decided to make some custom skills for myself, these are psyche ones
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obsession - finding some fixation that gives you will to live and indulging it at all costs.
Masking - adapt, transform, mimic. Camouflaging weird parts of yourself to be more likable.
Le R��veur - imagination bordering on maladaptive daydreaming
Moral - empathy based on (in)justice and subconscious analysis of situation

hihi so, i made a custom disco elysium skill set for my oc William and i wrote the church shivers interaction but its him and his own world and lore
update: the Eugene version is out! it has more lore if you're interested
enjoy
SHIVERS - In an apartment building complex near the borders of Voltarulia, a lone man lays in his bed, seconds earlier he was in a dreamless sleep. The wind rattles the leafs outside. He rolls in his bed and begins to dream.
YOU - ..It feels cold.
SHIVERS - I AM THE COUNTRY.
I AM VOLTARULIA.
YOU - What do you mean?
SHIVERS - I AM THE LAND. I AM THE RISING SUN. I AM MOONSHINE. I AM THE BORDERS AND EVERYTHING WITHIN THEM.
I AM THE STREETS, THE HOMES, THE BATTLEFIELDS, THE CEMETERIES.
I AM THE CHURCHES. I AM THE TICKING CLOCKS, THE RINGING BELL TOWERS.
I AM EVERYTHING WITHIN.
YOU - How are you speaking to me?
SHIVERS - THROUGH THE LEAFS, THE WIND, THE DREAMS. I AM THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE. I AM EVERYWHERE.
YOU - Why speak to me?
SHIVERS - YOU ARE AN AGENT OF VOLTARULIA'S MILITARY AND SECURITY DEPARTMENT. YOU HAVE WORKED MANY LONG SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
I HAVE SEEN YOU. I'VE SEEN YOU WITH THEM, AND I'VE SEEN YOU WITHOUT THEM. I'VE SEEN YOU ON MY HILLS, BEFORE THE SUNRISE. I'VE SEEN YOU WITH HIM, AND I HAVE SEEN YOU ALONE.
FIGHT OR FLIGHT - Something isn't right. There has to be a reason behind this.
YOU - Why are you speaking to me?
SHIVERS - I HAVE SEEN YOU STRUGGLE AND STUMBLE, I HAVE SEEN THE BLOOD YOU SPILT IN THE NAME OF THE COUNTY. IT IS NOT WORTH IT, IT IS NOT WORTH THE LIVES LOST. YOU ARE BURNING, THEY ALL ARE.
DEEP DOWN, YOU KNOW.
MEMENTO MORI - You know.
YOU - But.. why now? i'm already ashes.
SHIVERS - THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU, NO MATTER HOW LITTLE. YOU CANNOT QUIT BY REGULAR MEANS, BUT YOU CAN ESCAPE.
BE VIGILANT, BE SHARP. I AM SORRY. I LOVE YOU.

Been rambling with @fauxbia about our critters if they had some of the disco elysium skills, and I finally decided to draw something for that
Didn't draw all of them else I was going to perish </3 also rip motorics for not being included
The big topmost middle skill doesnt belong to PLU but to Spears instead

it’s probably definitely been mentioned before but I do think the Harry being an innocence theory becomes more interesting if we assume that the other innocences in history also had internal voices / skills.

