That's the ultimate irony of Ben Garrison: he has the artistic ability to communicate ideas through his art more effectively than the vast majority of political cartoonists, yet still feels the need to label absolutely everything.

If it helps, the devs wanted to expand the game in sequels where you could pick other roles such as a pregnant woman but DE having the main role be a washed up cop was pretty much a given.

Yeah. It's KINDA missing the point of the game. Maybe if all pulp detective tales had been about hard-drinkin' female pigs instead of male ones we'd have seen Disco Elysium be a female-protag game. But they weren't.

not sure why chapo thread but yeah rpgs shouldnt have a preset protagonist which is why disco elysium, like planescape, should be treated more like an adventure game and it rules at that

I'm just saying, he could do art and it'd be distinctive and actually somewhat viewable, unlike the other political cartoonists. The loving Dry Bones guy needs to be beaten to death with an easel.

https://twitter.com/GeorgeWHerbert/status/1186517535090335745 This is amazing. The WaPo hired an advisor to the NSO Group, the company which sold spyware to the Sauds. The ones who used that spyware to track and spy on Jamal Khashoggi shortly before they murdered and dismembered him at an embassy. A reporter who worked at WaPo. And PJ O'Rourke, which is almost as egregious an insult to everyone's intelligence.

The only O'Rourke sentiment I recall agreeing with was when he said that "overpopulation" means "There's just enough of me and way too many of you."

O'Rourke is pretty much whatever the male equivalent of "winemom" is. Edit: more in demeanor than political leanings. "Martini dad" I guess?

The one of devs of Disco Elysium on why the protagonist is male:quote:Kurvitz says that most games that offer a choice between male and female protagonists aren’t really doing so, and that it’s financially impossible to write a good male and female perspective with the production timelines involved. “They’re none of them, they’re soldiers, then, or saviours or something. They don’t have male or female characters in that way.” Disco Elysium’s protagonist is a man, “with all the baggage that entails”, and so they don’t want to just change the character portrait and call it a job well done. That being the case, they’re erring on the side of this female protagonist being an expansion.

It was when he fell in with the Cato Institute and tried to be a Serious Opinion-Haver that he fell off. I especially liked his "Modern Manners" and "Bachelor Home Companion" stuff -- he has written about how he found a Miss Manners book (I think it was her) as a youth, and it was a thing he loved to read over and over again. (Miss Manners was actually funny as hell -- I had previously assumed it was completely serious and horrible, but she's a hoot.) But I know it's not the thing most people enjoy these days.   And politically, I think he has a better-than-most-Republicans record of reasonable opinions because he's done so much traveling to the places he's reporting on. Actually seeing the horrible poo poo in person makes it a lot harder to have one of those "actually, the Grenfell fire was a good thing" opinions.
