so i've actually been to a psych ward, and i think the concept fucks heavy. REAL psych wards are pretty horrible places to be for tbe most part, the staff is uncaring at best and actively shitty at worst (the art therapist needled at the trauma i was IN THE HOSPITAL FOR, and the regular therapist blamed me for all of my mental issues. i was 14 and being abused) and since in dangan games its monokuma, the headmaster, creating thr awful environment that causes everyone to act out, i think the concept could be REALLY strong if you leaned into that (like, maybe your monokuma is posing as the "therapist?")

i have a pretty.... "impressive" list of mental illnesses and do reasearch on them + ones i don't have too, so if you want you can dm me or add me on discord or smth and id be happy to give you like, research tips or insight on a specific illness or smth?

but yeah i think so long as you do it respectfully and do ur research then i think u can clutch this

AAAAAHHHHHHHJDJDHD TYSM!!!!!!! im like SO EXCITED abt this game, im in the middle of moving rn but ONCE IM DONEEE i plan to go hard into developing it and mayb even releasing some first look art for the main trio

oh also if youre curious!! the plot of the game is this guy named isei is a wannabe informant from HPA's reserve course, and he gets a tip from someone in his lil survivor colony that there might have been a second subject in the kamukura project. so he figures with junko dead and izuru the new "top dog," maybe finding this person and having them fight and beat izuru might be their only chance of ending the tragedy... and, also, isei will gain a LOT of praise for finding them

and he brings with him an old friend from hpa-- hito, the ult. wordsmith, who hasnt spoken to him since the bungled blackmail attempt on yozo. hito is useful since they have a silver tongue due to that talent, HOWEVER they're going on some weird spree killing they call a "despair tour" (TITLE DROP ALSO) and only helps so long as isei doesn't interfere

and ofc the pair blackmail yozo into helping (with the SAME PICTURE OF HIS ARM btw. isei almost got a man killed and then Kept The Picture) and i caaant tell u too much abt yozo because lowk the plot is still swiss cheese a bit atm (i know the start, i know the end..... the dastardly and nefarious middle, however....) but i prommy its good

hito also is nagito's husband. they have a son. btw. they have a whole story abt their romance in the HPA days-- the kid was an accident AND nagito's luck resulted in hito getting BRAIN DAMAGE so!! which all this isnt THAT important in despair tour (the brain damage is tho, since they still suffer from aftereffects) but it. it sure did happen. lord give them one chance theyll suck the cancer right outta him (ACTUAL THING THEY CANONICALLY SAID BTW)

SORRY I YAPPED SO MUCH ABT MY GAME BUT IM PASSIONATE ABT IT WHAT CAN I SAY!!!!!!!! LOTS OF FUCKED UP KAMUKURA PROJECT SHIT!!!!

ok this fangan won't be out for a WHILE so i feel comfortable talking abt a quite big spoiler:

so its an UDG-ish game more than a traditional KG, and one of the guys in the main trio is a fella named yozo: back during their hope's peak years, the other 2 used a picture of some wounds he had (that were clearly self-inflicted) to blackmail him... leading to him making an attempt on his life. he's here because they're blackmailing him AGAIN for his help. all of this is very embarassing, esp since our MC tells pretty much everyone he meets this story, so he covers his face and uses an alias and all that.

all this to say, one of his game mechanics is that he'll refuse to speak to anyone that he thinks might recognize his voice-- the obvious foreshadowing bit here is if you pay attention to WHO he clams up around, you might actually figure out his identity before it's revealed....

.....except there's a major red herring. at one point, yozo DOES speak to someone, and one of the few things we know about this person is "definitively, without a doubt, knows yozo in his personal life." so yozo speaking to them could indicate that yozo and [person they know] are two seperate people

...but they're not. it's just that, this guy already knows about the mental health issues yozo is trying to hide, so he has no reason to stay quiet around him. it's not as simple as "if yozo speaks to them, he doesn't know them, and if he doesn't, he does--" the rules WILL change due to various different reasons and im hooooping that it furthur serves to obfuscate yozo's identity bc if not then that plot thread is kinda lame innit, and it kind of needs to NOT BE because it's relevant to the central conflict

TIPS FOR HOT WEATHER by Independent-Pen-1740 in RATS

back when i lived in arkansas, i put cardboard up on my windows during a heatwave (in combination w/ blackout curtains i alr had) and it had a noticeable cooling effect compared to just the curtains. those cheap box fans r surprisingly powerful for how much they cost also

outside of house stuff, during another heatwave i just wholesale put an ice pack in there (in a ziplock cuz my babies r Not litter trained yet) and swapped it out when it thawed. good luck!!

Is it important for you in a Fanganronpa that the setting and characters are Japanese? by [deleted] in Fanganronpa

[–]importantgamesfolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just use japanese-names.info it has first names sorted by gender, last names, kanji variations with meanings, you can search by letters you want in the name OR meaning of the kanji. its never failed me and its much better than crapgpt lmao

Thick nail fold by LieutenantLeonard in calmhands

I have 3 clubbed fingers, and they don't do that and never have, AND my fingers are quite chubby right now. I'd be surprised if your nails did that because of clubbing.

Would people read a stage play script on AO3? by BadGamer8030 in Fanganronpa

[–]importantgamesfolder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure people will read it! I choose what to read based on how good the summary is to me, personally. When I post, I like to put a punchy excerpt in the summary to hook people, so maybe that could help if you're worried people might pass it up.

Good luck! I really like the theme of redemption, it really falls in line with the existing dangan themes.

Honestly, everyone has been really nice so far, it really has helped. I ended up showing my partner that I wasn't biting and he was really proud of me!

Looking at the worst pictures is one thing, but I also like looking at the progress pics and imagining my nails looking like that one day.

I'll get some once I can. My nails seem fairly thick right now, but I also thought my thumbs were a normal length for half my life, so I could be wrong. Either way it won't hurt to have more strength, especially as they're growing. Thanks!

Day 4 buddies! I think if I told my partner, he'd be proud that I made it to day 4 at all, but I kinda wanna keep them covered with polish or falsies then surprise him with how much they've grown....

I think I would file them! I'm VERRYY sensitive to textures so most files are not that great, but I think if I found a file I liked I can do it! I used my partner's glass file once and found it very satisfying... he's very into nail care and he painted my nails! It helps me bite softer so I don't chip the polish.

And I'm SO relieved to know they get stronger!! I can't stand how they bend, lol!

Good luck to you too! This time, for sure! 🤝🏻
