i can't believe Kubikiri Cycle got a video game adaptation

#Joganropa

so this is clearly difficulty settings, but knowing nothing about the danganropa gameplay means i dont know how to set this so i'll just go with medium?

#Joganropa

ps if you dont want this on your tl, just mute the hashtag. for those that don't, i'll be tagging things that need specific tags, such as transphobia or ableism

#Joganropa

menu music is a bit of a bop, tho

#Joganropa

accidently selected the dub so need to go undo that but also i heard about half a line of the dub and i already hate it

#Joganropa

what i'm hearing is that this is actually the school from Kubitsuri

#Joganropa

if you're expecting me to stop making Zaregoto references any time soon then you clearly do not know me anyway this kid is basically just Iisan

#Joganropa

...and also a little Koyomi Araragi in him, too

#Joganropa

hi i'm jolyne my entire personality is Nisioisin

#Joganropa

#Joganropa

"Ultimate Fanfic Creator" is just me

#Joganropa

zetsubou

#Joganropa

okay changing the hashtag to #Joganronpa because i didnt realize i made a typo

this is charming

#Joganronpa

is it not normal for classrooms to have TVs in them? every classroom i was in had one, or at least had a projector setup to act as one

#Joganronpa

wasn't expecting this to have actual movement controls. huh

they're pretty clunky, tho

#Joganronpa

the girl in the back there has Bake Hanekawa energy

#Joganronpa

these are good designs

#Joganronpa

the ultimate fanfic creator doesn't seem to be a woman, so he has to be queer in some way or another

#Joganronpa

baseball boy has me sold. very "forge my own destiny" energy

#Joganronpa

this game has a really good cast. ive generally been liking everyone a lot so far

#Joganronpa

also Toko is basically Hanekawa by way of Sodac *is shot*

#Joganronpa

oh look it's a fucking cop

#Joganronpa

she's good, tho

#Joganronpa

gonna skip to just the intros for the rest of this bit to cut down on tweets, i think

#Joganronpa

Ultimate Swimmer is mid
Kyoko reminds me of Lysithea Fireemblem
Junko seems neat, ive heard a little about her
of course the trans one is a programmer

#Joganronpa

Hiro is... interesting
Sakura is uuuuuuuugh
in the time between my screenshot and posting this i forgot about the bougie fuckhead
Celestia seems really great, A+ fashion aesthetic

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

so i know which one is the trans one, but i dont actually know which one is the plural one and i dont want people to spoil me on that i want to be disappointed in real time

#Joganronpa

see, the right answer here is to find someone to sacrifice so the others can go

#Joganronpa

Kyubey vibes

#Joganronpa

i remember emily posting this at one point, i think

this pose, at least, different background

#Joganronpa

zetsubou

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

how do i backread on steam? the game said f2, but pressing that does nothing

#Joganronpa

wait nevermind that just unlocked

#Joganronpa

so now that i have a full cast list to reference: a ranked list of danganronpa characters as of the chapter one:

1. Celeste
2. Toko
3. Kyoko
4. Chihiro
5. Junko
6. Sayaka
7. other characters

#Joganronpa

...i got a coin?

#Joganronpa

lol

#Joganronpa

love this set a lot

#Joganronpa

this game's bgm is super solid

#Joganronpa

when you put it that way, it sounds trans

#Joganronpa

on one hand, this is bad

on the other, i now ship these two

#Joganronpa

best girl energy

#Joganronpa

what the fuck is this cis bullshit

#Joganronpa

Sayaka is absolutely psychic

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

Bananice!

#Joganronpa

okay Maokoto Shinkai

#Joganronpa

i got a skill what does it do?

#Joganronpa

oh no

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

Monokuma said ACAB

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

Emily

#Joganronpa

dude, really?

#Joganronpa

not content is mere cis bullshit, Danganronpa has decided to dive deep into allo bullshit

#Joganronpa

first death?

#Joganronpa

first death!

i wasnt actually expecting her to die because she felt like the MC's love interest

#Joganronpa

Phoenix Wright time

#Joganronpa

oh shit, i actually liked her

#Joganronpa

and now her body is going to be laying around for the rest of the scene, isn't it?

#Joganronpa

Sodachi energy

#Joganronpa

it's been nearly two weeks

i have no idea what i was supposed to be doing

solving a murder, yeah, but what specifically

#Joganronpa

there we go

#Joganronpa

sigh

#Joganronpa

why does it have to be the fanfic writer who's like this

#Joganronpa

does he die? i want him to die

#Joganronpa

i'm still missing three truth bullets and i have no idea where else i should be looking

#Joganronpa

my dude,

#Joganronpa

OH FUN

#Joganronpa

they're standing...

