Board 8 > Name's Mondo Owata. Nice to fuckin' meetcha

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mahiru's quirk is being a normal girl who can exists IRL. That's great.
---

She felt a little too normal to me but I understand the appeal
---

I mean 95% of the appeal is just that I like ginger girls and I'm not far enough into the game to have really developed strong feelings about most of the characters

That's the Bullet Time Ba-... SORRY

The PANIC TALK ACTION
---

ok so the Panic Talk Action really doesn't seem to work well for me

like when it seems like I should easily be hitting the mark along the rhythm, I'm getting a LOT of misses, almost like it doesn't seem calibrated right?

Yeah the instructions on this are FUCKED. I beat the game before I figured it out.

You're supposed to hold and release between the dots. Like, hit x when you hit a dot, release at the next dot, and then hold again at the next dot.

wait really?

I didn't get that at all

Yeah I don't actually think they say it.

Your pain here in not unique, lol.
---

Nagito basically seems like a villainous exaggeration of Makoto, which is hilarious
---

Nagito Komaeda
Na gi to Ko ma e da
Na e gi Ma ko to da (da is a Japanese particle which in this context means like "This is Makoto Naegi")
---

To clarify, even though it looks like Raka just dropped an enormous end game spoiler and ruined it, that was just a marketing thing to drum up interest.
---

Or is it
---

Best character Nagito has arrived. That laugh in the trial is incredible.
---

oh hey i checked on this topic just in time to see you've met naGOATo
---

also rip muppet perv
---

The main draw of DR for me are the trials and those in 2 are just so much better and more unpredictably

Not exactly a big loss tbh

DR2 did the smart thing and made sure to kill its worst character off right away.
---

I was going to make a joke about nagito still being around but gun to my head I'd take him over cookguy
---

"Welcome to the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!"

Ibuki really striving for that best character slot
---

although Mahiru's "JEEEEEEEEEEZ" is still my favorite voice clip so far

doesn't touch PIECE AH SHIT though
---

chiaka won't let me explore the ruins

not sure if that's supposed to be her being suspicious or the game just making an excuse to not let me explore it until farther in the story
---

sparkling justice hmmm

I wonder which of the people on the island that coincidentally is

Never in question.

Nagito is best boy all the haters get a hearty "lol"
---

Best boy on the list of worst characters? Sure, miles above Yasuhiro.
---

...oh, I got Mahiru's underwear
---

also I just got A Man's Nut from the monokuma machine

I vaguely remember hearing something about that item being special but not sure how

For the second time in a row you have unwittingly activated the locker room scene.

DR2 has special scenes for every chapter, so make sure you are getting as many monomachine items as possible. I don't think you can get chapter 1's on a first playthrough, so don't sweat that.
---

playing the video game

Forgiveeeeeeeeeeeeeee meeeeeeeeeeeeee!

...hmm, that sounds familiar
---

ok so the pervy "checking out the women one by one as they walk in in bikinis" thing got old quick

but I laughed when Sonia showed up in a wetsuit
---

damn it

of course it kills off Mahiru

guess I'm glad I maxed out my stats with her while I had the chance

Welcome to Danganronpa - Your waifu will die.

Rather, he would have if he had gotten it earlier. That scene is at the start of Chapter 2. Since he got it after mentioning maxing Mahiru's Link he would have hit Chapter 2 Free Time and thus be past it.

Yeah, that is unfortunate.

I assume that would've been the Mahiru/other girl scene?

some of these names are hard to remember
---

Yeah. Hiyoko is the other girl's name.
---

also I need to stop playing this immediately after getting home from work because this is the 2nd time in a row I've just passed out a few minutes in

visual novels lose some appeal when you're dead tired

Maaaaaan would have loved for Mahiru to get more. Had to lose someone early I guess.

Thank god for V3's board game with all of the characters from all the games in school antics.

Can't play it until you beat the game, sadly!

Which makes sense as not to spoil character traits.
---

Mahiru was one of those characters that seemed really abrasive and unpleasant on the surface. If you let go of first impressions and got to know her though, she was really quite sweet.
---

mahiru started the game pretty high up on my rankings since she was among the least bad. as you go though, many other characters will surpass her due to their screen time.

That's a thing in DR1 also lol

I still think Mahiru is boring, sorry not sorry
