I played Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony on Twitch!

Our little group in the elevator just keeps getting smaller... Ryoma is dead and the case was insane! I was investigating for the life of me, and while the investigation was happening, it was up to me to put all the pieces together... I got some new minigames out of it (The Psyche Taxi for one) but couldn't we just have a regular logic dive? Sometimes the fanservice in this game makes me uncomfortable to varying degrees, considering that these characters are supposed to be high schoolers.

Maki and Kaito were the whole reason everyone survived this chapter, I'm sure of it. Without Kaito, Shuichi wouldn't have had the courage to believe in his own detective skills, and without Maki, everyone would've focused on the location of the body rather than the location of the murder. Both of these things would've kept the blame on my lazy queen, Himiko, so that was no good.

Kokichi is a dastardly little rat, given the circumstances. He accused Himiko right off the bat, which was him leading us off course. I can't work out his intentions at all! The only think I know about him is that he'll never tell you the truth, but that's how you know what the truth even is. If something comes out of his mouth, you have to assume either the opposite or something very close to it. He needs to stay far away from Gonta.

Kirumi was our culprit this time around! She was in the suspect pool, but the biggest reason I suspected her was that she had access to the magic setup because she was the one doing the sewing of the curtains. And of course, she's going to know what's going on with the plan because she's in on it. It couldn't have been Himiko because she's too lazy, but it definitely could've been Angie until the pool was investigated.

When it comes to this list, my conviction is wavering slightly, but that's what updates are for! The one thing I can be certain of is that Kokichi is our Komaeda, and he will be our Chapter 5 event. That's just about the only thing I'm certain of, now. I was sure Korekiyo was going to have killed Ryoma, but now I'm more solid in my "he's the chapter 4 double killer" theory. Aside from that? Everything feels all mixed up! None of these guys really feel like killers aside from Shingui, so I'm losing conviction. Sussing out the mastermind is a little too much of a stretch, but I feel like keeping an eye on a couple characters. Kokichi, even though he feels like the red herring, Angie, who's incredibly calm throughout all of this, and her surprise always feels feigned. She's also incredibly charismatic. The final suspect is Tsumugi, just because of how much she calls herself "plain". It's weird how much she insists on her nondescriptness.

When it comes to the monokubs, anything could happen, but I'm certain something is going to go down between Monosuke and Monodam. One of them will be the killer, and the other will be the victim. For right now, who's who is basically a coin flip, so we'll only know next Saturday.

I played Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony on Twitch!

I think I've played enough by now to have solid opinions on most of the characters, but I can only make guesses at the end of the day.

Today, I focused on building friendships! Specifically with Gonta, Kaito, Himiko, and Tenko.

I think Gonta has to be saved from Kokichi or something really bad is going to happen. He's such a sweet boy who's only doing his best to be kind and good to everyone, but he's so trusting that it leads him to put his faith in the worst person he could ever think to be "friends" with.

His love for bugs is so endearing, and I hope to goodness that he remains safe. The way Kokichi leads him around worries me, because I think Kokichi is incredibly intelligent. He's this game's Komaeda, but without an attachment to hope. Kokichi is in it just for the sake of the game, but Gonta is so naive that he can't fathom that people like that exist!! Kokichi is 100% our Suicidal Maniac, and it would take some crazy convincing to change my mind. Kaito is a big sweetheart, and I really would like him to survive. He's the best friend anyone in this killing game could ask for, because he doesn't let his friends stay down. He really is the Luminary of the Stars!

Himiko is the quintessential Girlfailure, and she couldn't be even more adorable if she tried. I hope I get a lot of gifts for her from the Monomono Machine in the school store. The gifting system is kind of obvious, and I'm pretty glad about that, because it means i can give these guys the most successful gifts ever :3

Tenko... is simply Goldship from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. She needs to experience wider groups of people than just her teacher, because the relationship they have does not seem healthy at all...

