I'm not sure which Karaoke version I love more--the success or failure.

I can only assume I must record both and play them at the same time, in harmony.

It's probably impossible because of the pacing differences but it is definitely very kinda of good


edit - : slightly offset one I originally posted that is good but doesn't align correctly

The fail version is more special to Kim, and Kim is special to me. Ergo...

Tried to talk to some children, but they ignored me.

Fortunately, in a gutter there was a book called "A Primer for Small Kids".

Was disappointed to find out that it was not actually a primer for how to interact with small kids.

It's important to learn the alphabet at some point, though.

You can actually save even more than in the video by doing this if you choose the dialogue options that play up your "injury". You can eventually talk him down to just having to pay for the three nights you've already been there, so 60 real total.

I think you can go as low as 30.

Yeah, I got it down to 30 by passing an Authority check in the initial dialog with Garte (on a crit, natch). You basically say "I am the law, that was part of an investigation, there's no reason I should have to pay any more than the regular rate for my room and for the booze I drank".

I'm pretty sure that removes the option to ask Joyce or Kim for money, though.

You'll be fine. I have a 3570 and a GTX970. I play Ace Combat 7 with no issues, and Disco ran like butter. I suspect the minimum is just the lowest spec they did QA on.

Early in my first play-through, I entertained the thought that Kim actually showed up early to drug Harry out of his memories, because Kim secretly loves piss and pissing contests.

Then I accepted him as the bodhisattva of hapless police cops.

if kim had his own stat screen, then among other things it would display low conceptualization, negative shivers/inland empire, high empathy, and authority, composure, and esprit de corp scores that just read "Yes"

he's patient but he's also aware of his own weaknesses and how harry's bizarre bumbling often leads him to solutions that kim couldn't find with his own skill set

Impractical practicality
DE uses the European system of political identification so I was confused a bit at some of the labeling used.

In the US conservative is really closer to nationalism. Trumpism could be considered some form of deranged fascism but that will be on the way out next year and irrelevant so let's not get into that...

Liberals are democrats but democrats are not really liberals in the European sense. Democrats are more centrists.

Democrats in the US "liberals" I've read are the equivalent of the far right liberals in Europe. I really see US democrats as strong centrists with some exceptions like Bernie. Not sure how Europe labels US politics though.

So what is a real world example of an Ultra-Liberal? I could barely understand the ideology beyond it being super capitalist?

Likewise Moralism what is that the equivalent of it in the real world? There seems to be no equal to that apart from the conservative ideology in the US which basically wants everything to stay the same. I'm unsure on moralism.

Moralism is probably closest to establishment Democrats in American terms. Heavy on the :decorum:, ideology is bad because we just need to be nice to each other (taking my money is not nice, the money is mine).

I thought Kim had medium empathy, unless I missed some very deft human observations from Kim.

Let's not forget his low perception and inconsistent hand/eye coordination, that binoclard.

His conceptualization can't be that low if he's daydreaming of riding spinners in his souped-up cop car with SPEEDFREAKS FM blaring.

Kim has Shivers (and so does Klaasje, all three know something is changing in the city.) He just prefers to work off of evidence.

low conceptualization is something your own skills point out, and it makes sense given his total lack of interest in artistic diversions or more creative interpretations of the case

i figured high empathy because he's highly sensitive to both harry's shenanigans and how they affect the mood of the people they're interrogating

Had two beers and now I'm thinking about how good Disco Elysium is. I think this game is a miracle, and by that I mean its existence is a violation of several general laws of video games I used to believe in. I don't see how this loving game can exist.

Also I'm pretty sure Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions is an influence for Disco Elysium. The talk with our mutual tall friend in particular reminds me of Karabekian's "unwavering band of light," with bonus points for the fact that K's little speech is partly a defense of conceptual art, which is something else the game seems to respect. The narrator of Breakfast of Champions does a thing where he'll go into an aside about commonplace things and ideas and explain them as if you'd never heard of it so you can see how strange the stuff we take for granted can be.

I think the best summation of its effect is from the devs themselves, when they said they intended it to be unlike other games, where you go to the game for an experience that is limited to the game and you need to keep coming back to it to get that experience, and instead they wanted to create something more like art where you experience it and then it follows you through real life experiences and influences them and changes your pattern of thinking and habits.

it absolutely and definitely achieves this, and I've heard more than one story like how somebody was better equipped to deal with addiction because they thought about it like it was EC talking, the doloris dei sleep at the end regarding a messy breakup, or just......everything surrounding the phasmid encounter, and its message of hope and healing in the weirdest and most profound terms, and a hundred other things. For me one of the things that really hit me hard was the Working Class Woman bad news scene, because it was crushingly and heartbreakingly real to how these things go a lot of the time

I can't think of another game that has infected my real world thinking like this one has
