You don't get it Kim, I'm like a noble creature of suffering

You don't get it Kim, I'm like a noble creature of suffering.

AN ICEBREAKER. A HUMAN CAN OPENER. TEQUILA SUNSET, THE END OF ALL THINGS

one must imagine Harrier Du Bois to be happy

Nothing can stop an icebreaker, not even the judgement of homosexual Seolites.

you say you're... based? based on what?

It was time to banish that pitiful, *sad* look from your face -- and replace it with a perfect reflection of your unyielding resolve, your noble suffering.

Don't drag Camus into this he doesn't deserve it.

he's just like me

You guys actually shave right?

I actually took on Harrier's muttonstache in real life so no. Never.

Not to mention his presumably absurd dependence on drugs and alcohol.

Does only fascist Harry get a comb?

look bad when clean shaven

look bad with pube beard

first time visiting Anon Babble
visiting Anon Babble now

So how did that deserter guy snipe a dude in the fucking open mouth, from an entire kilometer away, with a 4.46 mm bullet (SMG caliber bullet), through a window panel, WITHOUT having the bullet tumble, and not overpenetrate out of the target?

pure incel melty made him hyperfocus

second level plasm effects

4.46 mm bullet (SMG caliber bullet)

what matters is bullet weight and powder charge

but yeah, 1km is a lucky shot

Reminder that one of the most rational level-headed and likable characters in the game (Lilienne) is a fascist revolutionary

Reveres the sun as if it were a deity (reminiscent of traditionalist pagan beliefs commonly associated with esoteric right-wing values, is also used to portray monarchists/fascists in the DE universe (Gary the Cryptofascist has a flag on his wall with the old Revacholian suzerainty's logo, which is a sun, and your own portrait adds a sun-like insignia in a Fascist run as well), likely connected to the black sun)

names her skiff "The Sun"

wields a sword (like the in-game royalists) (also like Mussolini)

Shivers explicitly says she owns a pair of cavalry boots

taught her daughter the word "revolutionary" (and yes, the definition of "revolutionary" used in DE also includes fascism, Call Me Manana calls you one if you choose fascist-leaning dialogue options)

she's a no-nonsense working class citizen who's skeptical of the union, critical of the drunks around her, and infuriated with the delinquents and criminals in revachol

titus says that the fishing village staunchly refuses to unionize, likely at the behest of Lilienne and the washerwoman

Lilienne's daughter hums the overworld theme, which was a tune used by the Revacholian royalist forces

successfully going on a date with her doesn't lead to her practically opening her legs for you, instead she sets boundaries and thanks you while considering a second bout later down the line to see if you can stick with your sobriety and piece your life back together

esteems her family above all else

immensely cooperative with the police, even with the knowledge of harry's recklessness and endangerment of multiple people, including and especially himself

whereas the washerwoman calls the RCM a bad omen, Lilienne has splash dialogue that says she is relieved to see the RCM

her outfit's color palette is the same as the revacholian suzerainty's flag (blue and gold)

yeah, I'm not even a gunfag, but it's pretty clear that the devs don't really understand shit about weapons

Well a narrow bullet is still usually going to lighter, unless you are making some comedically long shaped bullets. And if we make the assumption that it was an extremely fast moving projectile, the lack of overpenetration is going to make even less sense.

The first time I played the game I actually thought the killing shot came from the peephole with some sort of silenced gun, because the sniper shot was just physics defining.

because the sniper shot was just physics defining.

"when a society's revolutionary fervour reaches the third and highest level, inframeterialists theoreticians have postulated that the laws of physics cease to be laws"

Like the hanged man said, he was killed by Communism. The Deserter's brain was juiced by the bug and he got a magical shot off through revolutionary action. The poster who said plasm is correct.
discoelysium.fandom.com/wiki/A_Brief_Look_at_Infra-Materialism

I used to think Kim was overly judgemental of harrier given their circumstances, but I realise that's intentional. He literally subscribes to a religion called "moralism". His personal doctrine is an absurd cope given the nature of the world he lives in and actively gets in the way of Harrier's detective work sometimes. This game is kinda well written

VISUAL CALCULUS: The man doesn't know the bullet has entered his brain. He never will. Death comes before the realization

Don't forget that Measure head is actually 100% correct on everything he says. People just instinctively hate him because of le racism.

t. BBC poster

Your opinion on Moralism ?

it's a parody of Europeanfagging. Bureaucratic to no end, takes harm reduction to absurd extremes, masks capitalist greed through progressive wokery, and is just *lame*

I almost went down that route on my first playthrough before I realized it was a literal government glow op when I had to talk to the "special friend" about it.