This chapter's victim was Ryoma!! For a second, i was terrified that it may have been Kaito, but I was relieved to see that that was not the case. Sad that it's Ryoma, but thankfully it's not Kaito. The killer is between Kirumi and Korekiyo, tbh. Kirumi because she completes tasks to the fullest and Ryoma was always kind of passively... yk.., Korekiyo because he's a fucking weirdo who wanted to see how everyone reacts to another killing to study them for his weird anthropology fetish.

I have to investigate this case, and hopefully during this class trial, I'll have collected the hope fragments and points necessary to get skills to make arguing my points and finding the truth easier. I'm still shocked by the fact that the Monokubs kill each other per-execution, so I paid extra attention to their dynamics this chapter, and I'm sure that something is going to happen between Monodam and Monosuke. Hopefully Monodam comes out victorious!! We love you Monodam!!!

I played Stardew Valley on Twitch!

I started out on Winter 10, so I could immedieatly give Sebastian his obsidian. Happy birthday! It gave me the last two hearts I needed for Pierre to start stocking bouquets in his shop. I'm really conflicted on when to give it to him, though... it's a conundrum of my own making, just because I can't decide on a "best time". I think I should upgrade the farmhouse first... It really is a puzzle...

Other than that, I spent the time mining away. I need to collect so many resources and it takes so long. Maybe it's because I don't have the necessary tool upgrades, or I'm not optimizing properly. I'll go on lucky days with a rabbit's foot that one of those flying lizards dropped in the Skull Caverns. They also really like dropping spicy eel, which increases your luck. If I did that, then I think finding the ores I need would be a cinch. I really do need the ores, though... Spring is coming, and I want to at least have quality sprinklers. I've got the pathing all mapped out with wooden planks, all I need is the actual gadget. And for that? I need to be in the rubber room with rats that makes me crazy (The skull caverns). It's worth it, though. Imagine all the big produce the farm could grow! neat organized rows with signage. If there's storage in a video game, I'm indexing.

When spring rolls around, I plan on going to the cindersap forest to catch a ton of carp for fertilizer. With time frozen, I should have all the carp, seeds, and fertilizer I need on day 1 to ensure that the crop - heavy bundles get completed by the end of spring/summer.

I'll need them done because I really need that greenhouse. When it gets fixed, the first thing that needs to be grown in there is wheat since I need the hay for the animals. The amount of creatures on the farm is slowly growing, and I have to feed them all. The silo is still plenty stocked, but they eat every day, so they need food every day.

I'll need bigger storage facilities, since the amount of things is quickly growing. I've fished up so many different ... well, fish... that I've filled 2 chests almost entirely. The other slots are housing fishing-related items like bobbers, bait, and roe. I'll have to consider getting a third big shed to house chests. The hunt for wood starts early. I'll have to clear the quarry and cycle through planting and harvesting trees there, so we have the amount of wood we'll need to build all these structures. The planning is quickly outpacing capacity, so I'll have to pivot into upgrading my tools before much gathering can be done.

I'm sure I've done most I can when it comes to gaining exp, so I'll have to get the tools for the job. I've mostly been using the tools I've had since the beginning of the game, and it's the end of year 1. I've always been terrible about upgrading my tools on time.

But that's all for next week.

Next Time!

I'll be playing whatever wins the Discord poll. It looks to be a tie right now, but you can't call it too early, so I'll wait.

I played Buster Jam on Twitch!

I love minigames and warioware-style game in general! I hope I can get to 100. If only there was some sort of practice mode where someone could fix up their skills with the games they're worst at. My PB is around 90, so I'm pretty sure I can reach it. Maybe even 105! Or higher!

I also took a quick break to fight the Roaring Knight in the middle of it, which is a crazy thing to say. I used to struggle so much with that fight that it gave me anxiety, but now I love it to the point where I'm doing it for fun, like having a snack. It's becoming kind of... easy? I should probably make a new save file to grind out Jevil, since the Knight isn't incredibly challenging to that degree anymore.
