I certainly don't think "Disco Elysium" is for everyone, but I do think that it's a pretty effective way of separating those who SAY they want to play as a huge fucking loser from those who ACTUALLY want to play as a huge fucking loser.

a reference image for an original character named mandy hamlin, a fat orange anthro pig girl with short wavy dark blue hair. she is wearing a pale orange sweater with blue and red checkered sleeves, blue jeans with red pockets, and a small flower in her hair. next to her is a headshot drawing of her in a pale orange ascot. she is surrounded by doodles of oranges and sparkles

Today, we celebrate The Curse of #MonkeyIsland's 28th Anniversary.

On October 30, 1997, Online Gaming Review reported that the game had gone gold. It would become available in the stores a few days later, in the week of November 10th.

A modified screenshot from Disco Elysium reading: "Rhetoric, Heroic: Failure - Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is:"

The only options are 1) (Whisper) "Are tarns women bourgeois?" and 2) "Oh god, that's bad. Surely I can think of something better."

Calvin and Hobbes comic

panel 1 description: Calvin's father walks up to Calvin, sitting down next to a record player

Calvin's father: PLAYING A RECORD? I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING INTERESTING. 

panel 2 description: Calvin's father squats down and points at two points on the record

Calvin's father: COMPARE A POINT ON THE LABEL WITH A POINT ON THE RECORD'S OUTER EDGE. THEY BOTH MAKE A COMPLETE CIRCLE IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, RIGHT?

Calvin: YEAH...

panel 3 description: close-up of Calvin's father

Calvin's father: BUT THE POINT ON THE RECORD'S EDGE HAS TO MAKE A BIGGER CIRCLE IN THE SAME TIME, SO IT GOES FASTER.
SEE, TWO POINTS ON ONE DISK MOVE AT TWO SPEEDS, EYEN THOUGH THEY BOTH MAKE THE SAME REVOLUTIONS PER
MINUTE!

panel 4 description: Calvin lies awake in bed with eyes wide-open in existential dread

this is one of the all time best C&H comics but it's been turned into a meme format and the meme completely misses the mark of the comic

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.

an illustration of dipper and mabel pines from gravity falls as teenagers. they are standing in the forest together and staring at the bill cipher statue pensively. at the bottom of the picture are two comic panels; in the first, dipper asks "it did happen, right?" with an exasperated half-smile. mabel, not looking at him, responds "yeah. it happened and it was bad."

come check out Eat God and support my upcoming stretch goal for the project! it's called "The Infinite Summer Palace" and the idea is that it's a palace whose authority and structures have overgrown to the point of absurdity, an entire city of political intrigue in a rococo palace
