The people that man those stations don't tend to "last" more than a handful of years.

The ships that originally explored the Pale are suggested to have been kept "real" by their crews and their well-trained mental practices. In the modern era, the Pale is compressed from its rarefied state into something more stable with immensely powerful radio transmissions, the weight of the information protecting those who travel upon it for a time.

Paul Zuvella posted:Im more confused about the mechanics of it, not the fact that its possible. Like... does your boat just... keep floating? On nothing? if matter doesnt exist how does your boat stay floating, how does it know to keeep floating when it comes out the other side? in shallow pale, there's still ground, ref. this image of a worker in the pale. shallow pale still holds some properties of the reality that used to be there, such as the surface of the planet. get deeper and the concept of "the ground" and "gravity" become irrelevant, as eventually do ideas like "things can exist and have measurable properties." all traversable routes through pale simply don't go too deep, because anyone who tries can't come back once concepts like "turning around" stop working wiegieman posted:The ships that originally explored the Pale are suggested to have been kept "real" by their crews and their well-trained mental practices.

Seriously, Joyce's "reality lowdown" is the coolest god drat exposition dump in any video game I've ever played. Then again a whole lot about this game is the coolest I've ever played.

So it sounds like the Collectors Edition with the statue and the physical art book now isn’t shipping until Q1 2022.”iam8bit email” posted:Disco Elysium Collector's Edition - Unfortunately not arriving in time for the holidays. This will now be shipping Q1 2022. Customers who pre-ordered should expect a follow up email with more information soon. The good news is that the regular physical edition will get a digital copy of the art book so you don’t have to pay $250 to see it. ”iam8bit email” posted:Disco Elysium - The Final Cut (PlayStation 5)

Is there any word on a second Switch version patch? I'd really like to do a second playthrough but I'd rather not suffer through the long load times and frequent crashes again. Game is good but the journey from outside the Whriling to the rooftop terrace is "take out my phone and start browsing twitter" level of load time.

This might be a tired question in this thread, but coming in to my second playthrough since launch what would be a good build to go for to make this playthrough as dissimilar as possible? I don't remember much, but according to my save: If I don't ask here I'll probably end up playing the exact same way again. Also I don't think I can be a fascist. or mean to Kim.

I don't remember much, but according to my save: Go high on the Psy/Fys. Your Inland Empire was high enough that I'm sure you saw some stuff but there's a lot of neat information you probably missed out on from Espirit de Corps. Insofar as any of the political alignments correspond to skills, you'd be looking at maybe doing Moralism, though Ultraliberal goes with everything. Trust everything Electrochemistry tells you. christmas boots fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Nov 5, 2021 |

High PSY/FYS runs are great. Esprit de Corps, Inland Empire and Shivers are all top tier skills.

Go nuts with Empathy, Inland Empire, Shivers, Espirit de Corps, and Electrochemistry. You might be too dumb and unobservant to figure some things out, but your people skills and weird empathetic psychic powers will save the day! Drugs will help you on your quest.

I really kind of want to play a physical 6 runthrough, then chug all that brew, and bump a little more, to get my half-light super high fairly early on. Just to see just how insanely twitchy a playthrough that would be like.

Especially during the fascism spirit quest and/or confronting the skulls when they loiter around kim's car

Decided I couldn't wait for a more stable switch built and started a new playthrough. 4/4/2/2 stats, Inland Empire as my main skill. So far I have thrown up twice, had a panic attack, and got so filled with grief about my ex-wife that I collapsed on the spot. I never managed the secret compartment of my clipboard before and I missed sleeping on the island on my first run so I missed nearly all of the ex stuff, which means this is going to be my Epic Divorce Guy playthrough.

Half Light and Physical Instrument go so well together, after playing an intellectual artcop on my first playthrough those two really jumped out as having a lot to say second time round and really helped set the tone for my fascist meathead Harry

Get really, REALLY into the "the supranatural". Join the Remote Viewers Division of the police force, use your psychic powers to resolve the curse and solve the case, converse with the pale about nuclear weapons, speak to the spirits of the objects around you, and just all around have a really good time. (some portion of that may even be things you can actually do)

Starting to wonder if I accidentally did my first playthrough on version 1.0 of the Switch release somehow, my second one seems to be going a little smoother. The loading times feel a little better and I've only had one crash, which is obviously not good but feels better than before. Somehow my Moralist run has ended up with Harry strongly believing in the supranatural and warning everyone he meets of the coming apocalypse. I am going to bring about a bipartisan end of days through incremental change and moderate reform.
