If you read my 5 Brilliant Gaming Stories blog, you’d know that the Danganronpa trilogy, in my humble opinion, have some of the best plot twists in gaming! It’s like if Death Note and Squid Game had a coke-infused orgy with an season of Murder She Wrote and is all the better for it. Needless to say, I’m pretty enthused that the folks at Nintendo recently added the games to a three-in-one game for Switch. And if you wanna get your mits on the Danganronpa PS4 Trilogy, have a butcher’s right here!

The folks at Spike Chunsoft recently tweeted an article detailing various new patch notes. The updates are as follows:

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition Patch 1.0.1

• Improved stability to prevent freezes in School Mode.
• Added auto saves that trigger after each in-game day in School Mode.
• Fixed an issue preventing text from appearing after “%” symbols.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition Patch 1.0.1

• Added auto saves that trigger after each in-game day in Island Mode.
• Fixed an issue preventing text from appearing after “%” symbols.

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp 1.0.3

• Added an in-game purchase log for consumable service items.
• Improved stability to prevent freezes.
• Fixed some graphic display issues.
• Fixed some text issues.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.

My Danganronpa Hottakes (SPOILERS).

Chihiro and The Transphobia Question: Cutting a long story short, one of the first game’s twists relies on everyone thinking Chihiro is a girl, but turns out he was actually a bloke. Consensus within much of the fandom is essentially “good game, shocking twist, but feeds into TERF-y stereotypes”. By no means THE most popular transphobic argument out there, but I’ll admit, having a twist hinge on “this all could’ve been avoided if you just identified as a feminine man” is pretty darn problematic, to put it mildly. That said, I do think it is possible to charitably read an alternative pro-trans interpretation of Chihiro’s character assassination (get it? Because he was LITERALLY assassinated): Essentially, I believe the anti-trans subtext coexists with the fact that Chihiro is one of the most sympathetic characters in the game, and for a murder that took place in the bathroom, no one ever pays lip service to the stereotype of trans women pretending to be women for kicks. And due to literally living in terf island, I’ll top off this bit by saying “hey, if you don’t have the patience to read Judith Butler, check out Lonerbox, Philosophy Tube, Shaun and Jammidodger’s videos on trans topics” if your booty is still firmly planted on farmer McDonald’s fence!

Kaede is best girl, don’t @ me: She plays piano, I play piano, caring and optimistic to a tragic degree, but also not afraid to cut a bih when she thought it would save her friends… Yeah, my kinky switch-ass likes one of the most vanilla characters in-game, sue me!

My Danganronpa Machete Order: Now, once upon a time, I was a strong independent broke b!tch who didn’t need no money. As a result, my first introduction to the danganronpa games was through a letsplay of the second game by Razzbowski, the fresh prince of FNAF. It did spoiler a couple of major twists from the first game, but as far as introductions go, it was a strong one!

Azula always lies… But does Monokuma? To which I say… Well, yes, but actually no? An interesting thing about the series in my opinion is that Monokuma (or whoever’s controlling him at whatever time) really only tells ONE major lie per game, which usually ends up leading to an insane epic climax that leads to the ending. Alot of the murders have a sense of “hell is other people” at times. Ain’t that right Jake Peralta?

Oh, New World, New World, New World. My dearest roast-pet. You sweet little mechanic-banning ragamuffin. You character creation-stopping little cutie pie! We KNEAD! Nay, KNEED! Nay, NEED… To talk about branding.

Amazon recently released a statement confirming plans to crack down on the problem of bots in New World. As a result, thousands of in-game bot accounts have been banned… I’m sorry, the fact I’m more surprised that the New World team HAVEN’T purposely wiped swathes of it’s player base from itself is probably more telling about the game’s reception than you think!

So, you win this time Amazon! You’ve been spared this time around from the ritualistic roasting I partake in whenever some new glitch or bug pops up in New World. Parting from that pastime for the remainder of this blog is such sweet sorrow, but I shall… If I can help it.

Goodbye Roast-Master Steff, hello Stefanham Subtle-Tea.

An Apt Summary Of The Nature of Bots: A great many video games use bots to varying degrees. For example: Sometimes, when Fortnite matches are a few players short of the usual Full Monty (100 player combatants), the game will slap-dash a handful of bots to make the difference. Many bots in contemporary digital media are made or inserted by players for a variety of reasons, ranging from hacking and scams, to advertising and grinding (not in the fun way). While banning bot accounts is useful, this is only a temporary solution to a self-perpetuating problem that requires ways of systematically making it harder for bot accounts to be made.

On The Bot Problem: It appears the bots of New World aren’t just any run-of-the-mill vagabonds, but in fact, mostly high-level warriors that have been spawning at quite an alarming rate. These heathens have even been harvesting important materials set aside for players!

