Coach physical instrument is probably my favorite "voice" voice of the skills and gives great advice like smashing through doors shouting "gently caress the police!"

sebmojo posted:I think the Sensitive Cop preset is very good, it's a good mix of some physical competence and the weirder skills. I wouldn't try to game it too much. Yeah, I'd say if you are going to play the game only once then Sensitive Sad cop is the way to go. Its odd, because a combination of high inland, esprit and shivers feels like a throwback to a machiavellian vampire run where you have information that you shouldn't have but it works perfectly for this sort of detective game.

It's perfect for a game inspired in part by a tv show where a detective throws rocks at a bottle to determine which lead to follow.

dang man, i actually really liked how it handled staying "neutral" on the political stuff. on my first playthrough where I was a weird mixture of a communist and a moralist, i was repeatedly mocked for being both a communist and a moralist. on my current playthrough, i am the most ultra liberal and trust me i feel extremely demeaned for being an ultra liberal. i've chosen like 3 fascist lines ever and i felt like a dink all 3 times.

I think the only fascist dialogue option I ever took was being like 'drat, dude, that is a crazy story' when I heard Rene's war story. Guy's a reactionary prick, but he is one brave motherfucker.

Yeah, that guy on the steam forum is just a fascist though if you read the thread (his user name is offensively racist, for example, which might be why it's blacked out come to think of it). He's just mad because the game dunks on fascists.

Kobal2 posted:I did it by talking to Acele (who goes on and on about her music work and her contact mic. Get it ?). I don't remember which skill triggered the tangent (most likely Physical Instrument ?) but you can deliberately misinterpret what she's saying. lololol "urinalist board" I love how the difference between in-game racists and irl racists is that in-game racists at least acknowledge they're racists while irl ones foam at the mouth at the mere suggestion. Also love how the guy's convinced the game has a liberal preference.

I just finished the tribunal and I have to say "Kim *really* trusts you" is one of the best compliments a game has ever given me. I also looked up the encounter afterwards assuming I could've gotten a better outcome and apparently 3 hardie boys dead and all the mercenaries without Lt. Kim being shot is about as good as it gets. Also everyone complimenting my shot when he shot a dude through the goddamn eyeslit is crazy, probably just because mine was the first shot and then everyone had bigger things to worry about.

Somfin posted:Folks, I think that the game might not actually be neutral I will repeat whenever needed: it takes true-hearted communist leaning - actually lets go with straight up belief here - to do such a savage take on its failure like this game did. Outside literature, very few pieces of media in general have tried to artistically cope with the collapse of the Revolution, and Disco absolutely delivers on it. It is everywhere and nowhere: a major reason of the way things are as they are now in Revachol is because communism happened, but absent; your own (harry's) contemplation of the matter leads to a very precise comment that 0.000% of the communism has been built. Yet, love did him in, but communism pulled the trigger. Kurvitz and the other writers (I understand that one or two of them are Russian, even) seem to share a certain sensibility of the matter that intellectuals like Mark Fisher have described as "hauntological", the absence of something that is necessary to our present. A "nothing" that demands resolution in our collective understanding of the world. The original Communist Manifesto is all about that poo poo: "A spectre haunts Europe". What haunts Revachol and in many similar ways our own world, is the absence of the future promised. A new order of things happened, then it was crushed, at the cost of creating a hole in history. A flaw. To mull over this flaw, to ponder about what it really means, it is really complex poo poo. Zizek, among others, have said that the actual philosophical and psychological cost of the failure of the Soviet Union has not been fully assessed and understood because of the sheer, titanic tragedy of it all: for a few years, the dream society that a lot of people envisioned and envision now was a concrete, real, actual in-the-fullest-sense-of-the word thing. If one subscribes to the hauntological point-of-view, this was such a massively momentous occasion that essentially reshaped the course of history forever. From this moment onward, the new society, the revolutionary society, had to be. The failings of its government, the fact that it not lead the West to go along with it, the absence of its promise and its final downfall created much of the cultural malaises we suffer now, for if we were haunted before to bring it to existence, now we are haunted for its absence: things are not in the order that they are supposed to. Disco tackles some of that poo poo exemplarly, mostly by giving you that feel, that yearning conveyed by the soundtrack and in some particular dialogues and scenes. Communism has failed, surely. For that, this is a weary world. However, playing it again, after you got to know the scars and has the hang of the place, a simple "Revachol forever" gains a powerful, foreboding feel. This is an invocation. The city has been conquered, but what it represents has not; its people have been put to suffer tremendous indignity, but they are the same that not too long ago, have put the most profound fear in the powerful forces of the world. Revachol forever means that they will become what they must be, again, for history demands it.
