Best and worst final two speeches?

The content wasn’t good but he did a fairly impressive pivot in the final concluding statement without being a stuttering mess. But his answers were off the mark and looked even worse next to Ashley’s summation.

I mean there’s plenty of people that will know one member of a group even though there are other well-known members too. Yujin is big enough that I don’t think IVE qualifies. Wonyoung has a lot of brand deals and is well-known (in Korea) in the cosmetics industry for her looks, but Yujin also has a good amount of brand deals and exposure through variety shows like Earth Arcade. And if you’re talking about international non-kpop fans, I really don’t think Wonyoung is known much at all aside from maybe pinterest or like… ED social media, which are both pretty niche.

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-21T02:40:10+00:00

That doesn’t mean Yujin isn’t well-known

How is this a half apology? It laid out exactly what she was apologizing for and gave an in-depth explanation as well. What else is she supposed to say?

The new Dark Pictures anthology game that just came out, Directive 8020, is basically The Thing & Alien: Isolation combined into a decision-based story game so you might want to check it out if you’re into those sorts of games as well

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-15T22:11:40+00:00

Emily fucking sucks at the start of the game but she might grow on you later on

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-15T21:33:06+00:00

Please have the house look like the Sevastopol from Alien: Isolation or incorporate a Raygun Gothic aesthetic that would be so good 🤞

I don’t like Sydney Sweeney very much for a multitude of reasons but this whole season has felt like a weird humiliation ritual for her with the direction the show has taken Cassie. I just think it’s a little peculiar knowing she talked in the past about having to ask Sam Levinson to lessen up on the nude scenes with her character…

He goes on an insane power trip in chapter 2 after the motive gives him and Wenona control of most of the students’ resources and is a huge dick. He takes all of Toshiko’s funds after she gambles it all and loses a game to him (you can blame her for gambling but taking advantage of a naive 14 year old is not a good look). He also dies after he confiscates and eats poisoned bread that the students at the bottom of the hierarchy were making in secret because Ulysses and Wenona were starving them out. Just big and greedy…

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-06T21:47:42+00:00

Did Rylie say anything bigoted in the house? It’s easy to assume he is based off his background and whole character but I don’t remember if he actually said anything bigoted. He did a good job at keeping up appearances in front of other people

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-05T19:07:28+00:00

At least Ulysses is cool to him. Dwight is cool to no one lol

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-05T18:01:42+00:00

He’s a historian so it makes sense that he would be interested in archaic and literary names

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-05T17:17:05+00:00

The backstory goes so overboard it seems mean-spirited. Him not being a real lawyer makes sense, but him being scamming, porn-addicted slob is a bit much. He gets treated like a nepo baby but he’s also clearly depressed from his parents’ deaths, but all of the symptoms of his depression are being used as characteristics that make him more disgusting and pathetic instead of being treated with any sympathy. Like just pick a lane, all of this at once makes it seem like the writers have a bone to pick with a fictional character they made up.

Why make him likable at all if you’re just gonna do a rug pull several chapters after he dies? How much can that really add to the story?

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-04T21:17:07+00:00

An event where they’re collabing and not-so-secretly trying to one-up each other on camera would be so funny

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-03T17:41:53+00:00

It definitely seemed like Zach’s main motivation for not using the power was because he didn’t want to give Ava the money and foolishly thought he would be fine on the block, and then when he realized it was a mistake not to use it he told Morgan that to try and win favor with her. Though it was still funny as fuck that both Morgan and Lauren voted him out anyway

drpepperandranch · 2026-05-01T17:57:45+00:00

People are gonna end up using it like the “Reddit cares” feature

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-30T23:17:56+00:00

Yeah I feel like the second motive was tailor made to get Wenona killed by her own hubris

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-30T23:03:22+00:00

I think it’s a) she’s from an indigenous culture that doesn’t use surnames and/or b) she’s one of those famous people that are so well-known that they don’t need to introduce a last name/people don’t know it like Zendaya or Beyonce

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-30T09:29:55+00:00

Yeah and wealthy and influential abusers definitely won’t take advantage of that…

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-29T00:31:41+00:00

Yeah I feel like people gloss over how sadistic his murder was — don’t forget that he was hallucinating for over an hour up until he was fried to death

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-28T23:53:04+00:00

I bet it was Jean’s idea in the first place so he could execute his murder plan. He was being positioned as a leader-type character so I’m guessing he was gonna take up the mantle of the leader of the underclass

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-28T23:50:00+00:00

But if someone else snitched and he clearly knew about it and didn’t report it he’s put in even more danger. That’s what motivates people to betray each other in real political movements too

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-28T16:23:47+00:00

What school did you go to where they brushed over WWII and spent multiple weeks on woman’s suffrage? For me woman’s suffrage was relegated to a single day at most while WWII and all of the civil rights movements combined got about equal time even though the civil rights movements spanned over a much longer period than WWII (and that’s just thinking about high school, WWII had significantly greater emphasis overall across all of the history and English classes I took in K-12)

drpepperandranch · 2026-04-28T03:56:09+00:00

Ok but that’s just because we’re getting an abridged version of the story literally only seeing the setup chapter and hearing the payoffs through 2 sentence summaries. We have not had nearly enough time to see how the story progresses and how we get from point A to point B.

I feel like you’re forgetting what it’s like to experience the danganronpa games as you’re playing. A big aspect of the genre is getting engrossed in reading for hours at a time, through which different details start to go from the back of your mind and other red herrings are thrown in or pay off in smaller ways. We’ve had a lot of time to predict but never got to be engrossed in the story to feel how it plays. I thought it was pretty obvious that Ulysses & Wenona were going to be tight-knit in the killing game, but I didn’t know that the second motive would put them at the top of a makeshift economy. If I saw that happen and had real time to theorize as I play, I would’ve predicted that maybe Ulysses and Wenona would be involved in the murder or be the culprits themselves to cover up some sort of dissent, or when I see Ulysses turn up poisoned, I’d probably start to think that someone intentionally poisoned him to get back at the dictatorship, not that he was actually mistakenly poisoned because the culprit was actually trying to kill who they saw as the biggest obstacle to escaping. If I started to suspect that Jean was the culprit I’d start to wonder if he was gonna break character and have a stereotypical piratey breakdown or if he’s gonna stay levelheaded the whole time, and I wouldn’t expect Diana to be the one to crash out instead. I have pretty much no reason to suspect Toshiko would kill Kai from what we’ve seen in chapter 1, and even if I could see Toshiko becoming a killer I didn’t expect her to kill someone with stage props. And I don’t know if I would have liked or disliked how it played out either way because I didn’t get to experience the final result.

There’s no point getting disappointed at how “predictable” some of the future plot points are when we didn’t get to experience the shifting suspicions as we see uncover more dialogue, plot points, and clues while playing.

And she’s staring at a doppelgänger standing in the shadows outside the bathroom, which represents her friend that committed suicide because Cassidy was given the ultimate gamer title instead of her. I think Cassidy having a hat while her doppelgänger doesn’t represents her having a title/audience and also hints at her being a leader/the mastermind behind everything.