If I may be so bold, this is a most-unfair experience to have to go through indeed. I mean, going about your day in The New World without a care in it, only to find out your lands have been virtually COLONISED by the robot uprising Stephen Hawking tried to tell us about!

Statements From The Amazon On The Bot Problem:

“We’re aware of player reports about increased bot activity in New World. Bots pose a persistent challenge for MMOs, and our team has deployed dedicated resources and tooling to identify and combat them”

“We banned over 7,700 accounts for using bots. Our goal is to ensure New World is fun and fair for all players. We’ll post updates to the New World forums and Twitter as we have them”.

Good, Bad and Ugly News: While Amazon is taking steps to fix this problem, a great many others still exist in New World, including the item-duplication bug that’s lead to in-game trading posts getting #Cancelled.

On the bright side, New World has seen incredibly generous reductions to the game’s housing tax system, but that does ring a little hollow considering the company owner practically owns the free market in real life!

Recent leaks claim Overwatch 2 will see major changes to the healer Mercy. I’m a massive Overwatch noob, so in lieu of any genuine emotional attachment, I’ll simply admit that the Mercy meme template do make me feel a certain kinda way, to put it mildly… For more on the current Overwatch 2 gameplay info, click here.

The folks at Blizzard have reportedly delayed the Overwatch 2 release date multiple times, most likely as a result of violently unsuccessful attempts to fire a Bobbert Kotique, whom, legend has it, straight up threatened to kill a co-worker, but he was quick to apologise upon the recent discovery that such behaviour is likely to get you fired, so aLL iS FoRgIvEn!

And 5 v 5 gameplay? What is this, basketball? Because if you want Overwatch Basketball so bad, just get NBA 2K21! I’m sure there are some very talented folks in the modding community who’d be willing to bring ‘buttgate’ to the NBA world!

On the bright side, the game has been approximated by the company for a likely 2023 release date, so you know what they say about slow and steady winning the race against the existential dread of a multi-million dollar company being rich enough to make that joke from Incredibles 2 an uncomfortable reality!

Leaker and VTuber Extraordinaire EeveeA has cited 3 sources regarding the moveset of Mercy for Overwatch 2, including a concept she suggested a year ago for the character. The major change? Mercy’s resurrection ability will be replaced with an ability currently known as ‘Angelic Blessing’.

OVERWATCH 2 RUMOR / LEAK

A year ago I made suggestions for Mercy-
One of them made its way into OW2

Res removed
Replaced by "Angelic Blessing"

Cooldown 20s
Send a soul to a teammate, they can then use one flight to a teammate using Interact key, if not used goes away after 6s

In my original description, it would look like mercy's wings wrapped around them when it's ready to use, then mercy's wings in use.

Honestly in an old unlocked memory, inspired visually by the teleport animation from MM – Wings vs wrapped in wingshttps://t.co/NFaXfbq44m

Who Overwatches The Overwatcher:

Fans of the game, recognizing that making a new game would be more difficult and timely than adding extra content to the first Overwatch, have requested that Sojourn, a confirmed Overwatch 2 character, be added to the base game after, ala Doomfist. While it’s not really my place to say whether or not this is the best way to inject your daily levels of Overwatch 2 related copium, I think Michael from The Good Place really sums up the situation well:

Side tangent: Do y’all remember buttgate!? Probably not because you’re reading a semi-obscure Croydon-based gaming company’s comedy news pieces by a guy who brags to his friends about that one funny pirate joke he made. Can’t really blame you though, my furthest knowledge of it is limited to how folks online would crack jokes and memes about Tracer’s posterior.

On Autism and Overwatch Character Tidbits:  Overwatch confirmed a while ago that one of its main playable characters Symmetra has autism, which is a really sweet bit of inclusiveness. The fact she’s a woman is also a bonus considering a common joke amongst others on the spectrum is that getting officially diagnosed is often a cartoonishly more lengthy process than for guys. A friend of mine has also started a Facebook (sorry, Meta, even companies don’t deserve dead-naming) group called ‘I don’t need alcohol, I have autism‘ (though personally, I wouldn’t say no to both) as well as her own blog series: Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious.

If you’ll pardon a little ending joke back onto my Roast Mode though: Blizzard. Honey. Baby. Mommy-dearest pumpkin-spiced apple sauce. It’s nice that Tracer is canonically lesbian and has a partner, but shout that from the rooftops! Plaster a massive pride flag with her face shmooshed onto it over the company window curtains! Make one of those Detective Pikachu dance loop videos, but it’s Tracer wearing a Jane Fonda get-up dancing to Maniac by Flashdance! Why am I being so adamant about this? Because when the inevitable accelerationist capitalism-imploding apocalypse drops, any surviving historians will play the “just good friends” card, so let’s try and be a little more obvious this time around!
