SaintWest Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I think what needs to be remembered is that there are like 8 people playing for a reason..........so. I would be very careful about how they’re being treated.

I don't care about criticisms, so long as they make sense. Contradicting yourself goes completely against that. You can't praise me one week for being poetic, and criticise me the next week for being poetic. It simply doesn't make sense and there's honestly no way to convince me it does, because to me in writing you are free to do what you want to do, that is what creativity and art is after all. You can choose to be poetic if you want, you can choose to be direct if you want, whatever your stylistic choices it should make no difference because they are your OWN to make. You shouldn't be told to change, because there is no such thing as what is "appropriate" and to have someone say that and police creativity like that is seriously discouraging.

Would it be better if it was phrased like "Your poetic style didn't work as smoothly in constructing a rap as it has in your other entries and I think this because _____" ?

No because that's a completely different thing to what he said in the first place, which is that my style was not appropriate. And it remains you simply can't tell somebody that. Saying it "didn't work smoothly" is not the same as inappropriate.

I know the culprit/victims of case 5/6 but not so much the content of chapter 5 and only a vague amount of chapter 6 but yeah. Miu and Tenko are the best characters btw. nn I don't understand. You're watching a playthrough? I read spoilers earlier this year but I want to actually play it. I feel like my wig will be snatched if I did
Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 no, i 100% stand by my view that pear's entry is not a rap song due to its style, and that's exactly what i meant

I usually do other stuff to get them if they're on PC but this is vita so I have to use youtube. You won't regret it when you start. I definitely think that at least the class trials in this game are the best in any game. Case 1 ESPECIALLY blows the other 2 case 1s out of the water. A few of the characters do feel a bit one note to me, but that's okay because I still have a fair amount that I stan for. It's honestly a lot darker than the other 2 games (somehow) but overall I think it's definitely worth it. oop I understand. it's on steam so it's only a matter of time before... but I can't let myself buy another game I have too many to finish ugh. Mess at it being darker. Danganronpa 1 was literally hell for me. I cried so much. I do remember the twist of case 1. the "suprise b*tch" moment. screaming

It's amazing even when you KNOW the spoilers gbjdsbg And yeah DR1 was so emotional Asahina is still one of my favorite DR characters and potentially my favorite. I'm so glad she survived that + the DR3 anime. Asahina made it so much more emotional and impactful ESPECIALLY in case 4/slapping and dragging Togami I love Kirigiri so much too. I personally found DRV3 much sadder though so gl to you my finger is on the purchase button rn. no regrets Asahina/ Kirigiri are everything. DR 3 left me so shook omg.

But It's all about thickness but just in the right places We call the thick girls fat and unhealthy bitches And celebrate unnatural waists and call that realness? Oh but you know we're all woke now too No racism on your timeline while you ignore real calamity Play cards against humanity and laugh at police brutality But it's cool cuz you're woke so you ain't part of the insanity And yeah we care about mental health now too Stop the bullying we tweet while you call that girl a cow And then you hear she killed herself and you’re like oh wow how Forgot the power of words and how they might have hurt her? I get it I get it I sound like a hater But I'm sick and tired of seeing the ignored murders of my trans sisters in the hand of the oppressor I get it I get it I sound like a hater But I’m sick and tired of seeing people in poverty People who work and grind then get called entitled n’ lazy [Chorus] Folks acting like asparagus water Trying to bottle up nothing for a pretty dollar But they don’t know that we know That it’s all for show You can try to deny but we all know the flow It’s just water So don’t bother It ain't nothing new [Bridge] I get it I get it I sound like I’m hating But we need to lay off the scheming Packaging nothing and selling it as everything No more pre-peeled oranges in plastic And no more damn asparagus water Drain the water and eat your asparagus Cus that’s where all the bitter truth about us lies [Chorus] Folks acting like asparagus water Trying to bottle up nothing for a pretty dollar But they don’t know that we know That it’s all for show You can try to deny but we all know the flow It’s just water So don’t bother It ain't nothing new This is fantastic. Really, really good. I'm so glad a few of y'all did serious social-commentary songs, I love stuff like this.

Please don't think I'm shading you because I genuinely agree with a lot of the points you've made but this analogy kinda made me kii. If an art teacher assigned you to draw a rainbow and removed half your colours (but still left you with the basics; red, blue, yellow) you could still draw a rainbow. Red + Yellow = Orange, Yellow + Blue = Green, Blue + Red = Purple. So if anything this analogy kinda argues for the creative restrictions being tested in a way I don't think you intended it to. 3 hours ago, ultraviolence.xx said: ok wow the people have had iT i actually don't think any of these limitations are stifling creativity; i think they're encouraging it. instead of going for the first option our brains will throw at us—that may include a polysyllabic word or the letter D—it's forcing us to think through alternates. it's pushing us into new territory that our basic brains wouldn't have taken us to in the first place. some of them may be annoyingly constrictive but so is life I think it's a mixture of both. I think there are some which are okay but there are some which are definitely useless in the greater scheme of "testing songwriting ability" and there'll never be a point outside of the challenge where us contestants will think, "You know what, what if I applied that technique from that challenge to this song too? That'll really show my growth." Maybe I've watched too many cooking shows, but it's all about... learning difficult techniques from professionals and finding ways to apply them to their own creation. You can write a song without a chorus in a challenge that doesn't mention whether you can or cannot have a chorus and it'll still work. But ain't nobody going to consciously omit a letter from their song, and ain't no judge going to be impressed by that decision. I'm not trying to rekindle any arguments, I just think that while this challenge is far from a complete failure - testing limits can be a good thing - I think the 5 options could have been more even in terms of difficulty and long-term benefits to our songwriting. Just my humble O.

All of my faves and no one you missed. Tho in DR2 I also stan for Sonia/Peko. Chiaki is the best though I also stan for Monaca even though she's ****ED up because she's funny (particularly in DR3 I guess), Juzo (the poor gays being done wrong), and tbh idk if I ''stan'' Chisa but she's a very interesting character I still haven't played DR2 or watched a playthrough ugh but just the basic story from like a 40 minutes summary video. Peko's execution was so touching Monaca is such a freak and after DR3, her death in DR1 is kinda funny. Juzo was cute but he annoyed me till he finally exposed his gay ass. loved his last moments. Chisa is dumb!!!!
