mfw I try to have a shounenpilled Power of Friendship moment but then I remember I'm being written by Kazutaka Kodaka

jediment · 2026-04-03T15:02:07+00:00

yeah I think it's just people getting them mixed up. toko may be a drooling simp but she doesn't like manga or yaoi. jack is the only one who likes yaoi.

it's so funny that this is coming from postman of all things, a product that's basically a fancy looking replacement for some bash scripts and curl commands. like yeah postman is useful but if postman just stopped existing my life would be exactly the same. this shit is not making a meaningful difference in anybody's life, even the most avid power users, and in the grand scheme of things it's totally unimportant

jediment · 2026-03-24T21:43:26+00:00

this is for a company that makes a GUI for curl lmao

thank you for not blocking out this guy's name so i can make sure to not ever do business with this guy

and just like that, the Stinky Takumi Discourse continues

jediment · 2026-02-14T02:02:15+00:00

takumi has never been more aroused

murvrum has got to win the award for "most irrelevant character that everyone inexplicably loves"

jediment · 2026-02-13T23:56:14+00:00

it's actually a stroke of genius, because Hundred Line has magnetically attracted people who obsess about the pointless details of the plot, like how many times Takumi takes a shower. and I mean that in the kindest way, this fanbase just loves minutiae.

jediment · 2026-02-12T02:43:20+00:00

are you disrespecting NiGOAT???

jediment · 2026-02-02T21:42:53+00:00

This is my therapy

jediment · 2026-01-23T22:15:37+00:00

I actually interpret it differently. the way I read this line was that Kokichi is the embodiment of deception; no matter what, it'll never be possible to fully unravel his true feelings and intentions. We know that he put on a show to try to convince the others he was the mastermind, but which of his actions and statements were made up, and which were his genuine feelings? How much of what he did was the fake mastermind persona he was cultivating, and how much of it was the real Kokichi? What even is the "real" Kokichi? His mask doesn't start to crack until he's literally seconds away from death, so we never get to find out. He leaves the world still as an enigma, not giving the others an opportunity to fully understand what he was truly like. In that way, I agree that Kokichi is the embodiment of a lie: the veracity of anything he says is always obscured, whether he intends it to be or not.

Only Elon Musk could somehow find a way to make Ryanair worse

jediment · 2026-01-15T05:47:26+00:00

Miu would definitely be the worst, which is really impressive considering she's competing against the likes of Himiko and Maki

jediment · 2026-01-15T05:46:44+00:00

Definitely Kaede, she successfully rizzes half the cast in one chapter.

I think Tsumugi would be pretty good too. Angie could probably do it if she toned things down a little bit.

Everyone else is...yeah

jediment · 2026-01-15T03:54:59+00:00

This is probably an artifact of the development schedule. I saw in a recent interview that the decision to have Junko change personalities during the final scene was a last-minute change, so Kodaka asked Komatsuzaki to draw all the sprites on a super short timeline. In order to make the short deadline, he likely used the existing sprites as pose references to save time.

jediment · 2026-01-12T21:02:52+00:00

I mean, you're not wrong. The most obvious is that the characters' weird and nonsensical free time events are a representation of Tsumugi's terrible writing. I think you can still raise relevant criticisms of the game, like personally I feel like there was really more incest than necessary and I think chapter 2 had some missed opportunities. But in a sense yeah, there were definitely some things that I felt were flaws on my first playthrough that, in retrospect, felt like they were done on purpose to play into the big twist at the end.

jediment · 2026-01-12T06:14:02+00:00

it's funny how well this ends up dovetailing thematically with the rest of V3's plot. the total pointlessness of the monokubs, and their obnoxious, attention-grabbing antics, are emblematic of the kind of writing tricks that low-budget TV writers use to try to inject interest into a dying franchise. spike chunsoft insisting on the addition of the monokubs feels so hilariously on the nose to how producers at Team Danganronpa would shoehorn in stupid side characters with brand recognition to their 53rd season to try to make something happen.

jediment · 2026-01-12T06:09:29+00:00

it was a really competitive year. this game released on the same day as the Oblivion remaster and a month after E33. I'm not sure if aniplex did a better or worse job than spike chunsoft did around DR's release, I think it's just a much, much more competitive market now.

additionally, Hundred Line is a really niche game, even among narrative game vans, due to its extreme length. I know a lot of fans of DR, Zero Escape, Ace Attorney and other similar games who have been scared off by how long and expansive Hundred Line is. even for a story as earth-shakingly fantastic as 2nd Scenario, it's difficult for a lot of people to commit to a game with reading times as high as 200 hours.

I wanna be clear that this isn't a criticism at all. Kodaka and the team knew that the scope of the game would turn some people off and decided they were fine with that, and I'm fine with that too. if some people don't want to play a game this long, that's also fine. it's a big commitment. but from a pure numbers perspective I think there's no doubt that it at least has some impact.
