Decline Now that the dust has settled, can we admit that Disco Elysium is decline?

'Progressives' don't unironically admire Stalin - people who admire Stalin are the same "Life is so meaningless I wish I could CHANGE REALITY" morons that could just as easily admire Napoleon or Hitler or Mao, since what they really desire is the masturbatory satisfaction of untrammeled power without any actual ideology to have to work through.
Admiring Napoleon is like admiring Mao or Hitler.

Yes, that was exactly my point.
That was a stupid point - that was my point. Unless you want to explain yours more.

There is a Russian professor Oleg Sokolov, 60+ yo Napoleon worshipper and specialist, author of 60 books and stuff.

He shot and dismembered his 24 yo gf this fall.

Just sayin'

No, I'm good. People who can read figured it out the first time.

Ok, so you made a potentially dumb point and are unable to back it up when asked. I hope this is not your usual manner of discussing things.

Goral has Alzheimer? He keeps reposting the same review over and over.
Grade A retard, not sure why you're surprised.
There are a few reasons:

1) This thread isn't really about Disco as a game (just read the OP).

2) He already gave his review elsewhere. So copy-pasting it here feels completely out of place. Sure, one could make an argument that there is Disco and here is Disco too, therefore his course of action is warranted, but the truth is that he completely misses the context, which makes what he did feel very random thing to do. Almost "Carthago delenda est" like.

3) His review isn't even that scathing. Actually, it's rather bland and fairly legitimate opinion. I have seen much worse bullshit (again, just read the OP).

Good review, pal.

This is why it is an absolute waste of time to show the cretinous mob of the deluded disco derpcrew examples of the game's decline. they will never engage with dissenters or critics honestly. they will outright ignore it, then eventually deny its existence entirely, all while claiming that no one ever has provided examples and you are just being contrarian. typical gommie tactics.
There is no need to be so butthurt over somebody commending Goral's effort. Or the lack of thereof. He's clearly following Bill Gate's philosophy in this regard. :hero:

The real issue - and I am shocked that you, of all people, have failed to notice it - is that Goral talks about "political correctness and SJW content" in his review, while ignoring the biggest danger the Codex has ever faced: THE COMMUNISM!

Most here don't want to talk about communism because of fear getting accused as antisemites. In my country I can talk all I want about jews involvement in communism.

Er... the USSR was antisemitic at times too. Like modern progs. They defend Islam and Palestine and bash Israel and jews. Sometimes I doubt if the sacred book of Communism was the Quran and not Marx. Both ideologies can combine seamlessly.

To me jews look like people who deserve to live and not be obliterated, plus my country is generally aligned (so far) with Israel. We have to honour the pacts with our allies.

Yeah, except the early Soviet Communists had a ridiculous amount of jews at the top. At least until Stalin took over.

So I just like to say that I started DE, have done day 1(6 or so hours) and I love it. It's really hard to call it a rpg, but I don't really care about that.
For now, that racist guy feels like just an excuse to put some political comments(then again, the game is full of it, so...), but I really hope that guy has more importance in the game and not there just for that. My dumbass character died trying to punch a kid :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
This game has some nice concepts(like voices on your head) that can further be explored in more crpgs. The skill check in some dialogues are nice, I'm glad I can pass even those that I have low percentage(and fail those that have 100% percentage), but I still think it should have a lower limit so that if you are below x, it's impossible to pass it. Otherwise, I can just reload the game over and over and then it just makes me wonder what is even the point of a skill check. Although I have not done that yet(I'm accepting the fact that I can't pass all skill check and even fail those that I'm above 90%), it's still something to comment about.
I'll wait until I finish the game to say more about it, though. Also, I didn't start communism, so I guess I'm not getting the best ending :smug:.

Napoleon was worse than Mao: he destroyed many ancient glorious states like Venice replacing with queerish threecoloured states. He was also a sjw.
Mao just took over a state that was already ruined by a spoiled medic.

Napoleon was an usurper that capitalised on the vacuum of power after the Revolution. Which is how most (or all) revolutions go. You want to topple the State? Then beware than the result isn't an even more oppressive State.

He couldn't be a sjw - say about him what you want but he fucked a lot of women so not a sjw :smug:

Insert Title Here RPG Wokedex Codex Year of the Donut I'm very into cock and ball torture
The intelligent and wide-ranging debate I see Disco Elysium has sparked is a testament to the game's artistic and literary qualities.
Just as an aside, the most-discussed games at the time of release on the Codex in my memory were without a doubt Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

Somebody should tell at this point that by formal qualities Pillaz is RPG and incline compared to Kommunisco.
