Under the cut is an answer to a recent anon ask that contains #SDR2 spoilers up to CH5.  (The link in the answer itself contains spoilers up to early CH6, though!) So, fair warning.

Below the cut are four anon questions that I figured would be better answered all at once rather than one at a time! If you sent me an anon question recently (...fairly recently, at least), it should be in there.

There are some vague, general spoilers for SDR2 from the third answer down, but I'm not sure if it's anything that one wouldn't guess on their own just from being in the fandom... It's one of those "how relevant is this character to the story in the long run?" types of spoilers. There's your fair warning, at least!

So...I've let a lot of anonymous asks accumulate in my inbox. (My bad! Really, I'm sorry about that.) Answering them all at once would be a lot of posts to make, so I've put replies/answers to all of them under the cut. If you've been wondering what I think about what would happen if the Dangan Ronpa kids stopped being able to do their talent, why Yamada isn't popular in the fandom, whether or not I've taken a psychology class before (?), and what character essays I currently have in my endless to-do list, feel free to check!

(If I haven't answered your ask here, then it probably got eaten. Sorry about that! Feel free to resend it.)

Happy New Year! Have some SDR2 voice clips, organized by character.

(Note: this entire post concerns #SDR2 spoilers up until and including endgame. Also, any one of the voice clip files in this post may and will continue major spoilers!)

The original post from which I obtained these voice clips is over here, but...I sorted them into folders by character, because I wanted them sorted. (And maybe you'll want them sorted, too?) Each download link here is a .zip folder, so you'll need a program with which to unzip it, but the files inside are all .mp3 files and should be easily playable with most music players! You can stick 'em on your iPod if you really want to, but there are over 8000 of these files total, so be careful with that.

The folder with Hinata's voice clips is the largest, which seems pretty appropriate. Celebrate his birthday by downloading a bunch of clips of him yelling.

(If you see this post and it is no longer January 1st, then, well, celebrate Hinata's birthday anyway.)

Download links for the rest of the characters, as well as notes concerning which voice clips are found where (which will be updated as I find more voice clips worthy of pointing out!), are below the cut!

In case you ever need to find any type of DR sprite edit, ever:

Check this out: a new, fully micro-organized database/search engine/blog for Dangan Ronpa sprite edits!

Each post on that blog is tagged to make it searchable by character, by edit type, and by a number of different character+edit type configurations. For example, you can choose to search for every Komaeda sprite edit, or every talentswap sprite edit, or every talentswap Komaeda sprite edit, or every talentswap gamer sprite edit, or every SHSL Gamer Komaeda sprite edit, or...

There are a lot of tags, basically, but there are also two expandible-and-collapsible navigation trees to help you find the one you're looking for as quickly as possible! Try it out.

Also: it's fully possible to search through this blog without running into any SDR2 or DR0 spoilers, as they're all sectioned off into their own subcategory tag. If you are looking for spoilers, you can search them either as a whole or by character. (That said, there will definitely be some #dr1 spoilers, both in the tags and within the navigation trees themselves. Couldn't do much about those.)

I'll be reblogging new sprite edits onto there as they come along, of course, and might recruit some mods later if I can find anyone who's interested. I hope this comes in handy!

DANGAN RONPA RIPS FOR BASICALLY EVERYTHING

I downloaded the giant folder of Dangan Ronpa rips earlier - a collection of virtually every image there is to rip from the entirety of the video game - and I truly felt like I gazed into the void. I organized it for my sanity, and now here it is, organized for your sanity too. There are 7,269 pictures in here, and a lot of them are kind of useless, so I've split it into a bunch of subfolders.

[Download whichever you're interested in.]

For your troubles, here's the greatest piece of concept art in that file:

I felt this, as much as the rips folders, needed to be shared.

By the way, speaking of Dangan Dinners.

I don't play dinner games very often nowadays, but I do spectate, and here's what I see happen, say...two out of every three games. Someone steps up to play detective and solve the mystery of the deaths, and starts asking some reasonable questions about the state of the crime scene - like "hey, are there any dents on this mini-statue of The Thinker?" or something - and then they just sit there, because the answer to that question wasn't put in the Pastebin, so they have no way of knowing. It'd be impossible for Interros to see every question coming, but it still breaks the flow of the game a little.

Here's what I suggest for Interros that want to avoid this: on D1, choose someone to play your "detective"(/medical practitioner/protag), and jail them over the course of that first night. (It'd be preferable not to take celeb, in order to not roleblock the masons, but anyone else is fair game.) Don't kill them, but give them a link to a Chatzy, and then instruct them to keep that Chatzy open; then, if anyone asks those kinds of unexpected questions during the game, your detective can go check their Chatzy tab, you can answer the question there, and your detective can relay the information as if they found it out themselves. Creating a temporary Chatzy takes less than seconds, you don't have to reveal your identity (or even your blog!) to your detective, and you don't have to worry about anything leaking. In fact, even if your detective has to leave or be killed, you can have them link the chat to someone else, or even everyone else - it won't reveal your identity, so what's the harm, right?

Just a suggestion to keep in mind, in case you roll Interro.

Being Interro: some resources (primarily) for Dangan Dinner players

A long, long time ago, I said I was going to make a big guide to being Interro in Dangan Dinners. Then it turned out that I don't play dinner games that much any more, and teaching people how to do things is hard. Have this instead: a masterpost of resources for the average Dinner player, and possibly anyone else who plays RP games where "mastermind"-y characters or death scenes exist.
