Reporting your badge and the Esprit de Corps followup to that. Though the autopsy was also great, with Physical Instrument being a surprisingly helpful bro all throughout as you dig the bullet out of their brain.

Been a while so I might be misremembering, but the last time I talked to Cuno he was all (paraphrased) heard you got between some poo poo and got shot, squealing and crying like a little piggy. So I guess that's what's cool now. And he 100% meant that last bit sincerly, bless

Roctavian posted:So this is some socially-excluded quarantine brain speaking, but has anyone else noticed how Disco Elysium and Detective Pikachu have major similarities? Both feature an amnesiac supercop named Harry who is trying to discover secrets about himself to heal an emotional rift with a close loved one; a more sober-minded partner who is frequently exasperated by the antics of the primary investigator; AND OF COURSE cryptids. I'm trying to reconcile the governmental systems from both fictions but it seems like the ultraliberals and moralists rule the Pokemon universe. Anyway what kind of pokemon would the characters from DE have with them? Well, now I'm not going to be able to unsee that. At least Pokemon has free healthcare.

I just finished the game tonight. God, what an ending and leadup to it. I had made my cop a 4/3/2/3 cop for balance with thoughts that boosted learning caps, and I'm glad for it. The tribunal scene tensed me up so badly, even with maxed hand/eye and reaction speed, and the ending with the Deserter and the phasmid were both wonderful. I didn't even mind that it was a bit of a divergence from standard detective "guidelines" having the murderer be someone unconnected to the case. He was connected to the city's past, and history never forgets. One moment that made me really glad I had invested points in Shivers (because of said balanced cop) was during the church danceoff when Harry passes out and the city reveals she will die in 22 years due to an atomic bomb being dropped on it. gently caress the Moralintern and the ultraliberals. Kim's cool though, even if he is a self-described moralist.

JamMasterJim posted:Like waypoint? Calling Waypoint "moderate" would be kind of a stretch, but also they ended up really liking it. The main reason one of them was kind of down on it at first was that it seemed relentlessly cynical about every political philosophy without offering any kind of alternative answer (and seemingly ignoring options to facilitate this), but by the end of the game that person, while still somewhat holding that position, ended up really enjoying the game and finding counterpoints to their initial response. They did a whole spoilercast on it that I haven't listened to in full but what I heard was mostly gushing praise. Anyway, I'm not sure I've ever seen a better dialogue option than "It could have been multiple seagulls."

And then when threatening the Racist Lorry Driver to identify the drug smuggler Kim takes the lead on the creative police tactics, and Harry gets to play along. One of my favorite moments.

One thing I really liked about this game was the ways in which the world was different and yet there were enough context clues to get a basic underlying idea of what these differences ARE, e.g. Oranje being not-Nederlands, etc., while at the same time not being stupid? At the risk of sounding stupid (so I'll really try to write this out well), I found this most obvious in the racial slurs that were used in this game. In too many other fictional settings, the slurs are very... put-on; they don't sound realistic, but in this game, even though they aren't used in real life, you could easily imagine the sound, or understand the 'logic' behind them, like loincloth or coin-slot. Its that type of logical inference that's used throughout most of the game, and that makes it really... well-developed, I feel. Who knows, maybe I like it because I have facial hair that is regrettably similar to Harry's.

Not sure why people think Waypoint was super down on it, their spoilercast was almost nothing but praise, and Austin admits that his 'problem' with the game not offering a solution is flawed in the same way he himself saying there should be a solution is flawed. https://youtu.be/fuofI9FJ2Rw

(in fairness that was a very poorly/dated phrased way to say "don't use racial caricatures in your story" which is frequently republished without the context)quote:V. No Chinaman must figure in the story. Why this should be so I do not know, unless we can find a reason for it in our western habit of assuming that the Celestial is over - equipped in the matter of brains, and under - equipped in the matter of morals. I only offer it as a fact of observation that, if you are turning over the pages of a book and come across some mention of 'the slit - like eyes of Chin Loo', you had best put it down at once; it is bad.