Huh. Never did the communist side quest. I knew there was the whole thing about the pale being influenced by human consciousness, so I guess in the world of disco elysium a strong enough schizo willpower having minor reality bending effects makes sense. Cool.

please play it or look it up on youtube because it's absolutely hilarious

Pure skill and the devs being filthy e*ros that don't know how guns work
also we don't know about the powder load and bullet composition. Maybe it was some super high velocity round?

Probably just pure luck.

He literally subscribes to a religion called "moralism".

No he doesn't. Moralism is the name of Centrism in the setting, it's politics not religion. The humanist religion is Dolorianism and even that is secular.

Kim is just a nag. It's who he is. If you snap back at one of his early bitch outs he'll tell you he's trying to cut back on it and EdC will chime in saying he's got a reputation for it and really is trying to stop.

And I was also aware of the rich light bending guy, but I always thought that his whole deal was a kind of 50/50 on whether or not he actually was bending the laws of physics or harry was just hallucinating shit.

But this is intolerably bad.

schizo willpower having minor reality bending effects

So commies and ultranationalists get magic powers.
What about fascists and moralists?

I am one IRL

I feels like Moralism and being an agent of the Moralintern are different things

Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy - "Oh, *that's* what you mean. Yes, I've heard of this effect, though I've never witnessed it myself, of course. It has something to do with our Weiss-Wiesemann coefficient."
Encyclopedia - The Weiss-Wiesemann coefficient is a ratio designed to reflect the difference in net worth between individuals. When the coefficient is close to 1 (or 100%) it means one person possesses all the net worth among that group of individuals. It's been observed that when the Weiss-Wiesemann coefficient reaches about .96 or so, the laws of physics begin to bend around the high-net-worth individual.
Encyclopedia - The Weiss-Wiesemann coefficient for you and this individual appears to be...
Encyclopedia - .9998 repeating.

Unironically not as bad as bad as the commies and fascists pretend it is, they're just butthurt the Moralists won't play the radicalization and revolution game like they do.
Shit's fucked. The Moralintern more than likely won't make things better any time soon, but a revolution will only make things worse.
Its actually very fucking ironic that the "Moralist" faction is built for the most demoralized people who no longer believe a revolution of idealists can fix things.

In this game being a nationalist is considered fascist, its one of the major complaints about it.

I thought he was just going to be "ahah funny the royalist is a stuck up old fool" but instead he genuinely was a sad character.

It's worse than anyone says because the world doesn't have time for "slow and steady change". It's going to end in 30 years.

how do we know La Revacholiere wasn't just Harry having yet another schizo meltdown ?

Yeah but the super high velocity round would have totally gone through the guys head, which is the big problem for me. That and the bullet being mushroomed out, which means it did not tumble after going through a window. The physics do not check out. Like impossible luck I can kinda excuse, because impossible luck does happen now and then. But like others said, apparently in DE strong political willpower can just bend reality, so all my complaints are moot. I still maintain that a 4.46 is a bizarre caliber for a rifle.

Every now and then. I work around very few people, so sometimes I let myself have a neckbeard.
I keep a mustache most of the time.

4.46 mm bullet (SMG caliber bullet)

Small bullet diameter, likely long cartridge, meaning very high velocity. If anything that just helps with not overpenetrating. As for the shot, a very high velocity rifle with a good scope and some luck with the weather and 1km is hardly impossible or even rare.

in the fucking open mouth

I really don't think he did anything more than aim at the head, the rest was just happenstance.

tumble

I don't think it was ever stated that the bullet DIDN'T tumble?