[image description: photos of The Disco Elysium Tarot, printed letterpress in an edition of one from handset lead type and linoleum blocks. It is a complete 78-card tarot deck printed primarily with white text and illustrations on medium grey cardstock, in a custom dark grey hardcase box with a hand-marbled orange and yellow endsheet. The backs of the deck are decorated with an illustration of a sprig of may bells, and a quote from Smallest Church in Saint-Saëns: "None of this matters at all." The interpretive meaning of each card is expressed on its face with a small excerpt of the game's text. The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits of Harry's Attributes—Motorics, Psyche, Physique, Intellect—and each card in that suit is a quote from a skill under that Attribute. The Major Arcana are assigned quotes from other sources like NPC dialogue or Thought Cabinet problems & solutions. Pips for the Minors are counted with diamonds like the game's skill points; each actor or title is printed with their in-game color, but made shiny & metallic with bronzing powder.
each piece of text was set in handset lead type, assembled from individual pieces for each letter and space, and printed relief on a chandler & price clamshell press. end description.]
🎊🎊 Desert Bus for Hope starts for 2023 on nov. 11th and i have made an item this year for the craftalong that will be up for giveaway between 6am-12pm on Monday the 13th! 🎊🎊 It is a full tarot deck based on Disco Elysium and it has several pieces of my heart & soul in it but NOT my blood because i put a bandaid right on that :) donations for this and any other auctions & giveaways for Desert Bus go to Child's Play Charity.
notes: i did not make a whole new interpretive model for this deck, apologies, that was outside of my scope. it's generally compatible with a Rider-Waite model, with Motorics for Wands, Psyche for Cups, Physique for Swords, and Intellect for Disks. (full distribution of text listed by card, linked below. any spelling or transcription errors you find there, i promise i fixed them in print—that's copied from my digital mockup which was copied hastily from screenshots.)
i also do not track hours on these kinds of projects because that way lies madness, but i will say: i knew how much time it would take to print it. it was a lot but i was not worried about it, i know how to print. i was very worried about how much time it would take to absorb the sheer amount of text, and distribute it across the cards, and really get an array i believe in. i was right to worry, and i have absolutely had a few anxious nightmares about discovering the Perfect excerpt that should've gone in and i missed it, and the suit of Intellect made me want to lay on the floor a few times, but still! i believe there's many versions of a deck you could make from this game and this one is a good one.
i think the Minors fit really well with the double-edged sword of Harry's skills, their advice, their priorities. the circular way the Fool-World assignment works out makes me smile every time. The colors on The Star came out so nice. i think Justice fulfills some of my favorite things about Kim's character & purpose in the story. i worried sometimes that editing to such short clips would lose too much of the politics of the game, but of course you can't really take them out and they're especially present in the Majors—the Devil and the Hierophant, The Star and The Sun. i've wanted to design a tarot deck for years and i love this game deeply and i let this idea percolate for a few months and it never stopped making me laugh so here it is, & given a beautiful purpose :)
i also literally could not have done this without xyrilin's Disco Reader and the FAYDE On-Air Playback Experiment to navigate the dialogue and skill checks. Really couldn’t have tied the whole concept & colophon in its final bow without the Disco Reader :)) thank thank thank, they're so fun to investigate that it was honestly very difficult to focus on my task instead of veering off and exploring every branch in an extremely disorganized way.
actual printing went well honestly, very few problems! i think that means i'm getting pretty good at planning one of these monstrosities, although perhaps it also means i'm not challenging myself enough. hmm. no that's silly there's 78 ding dang cards in this thing. anyway the drop & replace formes worked well, no registration issues. mum convinced me to overprint another half a deck's worth of cards when I was printing backs & borders and of course she was right :/ there were a handful of cards that actually had better line breaks and fewer lines total in true type than in the digital mockup, so i needed all the spares I had to put those new short quotes into the appropriate border breakage. next time i will not question her.
handset in Garamond, Eden Bold, and secret Neuland.
WIP : full text card assignments
bonus photo of the kind of trash notes i always take to plan things like how many borders were printed with space for short excerpts vs long excerpts, and how many of those are majors vs. minors, because they have a slightly different frame at the bottom edge, etc.
Tumblr media
[image description: they are truly garbage notes, i tell you. half of it is written at angles to the other half, many numbers in the math problems are not labeled, mistakes are scribbled over. it gets me there but it doesn't look pretty. end description.]

