  Calling Kim a slur says more about the effects of racism than the entirety of Detroit Become Human.

  In Heavy Rain, no one has personality. In Disco Elysium, EVERYONE has personality. Even your personality has personality. Electrochemistry is so fun to listen to.

  One thing I find so interesting about Disco Elysium is that... it&apos;s not a game about creating a God among men, it&apos;s a game about <i>barely being in control of yourself</i>

  David Cage: “Game overs are a failure of the game designer.”<br>Disco Elysium: “You fail to grab your necktie from the ceiling fan and die of a heart attack within minutes of waking up.”

  i will never forget the moment in disco elysium when, while trying to convince to punks to give my character their cool jackets i failed a check, and instead of saying anything convincing the character began to have a tantrum worthy of a seven-year-old, foot stomping and whining included. the punks felt so awkward one gave my character his jacket out of pity! that whole exchange started one hell of a laugh out of me! god i love that game

  Worst moment in my Disco Elysium playthrough was trying to get Kim to dance and failing and instead calling him a slur and he leaves. I was devastated.

  I will always remember Disco as the game containing a chair so uncomfortable, it might actually kill you

  When I first played Disco Elysium I thought that the title was just a joke about a Latin phrase beloved by law and med students - Disco Inferno, which means &quot;I learn through suffering&quot;. But in one interview Kurvitz actually explained that Elysium is the name of the world that he and his friends created in the process of playing homebrew RPGs. And so the title means &quot;I learn Elysium&quot; and it was always meant to be an introduction followed by more works in that setting(although, the actual first published work in it is Sacred and Terrible Air, which was being translated, but now is in legal Limbo).<br><br>Also, Clancy Brown&apos;s cold evisceration of David Cage is something I really needed to hear.

  David Cage seeing himself as the first ever person to make a compelling narrative in a video game really just goes to show how far up his ass his head is. The video game medium has been around for ages, much longer than he has been in it. He doesn&apos;t see how the medium can elevate his stories, only how his stories can elevate the medium itself, which is just incredibly pretentious and kinda just disrespectful.

  The juxtaposition of ‘I wish games would do this, games don’t do this and now I’m making games do this’ and ‘I have never played a lot of games, I’m doing my own thing with not many influences’ is insane to me.<br><br>Games have portrayed politics, homosexuality, death, grief- all those things for years. He doesn’t know it because he hasn’t bothered to play them.
