here are some disco elysium strategies i like to employ (DO NOT use for your 1st playthrough! the only strategy i can recommend for 1st one is: give many points to drama - it's your lie detector, comes in handy when you don't know the plot by heart)

these are also useful for hardcore mode. spoilers, of course:

don't click any green orbs. wake up, go downstairs, get kim, go straight to joyce. talk about her and wild pines. choose "8 percent of *all* cargo" line when it appears. it gives you the fifteenth indotribe thought. internalise asap (will take about 3h). when it's solved you can start clicking green orbs. each gives you 0.10 real. might seem like not much but if you saved up ALL green orbs unclicked untill now, it's actually hella money

the borscht. it raises phys permanently.

apo-cop helps you become a feminist (i.e. get the inexplicable feminist agenda thought). dont internalize it immediately. wait till just before the tribunal because the thought gives you +2 authority against men during research which helps you save kim during the shootout

try arresting garte. you'll get a red authority check and if you play it right you can knock your debt down to a 30 real. Kim will back you up by being passive aggressive towards garte >:}

if you fail a white check, don't immediately upgrade the corresponding skill to try again (unless important). go do something else and stack the failed white checks because you might get a couple of fails from the same skill. after you run out of things to do, upgrade the skill with the most failed checks and unlock them all-in-one

same with drugs. if you take a drug, go and do all checks corresponding to the temporarily upgraded skills

keep an eye on locked white checks. the game sometimes secretly unlocks them if you stumble upon the right dialogue line

i like to push gary into giving me the cuirass. wearing it saves you from the shoulder shot during tribunal. it's not important gameplay-wise actually, but... it doesn't take much to obtain it and you get the satisfaction of saving harry from that one shot

you may notice that jean calls you a drunkard in the final boss fight even if you're not drunk atm. this is because you gotta internalise "waste land of reality" which makes you sober upon completion. sobriety comes with debuff targeted at physical instrument.

I had a dream about great hawk. Or harpy. It was most likely a harpy. I had to climb a pine tree for him to find me then my mom said that i shouldn't climb those trees and then harpy says that I won't fall and then we began to clean a well from leaves. But he wouldn't stop dropping the shovels in the well, first he dropped one, then he tried to retrieve it with another shovel, he gets the shovel but he drops another one in there, then suddenly there are fucking 4 shovels in the well and we have none.

this is so funny thank you for sharing i am sorry he kept dropping your shovels but i love that your subconscious is coming up with sitcom style humor

personally i had a dream last night that my mom was going to make borscht

Things to Be Happy About

I can't remember when I started keeping this list - maybe about a decade ago? It migrated to a notebook that started falling apart, then to a much nicer notebook that hasn't fallen apart yet. It's grow by leaps over the years, as I've added things to it as they came to me - things and people and lyrics and happenings and quotations and all manner of what brings a person joy. There's only one rule: no negatives. Nothing can be phrased in terms of something unpleasant. If it can't be said nicely, it doesn't go in the book.

a good cup of tea

anticipation

knowing that you are heard

weekends

the patterns made on walls and pavement by the shadows of leaves in the sun

road trips

a good night's sleep

the company of friends

Lego

real maple syrup on your pancakes

finishing things up

starting new things

clean windows

warm sand

October skies

tulips

good lighting

hope

MINDFULNESS = PSYCHIC SURVIVAL.

My motto comprises to exalt in this moment rather than delude myself with any grandiose illusions.

PREFACE: PREPARE TO SET ASIDE A PARTIAL ETERNITY TO PERUSE THE CONTENTS OF THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE.

Ohm my...volt a mort... coalescence of coaxed friendship analogous to miarculous birth

whoa there lovely reader, no doubt without resistance,

your smile can generate

amp pull power to light up earth noah matter this totally tubular stranger

unknown to thee as Adam, evokes an aura, charisma, enigma,

patina, persona...wis spurs this note to kindle courtesy tinder warm fine companionable individual connection

exuding sheepish mirth

per intuiting your wool e worth.

I enjoy making accessible, convincible, evincible, gullible, intelligible,

kissable invoking comments perhaps on account oof a cerebral dent though many respondents rage at this gent sans his playful wordiness leant

only genuine acquaintanceship meant,

and their valuable time spent to decipher my gibberish, which binary logorrhea might rent asunder unsuspecting cyber surfer

evicted out the human league

since possessing propensity

for presenting ambitious, burdenous, conspicuous, disadventurous, onerous,

and tremendous cerebral task necessitating hours decrypting blurb subsequently forcing whatever gender appended recipient

to an anonymous he/she,

forsaking their precious time maybe even unwittingly affecting individual impacting his/her employment ending result they/them live in a tent.

This poet knows a mew lion

ranges of feline artful dodging cat skills, (especially when cavorting among comedians associated and linkedin with Borscht Belt - ha) concocting incomprehensible confusing trills.

Some of these claws pickling skills include maintaining mouse sized dignity muttering cheeses crust (while under fire from Stuart little), kibitzing, nibbling on self crafted bon mots, and rubbing dead giveaway crumbs (from double entendres) using all faux paux into thy maw paw cent less whole foods masticating mouth, where commestibles enter without choppers.

