Australia doesn't let you have real life drugs be beneficial in games. But if you take Zoomex instead of Cocaine for that speed buff then everything is fine for some reason.

This game as about being a cop in the 1970s. Kinda. If the main character wasn't upsettingly racist, sexist and homophobic then the player's immersion would be shattered.

I'm feeling hopeful about any suss content being done in the right way because these devs seem to be reasonably thoughtful but also I'm looking forward to seeing strategy guides a year from now being like "ok you gotta go the racist and feminist karaoke hobo character class to maximise your speech check success for this part of the game."

I hope you can go full into exploring hidden mysteries and just kinda solve the main case incidentally while you are trying to figure out what secrets the buildings are keeping from you.

I'm looking forward to having a high Encyclopedia skill and bothering every NPC with inane trivia then crying when they won't respect me. Much like my real life self.

The racial extremist is extremely good and also extremely bad.

I can't believe these guys just transformed me into a skill check like that.

The struggle between my desire not to disappoint by good friend Kim and my desire to do dumb things is real.

Holy poo poo I got a thought that gives me +3 Perception, at the small cost of losing out on a point of Encyclopedia.

What was that from?

Volition gives you one of the best sequences in the game.

The endgame happens on Day 6 if you don't trigger it earlier.

You can ask your team about it at the end of the game: They say wouldn't work with you if that was the case plus you are so hosed that no mob boss would dare trust you.

A significant part of Disco Elysium is exploring toxic masculinity so its not like this is a "cool hard-boiled detective" thing.

Evrart spoilers:

Joyce says Evrart has a twin brother who looks and talks exactly like him, named Edgar. This is how they get around term limits as union leader. They can only be told apart by Edgar's lazy eye. When you first meet Evrart you can notice he has a lazy eye.

It's very good how Cuno is the most repugnant goblin child of all time but also my good friend who is kinda cool?

For some reason one of the funniest parts of the game to me is when you first meet Kim, tell him the body is still in the tree and Esprit de Corps is like "it's obvious he would prefer that the body was not in the tree."
