The only way I finish that quest now is scaring the gently caress out of of the racist lorry driver. It's just a feel good moment.

It's the left-most archetype presented to you (in more than one way!) so naturally, lots of people are going to pick it first.

(I assume it's specifically the option on top to condition you into not always picking the option on top, the damage it deals isn't even permanent unless you kill yourself)

I have only nice things to say about it, it's as well made as you'd hope and feels very sturdy to wear. As far as dumb video game impulse purchases go it's in the top tier. Ultimately I think of it as a jacket that challenges me to be cooler than I am

Kim knows. Unlike you, he isn't pulling himself back together after a binge so bad it gave him amnesia - he's still at the top of his game.

On the other hand, Kim's exasperation at your weirdness and having to apologize to everyone for your antics is very funny and everyone should experience it at least once I also really enjoyed the taking Kuno to the island ending

sit around, kids so I started playing the final cut right before my life went to hell (during a plague and under the Bolsonaro govt nonetheless) because of a familial disaster that left me without a roof over my head, no job and very little money. thanks to the solidarity of friends and colleagues, I managed through. By mid-May it was all solved - as if by miracle given how fast things happened, really - with shelter and work with decent pay to attend my immediate necessities (and even some little comforts). so last month I decided to finish it because of the new content and, being commie, I wanted to see what ZA/UM had to say about it. The funny was spot on, had my lols, but the conclusion was one of the most important things to be ever said in a videogame. Perhaps the most important? Maybe, because sure as hell I am biased. I wrote thousands of words already about Disco Elysium, about how it is one of the most fundamental pieces of art in our time, the first game to actually come through in terms of being literature at its most meaningful. the communist quest is a masterstroke because its reward is entirely designed for the player to enjoy and benefit, not the character. It spoke rather deeply to me personally, given the recent circumstances. The most important thing about it is that not only it explains the why of revolutionary socialism, that "why" carries another quintessential factor that many leftists of our days seem to forget rather often: hope. "How the hell", one can ask shouting from rooftops, "you can fight for the better day without hope?" To call oneself truly a communist is to have hope in the face of the Sisyphean struggle that each and every one of us that work for a living, to provide to oneself and dearest others, face every single day. To have hope that one day, things will be better not only for someone or a group of such, but for all of us. That one day, there will be much less unnecessary suffering. I was down to my last few bucks getting a coffee and something to eat while waiting a reply from a friend to stay there a few days, and because of their work, it took a few good hours to reply. I was out in the street and it began to rain in this very gray sky of the Southern Atlantic, my luggage and all the poo poo I could carry in a pinch with me, and I felt the whisper of despondence, the one borne of being pushed into abjectness, that the shadow of abasement was grasping at my heels; some tears came down, but I didn't feel like crying, which was somewhat odd for me. I asked myself if these were the worst circumstances I have ever been, and well, yes. Then I remembered I wasn't in my worst mental state. Thought that was rather funny, actually. Although poo poo was harrowing, I was looking out for solutions, getting in touch with people, waiting for job replies, asking and receiving help from friends. Then I also remembered that I had been in remission against chronic depression quite successfully since dec/19. That time was hosed up, even though I was far more comfortable. Then it dawned on me: what made that absolutely awful was that I simply couldn't find hope. I was terrified because my vision was dim - I couldn't see a future. Even though the weather was starting to look awful and I didn't know where I would sleep that night, I took a couple of deep breaths and managed to steel myself because of that one thing: hope. poo poo was awful. poo poo could be much, much worse. Yet, hell, I am a communist: I believe in a much, much, much more difficult, complicated and grander advent, what is a personal little miracle in comparison? Just to turn things around? I never quite figured out how to articulate the emotional appeal of "why I am a communist" to someone else like ZA/UM did here. Of course, I teared up lots when, after all the bookchat and artillery barrages of jargon were done, the game goes for the most fundamental question, the why. Not finished yet, seeing the heartbroken wreck of a human being, a complete beast in terms of loving it up, seeing that guy going out to say, "hey, let's do it one more time, all together"? gently caress me, I was completely owned then and there. Not only it is beautiful, it is necessary, it is elevating - the best possible effect of an artistic experience imho.

this is a tremendously good post, thank you  disco elysium is a beautiful, sincere and (most importantly!) hopeful piece of art, and it's honestly super cool that it affects people so much (it's like the only game that legit made me cry goddamn you, giant stick insect  ) the part of the Good Post about being in Real Bad Circumstances and how it affects one's thinking is kind of especially relatable (nb: i don't think i've ever had it as bad as you, but it got close to that a couple of times  )it's like, once you go beyond a threshold, your brain switches into overdrive and turns into a problem-solving machine and everything becomes clear all of a sudden - kind of like breaking through the water's surface or something. you start taking things one at a time, not really thinking ahead. and then comes hope - almost subconsciously, you don't even process it as hope really, but it's there and your brain runs on it, driving you towards getting through *it*, whatever *it* may be i think this is something DE gets extremely right, among all the other things it gets super-right - this sense of almost primordial hope

The object of hope, what is hoped for, is always absent. That absence is always a negation and the attainment of what is hoped for always a negation of negation.

dead gay comedy forums posted:sit around, kids Thanks for writing this. It is what people often miss about media that portrays extremely hosed up situations, it is rarely misery porn, it is all about hope, perseverance. Disco Elysium is one of the greatest pieces of art of this last decade. Esta merda vai passar e vai ter uma vida melhor do outro lado.

Authority urges you to assert and reassert your dominance over those around you. It enables you to understand the power dynamics of groups of thugs, know how far you can push a perpetrator, and how to establish control of situations. At high levels, Authority demands respect; even a perceived slight could send you into knee-breaking mode. With low Authority, however, you’re forever in awkward situations – like when you suffer psychological breakdowns after you yell at teenagers and they laugh at you.
