Disco Elysium - Blog Posts
kim's souped up sports car has to be the most unsafe vehicle on the continent, this is a shopping cart powered by a v12 enginge that apparently puts it up to 100-180 kmh. and he drives it while being legally blind. the game states tiptop tournée is mostly popular for the violent and lethal crashes and i doubt these things would do anything but that. professor layton and the passengers' curiously mangled remains in a 100 metre radius ass car.
In the original tweet it’s not even her cat; it’s her neighbour’s cat.
this isn't "fixing" it this would be just as insufferable
I believe you but this is insane to me because it’s explicitly a small village, the sort of place that the left is meant to view as a socially conservative backwater. That it’s not being presented negatively, by default in fixing it, is honestly kinda worrying re the state of the left
It says something that every single attempt to "fix" the cute witch in the alps game concept makes something that is vastly, vastly worse than the original idea, and sometimes is more actually fascist.
Mostly it's that the thing the Disco Elysium writers were going for is much harder than it looks from the outside. But also other things.
“young witch trying to solve the mystery of her neighbor’s missing cat in a small village in the Alps” continues to be hilarious don’t get me wrong but it’s kind of making me want to take a crack at treating the concept seriously. In this insular rural community, a cat goes missing. A young woman who takes her community’s professed ideals of helpfulness and harmony in witchcraft seriously volunteers to try to find him. Realizes the more she searches and the more she asks around that everyone in this idyllic village is quietly seething with resentment against their neighbors and against the world, that the insularity of her village is harboring a festering social rot that no one is allowed to address. No one can leave. The hills have fallen silent. Something is eating the cats and no one is allowed to address this. Ötzi is there

oh my goodness i cant take it anymore
RPGs will be like. Okay, here's the the most beautiful portrait of a character we could render. And here's the goofiest fucking 3D character model you've ever seen.
What does it say about me that I feel like having a brain that works the way Harry Du Bois' does would be cool and efficient?
More artists should really draw their favorite ships in the Disco Elysium jackets. It's character analysis to say which character would wear which jacket.
the way disco elysium plays with and ultimately shatters the concept of "camaraderie" in the police and the military truly is So. Good.
it introduces you to kim who is this ideal of the Brother in Arms - you meet him and you know. he'd lay it all down for you.
you then proceed to realize this is a kim thing, not a cop thing, despite the skill that informs you about it being The Cop Camaraderie skill
the rest of the cops are not just unhelpful, they're cruel. they're a boys' club of toxic masculinity, homophobia and joking about how they abuse their power, like when jean stole mustard from a homeless man. if harry begs them for help, the greatest kindness the operator can do for him is pretend he didn't hear and cut the connection to save harry's pride. the more you put into this skill, the more the rancid underbelly of policing and policemen as individuals in this system comes to light.
and that's before we get into the plot-relevant stuff, how martinaise was abandoned by jean and co because jean was too damn busy trying to make a point to harry than do his fucking job.
then there's the bond between the paramilitary squad. unlike the cops, they're tight, a family to each other, and it makes them completely immune to reason the moment the Head of their hierarchy gets murdered. and this head of theirs, the most rational, most charismatic of them all, their leader, still was a monster who, for His Men and their Morale, saw kidnapping some poor girl and offering her like a human sacrifice to the pit of animals that was his squadron as a Rational course of action.
maybe there's love there, in a way, but it's the kind of love that wholly depends on seeing your circle as the only people deserving of life, and the rest of the world as insects.
and i think abt how so many other stories that try to be cop or military critical still fall into that trap of believing that the people in these environs are a Family doing their Best, that they got each others back and thats all that they need to get through this!(whatever plot event is happening)
and not that its like. a cesspool of keeping each other in Check or maintaining that Family only by Othering the rest of the world
Thinking about narratives where the setting is a mirror of the main character almost as though they're an extension of one another and that sense of connection drives the plot and makes both the place and the character better by the end of the story as though they helped to heal each other
Often I wish I could do drawing or animation as fanart. All I can do is write and make silly little guys out of felt. Behold, the silly little guys!
Just a few of the many Disco Elysium quotes that have become a regular part of my vocabulary
Why do I know more about the political history of the world of Disco Elysium than Real Earth
Whichever Copotype you get the first time you play Disco Elysium should be some sort of diagnostic criteria. Why yes, I did get Sorry Cop.
To be fair, you have to have an extremely high level of mental illness to understand Disco Elysium