The Suzerain is the king, damn it! Have you forgotten already!?

...they have forgotten already...

Because the game is a prequel to the book

ts niggas chopped

It's going to end in 30 years.

The pale is literally nihilism in its final form. Stop being depressed and it will go away.

sequel is canceled

Cuno spin off is canceled

We gets a mobile game inferior version of the game instead (it's now a visual novel)

Original team is splintered into multiple studios including some trying to destroy each others

I wonder if all those spiritual successors and whatever ZA/UM is working are going to be at least pretty good, I doubt they'll be able to recapture the lightning...

So how does the world end in the book?
Revachol gets nuked, and it accelerates the pale so much that it just covers everything in those mere few decades?

I was aware of that dialog, but encyclopedia has shown itself to be prone to compromises. Also Kim apparently did not experience any effects, and I refuse to believe that a humble RCM liutenant Kim is that rich to avoid the effects from a triple digit billionaire. Unless of course you want to take the philosophical angle that Kim is contempt with what he has in life, therefore he is spiritually rich.

The game is based on a tabletop role-playing game setting that Kurvitz had previously created, later forming ZA/UM in 2016 to adapt it into a video game. This is the second time the Elysium setting is explored, following the 2013 novel Sacred and Terrible Air

Did anyone read that novel ?

We're living in it right now and spoilers it's not going to be the end of history (sorry Fukuyama).

ok ill try

The Pale is people from the past using psychic powers to unwittingly steal ideas from the future, causing those futures to never happen, corroding the very fabric of physical reality

Did anyone read that novel ?

No because it sucks and actually goes against the superiors games messages because the author is a dirty commie.

where did they get those psychic powers? and isn't pale the past?

Red Info/Summer Eternal will jerk off and never release a game so they are out as literally commies. ZA/UM is a shell, can't imagine whatever they turn out will have any real interesting things. I've backed the Longdue journalist game but I think Dark Math's game will be better.

it is going to end regardless, whether commies would be in power or not
unless we're going all-in on metaphysical philosophy, in which case it would prudent to know how literally anything can be influenced

I mean, he wrote that novel when he was 27, he's now 40 years old

human can opener is a pretty cool title

Unlike a majority, I think ZA/UM could still do cool stuff but they really need to recruit top tier people, Locust City had a lot of newcomers and it looked really cool (I don't get why it got canceled) so clearly, there's potential for more (even if I doubt it will recapture fully what Disco is about, then again, I doubt any of the successor will manage this.)

but they really need to recruit top tier people

Well sure, IF they do that it would change things.

A high velocity, low diameter bullet is precisely what gives you the most penetration. For instance the FN 5.7 mm pistol can shoot through soft body armor designed to stop pistols precisely because it is so much slimmer and faster than a 9mm for example. And the bullet mushroomed cleanly, which means it was not tumbling.

Probably just firing into the room not caring if he hit the guy or the girl. Happens to get a headshot.

I know this is barely any different than real life religious imagery, but the focus on the lungs as a divine organ weirds me out.

The Moralintern (i.e. neoliberal status quo) would sooner bring about the end of the world than suffer the existence of something they can't control, let alone people hopeful for an alternative system to the one keeping them and their benefactors in power.

It means Kim's got the money of a man who saves responsibly to fund his expensive car hobby on top of maintaining a home while Harry is borderline destitute due to spending everything on drugs and alcohol.

He said we wanted to dome to guy and have his skull pop open so the splattered brains cover the girl. The covert mouth shot was an accident.

writing is just bluffing with surface-level knowledge that you found, hoping to trick commonners with even less knowledge

t. never thought much of it as a nogun yuro

rolled a 6 6

communist superpowers

With pale weirdness of "coming out where you want to be as long as the math is correct" could allow for it.
Also if it wasn't for that lucky shot the mercenaries would've gone by business as usual, they're used to it.

Officer, screaming racially loaded slurs from your hotel room every morning will not "return" Revachol, and will certainly not help the investigation.

