disco elysium is a story about failure. it is a story about waking up after a long sleep and a long death. it is a story about imperialism and the mask of capital. it is a story about the sharp blade of nostalgia and the importance of community and the failure of the police and the salvation that art can bring and the painful nature of hope and how cool you can look with a froggy hat and how the loss of any human life is an unmitigated tragedy and the violence of liberalism and the alienation of toxic masculinity and the redeeming power of friendship and how badly you can hurt the people you love and about the despair of cycles and the certainty that this time will be no different but the importance of believing that maybe this time it’ll stick. it is about the hole in your heart. it is about rigorous self-critique and the heat death of the universe and the painful beauty of being present in the world. but MOST IMPORTANTLY it is about making kim kitsuragi give a small smile that only you can see!!!!!

Not to sound like an old fart here but my philosophy about video games is like. A kid living out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with no internet access for miles should be able to purchase a game from walmart, take that game home, put it in their console, and play the whole game with all of its features and the only thing lack of internet affects is the inability to play online with others. Nothing else. They shouldn't be missing entire chunks of the game becuase they can't download a patch. The game shouldn't be borderline empty or unplayable without a patch.
