Speaking of music - I've been meaning to give British Sea Power a listen after playing this an absurd amount but I'm not sure where to start. Anyone know them well and have a good album or two to jump into? I listened to a few random tracks I liked and of course "The Smallest Church in Sussex" but nothing grabbed me enough to stick it out long enough to get to know a whole album.

weirdly i like the DE music but have no truck at all with BSP

I can't remember where but I recently got some dialog where someone called me a whore -- I think metaphorically, for doing other people's dirty work? Anyway one of the responses was something like "Sorry but I can't be a whore, I think I'm already hooking for Cuno."

It appears to be a point and click adventure

In a sense, Disco Elysium is an innovation on that genre

Exploration is ill-advised.
Had a sudden thought that the Rejected Parents thread reminded me of Idiot Doom Spiral; the very specific style of narcissistic storytelling where they clearly think they're telling a clear and coherent narrative about how things went wrong through no fault of their own but they're obviously leaving out so many pertinent details that it's obviously incoherent and filled with gaps where the teller isn't and possibly cannot acknowledge cause and effect.

Saved my game. Reloaded it to find myself walking around while the evaluation form (the way you set your skills as the game starts) is still there, obscuring all other choices. Oh, and the game still remembered my previous skill choice, so I couldn't even complete the form, being stuck in a loop.

I mean, it's a free prototype demo. Report the bug to the dev, I guess?

It's annoying but you can get around the bug by quitting to main menu before you reload.

Wow! Rude. In my first run I never found my paperwork, so I borrowed Kim's. Then I had to borrow his pen to fill it out. I borrowed his tools, of course. I also borrowed his gun. I borrowed the money for the hotel after selling his hubcaps. Out of everything that I borrowed, he most resented the pen. He's one of those guys.

Most of that stuff is either department-issued or mission-critical for the circumstances, and in any case not easily procured without a detour, and Kim will bear with it for the sake of the investigation. The pen is a private expense that can be easily replicated in function by cheaper substitutes. Kim's annoyed that you insisted on one of his good pens instead of just finding a pencil or cheapo ball-point or something.

I remember being able to use my own sad and appropriate stub of a pencil that was with my clipboard.
If you still ask for his good pen, he is of course annoyed.