If you want some other game recommendations from a huge gamer that is NOT Hogwarts Legacy, I got you bc we do not support antisemitism or transphobia.
Full disclaimer: If your advocacy goes as far as for Trans and Jewish voices to fall on deaf ears about a VIDEOGAME?!? Then, you were never an ally to begin with.
But, as a videogame lover and player, I will make other recommendations for you to play if you really need a good game that will support the rights of other people and is not built on hate!
If you really want a wizard game:
Play Skyrim and Eldan Ring! Those are two great open-world/build your character/magic games that don’t center around magic but have magic nonetheless! They actually have more spells and than this stupid game centered around wizards! Plus, they both have HUGE open worlds that will take (I promise) hundreds of hours to play and explore.
Play the Witcher!!! Although I have not played it, my sister raves left and right about the Witcher 3! It’s a choice-based, super long, world-heavy game that just immerses you in both magic and spells from the get go! Although not a ton of spells, it’s a timeless game and WAY ahead of it’s time.
If you really want a choice based game:
We literally got Cyberpunk a few years ago! It has amazing features for custom characters and fun armor to mix and match. It also has a choice-based storyline and multiple endings based on the choices you make/categories of your personality you update! What’s also so great about this game is it naturally has great representation. I’ve never seen a game that has NPCs have a set sexual orientation and won’t stray from it: if you are a straight man and hit on the lesbian, she will TELL YOU she’s a lesbian. It’s very interesting and also have trans representation and her personality is not just her being trans. It’s compelling. So, play this game!!!
Another set of great choice games is the Life is Strange series! Although not open world, every choice you make impacts the ending/relationships you have with different characters. There is also GREAT LGBTQ+ rep in every game they produce. The first time I played these games, my brain chemistry changed.
The walking dead series is an AMAZING choice-based series with a lot of representation. Although not open world and depressing(lol), it is a super immersive experience and has your heart rip in half for the characters. In the last game, especially, we see a more immursive and creative fighting techniques that just made you binge the game.
Another great game (that isn’t exactly choice but has an interesting way for you to interact with the world based off the way you want to explore) is Disco Elysium. You get to choose how/why/when/where you interact with the world and people. I have literally never played a game like this and my jaw dropped when I started. I could NOT put it down. The clock ticks throughout the day so you need to be careful about what you do with the amount of time you have. EVERY relationship will unravel another part of the mystery going on throughout the game. And, it’s very intense, fun, and full of philosophical shit that just makes you excited. Plus, you can tell it was made with so much dedication and care.
Fallout 4!!!!! This game is super underrated now a days, but is it worth playing! You can customize your character and choose who you side with/who you kill/who you save/who your friend are/what clothes you wear/what weapons you weld. Like, you cannot ask for more out of this game!! And, the world is HUGE and filled with such intricaticay. I cant rave about this game enough.
Persona 5! This is one of the best games I have ever played in my life! Like Disco Elysium, you only have so much time throughout the day to complete tasks and your relationship with peers/the skills you have are gotten from that time. So, if you choose not to hang out with someone or do homework or whatever, you could not max different parts of your personality/combat techniques. Is game is also in part a choice game, where you get to choose which route you want your narrative to be. Super fun! Also, this game has super fun turn-based combat that just leaves you on your toes! It’s super fun and super immersive and super HARD. It will take you a hundred hours to play.
If you want an immersive open-world:
I already named a few up there, but I haven’t mentioned the Horizon series yet, which is just fantastic. Both games have HUGE open worlds and a great amount of representation that just comes so easy to it and feels so natural. It’s not forced or random or anything: it’s right and natural and not a HUGE deal. It also has very immersive worlds with quite a lot to do. Although Horizon Forbidden West only has about 28 hours of the main story, it took me 80 hours to complete it because that’s just how huge the world was. Plus, the lead character, Aloy, has so much depth and interesting tidbits about her that you KNOW the game was created so much love and care. Also, the face expressions are so real and beautiful, it literally brought tears to my EYES
Red Dead Redemption 2 literally has one of the greatest open-worlds of all time and y’all are gonna play that shitty wizard game 😭?? It’s SO intimate and fun. There are times where you’ll be stopped to do a side mission and, if you die, you can’t go back to do it! I can’t say enough about this game because im sure everyone has heard it already but it’s emotional, FILLED TO THE BRIM with character depth, and super goddamn fun.
We all know about Breath of the Wild, but if you haven’t played that yet and are choosing to play Hogwarts Legacy, what are you doing ??
And just other GREAT games:
All the Batman Arkham Series games are INCREDIBLE. They literally were the stepping stones to other great games and was one of the first to introduce such an interesting half-open world concept. They fighting and stealth is ridiculously fun, and I have replayed these games so many times!
The tomb raider games are FANTASTIC. Filled with puzzles, stealth, and fighting, you cannot milk out more from this game. Plus, you okay as the incredible Lara Croft, who is such an interesting character.
The Last of Us?!? Such great representation! And what great character depth! You can see the love that goes into this game and what it means for the people that create it. Although a linear game, it does not necessarily feel that way because of the amount of exploring you are forced to do. This is one of those rare games where crafting does not feel like a chore, but an immersive and anxious experience. Both games are perfect!!!
If I forgot any, repost and add them because yeah! And, if you’re still not convinced to play something else, you aren’t an ally and stop calling yourself one!

