I am reading Marcel Proust's Within a Budding Grove in French and i couldn't help but think that these lines can apply to Jean lecturing Harry about his addictions and disabilities when he himself is a speed addict and chronically depressed… I absolutely had to find an English translation to share this.

Good morning to you too

''The world is cold and lonely...'' Part 3/4 Part 1 Part2 Part4

[discardedtower]

Riaz Moola, the founder of CoGrammar and Longdue which claims to be making a "successor to Disco Elysium" is so cartoonishly evil, like I can't believe this shit:

- he is currently legally preventing Argo Tuulik from working at Summer Eternal and in the industry until April 2025

- he wanted to be a shareholder of Summer Eternal and was asking SE to promote Longdue and not marked themselves or accept any crowdfunding until April 2025

- he is also teaming up with za/um, and taking Tuulik to court which is insanely expensive, which is why Argo is close to bankruptcy now, and had to set up a GoFundMe

- said GFM was taken down after a day and it's very likely that Moola did this because

- on the reddit post about this GFM Moola has made a comment that has like 300 upvotes, and some negative comments directed at him have a lot of downvotes, which is super suspicious considering other comments don't have even half as much engagement there, (and I think some comments even got deleted somehow!) &

- he is the CEO of Hyperiondev, which infamous for deleteting negative reviews about it's shit quality coding bootcamp

- Moolah's response to Argo was that "come on I'm just a small business owner and you were friendly with me in an email some months ago" (this dude is the CEO of multiple companies and who sues their friend into bankruptcy??)

- Argo Tuulik has said that he is doubtful that anyone from the old disco team is working at Longdue, and Moola could be using the fact that Tuulik was doing something for a very short time at CoGrammar to say that 'former de developers are at Longdue'

In conclusion,

Fuck Riaz Moola and what Longdue is making has nothing to do with disco elysium

The genius writer behind Evrart Claire, Cuno, Jean Vicquemare, Judit Minot, the Hardie Boys, René and Gaston among others needs our help ! Please share and consider donating if you can !

Argo Tuulik, Disco Elysium writer currently employed at Summer Eternal, is going into debt over a legal battle against ZA/UM and Longdue techbro investors who want to wring every bit of money they can out of the hard work of creatives like Argo and Dora.

Summer Eternal is a workers-owned game development studio home to writers and designers from one of the greatest games of all time. Any amount donated to Argo's gofundme helps get them back on track to creating art.

Disco Elysium Jean-Francois Lyotard: Libidinal Economy Mark Fisher: Postcapitalist Desire

I found it really interesting how the Return/revolution is called Girl Child Revolution, and wondered if there was a reason for it being gendered like that. After reading some chapters from Libidinal Economy I thought there were some parallels here. I'm not sure if this is really in the text, this is more of a web-weaving post.