#Joganronpa

...huh

#Joganronpa

hmmm

#Joganronpa

cop

#Joganronpa

took a while to get here, but this had been obvious for like five or ten minutes

#Joganronpa

and here i was thinking it was "reoll"

#Joganronpa

holy shit

#Joganronpa

baseball boy...

#Joganronpa

this came together really well

#Joganronpa

i'm playing on my laptop and thus scrolling is fucked, how do i access other truth panels?

#Joganronpa

ended up plugging my desktop mouse lol

#Joganronpa

can i skip the rhythm game, or should i just quit now?

#Joganronpa

seriously, this is the kind of bullshit that makes me consider quitting the game on the spot

#Joganronpa

i have no idea what i'm even supposed to be doing because the mechanic was explained poorly

this game just absolutely tanked itself. i like it so much, but this is seemingly literally impossible for me to do

#Joganronpa

i have motor control issues and im using this as my mouse, why am I expected to be able to deal with this shit

#Joganronpa

i wanted to play a visual novel, not struggle with bullshit minigames

#Joganronpa

what i mean here is that the mechanics literally do not work with my laptop

this is something that is impossible for me

this is bullshit

#Joganronpa

ive failed four or five times now because the devs didn't think to make their game playable

#Joganronpa

i also can't save or exit or anything, so if i quit here, i lose all the progress ive made in the last hour or so

this is bad game design and Danganronpa is a bad game for it

#Joganronpa

finally beat it

that took a fucking month

#Joganronpa

F

#Joganronpa

"There's nothing more unethical than an unwavering sense of justice" is a fucking Monogatari quote

#Joganronpa

damn

#Joganronpa

they all just watched that happen, didn't they? like, not even looking away? wtf

#Joganronpa

this was good except when it was trying to be a game, which was bad

#Joganronpa

how many chapters are there?

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

this line feels... bad

#Joganronpa

i like her

#Joganronpa

Chihiro: says this

people online: not trans tho

#Joganronpa

i'm subtweeting a very specific mutual here btw

#Joganronpa

sigh

#Joganronpa

the choice to translate "doujin" as "fanfic" here is really not working out

#Joganronpa

wait fuck i just realized

#Joganronpa

Celeste is getting more screen time and now i'm worrying that she will either be killed or be the killer

#Joganronpa

she's great tho

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

"You were like a totally different person just now" in a game where i know there's a plural character

#Joganronpa

Celeste is trans btw

#Joganronpa

damn

this is also big exposition because it tells the audience that she's used to people around her dying

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

dude

#Joganronpa

_ _
3

#Joganronpa

further evidence for "Celeste is trans"

#Joganronpa

she says her parents picked it, i dont believe that. she's trans

#Joganronpa

how the fuck am i supposed to know this?

#Joganronpa

fuck you

#Joganronpa

...

#Joganronpa

sigh

#Joganronpa

pacifism is a great way to appeal a character to me

#Joganronpa

literally the worst character is the one saying acab...

#Joganronpa

i hate you. i fucking loathe you. but. that's a really good idea

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

right. because she's trans

#Joganronpa

she's also good

#Joganronpa

ah.

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

ah.

#Joganronpa

this is another area where i have scattered spoilers.

pretty sure this is the plural stuff. my guess is Celeste or Toko

#Joganronpa

i could also be massively off base here lmao

#Joganronpa

ah.

#Joganronpa

"No one person has that many pairs of eyes."

#Joganronpa

the last tweet got two likes. clearly i'm correct here

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

sigh

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

well this just says it outright

#Joganronpa

so like

now i know who did it

...can i skip to the class trial now?

#Joganronpa

FUCK

#Joganronpa https://twitter.com/KosmicKitsune/status/1243992430908768256

https://twitter.com/KosmicKitsune/status/1243992430908768256

#Joganronpa

i have to imagine that even without spoilers and knowing about plurality, that this is incredibly obvious and forced

#Joganronpa

anyway, at this point two of my faves are dead* and another is the killer. things aren't looking good for Celeste

*yeah i know about Junko

#Joganronpa

you know what

i'm done here lmao

#Joganronpa

i'll play more later

#Joganronpa

best part about this tweet is that i was thinking about it earlier today and had the thought "y'know what? i think she has more Sodachi energy", almost tweeted it, but then didnt. i fucking set myself up for this so much

#Joganronpa https://twitter.com/StudentOfEth/status/1225985588622430209

https://twitter.com/StudentOfEth/status/1225985588622430209

is the game really doing this? sigh

#Joganronpa

Danganronpa said society rights

#Joganronpa

this is so fucking dumb

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

and now begins my campaign to find something, anything worth redeeming in this

at least they didn't call it MPD here

#Joganronpa

death game by way of murder bear? totally believable

two people sharing a body? impossible

#Joganronpa

so what is Syo's gender, anyway?

