She was right about everything

>Wanna fuck?

that's what i wanna know
imagine another work in the same setting, largely unrelated to this game's plot. i want more

it's absolute kino
the setting is really really cool

I still don't think I quite got it. So the Pale functions as a kind of way to travel between different universes/realities, right? As in, the various countries aren't necessarely on the same planet.

Shit hits differently.

The Pale is basically entropy.

The Pale didn't exist in the Insulindian isola before humanity arrived, because the Pale is made up of the collective detritus of human thoughts and memories. This also explains why the Pale is expanding: history isn't getting any smaller, and everyone is constantly thinking about what happened before.
A lot of this game is about the past: Harry is so wrapped up regretting his ex that he drank himself into amnesia, anybody who has anything to say about politics just talks about a revolution from fifty years ago, and the real killer is a soldier from the revolution who never stopped fighting. The existence of the Pale tells us that being obsessed with the past is going to doom us. The game points to art as being an answer in two different places: it seems like the anodic music that the ravers play in the church tames the Pale somewhat, and the first successful voyage into the Pale only returned because they adopted a "psychological regime imitating the creation process of poetry," but I think more generally what the game means to say is: The only way to survive the Pale is to focus on creating something new.

the main points i got were
>the pale is essentially anti-reality leaking into reality and erasing it
>humans are the reason for this leakage

Damn, that completely flew over my head when I talked to Joyce. This is some cool as fuck shit.

hopefully only vidya from them, fuck everything else

this sounds right

I really hope this setting doesn't die with this game. I know there's supposed to be a novel also taking place in/on Elysium but I don't know if it's been translated from Romanian yet.

did the novel or the game get written first?

TV show announced to be in works. Sort of same about the game. So not soon, but hopefully in our lifetime.

Looks like it may have been concurrent to the game, it's titled "Sacred and Terrible Air"

very cool, thanks

finally after a hundred disco elysium shitpost threads, somebody gets it. DE isnt about the murder, or the politics, it was about learning to let go and move on.

>expecting the board that let Dead Money fly over their heads to learn to let go
there's your problem

I'm stuck on one of the last days, right before you step into the trap in the cave I can feel the climax approaching

....But I haven't played the game in weeks, I'm almost afraid to continue and face judgment, I feel like I've screwed up everything in the run. should I start over or power through it Zig Forums?

I thought it was pretty blatant. Look at the fucked up ‘love triangle’ in the game; They’re revenants, walking corpses. All three gave their youth to some form of national service, and it damaged them irreparably. Iosef poured himself into his Revolution; Klaasje and Lely have done heinous things on behalf of their shared country of origin. None of the three can escape what they have done, or continue to do, in the name of ideologies they gave themselves up to in the past

Screwing up is normal boost rhetoric

bruh go sleep. that's the bestworst moment in the game

To convince the drug dealer lady not to off herself

They’re very similar thematically, what with the obsession with the past both mentally and physically destroying those who can’t let go

Disco Elysium reminds me a ton of my first trips to Europe. They weren't back in the 60s obviously, but in the early 2000s. Internet access was still relatively scarce there though, and things felt like they were stuck in the past in many ways. Very odd time but Disco Elysium has that same sort of atmosphere

I'm amazed how interesting the setting of the game was and how people generally agree on this.

Shivers did a great job of painting a picture in your head

This and Mercenary Tribunal hit pretty hard given that the game has no real action combat mechanics

It's clear a lot of thought went into creating the time period. What's more interesting about the response to it is that people thought it was interesting despite all the most interesting historical events taking place either before or after the events of the game. Perhaps that's why people thought it was so interesting, that feeling of being in the eye of the storm

I wish every CRPG was like Disco Elysium because fuck player based combat with dice rolls.

> “His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back his turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. The storm is what we call progress.”
Walter Benjamin, 1940

It's disco

Like literally.
