I find it both heartwarming and absolutely hilarious that Buddy's existence made everyone simultaneously apologize to Barney for every mean thing we've ever said about him (including me).

Maybe this is the time...

SInce Danganronpa 2x2 was announced at a Nintendo Direct, maybe we'll find out the identity of Jane Danganronpa at this one.

Is it Ryota with bad fashion sense? Is it someone completely new who'll probably die in chapter 1 because Kodaka hates us?

Theory: Barney The Dinosaur is the same type of being as Pennywise AKA IT.

Think about it, they're both (presumably) immortal entities with the ability to shape people's perceptions of the world around them who also gain power off of the emotions of children, taking the form of something children would be drawn to in order to make that easier.

With Pennywise, it's fear, where with Barney, it's happiness and creativity.

Now I want to see them fight. Who do you think would win?

Here's a new take on the "hotdog sandwich" question. Is Shinri Trial a Fangan?

I have been addicted to this game for the past few days, and I posted this mostly to make fans more aware that it exists.

For context, Shinri Trial is an online multiplayer Danganronpa fangame that's heavy on roleplay and built into GMod. Originally, it was only playable in Russian, but recently, an English translation was released and the server can be found here (if you have Gmod installed.) https://api.shinri-trial.com/games/servers/preferred-hub/connect

Let the r/Fanganronpa civil war ensue!

I just watched this movie yesterday.

The pacing was a mess (to the point where I think this should've been a TV/streaming series instead of a movie), but I really enjoyed watching it.

What are character archetypes do you want to see as Rangers in the future?

For me, I'm surprised we never got a Power Ranger who was a straight up, black lipstick goth. The closest thing we got to a character like that is, I guess, Vida from Mystic Force.

Just like Vida, this character would be the Pink Ranger. She wouldn't actively dislike pink, but there would be a gag where she asks the Black Ranger to swap with her, where he says no.

I haven't seen anyone post about the fact that we got our first good look at one of the playable characters in Saw: Genesis. Let's change that.

How did you guys answer in the art of the survey about future titles?

As for the written question, I'd like to see a game where seemingly innocuous decisions impact major plot elements, like the Dr. Hill segments in Until Dawn but expanded.

Specifically, I think it'd be really cool if one of the Dark Pictures games was a Scream-style murder mystery slasher where during each Curator segments, he asks you 3 seemingly pointless questions out of a pool of about 100.

The questions may seem pointless, but they actually determine who the killer is. They could be one of the supporting characters or they could be one of the player characters (maybe even the one the player customized themself if they're adding that feature).

There are people who don't think V3 and its ending should be revisited. I disagree. Here's why.

I want to see V3s universe explored in a future game because of all the interesting questions the ending brings up.

  1. What's the deal with the Flashback Lights (and the Exisals to a lesser degree)?

https://preview.redd.it/boh6wlrqnghh1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=7787d80980f336b2a95129897b700820f380a983

I mean, this is some military-grade shit that far passes beyond current science (not to mention K1-B0, which is a whole other thing) and the people who have it are... an anime company making a reality show? How did they get their hands on this technology? Is the company wealthy enough to buy them or did they acquire them through more... sinister means?

  1. Even if the characters that died are still alive in the real world, the whole premise is just kind of an ethical and legal nightmare. What's up with that?

https://preview.redd.it/ah70gt84pghh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6c73cd7633cd23f1e32b47f7a7ffaeb181fb5d3

No matter if the cast is still alive or dead, they genuinely believed this was happening to them. Even if the dead characters come out the other end alive and well, that still has to really fuck with their heads, especially the characters that die. For example, last thing Kaede knew, she was a MURDERER and just died one of the most painful and fucked up deaths.

Hope those therapy bills for your traumatized daughter are worth it, Mr./Mrs. Akamatsu!

There is no way Team Danganronpa ends this without at least 16 lawsuits, and there is DEFINITELY no way Team Danganronpa wasn't aware of this risk. So... why did they go through with it?

And if they have no problem with this... what else are they capable of?

  1. Who is Tsumugi, REALLY?

https://preview.redd.it/3hoy7c5vqghh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=f00b11be236e33dc22d0a6307fe90677b606870a

Unlike Junko, we know next to nothing about Mastermind Tsumugi. All we know is that she's a member of Team Danganronpa and was such a huge fan of the show she eventually wrote for that she grew to have no sympathy towards people who participated in the Killing Game, if not most people.

