  • def Disco Elysium

    heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards

    it’s also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn’t shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn’t spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it’s also one of the most hopeful games I’ve ever played at the same time

    I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scjmming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-













  • The USA has a two faced one party system. Two sides of the same coin or “good cop/bad cop” if you will.

    Both parties serve the rich, support imperialism and so on. In terms of economics they have the exact same function of serving the 10% over the 90%.

    In terms of domestic affairs the good/bad cop dynamic really kicks in. The reps are ultraconservative, while the dems try to mud the waters with their slight progressiveness, in the end only coopting those things as not to endanger capitalism.

    The best you will get from the dems is a
    “I’ll try to not make things worse - for now. Vote for me or my buddy elephant over there will beat you up”.
    (the not making things worse refers to their social policy, not their economic ones. Those will still get progressively worse for the working majority, even if it might be a bit more indirect. All the dems really are is a silken glove over the iron fist of capital).

    And tbh, for everyone outside of the US it doesn’t make a difference whether the bombs the policeman of the world drops wherever they please & the bags of money they send to genociders/reactionaries/fascists/terrorists have prideflag & BLM stickers on them, or not…