Sanguine at one hundred minus thirty six, or two squared + three squared + four squared + five squared + square root of one hundred = an apt and pithy phrase to matt's matrix labyrinth best characterized as a twisted maze (along a boulevard of broken dreams) lodged deeply inside this dutiful dada shackled to an endless role of scullion, but silently gesticulated for salvation.

This spruced up fun guy (and not unduly coy -- see) pines for friendship to cure nostrum from domestic plight i.e. living like a caged rat in cell bite size state.

Just a spoonful of sugar (hummed to that classic mary poppins melody) will most definitely help this medicine go down.

Mine current existence like a modern Henry David Thoreau bound by dependency of the twenty first century civilization.

After perusing this rambling prose (from mine being psyche feeling walled in), you might judge this personal struggle more on a par with Oliver Twist.

I sincerely seek salient gallant wings (with or without dish pan hands) to take this humble human being who can (ha) bring a fairy tale ending to my Cinderfella patterned existence.

Away I want to soar no matter such fantasy a fool's paradise.

An extra ticket to paradise (actually four powerball tickets bought today – September 7th, 2023 for that reason) just needs to be made manifest, and thee could be a boon, balm, salve, and tonic plus receive preferential treatment to travel in tandem with one stranger in a strange land.

Only upon surrendering to a deep and peaceful boss ah nova heavy metal sleep, (which dream state will take place soon) does the fictional world (within the wide wedded web of this wayward thinking wanderer) take hold and serve up a brief hiatus to a life devoid of contentment.

This amateur baker would cook up a souffle or rhubarb ken pie if willingly processed from mine own personal lake woebegone awash with raw bits of flotsam and jetsam and empty boxes of powdered milk biscuits, the one with big blue stains on the outside.

San sol invictus served ancient civilizations as their com-stock load.

Like a modern day icarus this wedded warbler mulls the possibility of finding a real live likeness of what constitutes a hologram of his mythic muse, who exudes able bodied confidence donning every filament.

Keep on dreaming cyber buddy, an anonymous reader might think, telepathically communicate or even communicate via email, which idealism goads me to broadcast the following fanciful (and perhaps not so far fetched) feasible find among the frequent purveyors of this website.

The vague nebulous barely perceptible kernel of a fictional account per my own conjured up vision (as pertains to what might comprise a companionable buddy to me) could conceivable materialize into an actual arch de triumphant revelation once landing this wistful nugget of an idea into the conscious of unconscious mind of an unknown galivanting fellow writer, who just by a fluke (of the worm holes populating the universe) finds themself piqued with curiosity about me.

Not a whit of information yet exists about this dabbler of prose, who envisions himself in seventh heaven (no matter he in truth really admits to espousing an atheistic outlook on the cosmos), where fickle finger of fate (usually the middle one raised by an obstreperous onlooker) ideally finds me all in the family within human species able to articulate in a civilly (disobedient) and democratic manner emotions, ideas, sentiments and thoughts with an unpretentious air of sophistication.

Said Homo sapien (meaning balsamic scented hominid) would also possess a cosmopolitan demeanor, yet clear of all any modest knotty suaveness, but also able, eager, ready and willing to allow, enable and provide quite an ability to get into an amazing tangle of literary profundity.

This older fellow seriously believes he got borne in an in apropos century and revels in another illusory consideration - aside from trying to summon forth a living gal of flesh and bone from this overactive imagination maybe an accompanying bipedal hominid within medium of time travelling.

Frequent farcical notions flit to and fro inside the biggest sex organ triggering bonafide premature ejaculations of bonhomie. Case in point hair with not an immensely large head.

This wordsmith would feel at home if transported to the renaissance or medieval ages, or more recently that war between the north and south.

If hedging bets with yours truly being a reincarnated union soldier of yore, you no doubt already can infer, where thy political and more pertinently national federation of me as singularity amidst webbed wide world would get cast.

Okay, the original aim of (what many might hashtag as yahoo) really wishes to explore make believe world, and just maybe prick inquisitive online browser, who although she might not be seeking male relationship just by happenstance or circumstance experiences some inexplicable necessity to reply.

In the event should lady luck liberate yours truly would be like a divine guiding star, I know best to tamp down any precipitous illusions of grandeur, but would let the natural course of familiarity usher the chap a roan of sacredness to be cherished for however short or long such a friendship might endure.

Oh yes, an ongoing (specifically offline) interaction motivates this doubting thomas fool hardy spurious posting to be ransacked with absolutely total consent in an effort to be plucked from this (utterly difficult to describe) morass of contemptuous husbandry discontent with self, yet consideration to stay faithfully married with wife (since July 25th, 1996) would be a moderately strong consideration.

So, now with a zing

or an unexpected

gold plated invitation after yodeling hoop ye kin be a yang 2 me yin Asia step into the digital xing via summit da fall low wing written ass jest byte ting

tongue in cheek unsure if phone will ring in an effort to hear pleasant,

yet discordant musical ka -- ching for cherished pennies, nickels, dimes,

et cetera from heaven to bring.
