It speaks to the strength of the game that I've already beaten it four times and am really looking forward to playing it again.

Hey fellow Hobocops! I wrote an essay on the pale and Existentialism: https://haywiremag.com/features/the-miracle-animal-and-the-pale-inside-existential-thought-in-disco-elysium/

It's my first piece of games criticism! Haywire Magazine, a (free) online games criticism magazine, was unbelievably helpful and helped me re-write my monstrous, dense, and meandering first draft into something focused and readable. I argue the pale is a metaphor for existential nothingness unique to the human condition and walk through some of the broad strokes of Sartre's philosophy using characters and situations from DE. I'm happy to talk about it if the essay sparks anyone's interest.

From a while back, but drat this was excellent. I loved the conclusion. Thanks for sharing.

Itchy pants. These pants make you angry. Good LORD these pants are UNCOMFORTABLE. Punch someone in the face! They are striped and calf-length; too tight around thighs, too loose around waist -- the worst case scenario.

I hate my country enough that I regularly need to escape from the news cycle covering the hypocritical rape apologists (and rapists) that run it in order to save my sanity, usually escaping into video games. Then they had to go ahead and RC one of my favourites. I guess it's not surprising that the government banned a game that demonstrates such introspection about one's self, it's obvious no one running the country is capable of doing so.

That a game as nihilistic and explotative as Grand Theft Auto can be sold in stores while Disco Elysium gets banned is embarassing and indicative that the classification board is fairly obviously corrupt.

One voice actor I hope they keep is Klaasje's, I didn't even realize she was a Chapo-adjacent person, just thought she really nailed it.

Refused classification in Australia? gently caress. My understanding is that Steam workarounds to access banned games are a lot harder now than they were back when you could just use a VPN. Anyone have better info on how to get around these kind of bans other than pirating, which I'd prefer not to do but will do if there's no way for me to play the Final Cut?

Edit: I notice someone above saying if you already owned the game it should be fine as an update, but I'm not so sure.

That's how it works, if it's already in your account you can just download it normally. I have several games like that which can't be bought from my region (Germany) and they work just like any other. It's buying the game in the first place that would be a problem since Valve doesn't like people using a vpn for that, might even get your account banned.

dishwasherlove posted:

If you don't already own it just buy it now before it gets pulled in your region. If it gets pulled in your region you can always just buy a key off a 3rd party site and register it anyway (humble, gog whatever).

They don't sell keys on third party sites, you have to get it directly from Steam, GOG or EGS.

i think empathy telling you with a medium success that "It is obvious that he would prefer the body were not in the tree." is my favourite line in the game

I explicitly remember NOT being able to do the church stuff post tribunal and having to reload to an earlier save...

Or wait, maybe it was immediately prior to the tribunal, that would make more sense

The line that is made by the voice acting in the original game is : THE SPINAL CORD.

And now that I think about it, the voice for the phasmid will make or break the new version.

What happens if you hypothetically start a run now, and partway through the final cut update happens?

Not that I am going to test this, I waited this long and I won't spoil myself until it is time.

Not sure if they've said either way but they've said "hold onto your save games" in the past before they revealed the Final Cuts existence so saves presumably have to be compatible and not hosed.

Also it'd be weird to expect everyone to play the game again when they're adding these political quests that are culminations of that political ideology and most people would probably want to see those in their first playthrough state rather than play through the game again but keep the same ideology (like, if I play the full game again I'd probably be trying to see some of the other options).

Problem

Take a look at your hands. See how bruised they are? See those little scars? This is Exhibit A. The material world is holding you back. Containers, mailboxes, doors, chairs -- they are all your enemies. Always have been. Atoms themselves are in on the conspiracy, forming shapes and structures that you hate. You are energy stuck in a body. You are spirit trapped in matter. Break free! Beat up that lamp post! Let it know just how much objects *suck*.

Solution

Behold: the Anti-Object Task Force has assembled. God's avenging angel, arrayed against the lower emanations of the Darkened One: shoe racks, tape recorders, motor carriages. And doors. So many doors. You're not just pounding it all to pieces. You’re *reforging* the universe. From the anvil of the heavens to the worms below. Indulge in it. Be bold. Have an *impact* on the shape of Creation. Out of the furnace of your rage -- a new reality! Also, you should trash your room *again*.

I put off playing this until the final cut was announced and I can't wait to see depictictions or expressions of matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults :)