Also muh wife

Yes, because fascists recognize that morality is aesthetic.

Well it ways the ratio needs only be 0.96 for the laws of physics to start getting wonky. For kim to even get below .99 against a triple digit billionaire is ludicrous. Too lazy to do the math on how fucking rich kim would have to be to have a ratio lower than 0.96

A high velocity, low diameter bullet is precisely what gives you the most penetration.

That's not at all how it works in any practical scenario, which is why the US is switching (or trying to) to 6.8mm from 5.56mm. Sectional density is a thing. It stopping inside his skull after a 1km flight and a glass window is in no way unrealistic.

And the bullet mushroomed cleanly, which means it was not tumbling.

No, it just means it was mostly aligned with the surface normal when it began penetrating his head. Bullets do not keep going in the same direction when they hit something, look at any ballistics gel test, if the bullet tumbles even slightly it will deviate in the direction of the point if possible (e.g. a small rotation of something like 30 degrees, which is reasonable given the short distance between the glass and the head).

i really do think all the factions have their own version of plasm

death cult that is literally destroying reality

why the US is switching (or trying to) to 6.8mm

that project is on extremely thin ice. given how the army just cancelled like 6 vehicle projects for being dumb, im guessing this one will also get axed THANKFULLY BECAUSE IT'S DUMB AF

you're kidding yourself if you believe she's any kind of revolutionary or holds any kind of ideology or anything but the "yeah not my problem" poorfag normie aiming to live to the next day kind of moralism.
she's essentially the same kind of person as Kim.

Yeah they switch to a fatter bullets because those have better long range accuracy. Trying to hit talibans across the mountain tops with 5.56 nato traumatized the US millitary.

it just means it was mostly aligned with the surface normal when it began penetrating his head

Yeah and if the bullet was aligned with the target normally, it means it was not tumbling. Show me a single youtube video of a bullet going through a pane of glass and still mushrooming. It just does not happen.

Her daughter knows what a revolutionary is and thinks highly enough of the vocation to give it to her beloved stuffed animal. That counts for something.

He missed.

Why did modding never take off

He took the Coriolis effect into account

My "beard" looks like pubes on a toilet seat. Desolate, disgusting, eye-catching. I trim it off whenever it peeks beyond stubble. Except on the chin, it's full there, but I keep it short or trim that off too occasionally.

No it means you can't grow up in Revachol without being told about the Revolution you incorrigable sperg

Invested in shivers. The city steadied his aim.

Told by whom? Lilienne is the only one who couldve told Lily about the Revolution. And rendered it in such a manner that the concept of a "revolutionary" is illustrated in a good enough light to warrant assigning the label to Lamby. Doesn't sound very moralist to me.

Insulindian Miracle

Good, there can be only one.

Only the strong survive.

Combs are bourgeois.

I actually don't think he looks that bad for mid 40s (assuming he's actually in his mid 40s). He still has his hair and he has some sweet muttonchops.

are women burgeois?

One of the games will be amazing, one will be good, another will be shit and the rest will never come out

OUGHAA I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I NEVER WILL. JUST BECAUSE TWO COPS AGREED ON SOMETHING, DOESNT MAKE IT THE TRUTH. ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SAYING HE'S MADE THAT SHOT WITH THE VERY LAST BULLET HE HAD? BECAUSE A MAGICAL STICK INSECT TOLD HIM SO? DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID?!
INSULINDIAN PGASMIDS SRENT RESL! I DARE YOU TO PROVE OTHERWISE AAAAAAA

Every 2-3 days. Neckbeard becomes very noticeable after three days and it looks absolutely horrible.

Neoliberals and Commies

Warlocks of pure magical potence. Heavily intertwined with Animus Mundi. The Spirit of The World.

Moralists and Fascists

Monks, Paladins and Warriors of a Will Made of Steel. Heavy spiritual reserves and their interfacing with the physical plane is akin to magic in what they can accomplish by pure will alone(Moralitern guy says they'll have solved the technological civillization in 30 years time, they also end the world with nukes 27 years after the events of the game(. Very little to no magical abilities.

