3000 cycles i missed you

Everyone in Wyll's life just assuming the worst about him at all times as if he's not a walking beam if sunshine makes me want to throw hands with half of the nobility of the city. I won't, because he would want to be the bigger person, but they should understand the only thing between them and a "I didn't ask how big the room is" fireball is Baldur's Gate Prince Charming

disco elysium probing around a corpse's soft palate up into his brain with your bare hands to find and retrieve the hidden bullet there while kim kitsuragi watches and says "mhm. keep going" sex scene you will always be famous

the phasmid in disco elysium has to be in the 99.99th percentile of effectiveness for characters that, when i actually interacted with them first, changed my perception of the entire world a piece of media had built up. like DE, pre-phasmid, has some wondrous magical realism kind of elements that appear more as you progress (the existence of the pale and its whole deal, harry’s skills allowing him insight he should not have, etc) that juxtapose some of the more gritty and real aspects (we’re investigating a murder here. and an extremely politically and emotionally charged one at that) but i just feel like the phasmid’s appearance really solidifies that yes, this game does feature serious topics and interactions that are desperate and sad and violent, but oh my god we have to keep going. like oh my GOD we have to keep living so bad. there’s hope and here is wonder still undiscovered by the rest of the world. there’s more to see out there and while we have that we have to continue seeking it out. things can be strange and impossible and beautiful and so sad at the same time and i want to see it all. all bc this big fuck-off insect that looks like a clump of reeds told me to do it for the working class. nods. okay phasmid. okay
