de devblog - the franconigerian cavalry

“The heavy cavalry of Innocence Franconegro, sweeping over the plains and nations of the enemies of man kind, 5th Century style. Unified currency and the concept of “cool” came in their wake. They wore lamellar and carried guns. But first and foremost, Franconigerian heavy cavalry was really, really wide.” (x)

I have a distinct memory of seeing fanart of a disco eylsium character like smoking opium in an opium den??? But I can find no evidence this existing. But that’s a crazy thing for my brain to just imagine

harry from disco eylsium

!!

" The definite cause of Harry's amnesia is unknown, though he theorizes that it may be a side effect of pale exposure stemming from the two-millimeter hole in the church. " ... " and Judit Minot confirms that Harry has had previous amnesiac blackouts in the past. " ... "Harry appears to suffer a seizure, during which he experiences deja vu, and then blacks out for thirty minutes. "

Rating: i might be missing context somewhere but this only reads as a little plural !

Idea, gimmick blog, but it's Disco Eylsium personalites/stats

[britishsass]

Fic I might never write: something something disco eylsium fic about Eyes and the lines about miracles.

Aka: Random guy washes up on the shore of Martinaise and slowly trying to remember how he got there only to realize he probably died and there's no real explanation for how he's back outside of "frick you, plot magic"

disco eylsium is good bc you play through a deeply somber section that would be a thematically fitting bummer to end on, but then your former homoerotic urge shows up and spends 20 minutes lambasting how cringe fail, stupid, and smelly you are.

then the new homoerotic urge you’re with is like “well he could have been more cringe fail, stupid, and smelly so it’s honestly a win”

the same way disco elysium uses its Thought Cabinet and skill systems to explore and educate the reader about real life political ideologies, a hypothetical disco-eylsium-but-a-witch game could have branches exploring different real life forms of occultism and how the protagonist integrates them into her worldview

the funny thing is, a witch in the alps looking for a lost cat game using disco elysium's mechanics could actually be pretty compelling. imagine a narrative occult crpg where deliberately dissociating to consult with the entities only you can see to get advice or hints was a core mechanic. that probably wouldn't be very "cozy" though

More fun with German DISCO EYLSIUM: Historical "Strong Names"

Let's take a look at what "strong names" from the Revolution were:

Ironhide → Eisenhaut (Iron Skin)

"Ironhide" is clear, "Eisenhaut" (Ironskin) is pretty straightforward, sounds like an RPG skill or a kight's name.

But I *love* the two other ones: "Nimmermüd" and "Faust"!

Undying → Nimmermüd (Never-tired)

"Nimmer" sounds rather old-timey and fairytale-like, and today pretty much only used in the fixed "nie und nimmer" ("never ever!") expression. It evokes the oldschool names of god-fearing Germans, basically first names from the 1700s during lutheranian Pietism (which practically no one nowadays has).

Like "Fürchtegott" (Fear-God) or "Glaubrecht" (Believe-Justice) or "Eckhard" (Hard-Edge).

Nimmermüd, Never-Tired, fits perfectly in that old feeling. Especially with the abbreviation on "müd'", instead of the modern "müde", Never-Tire' being the *very* correct translation then.

Boxer → Faust

"Faust" is probably most known as the play by Goethe, "Faust", about a scientist making a deal with the Devil, after God and the Devil make a bet. He gains a devil companion who grants his every wish, making him pretty much unstoppable (but power doesn't save you from consequences and drama). Highly philosophical and influential for the 16th century, still pretty dope today, I had to read it in school!

But it also straight up means "fist", so there we have it. Boom 👊

Boxer → [Fist] [philosophical] [stronk power]

It's such a straight-forward localisation with a great irl reference, I am honestly shocked how clean it is as translation. Boxer? Faust!

PHILOSOPHICAL FISTICUFFS IN ZE FÄCE, STRONK NAME 👊👊👊

omg the thoughts from Disco Eylsium’s thought cabinet replace the loot from a shooter. You kill a guy, you get his gun-- or you talk to somebody, explore a place, inspect an object, and you get a thought.

Robert Kurvitz: [source]

We have an inventory for thoughts, which I realised that no one has tried yet, but it was a very logical idea to come to. You can't always be scrounging up loot from the floor, because you just have to kill people, and that takes you on a certain kind of story.

"So in our world, you also have loot, such as good thoughts that you get from a situation... To make a game that isn't entirely about killing people and taking their guns and swords, you need to have a [different] way to reward the player."

I’m having so many normal emotions about Disco Eylsium and Queen of Peace by Florence and the machine. normal like you wouldn’t believe

It’s about the: Always does her best to please / It isn't any use / Somebody's gotta lose And the: my love is no good / Against the fortress that it made of you

Like a long scream / Out there, always echoing And: Blood is running deep / Sorrow that you keep

But most importantly:

Suddenly I'm overcome Dissolving like the setting sun Like a boat into oblivion 'Cause you're driving me away

Now you have me on the run The damage is already done Come on, is this what you want? 'Cause you're driving me away

Anyone else feel the need to idk stare into the sea for a couple of hours?

[scooplery]

Disco Eylsium reactions

Why is Cuno like this

Wait, what is he doing

What the hell Cuno

Do I really have to punch him

The realization that I set up my character in such a way that he doesn’t have the physical strength to punch a literal child in the face
