On the other hand, all it takes is a little nudge to turn Garte into a misogynist.

I think it's funny that Garte literally spends the entire game examining that bird. Even Cuno gets bored of chucking rocks eventually.

Are there any dialogue options for completely incomprehensible political alliances based on having what should be mutually exclusive political alignments?

Still utterly shocked at how revolutionary putting dialogue/text in a sidebar is and how it makes the subtitles approach look completely dated.

At a guess I'd say it's because 20+ years ago CRPGs were played on machines with such crappy resolution that they needed the full width of the screen to have reasonably legible text without taking an obscene amount of area away from the main game display or having 2 words per line. And then tradition is a hell of a thing to break.

Yeah his approach to make all the dialogue into bite size chunks works very well for the pacing. You never have to read through a huge wall of text - even stuff that's a longer speech is often broken up by interjections from other characters or your skills.

Your partner just threw you the keys to your patrol vehicle. It’s a cool moment, but Benny Shitfingers drops them in the sewage. Vehicle inoperable. Mob boss flips a coin in your direction: here’s a tip rent-a-cop. Blam, he pokes your eye out with it. It’s incredibly uncool to not catch things.

By some weird quirk I never had the physique to (major spoilers) finish the quest for the lady in the church, so I never found out in-game that Harry lost his memory because of the Pale (I had that spoiled for me later on). Did Harry do all his crazy poo poo, like wrecking his squad car, because he knew he was going to forget himself and didn't mind leaving the mess for the guy he'd become? Or did Harry do it just because he's a general fuckup and felt like it?

More specifically, I meant, did he go about all his new-in-town drunk bender bullshit because that was just his personality, and then accidentally lose his memory to the Pale? (Or, third option, did he wipe his memory intentionally to clear himself of his guilt?) But I like that reason is never specifically addressed, as it makes Old Harry as dynamic as New Harry. Old Harry's exactly the kind of guy who'd go on the best bender of his life if he knew he'd never have to face the consequences, but he's also the kind of guy who'd kill a lot of himself to escape his guilt. Or just trip drunk over his shoelaces and...im-pale himself.

In the final conversation with your team you can find out that this isn't the first blackout bender you've had but it is easily the worst and they speculate that the earlier ones were you doing test runs in preparation

Or did Harry do it just because he's a general fuckup and felt like it? I probably have the timeline totally wrong, but in my head it goes like this: Harry had been holding it together by an increasingly frayed thread ever since his lady left him ~5 years ago. At first, he could cope by throwing himself into his work (If she's going to leave me because I'm just a poor-rear end policeman in a broke-rear end city, then I'm going to loving be the best policeman, even if I am still poor as gently caressmaybe she'll take me back). Later, when this was no longer enough, he started adding in drugs and booze. Right before the game starts, Harry had been assigned a series of phenomenally stupid cases. For what was supposed to be a major crimes/serious investigative unit, THE COUCH IN AN UNEXPECTED LOCATION clearly got on his nerves and that one, mixed with his inability to solve THE SQUARE BULLET HOLE MURDERS, led him to snap during THE UNSOLVABLE CASE. Beating the poo poo out of a suspect with his ledger in a drug-fueled impotent rage against the world moment. The events of Disco Elysium come basically right after that, but he is so completely blackout drunk that the blackouts start to spill backwards in to his long term memories and start drowning those as well.

And then tradition is a hell of a thing to break. Another thing to consider is that back in those days widescreen monitors weren't really a thing, so a sidebar took up a lot of horizontal real estate on the screen. Now that widescreen monitors are the default, we have more horizontal space to spare than vertical space to spare so the sidebar looks a lot better.
