#or disco elysium

[ddarker-dreams]

I can imagine whenever chrollos darling is caught doing her usual mischief, tiny options to wriggle out of trouble start floating around her head like, lie, threaten, excuse, seduce, confess and so on... its quite cute seeing her pause and try to figure out which one has the best success rate.

Narrator: Before your scheme can progress further, the would-be victim makes his presence known.

Chrollo: Ah, there you are. I was starting to get worried.

Narrator: His eyes reveal what his cadence does not — exasperation. Mild, yet present nonetheless.

Narrator: He isn't pleased.

Narrator: Perhaps wandering off under the guise of getting fresh air was a lapse in judgment.

[PERSUASION] Okay, I know I should've come back sooner, but being around so many people makes me anxious.

[DECEPTION] I got lost in the crowd — I've been trying to make my way back to you.

[INTIMIDATION] Spare me the Prince Charming act. Try anything and I'll scream bloody murder.

[RELIGION] Think up a relevant Bible verse that would amuse him enough to grant you clemency.

[SLEIGHT OF HAND] Sneakily rip your garment so you can claim a wardrobe malfunction delayed your return.

Attack.

i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.

and looked it up…

i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.

I hope the "What if Disco Elysium was about a witch finding her cat in the mountains" post never leaves the gaming discourse vernacular. It will never not be funny to me bc it's got all the Gamer Entitlement™ levels of CoD bros throwing hissy fits about "woke" shit but instead of being couched in far right reactionism it's the exact kind of "Kingdom of Conscience" style liberal outrage at anything with conviction and beliefs that DE waxed on about. Like even chuds who get mad that the game calls you out for being racist interact with the themes of DE better and understand them more than Cat Lady did.

the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.

the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.

a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."

are y'all hearing about this? apparently ZA/UM split up into three studios and they're all looking to make a disco elysium successor which they all announced on the same day

they're also all calling the others fake cashgrabs so who's to say which one is for real

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.