#Joganronpa

I-

#Joganronpa

sigh. here we go

#Joganronpa

okay this is just fucking convoluted

#Joganronpa

ffs

#Joganronpa

here is the point where i say: cw transphobia. if you don't want that on your timeline, mute this thread

#Joganronpa

ah. suppose that's not quite here yet. it's still deeply uncomfortable

#Joganronpa

this chapter is honestly pretty atrocious so far, but it has endeared me to Aoi a ton

#Joganronpa

i am going to punch *googles* i cant actually tell who's to blame for this so i;m going with the writer

i am going to punch Kazutaka Kodaka

#Joganronpa

who should i be threatening to punch, now that i think about it?

#Joganronpa

...he just said it

are they trying to hide this at all???

#Joganronpa

fuck it. let's finish up this hell

#Joganronpa

well, we got here quickly

#Joganronpa

oh no

#Joganronpa

thanks i fucking hate it

#Joganronpa

here's a good Celeste. might just post these for the rest of the class trial

#Joganronpa

this doesn't just suck for its ableism, this is also just terrible writing in general

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

oh, this should be interesting, at least

#Joganronpa

wait they arent even consistent with how they changed Syo's name???

#Joganronpa

I actually agree with Syo here

#Joganronpa

did Syo just say everyone is plural?

#Joganronpa

Syo is a ton of fun, at least. definitely one of the most entertaining cast members so far

Syo deserved more screen time before the class trial, i think

#Joganronpa

lol so Syo is really just Senjougahara Hitagi

#Joganronpa

not at all! every time i post this screenshot, it's specifically in place of a screenshot from the trial that i took but didn't use

#Joganronpa https://twitter.com/KosmicKitsune/status/1244498464886665216

https://twitter.com/KosmicKitsune/status/1244498464886665216

#Joganronpa

good timing, Ashley

#Joganronpa

so now i'm considerably happier about this

#Joganronpa

unfortunately, seems my tweets are getting caught in a spam filter, so i'll need to retire this Celeste for now

#Joganronpa

he just admitted to it...

#Joganronpa

the answer is lesbians

#Joganronpa

here we go with the gender bullshit

#Joganronpa

someone mentioned earlier that this happens

#Joganronpa

why does Kyoko have to be the transphobic one here? i really liked her before this

#Joganronpa

so i can actually save right now. i could take this opportunity to just. stop. and never come back

Sakura you of all people should not be terf

#Joganronpa

Byakuya being unwilling to say fuck is great characterization

#Joganronpa

yeah i can definitely say i didnt guess where this trial was going. never liked him, tho, so im glad he's gone

#Joganronpa

very good Celeste

#Joganronpa

i'm just skipping past all the post-roulette dialogue here

#Joganronpa

Crazy Diamond...

#Joganronpa

trial over

that was a trainwreck. hopefully it gets better from here

the fact that Toko and Syo are here to stay is incredibly promising and honestly the thing that has me most interested in playing more right now

#Joganronpa

oh hey Junko. you look different

#Joganronpa

okay

so

oof

#Joganronpa

that was really bad. atrocious. if i hadn't been doing my joke about only posting Celeste screencaps, i just wouldn't have tweeted that at all.

but

at least the writing for the characters i like was good

#Joganronpa

despite everything, i really love Toko & Syo, and i'm really excited to see where that goes. Celeste remains a fav. Chihiro's dialogue, little that she got in the grand scheme of things, was good. i didnt expect to like Aoi, but i can see her continuing to grow on me

#Joganronpa

going forward, i'm just going to ignore as many plot points from this chapter as i can and enjoy the characters i like until they all die

#Joganronpa

and for the record, chapter two genuinely pissed me off. i tried playing it off like a joke, but i was really close to just dropping the game again

#Joganronpa

tho i will say i was expecting plural stuff to be a lot worse than it ended up being

#Joganronpa

two chapters in, i would rank the cast as such:
1. Toko/Syo
2. Celeste
3. Junko
4. Sayaka
5. Chihiro
6. Kyoko
7. Aoi
8. Byakuya

i dont like any of the others enough to rank them

#Joganronpa

switch Aoi and Chihiro, actually

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

what.

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

i feel like i havent really mentioned this, but i really do love Celeste's whole "we're here, might as well make the best of it" thing. it's endearing

#Joganronpa

#Joganronpa

hell yeah

#Joganronpa

given how everything with Chihiro went, i'm honestly surprised this is turning out as well as it is

but like

i'm fucking here for this. let's go

#Joganronpa
