You know how sometimes you'll be reading a book and the author will describe the appearance of a character and you just decide, "No, he doesn't look like that." That's how I feel about Kim's voice. He doesn't sound like that and you can't make me think he does. :colbert:

i thought basically all the voice acting was fine and it was really good that the game had it

If you don't let Kim in you insta die and the game over screen makes fun of you for not bringing Kim in

Balcony smoker man is the best VA in the game because that’s just what Virgil sounds like

I don't recall which episode it is, but is the one that they talk about Disco after wiping the floor with awards and going from the way Virgil and Menaker talk about it, they were kinda coy about the work they put in afterwards. They joked about phoning it purposefully while Matt and Felix actually put some effort (of the chapo characters Titus is the best voiced imo)

(Dasha doesn't count because she is a trained actress lol)

at least for DE, hearing what each person sounded like made me connect with them a lot more. not everything needs to be acted but just bits and pieces, maybe across different emotions, is perfect

I kept going back to try and fix the sink/get into the back/talk to people and let me tell you, having that trumpet sound every time you walked into the square had me a bit :shepface: by the time I finished the game

Case in point:

it's because it's a powerful scene op

also in all seriousness part of why that scene pays off so hard is the foreshadowing. kim's status as a dang ol' binoclard with bad vision comes up multiple times - peering into abandoned buildings on the coast, or mentioning that he passes his shooting exams 7 out of 10 after failing to shoot down the corpse. suddenly over the course of a few very tense minutes (and god it's amazing that they build the tension in a situation with absolutely no real-life time pressure) you're thinking about little throwaway lines like that. whole game's full of poo poo like that and it owns


hell fuckin yeah dude. someone who knows more about music than me (ie. pretty much anything) could probably comment on its use of, uh, motifs and stuff from other parts of the soundtrack like the tribunal theme

Just found out that Disco Elysium was mostly funded by Margus Linnamäe, an insanely wealthy Estonian venture capitalist and business magnate. Flipped privatized Soviet-era companies for a big profit, invests in just about every thing these days and parks his money in offshore companies. And now he owns the country's largest newspaper with which he sways national politics towards nationalist and conservative views.

I guess no game gets made as independently as Stardew Valley these days, but there's certainly some irony that such a game gets funded by... such a person.

Some skills, like Rhetoric and electrochemistry, are probably mechanically detrimental more often than not.

They are still very desirable and awesome though. And most of their drawbacks can be ignored by just not listening to them (but you should listen to them anyway sometimes)

From what I could tell, the main downside of super high Encyclopedia is it prints out wikipedia-length articles about EVERY. LITTLE. THING.

A funny thing is that there is an actual downside - the more text you get, the longer conversations take (because every line has a time value associated). So by being a massive nerd you waste more of your day just thinking about trivia than actually accomplishing anything.
