harry du bois steps up to the lectern in front of the crowd. "as a lesbian...." he pauses, looks at kim questioningly. kim shakes his head imperceptibly. harry looks back at the audience "...supporter"

sometimes your sex drive is nonexistent. but you must keep jacking off, if only for the love of the game.

the funniest part of this post is that we haven't even broken 1k and people are already tagging this as other games. im talking about disco elysium here. its an edit of the game's logo. you think that game you tagged this as fucked you up? play disco elysium if you have like 30 hours to spare and would like a few new mental illnesses

this is one of the stupidest things ive ever come up with! 💘

I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too

THE NEXT WORLD MURAL

me as a detective: WHO DID THIS 😂😂😂

standard video game easter eggs: here’s a reference to one of the dev’s other games. if you stand still for 30 seconds something silly might happen ☺️

disco elysium easter eggs: dump all of your points into this skill on the very first day and talk to a gap in the wall to confirm you’re bisexual

I started a new disco game and he wasnt there. Straight up just didnt exist.

King??????? Where are you

have we tried substance abuse my liege

New fan translation of the Disco Elysium novel posted on reddit!

This one comes with the extras and also the original writing/editing/worldbuilding credits, and the lists of hundreds of names of Elysium characters, geographical entities and assorted concepts that fill the inside covers of the printed copy. Hours of unrestrained fun with the lists alone.

And footnotes. So many footnotes. And fayde checks everywhere because you wouldn't believe the stuff that was canonized in English by the game to begin with.

Btw if it can be in any way helpful, I wrote chapter-by-chapter summaries the other month that try to sort of frame which way the plot is going without spoiling further events.
