Disco Elysium

I’m pretty sure there are autosaves? I never relied on them, though. After death-by-Cuno I treated the game like it was Microsoft Word circa 2000 and hit save every 5 minutes or so

henceforth Dan you shall be my disco guru

Ok I'm fine with failure, I just don't want to die and have to re-do a bunch (this isn't Dark Souls, lol). I'll check out the save system on PS5.

I finished Day 1, and apparently I'm a "sorry cop" (I have a hard time playing these games like an asshole) with a side of paranormal communism. It's certainly an achievement in terms of the writing and style, although some of it still feels a bit like busy work (go talk to everyone, trigger the right thing to progress, etc) in a way that makes me a little antsy. I'll probably keep going slowly throughout the year, it's hard to pick up for just a few minutes (on PS5 at least). And I'll probably get sidetracked by the pure dumb fun of the upcoming RE4 remake.

New update lets you make your own scenes and dialogue? Crazy, I hope that's the hot new meme format.

(midway through Day 2 now, got the body down and finished some side quests, figuring out how to progress next)

(OK now seeing the whole thing going on with the creators and the company, that's too bad)

Dis game got me stressing about virtual rent
I’m not interested in making a living

this is really cool. i'm working so hard to try and love this incredibly fucked up life which was, five years ago, my worst nightmare, and the best parts of it just aren't anything i know how to explain to anybody who hasn't lived it.

i love my friend who reaches out to me every day to say "hi", even when she's feeling awful. i love whenever i see another Birdie Wing meme. I love when my girlfriend comes over and we don't talk about our emotions, we just cook dinner together. I love the little ironic catchphrases we have, like Really Good Ally or There Were No Signs. I love girldick. I love the car my girlfriend's next door neighbors drive, a Subaru pickup with two huge trans flags trailing out the cab. I love that the most offensive thing about that car is that the custom plate ("TRNS UWU") is a California plate. I love the trans bus driver who drives the nine. I love how every grocery store clerk here just calls everyone "my friend", not just because they don't know other people's pronouns, but because it doesn't really matter.

I could go on forever. I should play more Disco Elysium.

Picked this up again yesterday. Last save was July... Found a woman to date but was advised to explore the coast first
