At least it wasn't Woolie, who for some reason cuts out their room cam on the youtube uploads, so you miss them visually blowing up at funny or cool stuff there.

They usually put the facecam back in for the big blow ups. See: Disco Elysium breaking Woolie's back.

Not putting their cam back on for "You're black" was terrible mishap though, Reggie's expression second 1 of the option coming on-screen is great.

I guess I'm somewhat glad that Woolie has decided to stick with his IRL lib tendencies, because I didn't even know you could do this weird stock stuff with light bending guy, it's pretty funny.

The followup of "So, uh, what kind of music do you listen to?" is underrated since they reload like cowards before noticing it.

is there anyone doing full clips of stuff like this on youtube? twitch clips are way too short to capture the majesty of this.

especially with chat. chat is usually terrible, but with something like this, it works real good

it's loving weird seeing him act in exactly the way the game is relentlessly mocking through. Weirdly, he has noticed that the game thinks meaningless centrism is for dipshit cowards but he is either bruteforcing through the dissonance or just disagrees. He's not saying.

edit: by the games standards Woolie is a moralist, with the games libs being what we'd call neo-libs. Woolie literally thinks no one should ever do anything because someone might get hurt, he's 100% moralist irl but went ultralib in game

Well I mean part of the joke is that there's not really a difference between the two beyond mask on mask off. Joyce pretty much outright tells you that as does Phil Greaves at the end. The Moralists I guess you could argue or putting on the airs of at least being SocDems, but as the Sunday friend puts up in big neon letters, this is a complete fabrication and they really are just Neolibs.

Disco is great and a lot of it's humour is political, but it's more based on how much of a mess you are and just genuinely funny wordplay and interactions.

The impression that it's a purely political tract is unfortunate cause it's really really not. It just has considerably more to say than most games.

It's funny above all else. It is the funniest game I can think of.

a bit of an odd ask, but is it possible for someone in the thread to make a recording of pat's suicide mission run with the chat alongside it? like this?


I'll gift plat or an avatar cert or something if someone'll do it and put it on youtube for preservation. the chat going all in on harbinger shenanigans is great fun.

woolie's DE twitch stream made it to That Check in the church and you could see the entire chat chewing its knuckles as it waited for the roll. he succeeded, despite only having 2 authority points. lucky, lucky

considering how uncomfortable the "you're black" failed check made woolie and reggie, that is probably a good thing

May 6, 2007


I've seen people reference 'that' check elsewhere as being the most important one in the game but I'm not sure which one it is, is it the passive 'challenging' one in the dialog? what's so important about it? or maybe i'm thinking of another one with the boat lady idk

i don't know all the particulars but my understanding is that failing the red authority check in the church causes the protagonist to get insanely racist against Kim to the point even his infinite patience runs out and he just fucks off for the rest of the day

yeah its a very mean spirited check to fail. It's the one odd thing in the game where i don't know what I was supposed to feel. Or how to interpret it thematically. Like why does Harry just lose it in that very specifically racist manner even if you've avoided all other chances to be racist? Why at that moment of almost triumph?

failed authority checks are some of the most dangerous of the lot because they make harry do insane, self-destructive poo poo in an attempt to gain dominance over the conversation. usually that consists of screaming meltdowns or suicide attempts, but in kim's case, harry's misfiring brain remembers that racial slurs are a sore spot for kim and goes "fire off the nastiest slur you can think of, that'll get him on the back foot"