Given her young age, my theory is that she was some kind of intern, assistant, or maybe even an apprentice to the costume designer. If that's the case, how did she end up writing an entire season and how much influence did she really have on the way things played out?

How much of it was her idea and how much of it was a corporate mandate? Is she the one at the top? Then how did she get there despite presumably still being in high school? Is there someone she answers to? If yes, who?

And that's not to mention her mastermind reveal and death.

If she's really dead, well, she's dead and that means Team Danganronpa basically sentenced this random girl to death simply because she was there.

https://preview.redd.it/iej4dip6ughh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=e263ebdd70a68930aca9be8b14da7bd73f3acf20

However, if she's alive, she can never show her face in public again (or at least, she may not want to). The viewers would probably see her as, at best, a hack, and at worst, a murderer. Either way, her reputation is completely fucked. Either one of those fits into, again, the ethical and probably legal nightmare Team Danganronpa will inevitably face, which begs the question of, again, why they'd go through with all of this.

https://preview.redd.it/cstus8r8ughh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3fef7ac87e39ea50f868f4972374e84ef5e9ff7

  1. With all of this, it begs the question, who is the REAL mastermind behind Team Danganronpa, and what is their mindset like?

https://preview.redd.it/ykt66m32vghh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=89b89cf2bceb52b625eabc22095a579cb1d2d76d

A person capable of doing all of this with no regard for the ramifications of what they're doing sounds like a major psychopath with an incredibly fucked up mind...

And thus, a PERFECT fit for a series like Danganronpa! A character like that would be incredibly interesting to explore and maybe even face off against in a potential sequel.

How low could they sink?

What are they planning to do next after Danganronpa V3 failed and their only scapegoat is either dead or turned against them?

Was the show the only thing holding them back from causing true despair or do they have some kind of contingency plan?

How much influence does this individual have on the rest of the world?

And finally, how would the survivors of V3 handle this possibly dangerous threat knowing they had a hand in determining what this dangerous CEO does next? Would they keep a low profile or would they go on the offense?

https://preview.redd.it/1t5ls0j8wghh1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9c946e39ee369e6a69abe48df306db085e8dd59

Basically, even if V3's ending had nothing to do with any info the game gave us, there's still a lot that can be done and answered.

After all, Danganronpa is a mystery game. And the point of a mystery is for it to eventually be solved.

[GOG] Fallout 4 [Steam] gifted by... Anonymous, I guess? They didn't comment on my post, so I don't know what their Reddit is.

OMG, I did not expect that this would work! Whoever you are, thank you so much!

Their Steam account is private, so I'd rather not share it around, but I will share the note they left for me.

"Here is a gift from House Wuulverhyan. Hope you have and enjoy countless hours of enjoyment!"

"Thrayn ormae veyna, juvá frÿsa talo."

I tried to translate that 2nd part, but nothing I used made sense. Is this a Fallout reference I don't get or was I just gifted a game by a cult?

Anyway, thanks a bunch, whoever you are! :)

There's a feature that I'm surprised hasn't made it into any Power Rangers video game and I have no idea why.

If there's a Battle For The Grid 2 at some point (please make that a thing, MWay), I think it's mandatory that they include a feature that lets us make our own ranger.

They wouldn't even have to design anything new. Just let the player mix and match suit pieces from different parts of the series. Imagine making a Red Ranger loadout with the In Space helmet, Turbo upper body, Samurai lower body, and the Magi Staff sword from Mystic Force as the weapon.

https://preview.redd.it/1n7u8mxy1lgh1.png?width=572&format=png&auto=webp&s=225b8fa91e1f7969fb7a149d3b8c0864811e0b38

Also, there wouldn't be any gender-locking, so you could make a female red ranger or male pink ranger if you want. You could even decide whether or not they have a skirt.

What personal headcanon(s) do you have about the game?

Mine is that nearly all the characters speak with a British accent, with some exceptions like Fin (Irish), the Hawthornes (Scottish), and Kai and Tano (no idea, maybe some kind of Asian dialect).