Imagine this. Disco Elysium spinoff also focusing on detective work, but done by Lucas Pope

underrated comment

That Cuno dual protgonist sequel sounds INSANELY sick, I wish we could have gotten that. The premise is really solid.

me

It was worked on for more than a year too, that video was 9 month before the game being canceled, I wonder why it got canceled

The Cuno game sounds like shit and completely antithetical to what Disco was trying to say. All the planned endings being characters dead and/or despressed + brainwashed is extremely cringe. Compare this to Disco where you always solve the case and meet the mystery stick nigga, it just depends on how well you do it.

Should I start over? I got a couple days in then never finished the game. I remember a lot of what happened at least.

Just start over bro

didn't get the Bad Ending

youtube.com/watch?v=JAh1HB6KhRA&t=194s

Yes. Extremely. Woman are the biggest consumers in a capitalist society. For instance 85% of all new truck purchases in america are made or influenced by women.

??? You still solve the case and find a miracle in the bad ending. Harry being fired and told to get sober if he wants to join to force again also isn't as grim as Cuno dying, or Cuno waiting at the edge of the pale to die, or Cuno getting brainwashed by island cultists. There's 0% of coming back from that as opposed to Harry's 0.001% of actually fixing his shit.

Don't tell me what to do

fascists

Semen retention and astral projecting to their streets of their ancestral homeland

Moralists

Nuclear bombs

YOU WOULD DO WELL TO RID YOURSELF FROM THE INFLUANCE OF THE MEN OF WO

I like to imagine his face was in a comedically wide basedpog as he got shot.

Perfect simulation of what Ambrosious Costeaux feels.

Once every 2 weeks when it grows to 5mm length and starts itching.

original team is communist

gets fragmented almost immediately while they fight each other for the rights of being the "true" creator of the IP

poetry

I keep a well-maintained small mustache and beard as a self-discipline thing. If I can wake up, I can get out of bed. If I can get out of bed, I can go to the restroom. If I can go to the restroom, I can look in the mirror. If I can look in the mirror, I can see my face. If I can see my face, I can maintain my beard. If I can maintain my beard, I can maintain my appearance. If I can maintain my appearance, I can maintain my life.

trying to make this about heh commie infighting when it all happened because of a capitalist stealing the company

The only difference is whether you're paid or do it for free

commies have no idea how the market works

no wonder they want to abolish it.

it was an investor selling out to another investor

sorry, literally no way to make this about commies

be communist

agree to capitalist terms

capitalism happens

"FUCKING CAPITALISM FUCKED US OVER WHERE ARE OUR COMMUNIST SUPPORTERS WE NEED THEIR HELP OH THEY DON'T REALLY CARE"

it already is about commies

stealing

No, they signed it away legally because they'd rather spend their time plugging holes in Marxism with pilpul instead of learning how to navigate the system they live in.

how is moralism expanding the pale?

real?

By doing nothing to stop it and maintaining the Innocentric system that progresses it all the faster, Innocences are the worst offenders for Pale expansion

non-moralists fuck the world up

moralists don't fuck it up further

"THOSE DAMN MORALISTS"

the world is literally going to fade into nothingness in three decades if nothing is done

the people in power are letting it happen when they could do anything against it

"this is okay because they didn't cause it"

The first Innocence was 6000 years ago. Moralism goes back at least as far as Dolores Dei, 400 years ago. Four centuries of doing nothing but watch the world die. And then in the novel it's finally brought to a head by an Innocence who thinks the world needs to end and it needs to go even faster. Without Moralism something might have been done.

I find myself stricken with sudden ennui within 5 minutes of continuing my savefile.

Nigger

Total ethnic cleansing except me mate Kim is the only moral option.

bros, my gf left me yesterday, is it time?

I even have a note like the one Harry keeps in his clipboard

The only responsible thing to do is down bottles of liquor and smoke, maybe go for a walk. Also call her nonstop.

yea

it does though, Kim takes all the wind out of his sails and makes him feel stupid
