What a loving rear end in a top hat. To be fair (but you don't gotta had it to him) he probably didn't have any. He's out of bullets when you meet him, and probably hasn't shot anything since the tribunal. The bullet that killed The Hanged Man was probably his very last one.

A self hating misanthrope with a grain of longing that got Harry involved, if only he knew what he was awakening with that fateful shot.

Finished my first playthrough, definitely going to do another run to see how much can change since I'm sure a lot of events play out differently Trial at the end went well enough considering how much time I spent dicking around and how everything went to poo poo during the merc standoff. Eight people dead and Kim in the hospital but I was able to solve everything about the murder easily enough past that point. I had done visual calculus in Klaasje's room and wanted to investigate the island much earlier but as far as I can tell there's no way to get there until after the shootout happens and you gain access to the boat. Maybe a tunnel from the bunker north of the church leads there but Kim shut the idea down at the time and then it disappeared as an option, it was super low percent anyway. I thought the standoff was scripted to happen immediately after confronting Ruby but maybe that was a coincidence of timing. Never found out where she went after that and if the gun she had wasn't mine (I think it was just one she smuggled herself) then I never got a lead on who purchased it from the pawn shop. All the time spent phasmid hunting paid off, was able to easily mind meld with it when it appeared on the island. Not sure how much it actually helped with the trial besides producing the helmet and scope, my partner mostly took it as more evidence that I'd gone insane even with Cuno backing me up. Helping the musicians set up the nightclub in the church didn't seem to interact much with the case, the other officers thought it was a waste of time and I can't really disagree. Never managed to fully complete it by making my own theory of the hole in space, I think I had to speak to Joyce in private to get rid of the -10 debuff on that check. Never got past the first night of the Communist reading club either since the standoff pushed me into the end game at that point. Solved the murder, got the confession and motive, got taken back by the precinct and they put Cuno in a junior detective program Besides wasting a lot of time I did a relatively normal run with most points put into the top row skills. Going to play the next run as a fascist lunatic and try to avoid some of the more obvious mistakes.

e: Quote it not edit Special shoutout to the Wompty-Dompty Dom Centre. Ended with about 10 skill points still waiting to be spent and over $150 since it was triggering multiple times in almost every conversation. Don't think any of the other thought cabinet bonuses came anywhere close to being as useful.

Kim was gone driving the body to the morgue my first game when I talked to everyone the second day. He's with me when I'm talking to Martin Matinaise and he can barely hold himself together. Harry: WHY IS THE SMOKER ON THE BALCONY SO MYSTERIOUS - Kim:  Also, think i misread and misheard Cuno interactions after the locusts thing. Thought he was embracing art and being whoever he wants. Now it seems like i made it lame. Unless I did something different I don't remember this feels unresolved. At least I got the girl out of the cold and studying inside the bookstore. And I got a neat hat! Probably the best hat in the game. Goes great with the phasmid necklace.

I'm torn between 1) every Major Arcana being represented by a different Disco Elysium character, or 2) each one represented by the contents of Harry's brain, all of the skills/copotypes/thought cabinet horrors.

Nah, just got a bunch of the Hardies killed in this incident. The revolution is larger than his bullshit. Also just realized the special borscht helped me out! I turned up the vodka thinking it would help with talking with the Hardies somehow. Looser lips or better chance on the authority check...would have made that harder tho lol. At any rate I'm sure they enjoyed it. And I just had to Google it cause I wasn't seeing any effect and of course it helped the Hardies face the mercs. If some had run off it would have been easier for the mercs to kill everyone left. Titus surviving was such a relief. Poor Angus tho. Shaking his hand man to man and acknowledging HE is the law here and already a sergeant in his own department was so good. MariusLecter fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Oct 14, 2022 |

I always found the character-building system and the rewriting of the internal monologue to be more interesting than the lore of fictional world itself. I could explore any setting with the same RPG mechanics in place and be just as fascinated with what parts of the world are either invisible or impossible to ignore depending on one's own neurological tics, with past life experiences there to fill the gaps of information with bias and semi-truths.

The Arab spring was kicked off by a guy setting himself on fire because a lady cop pushed him around. If that can spark a revolution I’m not sure why a bunch of mercs trying to wipe out a labour union couldnt

The Homestead Strike and subsequent attempt on Henry Clay Frick's life, an incident quite similar to the events of DE, affected the American labour movement so drastically that it has never really recovered.

Alchenar posted:I'm still stuck on where they were between 'hugely influential' and 'a complete failure at everything they did until they made a video game' An Estonian guy I spoke with said they made a huge splash in the counterculture scene last decade and were also pretty reviled by the mainstream taste makers. They hijacked an art magazine, wrote some provocative books, probably some other stuff. The ZA/UM collective apparently quietly fizzled out or broke up some years ago - it was kind of a surprise that they came out with something as successful as Disco Elysium, as they were already disappearing from the public consciousness. The ex ZA/UM folks are supposedly still doing some cool poo poo, just not as a collective. They still aren't widely known or acknowledged for it in Estonia. That's just from one guy though, there's probably more to it. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Oct 14, 2022 |

As far as I can tell, the 'Kei Martin' thing is suspicious to say the least and doesn't *really* match even the firsthand account from the ZA/UM folks themselves. I mean, straight-up the Amazon thing didn't work in the way it's portrayed there. However, Martin Luiga posted something more on Medium, claiming Kurvitz was fired for fostering a toxic environment: https://medium.com/@martinluiga/happy-birthday-disco-elysium-c915344664b6 From the way Luiga presents it, this is all a manipulation from Kender and the fraudman to pit Kurvitz and the rest of the team against each other, and certainly there seems to be some animosity based on the ZA/UM devs tweeting about this, so it would seem to track. Also Kurvitz being compared to Trotsky after he was accused of being a Stalinist is p. funny.

If he was yet another toxic game developer, it wouldn’t be too surprising (especially given the excerpts people posted from the book where he talks about the insanely unhealthy work ethic and how the project almost collapsed at the end), but I would’ve expected Jason Schreier or someone similar to be sharing anonymous accounts of said toxicity by this point. I hope he wasn’t, because no one deserves to work under that, not even for the masterpiece that is Disco Elysium.
