

there’s now so many people who are having the crashing issue.

i hope this will speed things up. we need an update to get this fixed

please @playchoices, i just wanna play my game. i’ve been trying to avoid spoilers but while looking to see if there’s more people having the crashing issue but i’ve already been spoiled for some things and it’s really disappointing.

i don’t think i’m gonna get that special exclusive experience you get when playing the chapter yourself for the first time without knowing anything that happens, like i did when i was able to play the chapters when they came out each wednesday and friday. and that’s really frustrating. it’s a small thing, but it ruins the excitement and fun of playing the games for me. it’s near impossible to avoid spoilers when you’re just trying to find out if people are having the same issue as you with their games crashing.

i just. idk anymore

if you have an iPhone, and your game keeps crashing

go to your settings > privacy > analytics > make sure “share iPhone analytics” is enabled, and then make sure “share analytics with app developers” is enabled.

it will notify pixelberry every time there is a crash and send the crash report to them. you can even view the crash reports yourself if you look through “analytics data” and look for any report that starts with “Choices”

maybe this will get the problem fixed sooner.

[endlesscatalysts]

is pixelberry ever going to fix the crashing issue because i’m just. so tired of this bs

give us a fucking update to fix it or at least give us an idea of how much longer we’re going to have to deal with this shit. if you’re going to ignore it simply because it’s not happening to every single player then be upfront about it

i was able to fix it briefly by playing my game on an android emulator (my phone is an iPhone 6s plus) and that ended up correcting whatever had glitched on my phone’s version of my game. but then this past friday’s chapters had it happening all over again and i’m back to the crashing every time i try to open the app and it tries to redownload my game from the server. and it’s doing the same on the emulator version too

we’ve been dealing with this for weeks. i’ve contacted pixelberry so many times and they’ve all given me the same vague answer to wait for the next update. i’ve tried everything that i can to see if i can make it work again, and no luck. once this shit gets fixed we better get some sort of consolation reward for having to deal with this shit for weeks and not being able to play. @playchoices i’m really fed up and just angry with how this is being handled.

[endlesscatalysts]

@atumbral oh my GOD, i’m so sorry. that makes me so pissed! i really hope i don’t have to wait that long (and that you don’t have to wait any longer either!). it’s frustrating because it’s not happening to everyone, just some players, so i worry that they’ll push it to the side in favor of working on other things while all of us dealing with it are just stuck not being able to play. :(

[endlesscatalysts]

@asakti yeah! i sent them a message too, but i haven’t heard back yet either :/ i just want it to get fixed soon so that i can play the new chapters lol

[endlesscatalysts]

is anyone else having a problem with the app completely crashing every time you open it? mine’s been doing this since yesterday when the new chapters came out, and i’ve restarted my phone, restarted the app, reinstalled the app all several times and it still keeps happening. my phone has plenty of open storage too, so that’s not the issue. i haven’t been able to play the new chapters because of this, and i can’t send a report through the ‘help’ function on the app because it keeps crashing. @playchoices help plz

quinn dashing into the room late looking disheveled: sorry I’m late I was doing things

estela: i’m things ;)

sean dashing into the room late looking disheveled: sorry I’m late I was doing things

[dar-draws]

I cannot get it out of my head that Chris’ angry face just… doesn’t work as well as the other male LIs. A dog pout honestly, this guy.

[endlesscatalysts]

okay, so the spaceship guy (the endless?? idk) in the bonus scene for the last es chapter said “roulez a tombeau ouvert” to yvonne before disappearing, which roughly translates to “roll to open tomb”

am i the only one that thinks this is a clue for any upcoming chapters? like, maybe we’ll encounter a tomb or something, and there could to be a timed choice where we have to choose “roll” to get to it/get it open?

or it could be some abstract deep thing that doesn’t really affect the game and i’m just overanalyzing things idk

[somegdchoices]

It’s a French idiom. It just means, essentially, to hurry the fuck up (do whatever quickly, etc.). That’s why she ran out.