helllooooo its me again
so sometime ago i made a custom disco elysium skill set for my silly ocs William and Eugene and i wrote a shivers interaction with William and now.. its Eugene's turn :)
SHIVERS - A man lays in his bed, deep in sleep as he recovers from the exhaustion of the day, his chest rises and falls as he breathes. He rolls in bed and he shivers. He begins to dream.
SHIVERS - I AM THE KINGDOM.
I AM STARUDANIA
YOU - What.. What do you mean?
SHIVERS - I AM THE LAND OF THE BEYOND. I AM THE GENIUS CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. I AM THE ORBITING CITIES. I AM THE KINGDOM, WITH ITS TICKING CLOCKS, THE OBSERVATORIES, THE SCHOOLS. I AM THE FORESTS, THE SOIL, THE PLANTS. I AM WHAT IS KNOWN AND I AM WHAT IS UNKNOWN. I AM THE RAIN AND I AM THE RAINBOW. I AM THE SUNNY SKIES, AND I AM THE STARRY NIGHT. I AM THE THUNDER, THE STORMS, AND I AM THE TORNADOS.
I AM THE ANIMALS. I AM THE WOLF AND I AM THE DEER, I AM THE LION, AND I AM ITS HUNGER, I AM THE RABBIT AND I AM ITS FEAR, I AM THE HUMAN AND I AM ITS INSTINCT. I AM MOTHER NATURE. I AM ETERNITY, I AM THE VERY BEGINNING AND I WILL BE THE VERY END.
YOU - How... *why*? why are you speaking to *me*?
SHIVERS - YOU ARE AN AGENT. A SHINING STAR, I HAVE SEEN YOU IN MY ROADS, IN MY DINERS, MY FORESTS. I HAVE SEEN YOU, SURROUNDED AND YET ISOLATED. I HAVE SEEN YOU. I HAVE SEEN THE YEARS OF WORK, THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, THE MONEY SPENT ON CAFFEINE. WORKING TIRELESSLY TO ACHIEVE A DREAM THAT IS NOT YOUR OWN, NOT ENTIRELY.
INSTINCT - Something is up. This.. this is weird. Why is She speaking to you? There must be a reason.
YOU - ..Why? Why are you speaking to me?
SHIVERS - I HAVE HELPED MANY. FROM THE STARUDANIAN KNIGHT, TO THOSE WHO ARE LOST IN MY WOODS, TO THOSE WHO ARE LOST IN MY STREETS, TO THOSE WHO FIGHT IN MY BATTLEFIELDS ON BEHALF OF THE KINGDOM OF THE STARS. I HAVE HELPED MANY, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO HAS HELPED, AND YET THEY ARE STILL GRATEFUL. THEIR GRATITUDE AND GOOD DEEDS WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN, NEITHER WILL YOURS.
YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE STARS, A CHILD OF MOTHER NATURE ABOVE ALL ELSE. I BELIEVE IN WHO YOU ARE, BE VIGILANT, BE SHARP, BE BRAVE. I LOVE YOU

Here are all the skill paintings I did over the last 10 months! I included close ups of (some) of my favourites from each category. It’s been great practice and I’m excited to have it all done.
(You can get all of them up on Red Bubble (username’s Scribblemakes) and as a collage as well!)

hey i really wanna get started with playing disco elysium. i've launched the game at least once at this point and saw the different "builds". what do you recommend for a first time player? are people going back and replaying with different builds? i'm a little lost.
oh! hmm ... i don't actually know what ppl recommend for peeps who are just starting the game! i feel like if you're someone who really wants to like, get to know the characters really well then you should go with a high PSY build since empathy is under there and that really helps you deal with the people side of things!
if you want, you can customize the points you put in each category and don't necessarily have to choose any of the archetypes given to you. feel free to read the descriptions for the skills and see if there's any of them you'd like to be very present in your game!
i definitely plan on replaying with diff builds once im done playing my current run and i'm pretty sure other people do that too! hope u have have fun playing when u get to it!!
